I was recently given the oppurtunity to throw both the T-Rex and the Goblin. The T-Rex flew very similar to how a monster felt when I first tried to throw it; very overstable and long. Just like other high speed drivers, I would not recomend it if you don't have the arm to throw it as hard as it needs to be thrown to ensure its entended flight. I was told by the person who let me throw it that it was a mix beetween a T-Bird and a Wraith. The Goblin was an interesting multipupose disc that had great floating potential and I don't mean in the water. I stood about 25 yds apart from another guy and with a strong cross wind tossed it back and forth like it was nothing. Predictable straight up and straight down floating flight paths made this disc look very desirable. If any of you can remember there used to be a disc called a "Hammer/Hammerhead" the Goblin seems to be a mix of that and a Panther, maybe a Bulldog. Just my opinion. I will be purchasing one as soon as they come out.

Just picked up a brand new Star Plastic T-REX and its a pretty nice driver. If you're a fan of other high speed drivers like the WRAITH, STARFIRE, ORC, or MONSTER you'll want to pick one of these bad boys up. I watched a friend of mine chunk it over 500 ft like it was nothing on a hyzer line, but this guy does have a cannon for an arm.

so where can a person go to just pick one up? me want teerex!

The only way I know how to get one is either through Innova directly or the World Doubles players package.

If you were an am that merched at EIEIO last Saturday you had the opportunity to get one/some with your scrip. :D

Yup !!!! Seen them !!!!! They went fast !!!! :D

Nice headwind disc.

They're out. I just ordered one from Innova West, discgolfvalues.com. They've got the sweet old school star stamp, too.

Where can I order some with the star stamp? Thanks for any help in advance
rWc#3523 :cool:

discgolfvalues.com

When I went there tonight, they had the star stamp pic featured but said the ones sent would NOT have the first run star stamp. Thanks anyway. rWc3523 :cool:

haha i got a prototype with a double pro wraith stamp on it....flies awesome though. now 500+ in a facewind is easy too! :D

Mark has one of the Star stamped ones up on ebay. Actually, the exact one that's in the picture I believe. You can look at his auctions off of discgolfvalues.com or I think his seller name is mrfourputt.

Zonedriven will have them this morning. Star Stamp. Lots of tasty colors, including my favorites, neon pink and neon green.

Thanks Matt, couldn't fine 'em there yesterday. Looks great!

Did you get yours from Coda? I saw that hge had some with that stamp in Wimberley.

Zonedriven has the Star stamp

Discgolfvalues does not have the ones with the star stamp

I ordered from zonedriven, and they had some unusuall colors, but now all the color are normal star colors, I wonder if I will get what I ordered? Did anyone who ordered right away see those too?

Nice Stamp !!!!!! MMMMmmmmmmm..............T-Rex !!!!!!

ya i had to beat him up to get it! its my favorite disc in my bag though....that thing is a crusher!!! i have had trouble with the star wraith dumping over on me when i really throw it.

can anyone give a valid comparison between the Tee-rex and the ESP surge?

I read wraith distance and I assume that means pro-wraith since from what I have done and seen not many people get more D with the star or champion wraith compared to the Pro.

And as far as the stability I would put the Surge as a little more stable than a 10x kc tee-bird (that is when I stopped throwing tee bird so I dont know what they are like now)

Is there anyone out there that has thrown both and if so what is the general thought about any differences in these two discs?

I appoligize if this is looked at as a thread hijack I didnt want to start a new thread. (lazy)

Heard right from the men and ladies at ZD:

The teerex is going to be as long as the wraith, being more stable than the star or the cfr (depending on which side of the stability argument you stand).
They also iindicated it's going to be a great headwind max d driver that big arms can throw _flat_!!!!

sweeeeeeeeeeet! :eek:

I thought that the Surge was less stable than the Wraith, so obviously the T-Rex would be a lot more overstable.

Have you thrown a 173 + DX Wraith ?

For me, the Wraith is less hi speed stable than the surge. But they finish comparable to each other.

I hear the surge is a fun roller disc.

My white 170-g Star stamped star TeeRex is not overstable at all. I'm no cannon-arm, so I was really surprised by this.

Received 2 Star-stamped 175 TeeRex's today. Very nice. The TeeRex is definitely more stable than the Star Wraith. Definitely like a TeeBird with more speed and hook. Gotta have a big arm to truely appreciate it. It will definitely fit in my bag.

Yeah, I was with him when he first threw it and I would put the stability of his TeeRex around Pro Starfire. Nothing like the "Fast Firebird" I have been hearing. Hmmm

Wasn't the "fast Firebird" moniker also applied to the Viking (also incorrectly, as it turned out) before it was released?

That's what I keep hearing about the TeeRex

Yes. It seems that while Dcraft is good at copying(and improving) Innova molds, the roles can't be reversed. I have been waiting for Innova to release something that could compete with the Predator and I thought this might the the one. It's beginning to look like another misfire, leading to yet another disc from Innova that does the same thing as all the rest.

However, I do have two for sale if anyone wants them. :)
$25 each or both for $40. I'll cover shipping.

I was throwing the T-Rex this weekend into fairly strong winds and it performed great. Very fast and penetrated into the wind with very good distance. The guys that saw me throw it all wanted one. :D

To me this will likely replace a Firebird.

What people seem to forget is that a disc manufacturers make many weights of discs that will still have the tendencies of flight they hold at other weights.

You want something that will compete with a "pred," maybe the max weight firebirds are too much disc for you, you should try a nice 169 or something. That's the closest thing to a predator I've found. Otherwise, why even bother to slam a manufacturer if you've got a disc that works for you. Sounds like you really want to throw innova, but you also want a direct copy of a discraft mold. Make up you mind and throw.
:confused: :confused: :confused:

What's up stubby? Nah the Firebird is not too much disc, in fact its not enough...even in max weight.

Good thing to see that you'll continue to use the best disc on the market......

One thing innova got right: in his prime, T-Rex was a predator. :D

Hero,

Is that true? Has Innova finally come down to discrafts level of coping molds? Oh no hehe I'm just joking of course.

This is why We start multiple scoot_er threads...everything gets blended into "why my discs are better than yours" instead of utilizing this forum for information. I don't want to read about the predator in a TeeRex topic. I want to read about the Predetor in the "Predetor" forum.

Instead, we have to sift through the drifts and the BS like everyother topic in this whole thing.

To those that have <font color="red"> Thrown </font> the Teerex, how did it handle in the headwind and what type of winds have you tried it in? It's going to be a windy Spring in Michigan!

I threw one a few times in a slight headwind and it was like a real flippy Predator.

FYI, I have thrown the TeeRex, it seemed like nothing spectacular, then after watching my friend who doesn't have very much power turn his over like it was a valkyrie, the disc seemed like a joke. Oh crap, sorry, I didn't mean to compare the disc to another disc (valkyrie). I'm sorry that you have to sit here and read about "valkyries" on a TeeRex thread, my bad.

NO ONE MENTION ANY OTHER DISCS HERE. ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS DO NOT INCLUDE COMPARISONS TO OTHER THINGS THAT WE UNDERSTAND!

Dangit, now you've gone and upset me!

Hero,

I don't know. I just quoted Ryan, and then replied to Ryan. But to stay on topic here, i've held a Trex. Felt like a flatter Fbird. I'll stick with my stuff..... :D

I have only thrown the World Doubles black Teerex's. They are the BOMB. The longest disc I have thrown yet!! I hope the rest of the "First Runs" will be the same disc. If not I will be hunting some more of the Black ones. I think they are 175 or 174. They will flip if you are a big gun and have a lot of speed and snap, but throw them on a HIZER line with some rip and they will go for days without much anhyzer flip. My opinion is Its great..Just what I needed, a piggy real piggy orc!!

You are a class A #$*&$! I came on her



Rhett...You missed one when editing Ryan's post :D

I really have not thrown this disc yet to compare it to any other disc. I'll have to check it out !!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif If it holds like my Dx Wraith , then I'm OK with that.

I have not thrown the surge either, for any direct or in-direct comparison.
I do know folks that I have seen.................Crank the snot out of both discs !!!! :cool:

Oh................and I thought the Predator has it's own thread already ?
It was compared to a overstable Crystal Tsunami , I think ?
Do they make Glow Z Predators ?

Anyway...........
How light does this T-Rex disc come in ? 170 ? 160 ?

Possibly a Champion or Dx version , later in the year ?

I'm pretty sure the Star TeeRex is only available in 170 and up currently. I think DX is due out next, not sure about if/when Champ will be put out.

I just got my TeeRex today but I haven't had a chance to throw it yet. It looks and feels almost exactly like my Star Wraith, so I'm not sure what about it will make it different. It seems to have the same amount of dome, and the same size lip on the bottom of the rim, so just from a cursory glance I don't really know what kind of headwind capabilities it will have. Hopefully, I can get out tomorrow and test it. I'm loving the feel so far though -- the wide rim on both it and the Wraith are just perfect for my hand.

I received my Star stamped max weight TeeRex's yesterday. Seemed like a Wraith but more stable. Thrown hard and flat it held it's line. Even in a 20+mph headwind. I haven't thrown anything lighter but waiting on a couple of 172's. I wonder if they'll be flippy?

I hate to say it but I think your friend might have just been releasing it wrong. I can turn anything over like a valk if I release it late. I have thrown the Teerex and I do think it is more overstable as well. I have only thrown the World Dubs black ones though. These are stable and can hold on when a big am is torqueing the hell out of them. I have to say that I was impressed and currently have one on order myself.

He released with hyzer and the disc didn't flip till it was about 200' into it's flight. It wasn't a force over, it flipped.

I threw my T-rex and its extremely accurate, it flipped right into the dumpster...

So I got out to throw my new 171g TeeRex this afternoon, and I really like it. It's not what I had expected it to be, but I like what it turned out to be. In my opinion, it's what the Wraith should have been. The number one complaint that I hear about the Wraith is that it flips too easily, and the TeeRex seems to fly about exactly the same as my Star Wraith, but doesn't flip as much. It kind of had a slight bit of tracking to the right, but it never really turned over. It's still fast as hades and predictable, but without a huge fade at the end. I was kinda hoping for a long Firebird-ish type disc and that's not what I got, but I think it's still a darn good disc. Haven't had a chance to throw it into the wind yet though, so who knows.

:D

It took all of 5 throws
Wraith=out of bag
Tee-rex=into bag

I have been wishing for a "Monster L" for a while now, maybe this will do the trick. I loved starfires for max distance then switched to wraiths but I am getting tired of both of them flipping over on me and never coming back. It is starting to cost me strokes and I pulled a heavy venom out in the last tournament I played for just that reason!

fishman: if you need to pull out a venom maybe you are having mechanical problems?? Or you are beating the #$*&$! out of the discs..
IDK though as I dont' know how you throw or even who you are, but it's a possible suggestion.

-Scott Lewis

I wish I knew the answer, i throw a 175 star wraith and try pulling it through almost vertical so it hyzers upon release before it flips anhyzer and hopefully returns. I seem to put an enormous amount of spin on a disc and can throw 400-425. the venom proved well for me even though I had never used one before, although I cannot get the max distance shot consistently. The monster is the same way but I need more glide sometimes.

when a disc goes right on me and it is more of a gradual drift to the right not an arc anhyzer and does not return to the left after flying 400+ feet what is going on?

sorry for the thread drift

Testing this weekend.

Teerex. Tested great. Just like they said. Wraith speed, glide, more stability. It does have a litte bit of high speed turn (should probably be 0.5 not 0) so it is probably not the best extreme headwind disc but should be good for moderate winds (at least better than the wraith) but don't expect monster stability. I threw it in some wind and it worked well when I threw it well. When I threw a bad shot that got too turned over in a headwind it wasnt going to correct for that but, good if thrown well. If you need a disc to correct for bad shots in a headwind, stick to a monster or firebird. This disc did exactly what I hoped it would.

I seem to put an enormous amount of spin on a disc and can throw 400-425.



Spin doesn't make a disc flip. Sounds like you are throwing hard with not enough spin.

Spin helps keep a disc going the same direction.

I just tested out a couple 171g discs. When comparing it to a CFR Wraith, I thought they flew pretty similar. I did notice that the TeeRex fights the wind a little stronger then the Wraith. Once the Wraith turned, it wouldn't come back, but the TeeRex would pull out of the turn and finish harder then the Wraith. I think the TeeRex will work the Wraith out of my bag, but is definatly not a replacement for my Pred/Tsunami combo.

Now that I'm back to work and can see what kind of banter and slander has been going on, I'm happy to respond.
You're an idiot. I won't even quote because I actually lost intelligence finishing your posts, gw.
If you'll reread what you wrote, there was no comparisons between the flights of your disc of choice and a teerex that you didn't even throw.

If your friend flipped his so easily, maybe I am doing something wrong when I threw my new TeeRex yesterday. Lets do some math though: I throw an orc about 450 ft and a wraith about 475 and a more overstable disc is flipping out for your buddy...so it must for you and everyone else....I must be throwing wrong.

So if I correct my throw with how, I don't know, 15 people have reviewed simularly, I'll probably get 600-650' out of this thing, right? I mean if HE is flipping one out like a valk (no points for quotation marks, here), then he should be, like, the world distance champ with the predator, or were we exagerating...or baiting?
I've highlighted some terms you may want to learn next time you want to review a disc (hopefully one you've actually tested.) Get to know them, that way you don't look like a donkey when you blast things you don't understand.
Thanks and good day.

My review of Innova's Teerex:
This disc made me want to go to the gym again. There is so much <font color="yellow"> distance</font> in this thing, it's amazing!
My 174 was huge, a little bit of <font color="yellow"> high speed turn </font> (75' of the first 150) but it locked into flat fairly quick and held for about 350'. The <font color="yellow"> low speed fade </font> was quick and it dropped quicky to the ground with more intensity than the wraith. It performed great into mild headwind (5-15mph) and was a fun forearm driver, resembling the firebird when I was first learning to sidarm.
I tried stationary, and it was too much disc new out-of-the-box. My wraith stationary is about 360' and I couldn't get the teerex shape I desired like the run-up wraith vs. the stationary wraith.
All in all, Thank you innova for giving me a stable/overstable driver that can handle headwind. I'm going to love this disc.

You may be right about going to the gym.

I feel I need to seriously work out , just to keep up with my plastic !!!!! :eek:

I would be stoked to throw 600+.

I felt like an novice AM again. Like the first time I found a firebird or a monster....or a ram for that matter.

This is going to be a great distance trainer. Rereading my thoughts on stationary, I don't know if I'll have the power to benefit from it until late summer/early fall. I'll need to hit a field....a very, very long field. :)

I hear you , out here , there are Am's out driving me by 100+ feet !!!!! :eek: I thought a 400+ foot drive was OK. I have seen some throw well over 500 + !!!! :eek:

Well , right now , I'm happy the disc's go where I throw them !!!! :D

I hear ya, anywhere on the fairway, however shorter it is...is better than 500'+ but 50' into the woods...or water...or road.

This teerex is going to break into a long, uh, very long teebird I can see.

I'm glad to see people that know how to throw posting about this disc. I found it very hard to believe that people were turning these over like valks. I mean what's next, a monster is magically understable now?

But monsters are understable... And don't even get me started on the speed demon! :) :)

-Scott Lewis

i have actually seen a speed demon that you could throw a 150' up shot with and it would flip.

EasyE...When you have power and snap, wraiths and tee-rexes are not overstable. They will flip very easily, which is why they are good distance discs-especially for hyzerflips.

Once the Wraith turned, it wouldn't come back, but the TeeRex would pull out of the turn and finish harder then the Wraith. I think the TeeRex will work the Wraith out of my bag, but is definatly not a replacement for my Pred/Tsunami combo.



Probably the most honest description. Same result for me...Sparkle Tsunami+Z Predator=Better score for me:D

I know that. I flip my Proline monster. But to tell me that it flipped like a Valk is just plain impossible unless you throw it wrong. I have thrown over 500 with an orc so I know what power and snap are.

I ain't hatin on you, but some people, a lot of people have more power than you think. I could throw a Valkyrie on a hyzer line 350'+, but I don't, because its not the right disc for my power and snap.

Should I get you a ruler to settle this contest? :D

click, click, back, back...Yeah, we need a ruler :D

i got one of the doubles t-rex's and it has replace dmy wraith right away. i am looking forward to getting one of the star stamped ones on soon to compare the 2. the doubles one i have feels more like pro plastic than star to me. anyone else noticed this?

Anyone notice anything on color if they fly different just got a bunch just wondering if some were more overstable.

I've always heard black ones are longer. :p

hiyoooo!!!

contest?

That's what I was trying to say. Anyone can turn a disc over. If you throw the way it's intended then that would be giving us a good medium to base the overstable/stable/understable arguement. I'm not hating on anyone but the people that are just posting to post and don't really have any info on the disc at all. Thus the turning over like a valk quote.

I have heard it is inbetween a Roadrunner and a Sidewinder, is this true? ;)

This thread is hilarious, nobody can tell what the hell this disc will do. :D

if it was it would be call the SIDERUNNER or The ROADWINDER :eek:

also Give or take the L for leopard bottom

not even close. i think it is a stable cfr wraith.

When I throw the Tee-Wrecks lefthanded, it flies like my Predator does when I throw it righthanded. The Tee-Wrecks is overstable.

This disc is way more stable than a wraith. I can throw my wraith with a little bit of hyser and it will flip up and turn a little bit. I throw about 425' in OHIO on flat ground. Today I threw a t-rex and I can without a doubt is more stable. This disc would not flip up for me when I threw it the same as my wraith. I haven't thrown this disc into a real headwind yet, but this disc is way more stable than any wraith I have ever thrown.

Try throwing it at the beach, right into the ocean.

:D

The posts on this disc keep me in a good mood while I am working. I threw the disc into a stong head wind with little snap and it hyzered. I am not sure about throwing with a strong snap and full power into the wind. It is more stable than the CFR Wraith. IMHO, it feels like a tsunami. Sadly, I threw my favorite one into the fountain last december. Keep the posts coming.

What up Jordan...Yeah, the TeeWrecks is way overstable. This disc bombs in headwinds.

:D

Why don't you throw the Z-avenger? I have thrown the teerex and it is more resistant to turn but its low speed fade is less then a wraith. This means it is hard to flip but if you do it will come out slowly but surely. I threw it along with my spirit and a Z avenger and they all went the same distance(10-20ft) with the avenger being the most predictable followed by the spirit.

Hope this helps.

Dude that totally helps. I'm gonna try throwing my Z Avenger today!

Dunno if many people posting have been revewing the TR as a side arm disc but heres mine.

First off the closest disc I can compare it to is the Extra only a helluva lot faster. By that I mean you really have to put alot of power behind it to get it to fly level or turn over. (Extras are huge fade only discs alot more so than a monster)

As For throwing the TR, if I put full power into it throwing it level...into the wind it'll turn over...and hold the turn for a looong time. if I throw it with a lil hyzer it'll lvl for a little bit then dump over.

I still get straighter throws with the monster but for throwing into the wind the TR does go the distance...just not straight.

I tried useing it on some of my left to right turns and it turned alot shorter than my other overstable disks (Monsters and Extras)

I guess I just have to get used to having to throw 100% when throwing this disk

I just threw a couple max weights. In tailwind better make sure to throw with a slight anheizer and not to high off the ground for max D. With a headwind which was about 15-20 mph I still had to turn it over right away to get it not to hyzer out and got great D with it more than with a tailwind. I could probably throw a Wraith a little farther but with a little beatness to the STR I could see going farther Definetely more overstable than wraith.

-happy Gilmore voice- You can throw a TeeRex, Avenger, and Spirit 10-20 feet?!?!? That's awesome! -/Happy Gilmore Voice-

-scoot_er voice- <font color="blue"> NO!!! </font>
-/scoot_er voice-

I meant within 10-20ft. :D:D

I was throwing three T-Rexes, two Champ Orcs, two Champ Beast Ls, and two Champ Starfires at the football field. Into the light wind the T-Rex was stable as were the Champ Starfires but the Beasts were flippy. The T-Rexes were finishing very overstable but they got a lot of straight flight in the middle. The T-Rexes finished more overstable than the Champ Starfires.

I think the T-Rex is what it is being billed as: a good driver for power throwers, a good headwind driver for lots of throwers.

Whats cracking Dave? You shoulda rolled up here with Gomez for Gentlemens club. I saw a shot of you on discgolf tv, nice shooting down there. I like my trex, but when I threw it today I started thinking of your comments. Couldnt't help but laugh.

Sup Sup Merriman.
T-rex is more stable then wraith but not as much as a predator. Pretty fast though. It seems ok but I am still messing around with it. I hit a wall and a few trees and it lost its initial stablity. Jury is still out on this one ..
My ave drive is 350' with some tailwind I can prolly reach 385'.

This disc rocks!!!!!

More of a distance driver than an overstable driver in my opinion. It is a great disc for long hard hyzers, but I don't think that it is fair to compare it to the z-avenger and a spirit in head wind drives becasue its stability is not even close to those two drivers.

I should have rolled, next time I will. I went out yesterday and tried a potential new setting for hole 3 at EI, about 440+. Gwillim and Flash from Oregon were there, I threw my Tee-Wreckx-N-Effect about 313.78' but my Surge was parked. I could see the Tee-Wreckx-N-Effect definitely taking the place of my Surge. Why would you want to be parked when you can throw a crappy disc, and have more chances at upshots.

I agree, Gomez can throw way longer than what he is talking about. I am still sittin on the fence about the t-rex. Maybe I will give this predator you so cal boys are talking about a chance.

Papa and I both threw the t-rizzos in the sprinklers yesterday. Which brings me to my next question. Why the hell does Sunset Park water the course every afternoon? :mad:

Come out and play Pecolle tomorrow morning at 7:00, meet at hole 13.

It seems that SoCal boys are only capable of throwing predators really far, evey other disc is too stable for our noodly arms.

Hey Ryan , you Chef Aaron and Kevin have a great time at Huntington Beach !!!!! :D

I just was out poppin some 400 foot field goals with the t-rex, nice flight on these babies. Flies good into the wind.

So, what is better into the wind, T-Rex or Predator?

I really don't know, I'll have to go buy a predator to compare the two. I'll get back to you on that one.

You have never thrown a Predator? Wow. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Predator for sure.

Predator for sure.



Actually, I should have been more specific. Obviously a Z-Predator will be more overstable than the T-Rex but what about an X-Predator?

I think the Z Predator is more predictable, but the TeeRex will go way futher.
Just my 2 cents

If you are looking for discraft vs the Teerex I would say a Z Avenger. The tsunami is also pretty good. One thing I have noticed is that the Teerex get to the point where it isn't overstable anymore fairly quickly. This is mainly because of the more convexed wing and the way the rim is bent when it hits trees compared to predators, Firebirds, Spirits, or any othe overstable discs with concaved wings.

I think the Z Predator is more predictable, but the TeeRex will go way futher.
Just my 2 cents



That is weird because other than the Wraith, the Predator is my longest driver. It is only 15-20' behind the Wraith. My Z-Pred is really beat up though. A brand new one would be hard to throw far.

I find that the T-Rex can go farther, but not way further and its definitely more difficult to throw.

so I would have to beat up a Z predator to see how it can fly compared to a t-rex or a wraith. I will compare it to an Avenger to once I get to the course or a field next. (I will throw it into some trees to beat it up, or maybe a parking lot a few times.)

Z-preds take a while to beat up. Try an X-Pred.

The T-Rex flys far.

Maybe they should create the Super Predator.

Flatter with the same stability.

Actually it is better for an overstable disc to have some dome to it.

Unless I have a really flippy Z-Avenger, the T-Rex is way more overstable. The T-Rexes I've thrown were very Flick-like.

Ever Z avenger I have thrown has been more overstable then the two Rexes I tried at World dubs.

The two different Avengers I have thrown , do fly differently.

The Elite X flys alot flatter than the Z version.

I hear possible talk of maybe a Champion T-Rex , before the years out !!!! :eek:
I'm still having a blast with my Dx Wraith !!!!!! Still stable.

I did get a hole in one on a course in Los Angles this weekend with my Star Wraith. 357 feet. Slight flex shot , slammed the basket hard on the right front. Yea !!!!!!! Finally a hole in one with Star plastic !!!!! :D

i would agree that the avengers are more overstable than teerexes. out of the box, they felt slightly more overstable and faster than a new champion teebird to me. however, the teerex feels faster and a bit easier to throw on an anhyzer due to the wider rim.

I'm still throwing the Star Wraith. Works well for me.

Just picked up some of the second run Star T-Rex's this past weekend. Will give them a try later this week.

I still like my 11 time Climo Champion T-Bird.

I love my champ Tbird too, but it falls short on max D. I really like the new Champion Starfires, they are like longer, faster Tbirds. The T-rex has some potential, but I've only thrown it a few times. Seemed to fly the same as the Star Wraith, same speed and glide. It DID NOT hold up in a head or cross wind like a true overstable disc. Similar stability to a Firebird FL.

Mail came !!!!! Two brand new Star Firebirds !!!!!!

Gotta go throw them !!!!!

The dome on the Pred is the best part. Glide baby!

What Teerex are you people throwing? I throw a Proto, red, and Ive not flipped it for more than a few seconds, and have never come close to flipping it over. I was throwing it into 20-30 mph headwinds with no problem whatsoever.

red tee rex is more stable

Into a 20mph head wind, I threw a light green one, it bananna'd like a Leopard.

I also threw an pale orange one, it pulled a lot to the right (RHBH) but faded back to center.

I still want to try more.

Did your coach not say "throw with a little hyser"? J/K.

Agreed, as is all the red star plastic, IMO.

Sadly they were thrown with hyzer. Not as much as / but halfway between / and --.

I guess the Reds must really be all that then. I throw pretty far and have pretty good snap, but Ive not come close to flipping this thing. On a bad 2 finger on Hole 10 at Keirakes I flipped it over, but it still came back. It was a horrible throw and was my fault completely, but a Monster or Firebird would have never pulled out of it. IMO, these are a more workable Speed Demon, or a used Spirit. Like those discs, when it gets broke in it will trump all other distance drivers. ( Maybe not the Pro Wraith )

I have a Blue Proto Stamp & its overstable, Could all the protos be more overstable than the reg. run?

No, I also heard good things about the Blue Star. ( Mainly the midnight colors )

I have either Red or Blue for all my Star discs, and they feel better than all other colors i've felt.....

I think I have learned my snap from Joe Thacker :p so I can turn things that most people cannot. I throw almost everything with hyzer so it will flip flat and not turn over too much.

I will get my hands on a new T-Rex next weekend at our tournament, I will hold back a red 175g for myself and see how I like it.

i throw a yellow proto and would never put it in the same category as a firebird or monster in terms of stability. still a fun, slightly overstable disc, but i prefer the wraith at this point.

you should come out and throw mine today. I swear my TL is more beefy than this thing.

Nice post. What the hell are you talking about Mike?

I tried a clear one today, and it was as stable as an Extreme. I tried everything, I suck.

when i got my hands on a tee-rex i took my wraiths out of my bag. the tee-rex did me well on the hill at world dubs.

It is not that, I just turn things more then other people. I have a lot of snap on my drives.... don't know how I do it, but for me a brand new champion Beast is a turnover disc. I use that where most people use Valkries.

Not necessarily due to snap, but I also throw at higher speeds then most throwers. Which has it's advantages and disadvantages too. This may also have a huge factor in my ability to turn more discs.

There's no way you can flip a beast, those things are almost as stable as a leopard. You must have bad form to flip a valk too. Valks are my go to spike hyzer disc.

Sometimes you are so funny I forget to laugh.....oh wait nevermind. Your not funny, smart____! ;)

Chase, I am going to hold out a red one for myself next weekend for our tournament players packs. Advantages to being the TD. :D

I have 10 of them in Proto, and 3 Blue Protos.

Advantage of owning and operating a freestanding Disc Golf Pro Shop.

Advantage ME. :D

I have been throwing my red proto as my new sidearm disc. I have been using FX firebirds for 5 years and LOVE the TEEREX. It is every bit as stable if not more overstable than my fx firebirds. Even moreso than a brand new FX. They go a LONG WAY also. I am consistently throwing my teerex 45 feet farther than my FX's.

Hole 9 at Hobson up the hill to the parking lot, I threw my teerex into the parking lot!!!! I have never thrown a disc that far uphill in my life. I LOVE IT

Though it is a lot more touchy than an FX. If you dont get the angle right, I have found the disc to just dive into the ground early. pretty wierd. But when you get it right.........IT JUST GOES.

A GREAT SIDEARM DISC.

anyone know where i can get a proto in red??

I have one on Ebay right now. 172g.

has anyone tried the light blue Proto's? I ordered 5 from ZD, requested Blue or Red and ended up w/ all Baby blue :(

I just purchased a New Tee-Rex. This is the second run version. I have to throw with Flex and it go's !!!!!! ( Anhyzer Flex )

To me , it seems to be even more stable than the first run star version , which is closer to a overstable Star Wraith.

Just so you guys know, it's not a second run, all of the TeeRexes are from the same run. A small amount of them were stamped with the Star stamp. Wouldn't want people to confuse them as first and second runs, when they are a first run stamp and a regular stamp.

So do they plan to adjust the stamp for the future runs? If not, come back in like 3 years and remind people of that. The Protos will be remembered, not the regular stamps.

Interesting. The original star stamp I have is much flatter than the production run stamped disc , which has more dome.

Maybe the humidity that day was cooler when the production runs were made.

I finally got my Red 175g Tee Rex.

Not too bad.

I threw it with ever the slightest hyzer and it quickly flipped up and held flat for about 375ft and then faded off finishing around 410-415. I will have to wait until the winds pick up, as this throw was in a 5 mph tail wind.

well....20mph winds yesterday. The teerex is no firebird. It's in my bag...fighting to replace the orc though.

BTW...of the 5 or so I have....only one if different. I have 175 that is much domier than the others.

2high,
I have taken the orc out of my bag in favor of the teerex, wraith, starfire combo.
I found the orc to be too touch as far as nose angle sensitivity...the teerex will hold the lines that you worry your orc will hold. The wraith is a great direct replacement for the orc as far as shape of the shot and the starfire is a great point and shoot disc...something the orc never was.
I also am thowing all three stationary with consistency and accuracy. Just me opinion.

15 to 20 mph thrown in direct headwind and left to right cross headwind....

yellow VERY FLIPPY!!!

purple, red, orange, blue, NOT flippy

several throws thrown with and without hyzer angle

The black one's are very stable!

is that the majority of what was given out in players packs this year???

finally got to really test out my Rex this weekend at Inland Greens in Wilmington. Wow. Inland has 4 holes that are over 450 feet. Hole 3 is 485, first drive out of the car, I threw my wraith pin high. whoa. hole 10 is 420, I was 45 pas the basket into a headwind with the Rex, dang. 4 holes later is a 490 foot lefty hyzer I got pin high straight. Next hole is 500, I was 10 feet short (but on the green), craziness. hole 18 is about 485, over water, over OB green, had a 30 foot putt. Made it. I came out thinking I was going to practice my rollers. I threw 2. There's only one hole that I couldn't really reach, and it was 535 and always had a headwind, I still way outdrove the ball golfers, landing just short of their green.

Today I played with a couple ball golfers, who hadn't really seen disc golfers, and I think they were blown away. I was just crushing drives, accurately, skip shots, headwind shots, all sorts of stuff. Hole 15, which is about 500 and the basket is just parallel to the pin, I took my first penalty for landing on a green. I had a tailwind and threw a line drive Wraith straight to the pin, 10 feet from the flag. had the green not been wet, bald and sandy, I might have skipped off the other side.

These wraiths and teerexes, man, they just add another element to the game when you play holes like that. There's not a lot of chances where you get to throw 450+ a lot on a course. Needless to say, this TeeRex is staying in the bag.

It was one of those revelation weekends. My driving was on. I was putting decent, but my long drives were crazy. If you are ever in Wilmington, you gotta go play this course. It's wraith and teerex heaven.

Matt...Thanks for the nice comments about IG. Clay said he had a good time playing with you. Hopefully Pat Farrell will step up and organize an event there this year.

Heck yeah, he better. I will definitely come if there is no conflict. Love that course. Enjoyed playing with Clay.

Matt- what kind of hills were you throwing down? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It's the beach. There are no hills. looks like those distances may be a little long, from Google Maps. But they seem to be all around 465 or so.

Still, pretty sweet course if you ever get to play it.

Peck, did you beat the course record -10

-duBBs

nah, shot a 49 tho. Couple goofs on the front and a couple goofs on the back hurt me a lot.

T-Rex and Wraith are too much disc for 99% of current disc golf shots I throw. I am jealous of those who get to actually use these discs on the course, because in the Kalamazoo area there are few holes long enough and open enough to hurl those juggernauts!

That is why we come up with creative routes over trees. Our longest open area is only 400ft. Kind of a bummer when you can throw fairway drivers that far. :p I really liked Idlewild in Kentucky. #15, Tee shot - Throw Wraith as far as it can go. Second throw - Throw Wraith as far as it can go. Third shot, putter up to the green being careful not to go in the creek, putt. Man I loved that course. And it loved me 75 times right back. :mad:

Yo Kris, the way you throw I could see you bombing a trex over 500...has the t-rex replaced your star wraith yet?

I'm throwing a Neon Pink 172 gram Star Tee-Rex and it holds a nice flat hyzer line. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Nope not replaced, just complimented.

I now use the Tee Rex for +400ft holes if I have any wind from left-to-right or head wind. I use the CFR Wraith for +400ft holes if I have tailwinds or right-to-left winds. I still carry the Beast and the Avenger for when I don't feel like throwing as far. I use the Beast like the Wraith and the Avenger like the Tee Rex. I just don't like "arming down" on the tee box and just throw hard and let the disc do the work.

The Tee Rex is the only high speed driver that I have found that is as reliable as the TeeBird. Man what a wonderful disc, I have not thrown it 500 yet, I think the farthest so far is 425, but at the same time I have not tried throwing it that far like I do with the Wraith, usually with an adverse wind I will accept the decrease in distance as long as I stay accurate.

Never said I was good.....Just can throw really far. :eek:

Takes some time...........no worries though...............don't give up on yourself..................just keep hammering those drives !!!! :D

Naw, I am just wallowing in self pity from a bad weekend of disc golf. The good thing is that my bad rounds are getting better. I guess that is a glimmer of hope. ;)

Does anyone else have problems with the lighter colored Tee Rexes flipping over? I have only seen the reds and blues stay stable and not flip.

I've got a first run "flesh colored" rex with the proto stamp. It's getting a hair flippy.....but that's from hitting trees from 460 feet! :eek:

My orange 175 Star T-Rex flips in any cross/headwind, even when thrown with hyzer. I have a yellow one that does not flip as easy, but it also is really flat and has poor glide. What is up with the slick Star Wraiths and T-Rexes? My other star discs feel really good, but the Wraiths I've had and especially my T-Rexes are really slick and even have a little "zipper" effect on the top of the discs. My CFR Wraiths are the grippiest of the bunch, and they are Champion plastic. I'm still just having fun with all these discs. I don't find any of them to be nearly as predictable as my Star Teebird, which I absolutely love. I also am also loving the various Starfires and find them much more reliable for golf distance than the Wraiths/T-Rexes. 430' with a Starfire is pretty much all the "D" that I need. I throw the Star SL and Champion SF for straight and straight/hyzer finish drives 400'+, and my Star SF for wind or when I need more fade. The Star SF is the disc that I would call as realiable as a Teebird, but faster and longer. Mine is red max weight.

My Red Proto is still beefy.....Moo.

My new Star Starfire is overstable. White at 174 grams.

Try the SS. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

At first I thought this was a great overstable driver that would be longer than my Preds into the wind and may make some long hyzer holes easier to birdie. It is really inconsistant for me, though. It flipped 3 times today into a moderate headwind. That may just be because I have not learned it yet.

I will keep trying it.

They are way inconsistent from color to color. I bought both an orange and a yellow 175g and they both were flippy for me, especially in any windy situations. I finally got ahold of a nice red one and it is money. Great stability and easy to throw like an Orc or a Starfire and get performance. I hope Innova gets it straight the next run of Star Wraiths and TeeRexes because there are a lot of overstable Wraiths and understable TeeRexes.

I have a blue one and I wouldn't say it is flippy but it isn't really overstable by any means.

We just got some custom stamped Teerexs, so I retired my Red Proto. Im glad I did, as Im now throwing a mixed pink and its a sweet disc, alot more stable. Its not just a straight hyser disc like my proto. Im liking it alot, especially for skips and thumbers.

2 Yellow Max Wts.
They are great for 400 + feet
Into winds 10 to 40 mph.
Lighter winds throw an anny and it will hold and flex back
Heavier winds just throw it flat and it holds
with a little flex in higher winds 25 + obviously
Mine are just fine.
And BTW...
I still think alot of this depends on
how fast each individual player spins his shot...
Just my 2 cents.
D.P. :D

Dark blue 171- Firebird-like overstableness
Swirly light blue 172- Sweetly straight, no flip, no fade (lost!)
White 175- High speed under, low speed over.
Red 174- Sweetly straight, a bit low speed over

So, no conclusions.

I have an orange 172 that is firebird overstable. Held up great in 30 MPH gusts yesterday always came back.

I am looking for a handful or two of 150-class DX TeeRexes (any color and/or stamp). Any TDs out there have 'em yet? PM me if so. :D

You also may want to try the Dx Wraith. It's fast and stable.
I have thrown the 150gram Dx Beast and it goes far too !!!!

Is that the Beast retool - Beast-L - or oldschool DX Beasts in 150g'er??

I find it very hard to believe any Tee Rex is Firebird overstable. I was retrieving errant discs at the Capital of Texas Open on hole 9 at Pease Park in Austin, TX. The hole has a cliff that runs along the right hand side and I would guess that there was maybe a 20mph headwind from the teebox this weekend. Tee Rexes and Wraiths were by far the most popular discs thrown over the edge. Righthanders were flipping both over in that wind.

I only saw one Firebird come down to me and it was a beat CE FL.

I carry 150 Wraith in the bag & use it for calm & tailwind crushes. However, it's too flippy for any significant headwind. I love the feel of it in my ridiculously large hand, though, and am looking for its more overstable cousin.

I got a red tee rex from schweb this weekend and parked a 460 foot hyzer on my second throw with it. it was beefy and i think it may get in my bag for extremely long hyzers. It also had good performance into a headwind.

My pinky teerex is in the bag for the first time. Anyone know how they will perform??
My proto flesh colored teerex is now a wraith with more low speed fade... :confused:

Neon Pink Tee-Rex at 172 grams is in my bag.
Throw it hard with a bit of hyzer and it's gone !!!!!! :D

Tried it again today and I am not too impressed. I think I will just throw a Wraith with lots of hyzer. :)

i thought the TEEREX was the awnser to all my problems
i wanted a WRAITH (main distance disc)
that flew more like my TEEBIRDS (main drivers)

but what i got was a disc that was too overstable at first... then just right for about 30 throws... then it flips like a valk even on extreme hyser like ---> /
and rolls...

sad little orange disc... i hope they improve that plastic or mold or whatevers wrong with it...

My orange TeeRex got really flippy fast as well. I have a red one now and it is sweet. I like my Star Wraith better though, so I'm saving my TeeRex for windy days or long, dramatic hyzers so it keeps its overstability. It really is just like a WraithX. In still conditions I get more consistent results throwing the Wraith with hyzer than the TeeRex flat. I can flip up my Wraith and get 400' in a straight line 5' off the ground. From 5' it barely fades at all when it finishes. This line is getting me to baskets with low ceilings that I would not be able to get with any other disc. Perfect 4 drivers for your bag: Star Teebird, Star Teebird L, Star Wraith, and Star TeeRex. There are not too many lines/driving distances that you would be missing with these 4 drivers. Throw a Champion Starfire in to fill the distance/speed gap between the Birds and the others and you'll be set.

Yeah I tested the rex again today and it sucks donkey balls. I am done with it. :(

I'm sorry, but the STAR plastic SUCKS!!!!!!!!! gets beat up too quick.

But for the TeeRex. I have a red proti 172 and it is every bit as stable as my CE Firebird FX's. It flies a bit straighter than the FX at high speed, but it is every bit as overstable if not more than my FX at the end of it's flight.

Whoever thinks these TeeRex's are understable, has no idea how to throw a disc. lol

seriously

But for the TeeRex, I throw them sidearm about 380 max and they seem to travel about 25 more feet than my firebird.

What do I know though..........Ive only been throwing frisbees for 23 years.

Whoever thinks these TeeRex's are understable, has no idea how to throw a disc. lol




I guess that was a joke. Because I throw a lot of understable plastic and I think that the Teerex isn't overstable at high speeds.

Your bag or my bag?

Different TRX's have different stabilities. I would say that many have completely different flight patterns. Some flip easy and come back hard, some flip easy and never come back. Some don't flip.

Yeah and what about the fact that a new Star TL isn't really understable. It is just a straight flier. I would have to have 1 disc less stable for rollers and anhyzers.

One of the guys who I play with all the time has two Teerexes in his bag which he bought at the same time. Both have been thrown an equal number of times and are both first runs. They are the same weight. The red one flips like a wraith but comes back hard right at the end and the blue on is really overstable. Thus color seems to matter.

and thus... im done with any company that has THAT much INNconsistancy between colors...

(crush and flash from 2 years ago and now this... )
thank god for gateway!

Not ripping gateway or anything but try to find two illusions that are the same. :eek:

Just trying to find two illusions is tough enough. :D

Yea, a company that is completely inconsistent within the same color is much better!!

I love my wizards, but... unless they were made in the same batch, no two feel the same. That seems to be the case for all the gateway I have thrown. Of course they are mostly so overstable it doesnt really matter.

Not ripping gateway or anything but try to find two illusions that are the same. :eek:


ive got about 4 that all fly the exact same... even after SMACKING the crap out them... the trees that is... huge bubbles in the dome and everything... they still fly the same...

so much more predictable than the TEEREX...


Just trying to find two illusions is tough enough. :D



not anymore... im a dealer! lol

maybe those discs are overstable for someone rated 882 lol jk jk, all my spirits fly the same, all my elements except the black ones the same, all my wizards the same, ive never had a problem with them being consistent except for that sweet bunch of milky white flat sabres.

I throw a Champion Beast for anhyzers and rollers. My red TeeRex is overstable.

Give Innova a break...No disc company is consistent, and Gateway is the worst of the big three in this respect. No knock on Gateway, they are just the newest and have run far fewer discs in their short history compared to Innova and Discraft. Star plastic is new and all Star discs are first run. I'm sure the kinks will be worked out in subsequent runs just like Champion plastic. The same is true for new molds. I'm pretty sure the TeeRex is supposed to be overstable (no turn, hard fade) so hopefully they will be that way in the future runs.

so much more predictable than the TEEREX...



So is a Firebird, but I can throw the TRX alot farther!

I'm sorry, but the STAR plastic SUCKS!!!!!!!!! gets beat up too quick.



Send it all to me at discount..... :D

I threw the T-Rex (max weight red) for the first time yesterday. It held a hyzer line great in a slight headwind and skipped a mile after it hit the ground. I also tested a star Starfire(max weight white). The SF was a bit more overstable but didn't go as far. I got some more testing to do. Right now I think I'll stick with my Orcs, Tbirds and Firebirds. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I was real impressed how well the TREX held an anhyzer line. And it is still real stable at the end of flight. But I really want one in C plastic. Some one told me they already did some, but I thought they(innova) was waiting. Has anyone actually seen a C TREX?

Nope.

I LOVE MY sTTar TT-Rex, it parked a 410 ft hyzer hole into a 10-15 mph headwind to win last weekend in a playoff. My 30th career sanctioned Win. Thank You Innova.

show off....Mullet :D:D

They made some Proto's in Champion Plastic, but i think there were only 13 total, & 3 in pro plastic....

My 175 blue flies like my wraith (w/ no wind), when thrown into 25 mph head wind!!! Definitely stayin in the Bag.....

every team champion pro got 2 in pro plastic with a double wraith stamp

every team champion pro got 2 in pro plastic with a double wraith stamp



Many INNOVA Team members that were at The Memorial in Phoenix received Star TeeRexes with the double Wraith stamp. No Pro or Champion TeeRexes have been produced in any quantity.

I replaced my wraith with the t-rex Its the best HEADWIND driver on the market I have thrown 425 acuratly in a HEADWIND

Yeah, I threw my red 175 TeeRex 400' in a headwind yesterday, over a gator pond. It landed on the shore, barely. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I have had my best and worst drives ever with this disc. Very unpredictable.

Sounds like the Indian, not the Arrow! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Play a tourney already faj!

For some reason I felt this way about both the Wraith and TeeRex at first. Now I throw them both consistently. Something about the shape of the rim and the way the disc felt in my hand was very strange at first. All it took was seeing other players in tournaments who I knew could not throw older discs as far as me catching up to me with these discs for me to realize I better keep up with technology or lose my edge...Now I'm bombing these babies further than I can throw anything else, especially on the lines that these discs respectfully cater to.

This disc needs to be more overstable like it was designed to be.

how much distance do you really gain over an Orc with these? i felt like the Wraith was slightly longer but a lot less controllable than my Orcs so i stayed with the Orc (plus i stocked up on Orcs and don't want to have to regret that :mad:) :D

do you think you'd be losing much if you were throwing Orcs instead?

For me the Starfire (x) is a good overstable distance & headwind driver. is the TeeRex really that much longer?

Nope and it is more prone to flipping over then the SF.

I had like 11 Orcs stockpiled as well :(, but unfortunately, yes then do go significantly further, especially when you get more comfortable with them. The Wraith is faster and glides more than the Orc, it just demands a hyzer release. It is better in the wind than an Orc, and it is also less nose angle sensitive so it is easier to keep the nose down longer. It has a faster low speed fade that ensures a good comeback after the nose down portion of its flight. It can also fly lower to the ground, safer from the wind that is more turbulent higher in the air. Hands down a better disc for pure, straight golf "D". Now the TeeRex, as mentioned earlier in the thread is very different depending on color. If you get an overstable one, it can do things that no other disc I've thrown can do, like going 400'+ in a 10-15 mph headwind on a pretty straight line, as well as flying 380' or so in a dead straight line before fading 50-60' perpedicularly while simultaneously going forward another 30-40'. That being said, the Starfire(x) is still my number 1 driver for a dependable 400' of straight D with a very predictable fade. Just rip it flat and watch it go. The Wraith and TeeRex do different and bigger things though.

Thanks for sharing your experience. i still resist it though (those stockpiled Orcs don't like hearing it) ;)

do others out there who throw used to throw Orcs agree? also, do you throw the Pro wraith, Champ Wraith, or Star Wraith? of the three, i think i found the Champ most to my liking with the little experimenting i did do. however i found the Wraith had a finer line than the Orc between flipping over too much or hyzering and stalling out too soon (although i didn't stay with it long). that's great info you've shared regarding what you've found. feel free to share more :D

also, what color TeeRex would you recommend and is that the Star version? :D
