Apr 27 2008, 01:31 PM
Since very few of the non-X-outs are thrown, and the majority of these are bought for collector value, I don't see why a standard release would hurt sales. As long as the USDGC release was small enough to maintain the collector value.

From what I was told, they (Innova) have always made a few "thrower" rocs for the USDGC, but to get one you had to be the personal sex slave of Dave Dunipace or something! :DJ/k
No, but from what I understand they are uber-rare, and this years stamp is a "thrower" with his hand the way it is, not because he has just thrown, but because he is giving something back to us, the players.
Or I could have had too much of my medication again! ;)

I'm suprised everything is hush hush on here today considering that people were probably putting in orders last night on Zonedriven. Weird that no option was given for mold prefernce or plastic type only color/stamp/weight. Should be interesting to see how the partners liked the system that was implemented for folks who didn't want to wait for phone calls.

I think I would have preferred the phone call.

I would have preferred the call as well. I want a light weight thrower and it was hard to get that across with only pull down menus.
I understand Zonedrivens position. Sounds like they were being pestered pretty bad. I would probably throw up my hands, too. :p

They should go back to one mold, one plastic and one or two stamps, kinda like 2001 and 2002. I only wanted Champion or Star San Marinos! rWc3523

So how do the eco and champ sannies fly?
I didn't get any eco sannies, but I did get some CH. I've been throwing one since the middle of last week. New, it flies just like I would expect it to, overstable and with less fade than a CH Rancho. I'm replacing my CH Rancho with the Sannie right now to break it in. I think it's going to take awhile.
The CH San Marino is definitely more overstable and resists turnover more than the DX version. I like it, and it will be in my bag for sure.
dgdave
Jun 16 2008, 07:35 PM
Are they more stable than the 05 SBs? I picture them between the 05 SB and a Champ Rancho

You know, it's just too early to tell how the CH San Marino is going to fly compared to anything else because it's new.
New, I can say that I think your spot on with your guess. I threw SB Rocs when they were new, and they were much more overstable new than they became when broken in. I think when the CH Sannies get broken in they will fly as advertised. A little less high speed stable and less fade than the CH Rancho. My DX San Marinos are already doing this with weeks of break in time.

Just got done tossing a 180 champ sanny thrower. freakin sweet. lots of glide and it can be cranked on. not great for touch shots. if thrown lightly, it flies like a champ rancho. if you lay into it, it goes! it flies like a sanny. dead straight at high speeds and a soft gentle hyzer finish.i normally toss 11x KCs. I get about 320-330 solid d on them. i was throwing this sanny in the 340-350 range. i have some more champs and ecos coming today. I cant wait to get my hands the golden ticket!
