Title: Five Discs You Gotta Have
Post by: Bruce Brakel on December 12, 2006, 07:48:06 PM
What are the five Innova discs you are really disappointed if the TD is out of, besides whatever is the Disc of the Moment?  I'm ordering Innova sometime shortly after Christmas for my ice bowl in Michigan.  But, I'll look at this thread to make sure I have those discs when I order Innova before 2007 IOS #1.

Wraith, Roc, Aviar, Firebird, and Stingray (maybe a toss up with Sidewinder)

But that's just my imho :)

Champ Firebird, Orc (champ or star), wraiths, Tee-Rex, could care less about anything else (don't throw rocs or aviars)

edit: Everything max weight

Bottom stamped Rocs, Star Gators, DX Rhynos, Star Vikings in the 165-170g range (if they've got 'em out by then or IOS #1)

Can't think of a 5th one either

If you are going to play left handed while you are laid off and broken, I'd recommend a 150 Sidewinder.  Post if you don't have one.  E-mail me your address.

I didn't see a difference between my z-express and the sidewinder.....would it really make a difference?
Title: Re: Five Discs You Gotta Have
Post by: Tom McManus on December 13, 2006, 01:02:55 PM
1. Max Weight DX Aviar
2. Champion Orc
3. Champion Sidewinder
4. Star Coyote
5. DX Aero/Stingray

Post by: Bruce Brakel on December 13, 2006, 01:04:13 PM
Not if you don't see a difference.  For learning to throw off-handed you have to throw more understable than what you'd throw with the go-to hand.

I don't leave home without:
1) Pro Wraith max weight
2) Pro line Firebird max weight
3) 1st run CE TL max weight
4) San Marino Roc 177g (big bird baby!!!)
5) 10x KC Pro Aviar 173g

1) Pro Wraith max weight
2) Pro line Firebird max weight - OOP
3) 1st run CE TL max weight - OOP
4) San Marino Roc 177g (big bird baby!!!) - OOP
5) 10x KC Pro Aviar 173g - OOP

I think Bruce is looking for ideas for an order to Innova, not all of the out-of-production discs you enjoy throwing. They are all sweet discs, but 4/5 are discs that you can't get from Innova in mass quantities.

Bruce, if you can find a couple of 175 Bulldogs I'll take them next spring. They're supposedly OOP, some online places still have them but I've got a stack of brass I need to unload so I can wait...

2) DX aviar

Damon, if you can find someone who has them for trade or sale we might work out a three-way deal.  They are out of production and out of stock.  Innova has more molds X plastic types than they casn produce right now, so they are only producing the fastest selling discs, which is too bad because there really is not another disc like the Bulldog. 

--------------------------------

The original question on the thread was five discs you are disappointed if the TD does not have, but I mistitled the thread.  I doubt if anyone is ever disappointed when the TD does not have stuff that has been out of production/out of stock for over a year. 

With Innova, if there is something you really like, you should get five of them, and then start stockpiling.  You never know when a perfectly good disc like the Beast is going to be pulled from production and replaced by some other disc with the same name or not replaced at all.

...unless you attach a 5 gram weight to a Hydra. Dunipace admitted it's essentially the same disc...

... so why he's continuing the Hydra, which most people seemed to laugh at, and discontinuing the Bulldog, which people were raving about, is another mystery of the business world I'll never get...

(Hey Mirth, http links don't format here like they used to. I wanted to highlight the sentence w/ Dunipace as a link to the webpage. What am I doing wrong?)

I've only been playing on and off since July of "06, and I've only just started throwing and selling Innova discs over the last 2 months,  but so far i'm impressed with the :

Star Wraith  - I seem to be able to throw it further that my Pulse and Surge
Star SL - I just love the flight line of this disc
Star Orc - I've not thrown the Orc too much yet, but the flight line it "should" take is nice

It's not 5, but what can you do.  I did just add the 2007 Pro Worlds Champion Wraith in my bag, and a Star Max.

Color wise I like the neon Green Innova uses, it almost glows in the dark.

What is a flat top Roc?  What kind of plastic is it made out of? 

I can probably make flat top Rocs if i know what Roc to start with!   ;D
Title: Re: Five Discs You Gotta Have
Post by: acedeucelefty on January 10, 2007, 08:47:36 AM
Flat top Rocs are usually DX Ching Rocs.  I'm pretty sure they are so much flatter than their domey dx counterparts due to the full color stamp that is applied.

I had someone looking for flat top star stingrays a couple of weeks ago.  All of mine have a domey look to it... not sure what he was looking for.  Some kind of magical disc?

No, a classic roc is a completely different mold from a dx roc.  Different diameter, different rim, different in every way.  They are talking about a DX Roc that has been flattened by the application of a Ching colormax stamp.  Diana might have one in her box of stuff she does not throw.  She used to throw almost all Ching.

I will "look around" and see if I have any flat top dx rocs.  If I look hot enough, i mean, hard enough, I'm sure i can find some.   >:D

I've seen the flat top Star Stingrays.  Diana has one of those she's not giving up but for big cash.  No matter how hot I look for those, I don't think I can find any.  Star plastic is less malleable than DX.

Aviar-X, Roc, Teebird, TeeRex, Pred

Five discs should be the five molds in your bag.
