New Speed 13 disc from Innova

[stpitner]

Ok, I think Innova has officially run out of names for a disc, and it's going to take a mega-arm to be able to throw this thing... maybe it's specifically made for Kallstrom lol.

But the name... The Boss.  What kind of name for a disc is that?  If they make it in DX, what kind of hot stamp would THAT be?  Too bad there's a trademark on images from Dilbert or else I'd be submitting a hot stamp design with the pointy haired boss on it to go right on the disc!

or a likeness of Springsteen...

Definately a cigar in mouth, something like Jonah Jameson.

Since I really shouldn't be throwing anything much faster than a Gazelle, I think I will take a pass.  Maybe if they make a Little Steve which would also be known as the Silvio..

I think tony danza should be on the disc.  I bet he'd be all for continuing his career even if it is on a disc.

in honor of all the disc golf courses in Chicago.....

I can just hear them at Innova East: "Guys we gotta get Bruce's order out the door so we can announce the release of a new disc!"

LOL... The Boss

You would think they would be able to think of a more creative name then that.  I could think of at least 100 names for discs that are more creative and could be used that are not in use yet. 

[El Mexicano]

Enlighten us.

[stpitner]

it stops at Hook #3 right, so Hook #4 - Hook #103 are all available

[4u2nv]

Enlighten us.

When Innova or Discraft decides to do a Name the new Disc contest I will be more then happy to Until then I will save all 100+

Innova's most recent names for discs (by approval date from PDGA) since 1/1/07:

The Boss (it's approved on the PDGA as just "Boss")
Monarch
Pulsar (guess they found another one that has been out for a while that wasn't on the approved list )
Pig
XCaliber
Sonic
Destroyer
Gremlin (this one was a really old one, right?)
Kite

The only one I like out of that list is Destroyer... MAYBE Sonic, but Sonic should have been a driver name, not a putter.

I like the name and when did they say the release will be?

I agree the Sonic should have been a driver name.  I did like the PIG though it seem appropriate for the disc.  Although the pig seems a lot like a zone

Did you guys read this on the PDGA forum. I guess the 1st run Boss is flying more Destroyer like, instead of XCaliber like.

The XCal did take the place of the TeeRex for me, and the test shot Boss's would have taken the place of the XC, but there might be a change. We just started running the Boss and it seems a little different from the test run. This kind of thing happens as the test run is short and the mold might never reach homeostasis. At any rate, we will know after this weekend of testing. As it stands now, the current run of the Boss seems to be more Destroyer like than XCaliber like. They also seem to be going farther than the test run Boss too. This might be somewhat related to weight as the 175s seem a little more stable than the 171s.

From what I understand, the wing is going to be wider than the XCaliber.

Looks like they released an image of the disc... and you're right!

[tacimala]

I snagged a few of the CFR Boss' from DGV yesterday, so we'll see how they feel.

Please do!  I really want to give this disc a toss.
