STAR Plastic

[CEValkyrie]

Most excellent! I was wondering where that was.

i got a star SL, Stingray, and TeeBird today and they are really nice.  i threw my stingray right into a tree and when i picked it up i couldn't find a single mark.

i really want to buy some new star discs, but i'm in the process of building a new driving style, and i'm afraid that if i switch to a new disc it'll just be hard for me to figure out what i'm doing compared to what the disc is doing.  advice?

hey Blaine:

It's tempting (and fun) to try out lots of new plastic, but resist that temptation. Stick to a very few discs until you feel comfortable with throwing each one of them in a variety of styles.

I've got about 10 times the number of discs I really need and I can't throw any of them.  

[K-Biscuit]

alright, thanks for the advice damon

I like trying all of the new discs, but do not try them for the first time on the course.  Go to an open field, or high school football field which I like to do and just throw the disc with nothing in the way to get a good feeling of its flight path.  The new star plastic is great in my opinion, it has a great grip and good shot to shot consistancy which some older dx discs do not.

Star Aviars and Valkyries, and DX Wraiths came out today.  Should be able to buy them soon.

That's great!  I was wondering how long it would be before they made star Valks.

All of these discs are up on Zonedriven today.

I'm dye testing a couple of Star discs right now.  I'm pretty sure the plastic dyes great.  I'll post pics tomorrow if they look good.  These will be Star Stars using a star pattern similar to the Innova Champion Star, but not so similar I have to pay royalties! 

[Bruce Brakel]

These are a Star T-Bird and a Star Starfire L.

[Bruce Brakel]

The color on these is better than what shows on my monitor at home.  I'll have to look at them at work.  The Star plastic dyes a lot like X or exactly one of the several kinds of plastic called Pro Line.

Was just looking at Innova's website & the most recent product update states that the Star Firebird, Star Starfire, and Star FL were coming soon. Anyone know what the FL is? Would that possibly be a Firebird "L"? Just wondering. I can't wait for Innova to release the Star Firebird!

Yes, the Star FL is the Firebird-L (just like the Star TL is the TeeBird-L).  Supposedly the Pro Firebird is the same disc as the Star FL.  The FireBird-L fades less (+4 instead of +5).  The Star Firebird (regular Firebird) comes out tomorrow (3/31).

I guess the Star Starfire is going to be different than the Star SL too.  These almost seem like "niche" discs where you don't quite want the Firebird because it fades too much so you want a little bit less and get the FL instead.  I think I'd rather see entirely new designs

[Mukey]

Woo Hoo! What a birthday present from Innova! I can't wait to get my hands on a few and the "L" version.

I finally gave in to the new disc hype and put a Star Wraith in my bag.  I havent been getting the snap on my drives this year that I was last summer, so I havent been getting my orcs to turn over as much as I'd like with a flat release.  The fact that my shoulder is ruined but I keep playing anyways probably doesnt help.  I threw a whole bunch of drivers last night-

Champ Orc, SB Orc, DX Beast, Pro Wraith, CFR Wraith, Champ Valkyrie all went pretty much the exact same distance...

Star Wraith was consistently 30-40 feet further with no loss in consistency.  Huh.

[stpitner]

I really like the Star Wraith even though I don't throw for the greatest distance.  It of course fades a lot for me, but it does a beautiful job.  It definitely outdistances everything else, but that's what it is designed to do.

I picked up a Star Tee-Rex and I love it!!  King of Darts on Barrington Rd. is right down from my house and they have a REALLY REALLY, good selection 9the best I have seen around here) of discs from Innova, Discraft, and Lightning.  He had Star everything as well as champion and pro everything!!! Great local dealer!

[stpitner]

you mean I drive right by that place all the time and I didn't even know about it?!? aww man! lol haha  I'll have to check it out!  I go to Sam's Club that is just a couple blocks south all the time.
