Anyone tried it out yet? I am kind of curious.
The weird thing is it is not even on the innova website yet.

The rim is really unique. Prime discs has a good pic of the rim http://primediscs.com/proddetail.asp?prod=monarch-champion

The weird thing is it is not even on the innova website yet.That's nothing...back in the day we had Cheetahs for sale for 8 months before we ever got any promotional material from Innova that mentioned the disc. Waiting a couple of weeks for them to post info on the website is lightning quick compared to that!

I've thrown the Monarch about 15-20 times so far. Out of the box I like it's flight, you can throw it with a little hyzer & it will fly straight, flip flat & then it makes a nice high speed turn to the right. I think it's worth picking up.
Also being released this week from Innova is the Pro Pig & Discraft is releasing the Pro D Zone Limited Edition Putt & Approach & the Limited Edition Elite Z Sparkle Forces as a fundraiser for the Players Cup.

I have one on order, it sounds like a faster Roadrunner or Sidewinder.

[JogginJohn]

That is what I am hoping, I am a big fan of the sidewinder but something that goes a little faster would be nice.

[Pastime]

Well I just ordered a yellow 172g Monarch hopefully I'll like it.

Let me know how it works for you if you pick one up.

Hurry Olorin times a wasting!
You want to be the first guy out there that uses that putter and says:

"I nailed that like a stuck Pig!"
"Im riding the high Hog!"
"Time to get out the Pig sticker."
"Ooooh Weeee, Hog Heaven Baby!"
"Nothing better than a Pig-in-a-blanket 'cept a Pig-in-the-basket."
"Look at that Swine shine."
or as it lands in the basket -"That'll do Pig." (my personal favorite ;) )

Man that putter has unlimted verbage potenial!

Oh and don't forget to name it Harley or Wilber or Babe! :D

Too funny bro! :cool:

[Pastime]

I just got my monarch from DGCenter can't wait to see how it flies tomorrow. Seeing a new type of lip on a driver is kinda cool.

[Midnightbiker]

On the Monarch, the Speed is 10. Glide is 5. HSS is -4 and LSS is +1.

On the Roadrunner the Speed is 9. Glide is 5. HSS is -4 and LSS is +2

On the Sidewinder the Speed is 9. Glide is 5. HSs is -3 and LSS is +1

I hope that helps.

[DannyM]

Played around with the monarch and the pig this past w/e, went out to the soccer field, and right out of the box the monarch flew about 10-15 ft. further than my sidewinders and roadrunners<my straight go-to distance discs>....LOVE IT.
As for the Pig....I use rynos for forehand putts when I need to, so I played around with the pig as a putter....really like it as well, the bottom rim feels much better, doesn't have that "sharp" edge that new rynos have until they get slightly broken in. It is also supposed to be slightly more stable, which I didn't notice.
Overall very happy with both, so I had to re-vamp my bag and add both.

Monarch is 171g Champion
Pig is 171g pro

[JogginJohn]

I just ordered a champ Monarch yesterday and I am pretty excited about it. I like to hear that it is similar to the sidewinder.

[Marv Vega]

Went out and practiced my drives today and was impressed by the Monarch. A little faster and more stable (or just not as beat up) than my Champ Sidewinder. I sent a nice turnover about 350 with it, like the Sidewinder it needs a fair amount of room to operate.

[Texconsinite]

Question for those who've thrown it. How hard does the monarch fight to S back at the end compared to champ sidewinders & roadrunners? Does it actually come back, or just keep going and turn into a roller like its forefathers? Also, how does the glide compare?

I know what the innova ratings say, but on paper is very different than on the course.

Btw, JogginJohn, props for representing The Haute. I've got a brother at Rose Hulman.

I would say that the Monarch fights a little more to fade at the end than my Champ Sidewinder but if thrown flat with a fair amount of power both will turnover and not S back, I think Innova's right the Monarch's just a little faster. For distance I throw the Monarch like I throw the Sidewinder, with just a bit of hyzer and the flights look very much the same. The glide's are very similar, they both love the high ceiling S flights and really glide well toward the end of the flight.

[sidewinding]

I picked up a new 175 Monarch yestersay. It flies almost exactly as advertised. It seems to have more glide than a champion sidewinder, possibly due to the new fangled rim. The increased glide makes it appear to have more fade. There is no question that it has more speed.

At full power I was able to turn it over very easy and it would not come back. At full power, with the nose up a tiny bit, I almost aced a 335' hole with an S-turn. Keeping my eyes on the target and throwing level with about 80 - 90% power it flew straight with very little fade (perfect for those long narrow fairways), which is mostly what I will be using it for.

[Donovan]

So, I finally bought a Pro Pig and I did write this on the top of the disc.
"That'll do Pig."

[PhattD]

I've been throwing a Monarch along with my Valkyries. I get maybe 10-20' more out of it and it seems to be a little less stable.

[DannyM]

Update on my Pro pig.....I've been practicing more and more throwing forehand putts with it, before I was trying it with a ryno, because the "thumbtrac" on it just seemed to feel better, and rynos seemed more stable than any putters<for me anyway>. The pig beats it hands down! It is much more stable than the ryno, and has the thumbtrac. Been making about 80% of my forehand putts now, usually from 20+ feet out. Taco'd it pretty bad a few feeks ago, but laid it out under the sun for about 5 minutes, picked it up, and it was back to new. LOVING THIS DISC, in fact, now trying to see if Innova will be making this in PINK, if so...GOTTA have one.

Champ Monarch update - i played a 9hole course down a ski mountain this past weekend. Used the monarch a lot. Im LHBH and the Monarch was great for long downhill shots to the left. It stays in the anhyzer for a LONG TIME before fading out of it. Probably not the best driving disc on a mountain - It glides a lot - if it gets up in height - and starts to fade it's going in the woods and the woods on a ski slope are THICK. ON flat ground i get great distance just by throwing a hyzer - need a lot of room to consider an s curve - it stays in the highspeed turn for a while
