    [Innova] The mythical Innova ROC

    This is what the marketing material says, but not my experience when I tried XT Rocs. In my experience they warped on tree hits much easier/faster than DX and beat in differently. They ended up with some flip much sooner than DX but also maintained fade. I feel like a beat in DX will flip up and...

    [Innova] Spider is the straightest disc Ive ever thrown

    The first disc I ever aced with was a Star Spider. 200 feet, dead straight right into the chains. And that wasn't the only ace that disc got. I should dig it out of the bin and throw it again.

    [Innova] Polecat

    Just ordered a few of these to try out: https://proshop.innovadiscs.com/2023-masters-worlds-nexus-polecat/ I've actually never tried Nexus plastic, but hoping it will work well for the kitties.

    [Innova] The mythical Innova ROC

    My experience is that lighter weight Rocs do tend to flip up a little bit like a beat in Roc would do, but they also tend to fade more than a beat in Roc does. For that super straight finish, it's hard to top a beat in Roc. Fortunately, used Rocs are fairly plentiful if you need a replacement...

    [Innova] DESTROYER destroyers unite!!

    I second this, and will add that it's been happening since forever. I had some old S/DS marked F2's back in the day with Blizzard rims (before Blizzard even existed). And those were super beefy, so it doesn't necessarily mean they will be flippy either.

    [Other] Tosy Discs - New Brand

    They're literally an entire year late on the estimated shipping date in their campaign? That doesn't bode well to me, but what do I know. I feel like the venture capitalists in 2020 and 2021 were giving out $100M checks like candy to any startup that could show some sort of large, addressable...

    [Other] The Reptilian Disc Golf Thread

    Hmmm, it's not the same DX plastic blend as the Thunderbirds unless there was more than 1 run of these glow RDG Rocs. I've got a glow RDG Roc out in the garage and a whole stack of those original DX Thunderbirds, and I don't think they are the same blend. I just went out to feel them up to...

    [Prodigy] Prodigy Fx-3

    You're saying the same thing. They said Prodigy does have the problems "sorted out."

    [Millennium] Millennium Scorpius

    Man I haven't thrown a Scorp in so long but this thread is making me want to throw them again (and buy some more runs to try). My stack of first runs in the garage is calling my name, but it's so rainy outside right now. PNW fall is definitely in full swing lol.

    There are a lot of good runs of Roc out there. I agree on the grip. I have dry hands as well (until it gets to be this time of year and the rain won't stop and then my hands are constantly wet lol).

    [Prodigy] Prodigy Fx-3

    If anything can put the FX-2 and FX-3 on the map, it's Isaac Robinson. The way that guy was carving up lines with those in the woods this season was unreal. His putter and mid shots were things of beauty as well. Maybe one of the best woods players on tour right now.

    [Innova] The mythical Innova ROC

    I got a Philo DX color glow tour series Roc. Nice, mild dome (not pop top) and the plastic feels like a really nice blend, stiff and a little tacky like it has a little Pro in it. I dig it.

    [Innova] For the love of the Bird! ..Teebird that is!

    Unless they've changed since I last tried them, you probably won't be disappointed. My experience with GStar Teebirds was exactly that. Maybe just slightly more stable than a TL out of the box but breaks into that sort of flight very quickly.

    [Innova] DESTROYER destroyers unite!!

    I picked up 3: a red, a pink (looks just like yours), and a blue. Comparing them side by side, the pink has the highest, most concave wing so I expect that's the most overstable. The blue is in the middle, and the red looks like a bomber. I might throw the red. I'm partial to red drivers and...
