So , just drove 5 hrs to the nearest acerace . Set up camp,
went into town for lunch to find out that it's been cancelled
due to discs haven't made it across the border .
Choked , and TD trying to play karma that MY NAME is on
the package and he'll be stuck with discs !
Fuel and 2 days camping on my credit card !
Yeah , I won't be back in 3 weeks , too bad .
Totally stoked on the event , dragged 1buddy with me and
glad I didn't have a whole posse with me .
Feel like a fool for wasting the last weekend of
summer NOT with my family.

That sucks!
Just played our local Ace race earlier today. I really liked the disc and hope that this one goes into production. Our longest hole was about 282ft dead straight. I over threw the hole by about 30 feet twice with this disc flying on a frozen rope. I had some trouble using this disc on the shorter, 120-150 ft holes, but I think any driver would be hard to throw on those distances.
I could see a use for a shorter driver like this. Especially on some low ceiling shots. As others have stated, the glide on this disc is fantastic. This could probably be the driver I would recommend to beginners in the future.
Good job Discraft :thmbup:

why for a beginner? because its not a high speed thick rimmed driver:wall:
Its a finesse driver and you have to be experienced to have finesse!!duh

Wait, are you saying that a beginner should not be given finesse discs, and instead throw stuff they should just chuck as hard as they can? This sounds like a great beginner disc!

it is a good disc for beginners and advanced. beginners can use it for a driver and adv, can use it for long midrange,

Finally went to the Ace Race, and got to test this thing out. It is a long straight midrange with good glide, and a healthy fade. I hit my only metal of the day on a nice S curve back to clang off the rim of the basket. SO close.
If I had to give it Innova's numbers, I'd say it's a 6, 5, -1, 1.5. The best way I can personally describe it based on what I've thrown is a little more overstable Panther.

The half-way between a Buzzz and a Stalker claim is born out in this photo
half-way in color, rim thickness, and bead size.
It is way closer to a Stalker in profile though:

(focus fail oops)
It flies like a shorter less stable Stalker for me (BH and FH) in the 175g and 177g models I got at our ace race. I'd be interested to try it in a lighter weight, but for now it probably won't push the slightly beat 170g Stalker out of my bag.

Because Discraft described it as in between a Stalker and a Buzzz.

It's a slightly understable fairway driver with a good amount of glide. Not the best choice for in a headwind. However, thrown with a little hyzer with a headwind, it should be pretty easy to get the thing out to 400'. Kind of a longer Meteor or Comet. The closest Innova disc I can compare it to is a Leopard, but I think the Ace Race disc could be thrown farther.

Ace Race tomorrow. Im looking forward to getting my hands on a couple of these and just having a good time. I had been a little burnt out, played minimally over the summer (which is just feeling like ending here) and haven't even been on here in 3 and a half months. I'm thinking this will be wonderful.
