Wasn't sure if it was better to ask this in the "New Innova Stuff" thread. Oh well.
It would seem that every newish piece of Innova plastic I've seen lately is no longer penned, but rather sports the name of the mold embossed in caps under the flight plate.
So, the what are the ramifications of this? Did they go and engrave all their top mold parts? Or did they have to order a bunch of new top parts? The latter option seems incredibly expensive, unless they're started to machine in-house.
Furthermore, we all know that run to run and mold to mold discs have changed wildly over the years. If they ordered a bunch of new top parts, how is this anticipated to impact the flight of the molds? I know for example when comparing a penned vs embossed thunderbird the other day, they looked like different top parts altogether (admittedly, the penned consisted of older, fairly stiff driver pro, whereas the embossed was the extremely tacky, flexy pro of late... the difference in shape and PLH could easily be explained by any number of things aside from a different/new top part.)
