[Innova] Hawg

[sumo21]

Name it something other than names that are already taken or anything that is close. Pig-Hawg. Innova should have a contest naming their discs. They tell us what it is and we submit entries to name it. Winner to get 5X of that new disc. Something other than what they're going through now. Roc-Roc+,Roc3,VRoc. What happened to the Roc2? Would that be the Roc+?

Calling it. OS speed 1 disc.

Yeah, same diameter as a Pig, but shallower with a narrower rim and very blunt, so almost lid-like possibly. I think the super wide rim is one of the defining features of the Pig that gives it the feel it has for driving (and also what makes it truly a mid, not a putter). Being shallower with a narrower rim and much blunter, I doubt this disc is going to replace the Pig. Even if it did, I think the Innova Factory store would probably continue selling their stiff pro Pigs, which are the only Pigs I buy anyway.

If you're looking for similar discs, the Harp, Zone, and VP all actually have similar rim configs (around 65, so not quite as high as this but much higher than the Pig). The Zone also matches the depth and rim thickness exactly. So this could also be a premium plastic driving putter to rival the most OS putters on the market (more OS than a Pig and with more skip).

Is the Pig really a midrange though? I always thought it was slow and super beefy more putter range, maybe cause it didn't go far for me is why I considered it more putter then mid.

I do agree though, this disc can and should coexist with a Pig. I don't see the Rhyno or Gator going anywhere due to their popularity.

It looks like it could be super overstable Rhyno, same depth, blunter nose, wider wing. It all depends on the profile though. Just pure guesses right now on how it will fly.

Well Innova calls the Pig a putter. But it has a 1.4 cm rim and hence should be a 4 speed disc by Innova's scale which is a mid. If you've ever beaten a Pig in for a while they lose the hard fade and develop some very nice glide which makes them compete for a lot of mid shots. That's why I call the Pig a mid.

Time to turn the Hawg loose.

I don't care how it flies; I'll learn to throw it.

 

[shroom]

I can say I like the name Hawg much better than the Whale

 

[fasteddie]

I'm surprised they didn't just name it rocOS or VrocOS

I can second this, I also had a Champion as my main thrower and it's glide is surprisingly better than I imagined.

Innova would be wise to make a Zone clone....

Trilogy made the Harp.

There would be tons of overlap with the Gator flightwise, but they are very different discs in feel and design. "More than one way to skin a cat"

I have no real brand loyalty and the Zone works better for me than the Gator. That being said, I would rather have a Jolly Launcher Zone, and a GStar Zone.

Could that be the Hawg??

I HOPE SO!! If they are, and drop in JL Protos, I'm all on that.

 

[Timeetyo]

I'm obligated as a Razorback fan to get one. I'm surprised someone hasn't name a disc "Razorback".

You don't already throw a pig? I mean, you could do this:

 

[Questatement]

With a boss top it could be the... Boss Hawg.

*Crickets*

I want one in a nice smoky grey. There really is nothing better than getting my Hawg smoked.

They should do a line of BBQ scented ones. Take that fruity Trilogy discs.

Oh that's what I need... a bacon smelling bag. Keeping the dogs away would be fun

 

[biscoe]

piranha redo?

I was kinda thinking the same thing! That is of it is slow.

 

[keltik]

Could this be innova commandeering the discmania p3?

I hope not. The ones I've thrown have kind of been turds.
