KC Pro like the Aviar/Roc? I assume those would crack too regularly in fairway driver speeds. I think the current Driver Pro is really only used in the Leopard and JLS for 6-8 speeds for stock discs. They did release some Halo Nexus Leo3s for Barry Schultz Tour series last year so maybe request Halo Nexus Eagles?Mind me reviving a dead post, but why wasn't the eagle ever given stock runs in kc/pro? Does Dave really hate it that much?

I bought a Pro TB and TL a recent time they loaded some into the Pro Shop (2021) and they both seemed pretty old (penned, fingerprint-y plastic). Definitely not a new run and most likely the same run that was released in the past (1 run every 10 years?).They do runs of Pro Teebird pretty regularly.
I had thought they wouldn't do 'more understable' plastics like Pro for overstable discs but they've done Gstar Banshees so who freaking knows the what or why with Innova.
Surprisingly not Firebirds, which is the one "distance driver" (their words) I really want in Pro plastic because the DX ones don't quite hold up long enough and the others are going to be total meathooks for me.There haven't been Velas in Millennium Standard plastic. Which is just Innova Pro plastic.
Innova runs most drivers in their Pro plastic.
I know they haven't yet I'm saying that may be my best shot at a pro "eagle." Seems like if they were gonna make an actual pro eagle they would have by now, so keeping my fingers crossed for the velaThere haven't been Velas in Millennium Standard plastic. Which is just Innova Pro plastic.

I-blend Scepters, Helio Sirius Draco and some Star FB aren't really OS just under max weight (170ish) and remain pretty good options. I-blend Scepters have only been run once but can still be found at various online retailers.Surprisingly not Firebirds, which is the one "distance driver" (their words) I really want in Pro plastic because the DX ones don't quite hold up long enough and the others are going to be total meathooks for me.
Pro firebirds were special. They came out a little domier which made them pretty good for the PD type slot. I always prefered X plastic Preds over the firebrids but back when they were both available they weren't uncommon in peoples bags.Surprisingly not Firebirds, which is the one "distance driver" (their words) I really want in Pro plastic because the DX ones don't quite hold up long enough and the others are going to be total meathooks for me.
It was made as KC Pro in the late 90's- the first of the driver mold Eagles (why in the heck did they give it a name they had already used?) were X mold in KC plastic. L molds didn't really become a thing until CE plastic came out .Mind me reviving a dead post, but why wasn't the eagle ever given stock runs in kc/pro? Does Dave really hate it that much?
KC pro driver plastic and the roc/aviar plastic were completely different. KC Pro drivers I can recall from long ago (late 90's): gazelle (pretty sure they were first), tbird, eagle, banshee, whippet, firebird.KC Pro like the Aviar/Roc?

Yep, I'm aware KC Pro for drivers was a unique blend back in the 90s (just before CE released?). I wasn't really sure if the poster I responded to was looking only at the currently available plastic blends where they were looking for a mid-grade Pro plastic. Innova has tried XT and Nexus in drivers at this point but don't believe either will become available stock plastic.KC pro driver plastic and the roc/aviar plastic were completely different.

Yeah, I want the current Pro plastic from the Pro Boss or Destroyer in Firebird shape, but no such thing in the Pro Shop. I'd have to settle for G* I guess.
Having a couple X preds in the bag was kinda a cheat code for a while. It was a speed 9/10 teebird before PDs and Thunderbirds. The Avenger tried and eventually the OLF eventually kicked mine.I liked Elite X Predators back in the oldentimes. Aura Omen is pretty close.
Shoutout to Gstar Firebirds, just sayin. They start out less overstable than any Star or Champ I've ever thrown and beat in well.Surprisingly not Firebirds, which is the one "distance driver" (their words) I really want in Pro plastic because the DX ones don't quite hold up long enough and the others are going to be total meathooks for me.
