[Innova] Any pros throw the Boss?

[SD86]

May be the wrong arena to ask this, and I ask out of sheer curiosity: do any pros throw the Innova Boss? I'm not able to remember seeing any, but that doesn't mean someone out there isn't flinging Bosses around...

Gregg Barsby throws the boss and the scorpius (which if I recall correctly is a boss variant)

Barry Schultz had one in his last in the bag video.

Ah, Schultz, I'd forgotten about him. Thanks for the reminder.

How about David Wiggins Jr. ? He had a signature Boss at one time ( and a distance record with one too ) and still throws Innova.

Side question - is Destroyer the most commonly thrown Innova wide rim driver by dem pros?

One of the Euro Innova guys does. Pasi?

Without going through a bunch of ITB's and player profiles on Innova's website (which hasn't been updated in ages)... I'd say its BY FAR the most common Innova high-speed driver thrown by their players.

Agreed. Climo still throws the Wraith, and a bunch of 'em throw Destroyers (not the least being the new signatory, 4peat world champ Paul McBeth), as they believe the Destroyer is the best combination of distance, control and accuracy.

I was just having trouble thinking of who threw the Boss; hence, my asking...

Thank goodness for the chuckers that like the label and the high speed

Hannah Leatherman said she throws one in her Smashboxx interview. Destroyer is way more prevalent.

Quasar is the boss clone not scorpious

I have a Feldberg Champ Boss. I don't think he's with Innova anymore, is he?

nope.

I heard through the grapevine that Feldberg actually threw Destroyers when he was with Innova, he just wanted his signature disc to be the Boss because he knew Innova would sell a lot of them providing him with more royalty $$$$.

Not sure if its true though.

 

[KGroff25]

He threw the proto bosses, which were somewhat flippy. I don't think he was ever big on throwing production bosses.

Yep, Pasi Koivu, who won this year's Finnish Nationals, is a Boss thrower. If you're heading to the USDGC, might see Boss getting thrown, Pasi is among the 7-8 man Finnish "invasion" opcorn: .

Feldberg was throwing green Protostar stamped EchoStar Bosses at the 2010 USDGC. He talked about how he liked a very particular run of them. They were marked a certain way on the bottom, but I don't remember exactly what that mark was. I remember that they were fairly domey, and that he pointed out that the top would "pop" if you pushed down on it.

Jason Perdue, my buddy and local pro in San Diego. Furthest throwing player I know personally. He just crushes his bosses.
