[Innova] Banshee

[AndyJB]

Just get yourself yourself a Brister Teebird. Mine are almost as beefy as my Banshees. In fact, I have a nice 11 KC Pro banshee that is interchangeable with my Brinster bird.

All of this and I'm glad to see someone finally say what's bolded.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Is Innova still producing these or was it just a 2013 run?

Wonder if this is a sign of more Banshee/EXP-X runs in the near future? Pricey but this new Proto Glow is much improved over the older 'Classic' glow + Star Glow is pretty ideal grip & flexibility.

Looking out for a restock this week in the other colors and maybe 170-172g weights.

Now that's how you necrobump...

It took 10 years to come up with the new stamp!
To be honest, the original stamp kind of sucked.

I noticed this thread title as I was reading another thread. Surprised to see it bumped, but since it has been, I'll share my Twitter exchange with Innova this morning:

Me: "As someone who's bagged a Champ Banshee for 3+ years now, I can say this is a bit more stable than a TeeBird, and the closest thing to a 7-speed FireBird that Innova makes, without it crossing over into only utility throws."

Innova: "This is a very accurate description of what a Banshee embodies. In simple terms it is a beefy Teebird. More high speed stability and more fade. Not quite as beefy or as overstable as a Firebird."

Yeah Innova this year started updating the artwork on every production mold, and they're even different from each other in the same mold, but different plastics. So far I'm liking what they've done.

Glad to see that innova remembered the banshee existed. I feel like banshee or an exp-x is a better overstable option for most of us than a firebird.

Proto glow Cheetahs next???

 

[TiltedFlipCurves]

Gotta try one...though I have a pretty good idea if I like the DX Banshees this Star one is just going to be useless beef for me.

I threw both Champ and DX for quite some time in the past, you're correct it will not fly like the DX ones you like.

If they're not flat just throw them in the trash.

It's flatter than the official profile at about 6 mm, anyway. Don't love it, don't hate it, gonna keep it in the bag for now for FH and utility.

Felt each color at a local store, same profile for all 4 colors - pretty flat on top, some height/slope in the shoulder. I'd say flat compared to any Champ Banshees I've seen and similar to my flat Q EXP-X.
