Yup. These guys are why I don't like Trilogy. Well also that and their plastics suck

I dont really see that with Trilogy, it seems to only affect the american part of the Trilogy, IE Dynamic Discs. There's a creepy cult vibe surrounding them, they got a lot of yes-men pushing their stuff for seemingly no reason at all. Its turning me off their brand, but I'm still bagging the Verdict. I get the same vibe from MVP fans, although they arent quite as visible in social media. I'm also bagging MVP discs ... I guess the actual product is way more important to me than the brand image

I am finding myself in agreement with you too much here lately, this cant be good for my soul.

Being only 6 months in to playing disc golf (late to the party at age 50) I obviously haven't tried many of those brands, but I went with Innova. What bothers me is that I truly like their DX plastic (maybe because that's what I started out with) when brand new, but once it gets beat in, quickly I might add, the flight characteristics are very different. So I have the choice of either replacing my DX discs quite often or moving to another brand in which I like their better plastics. So I'm currently in the process of switching some of my disc over to Trilogy...love the Lucid/Opto and Fuzion/Gold feel (haven't tried BioFuzion yet).

It is? No wonder less people are quacking on Myface about these brands lately. I can't keep up.
I'm just glad that everyone loves 8-track tapes and Shamwows and Justin Bieber like I do still!

Huh???
What Innova disc are you throwing that doesn't come in a better plastic? Nothing in your sig anyway.

Good lord, I think this guy has every mold imaginable in there. He can't throw any of them flat either. SOOO much redundancy.

Uh, hmm. So Star, G*, and Champion don't work for you? Rather than give up on Innova, try some of their discs in premium plastic.
I agree DX wears too quickly, so I don't carry it. Innova's good plastic is very much worth a look though, and the discs are durable enough to last years.

Sorry, I was typing, looked up, and part of the post I was putting up had disappeared. I obviously didn't remember everything I typed and left part of it out. The part I left out was that I like the DX plastic but it's basically the only Innova plastic I've found I like. The GStar is too soft, the Champion isn't grippy enough (for my taste), and the Star is fair but really pales (in my opinion) when compared to the Lucid plastic of my Truth.
Again, somehow part of my post got deleted and I failed to put everything back in there. My apologies!

Well, Lucid is closer to Champ than Star, so not really an apples to apples comparison. The other thing about Innova plastics, they make so many discs that if you don't like how a particular run feels, wait 6 months to a year and it will be different.

How long do I have to wait for the slippery Champion Banshees and Mambas to change?
I've been waiting like 4 years for you to buy up all the Banshees. JL Banshee would be awesomeeeeeeee

Yeah, I feel like Innova's overall consistency level in plastic has decreased. Over a decade ago all Champion discs were that swirly marbled stuff that was just excellent. Only the lightweight ones were clear. Very consistent and a very good product. Today you have some good JL type stuff and then you have the Champion that Colossuses and Shrykes are made of. Its this weird semi-transparent stuff with air bubbles in the rims. I've seen Bosses in that blend too. I'm not as much a fan.
I think the best plastic Innova has had in recent memory was JL and luster (or is it shimmer?) champion. I know Innova makes tons and tons of discs and they can't continually use the same blends of plastic. However, I think they need to to a somewhat better job of QC. Some of the stuff that leaves their factory isn't very good. It isn't the molds, its the overall quality of the plastic (durability) and how it molds up. Occasionally in stores you'll run across Innova discs at full price that look poorly molded with weird plastic. How those discs escape the X out pile I don't know.

Yes, they would be. But none of my three Champ Banshees are very slippery to me. So whoever said they are... go throw them upside down in a parking lot and scuff 'em up...
Yeah, I would say it has been at least that long.
I have this vision that every time Innova mixes a lousy batch of champion plastic, they say, "Oops, bad plastic. Get out the Banshee mold again."
Either that, or it is so bad that no one is buying them, so they sit in the warehouse for years.

My guess is that the domey run of Champ Banshees isn't really a Banshee and nobody wants them. We need a touring pro to throw them and demand a special run.

I never claimed they were slippery! Banshee advocate here. I believe 3B mentioned that but I'm mobile and don't feel like reading back.
I've been throwing them since DX was the only option.
Nobody buys them because hurrr durrr power down FB. OR bruh Trilogy etc etc etc
Incredible mold that's beyond overlooked. I'm one of those guys that actually throws as far as he claims and I've never once felt they aren't overstable enough for my purposes. Along side a Drone and Xcal I still feel the need for them. Best approach OS forehand roller mold there is...Cobra gets the US [approach roller] vote.
