[Innova] Firefly

[GoobyPls]

Innova's crafted up a new putter, and it sounds like Nate Sexton will be using them. Possibly a P2 clone. Will be available in their new "Nexus" plastic. That might be the old McPro. Actually, I really hope it is.

I posted this on another thread but will mention it here as well: I am wondering if this Nexus plastic is the same as Infinite's I-blend plastic. I-blend is good stuff, and I've been expecting Innova to start molding their discs in it, as well. Time will tell, I guess... opcorn:

how did i not consider that "nexus" will be McPro. i was so excited speculating earlier hahaha....

I said this in another thread, but I think Nexus is a portmanteau of Nate Sexton. Could be a plastic developed just for Nate.

They had to come up with the name "Nexus" because changing "McPro" to "SexPro" wasn't gonna work out.

I wouldn't be so sure that Nexus is McPro.

Innovastore Europe is selling these:

With this note:
Pro Tip: This product is the equivalent of the popular McPro Aviars from past years.

I'm hoping Nexus is something new.

I guess my gut reaction to nexus was a firmer xt blend? Not quite mcpro stiff.

Could have gone with NatePro.

Just as firm but less slick is my hope or a more grip take on McPro. I thought McPro became Tour Pro?

 

[ThomasOrion]

its all the same garbage - call it what you want - haha - It would be nice to see Innova have GOOD baseline plastic though

McPro = KcPro = Tour Series Aviar Pro

Kinda noticed in the picture they used of Nate it looks like he is doing a spin putt that he normally uses his dart for. Maybe I'm reading into this a bit too much but asking one of the world's best putters to change discs is a huge task. I'm not convinced he's going to replace his p2s with the firefly.

Well he was able to make a kid so I guess he isn't too bad at it. :\

The real drawback of SexPro plastic is that it's really slick and if it starts vibrating in your plane luggage the TSA will pull you out for a bomb inspection. :|

Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'push putter'...

Did Innova get bought out by Google? That was my first thought when I read Nexus. Maybe something similar to DC's JB, or McBeth's new blend? A P2 clone that is readily available would sell like hotcakes. Really makes me wonder what DM's game changer on Thursday will be.

 

[riltim]

Cool name.

If Innova makes trash baseline, pray tell who makes good baseline? I'm genuinely curious here.

If the news is that Discmania is splitting ways with Innova and molding their own plastic in Colorado, the Firefly looking like the exact copy of a P2 makes sense.

Genuine answers: Prodigy's 300 plastic is pretty good, and was their baseline until the 200 plastic came out. Also, Trilogy's Classic/ZeroHard/BTHard is good, and it's their baseline to me. Origio/Prime came out later, and is not bad.

Discraft's Pro-D is very bad, IMHO. And Innova's DX has had a few decent runs at time, but a lot of waxy garbage at times, as well.

That's my thesis of what the big Discmania announcement on 2/14/2019 is. We'll see in a few days. opcorn:
