Does anyone know if Innova released G* as a direct competitor to Discraft's FLX plastic? Obviously both plastics are softer/more flexible than other plastics. IMO G* is the better product. It isn't quite as floppy as FLX and has way better flight characteristics.
G* has grown on me a bit. When it first came out I wasn't a fan. The more I throw it the more I see that the discs fly pretty close to the advertised numbers. G* doesn't wear exceptionally fast and glides well. The G* Shryke is perhaps the longest driver I've ever thrown. I've thrown 4 of them and they all fly very similarly. I like the consistency in G* plastic. G* Destroyers also tend to be fairly mellow fliers, not meathooks like some of the regular star Destroyers.
FLX on the other hand I hate. It absolutely doesn't glide and all the discs I ever threw in that plastic were WAAAYYY more overstable than the advertised flight numbers. I guess I can see why Discraft discontinued it.
