The new disc is approved. It's called the Wahoo.

Innova Champion Discs recently submitted the Wahoo for PDGA testing. This disc passed all PDGA tests, so I've added it to the list of PDGA-approved discs. This disc is now permitted in all PDGA competitions, although formal certification will be made by the Board of Directors at their next meeting. Test measurements are listed below.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[shinypickle]

Why do they have to make a faster driver. They are already fast enough.

 

[kpc2004]

there is no such thing as fast enough!!!!!!!!!!! lol jk

I'm not their target market, so I will leave it alone; but I do think their target market are people who shouldnt throw it when you think of the biggest arms like Avery seems to just like his Destroyers. I dont know. Maybe thats why they are doing it? Until they find one that guys like Avery really like?

 

[Triflusal]

Wahoo is an even worse name the the boss

 

[jimbosprint]

Really?

Wahoo?

 

[optidiscic]

Wahoo I love it......

Can't wait to hear the players asking "where'd my wahoo go" "anyone see my wahoo in the bushes" or the inevitable "wahoo for sale threads"

 

[optidiscic]

Note to mods...I am not making any innuendo in the prior comment...it's just a funny name and it goes in line with

"where'd my groove go" "anyone see my groove in the bushes" or the inevitable "groove for sale threads"


Damn that sounds dirty to

LOl I am just trying to say Innova makes disc names like Mad Libs and I personally enjoy their style Innova makes fun names unlike the bad ass wanna be newer disc companies

 

[Three Putt]

Really?

Wahoo?

 

[ManU]

unless the disc is way better than it has been described so far it will go the way of the Groove in no time

 

[optidiscic]

I actually think the Katana was a home run and everyone laughed at those specs....I think Innova is about to clean up again

 

[BrotherDave]

I hope this is the inspiration behind it:

 

[optidiscic]

Chief Wahoo Mcdaniel gotta love Irish Indian Wrestlers....damn the 80s were so much more fun

I am going to guess that the wahoo will be a success......Innova did well with their last few new releases (katana, Dart, Mako, etc.)

 

[optidiscic]

Three Putt can you compare those specs and flighlines to any other disc out there....I'm curious what kind of disc this will be

 

[ManU]

a Groove/Katana hybrid with less glide

faster than both
nose angle sensitive
no glide

this doesn't sound hard to throw at all

but, maybe it performs better than the specs make it sound

all the approved drivers with their specs

[jimbosprint]

is there an edge profile photo?

 

[optidiscic]

I like the fact thats it lower glide and has tons of fade......in most peoples hands it might perform like a longer firebird....due to most unable to get to the right speed to turn and the meaty fade. Thats my guess. The idea of a longer firebird is interesting to me....I might be way off though

If this disc is named after the University of Virginias football team (the wahoos) then it is going to suck. UVa isn't very good, but occasionally it surprises you.
