[Question] Looking for the Rhyno specialist..
- Thread starter treehorn
- Start date
How grippy is it? The factory store has stiff pro rhyno's that are quite grippy (http://proshop.innovadiscs.com/pro-rhyno-stiff.html). You might have one of those that got stamped R-Pro for some weird reason.
I have 2; they are San Marino tooled. The ink on the bottom looks similar except the one I just checked has the positions of the "RY" and "175" swapped compared to the picture you posted.
^^^ Yeah, this if it's ontario tooled. I bought an R-Pro stamped ontario mold rhyno a few months ago, but it is very gummy. Just an old run of softer pro that was "lost" then got a modern stamp. Same thing could happen for a stiffer run.

Flat top rhynos... simply the best.

San Marino. Probably should have mentioned that but if it was Ontario I would have definitely mentioned that.
I would say it is fairly grippy. Certainly not slick. A little more grip than my Dx Roc3, definitely more than my KC Rocs, and about the same as my Dx Thunderbird (but not as stiff as the Thunderbird for frame of reference).
So your San Marino tooled ones, are they penned Ry or P-Ry or what? How flat are they also? I could buy a few from the proshop, if that is what they are, since they are not too expensive.
Yeah, this is super flat topped and I really like it. Not as stable as my Ontario Stars, but I don't need it to be

I really only care b/c I want to try and find more, and knowing what I have is the logical starting point.Haven't felt an rpro in awhile, but sounds like it, or transfer from rpro to dx.
edit: doesn't matter as long as you like it
Maybe, but that still doesn't explain how it is marked. Of the five or six other R-pro Rhynos I have held, they were super floppy compared to this one. If you compared to Trilogy plastics, my disc's stiffness would be somewhere between Blend and Hard, probably closest to Prime/Retro. But the R-pro Rhynos I have felt are very close to Trilogy Soft.
I hear ya. And as much as I like Innova, good luck with that. I will pay attention to the rpro Rhynos next time.
What I want is a black 175 gstar Rhyno with San Marino tooling. I don't know if they are out there, but
.
The one I looked at was "RY", with the lower right tail of the "R" becoming the upper left branch of the "Y" (if that makes sense).
My factory store ones are very flat, but I bought them from a friend and I have a sneaking suspicion that they might have been flattened after purchase.

Sounds good. I might have to get a couple just to try out. Its a Rhyno so I will love and find a use for it one way or another. Now if I can only convince someone I play with to go in on an order with me so we can get free shipping.
Anyone try dx Rhynos in the 150 class? Sometimes I think I don't need a mid if I could just squeeze a little more distance out of my Rhynos. So I'm wondering if 150 Rhynos will have the same HSS that keeps them straight no matter how bad my form like their heavier brothers while giving me more distance.

yes. They are a staple in my 150g bag.
You can lay into new-ish ones as hard as you want and they wont turn... assuming clean form. I am getting 275'+ out of mine. There is a 250' hole that I use a Rhyno and it feels like I am throwing at 70%.
After a decent amount of wear (5/10 selling condition) then they will start to develop a little turn. I haven't ever gotten rid of a Rhyno because it was too understable.
The 150s will go a little further but what you'll notice more it that they will stay straighter longer.
The one thing I don't like about the 150g DX Rhynos is that the plastic is waxy. I don't have 150 Rhynos in any other plastic.

A pro Rhyno beat 5 years in will drive on a rope line whether thrown high, low, head or tail wind, etc. most every time and stay there for many years. Good luck finding one for sale though. Most owners won't even think about letting them go once they fall into this gem category.
Oh, and don't go by looks. I've had the ugliest ones that you can imagine still fly stable.

you have seen 150g Pro Rhynos?
Ilmcgee-
I should have added to my first post that new DX 150s don't need clean form. Cleaner form is needed as they age.
Marmoset - I figured you would know something, and exactly what I suspected. I wouldn't say I have bad form, just gets worse the more I put into it.
Questatement - That's why I like the DX, they get to the rope state pretty quick. I actually want to beat in a couple more DX for short approaches and up hill shots.

LOL
yeah, me too!
BTW, now I want a 150 DX Rhyno, San Marino tooled, in a color I like, and doesn't feel waxy.
Thanks......:|

My 150s are mostly Ranchos with a few Ontarios. No Sannys
