[Innova] New mold vulcan?

[Syko]

Ive had a few vulcans, not really that into them but my brother got one for me for christmas and it is by no means the same disc in any way shape or form. I have yet to throw it, going to in about an hour or so. I compared it to a vulcan i bought about 6 months ago and the lips look the same if i turn one of them upside down. My first guess before i throw the new vulcan is overstable, it reminds me of a sharper wider firebird rim or something.

Any ideas on whats up with this?

I would never believe that was the same mold, nowhere close!! I threw a Pro Vulcan for a short time. Got a GL Bolt recently & it's much better in my opinion. Seems more predictable in the turn & fade & the rim feels much more comfortable. Just my thoughts. But yea, those look WAY different!!

Could be that you got one of the infamous "destrulcans".
I believe that they are a destroyer top plate and vulcan bottom.
Maybe one of the "experts" will chime in...

^but weren't those labeled as Destroyers?

I'm no expert, but the disc on right is definitely not a Vulcan, the Vulcan bottom is almost flat like the disc on the left.
What are the markings on the bottom?

Not sure, that's why I was hoping that one of the experts would chime in...

The one on the LEFT is a Vulcan, mine is identical to the pic.
Not sure what the one on the right is, but it has a bottom plate that closely resembles a destroyer.


Where are the experts???

destrulcans have the vulcan top, you mixed it up

i have no idea what to say, other then they are definitely not the same disc.

That's why you don't see "DGCR Consultant" next to my name...

Which one is the Vulcan and which is the one in question?

How about maybe a teedevil?

I think if the right one is labeled Vulcan somebody at the factory was smokin' crack that day

It almost looks like a Flick (obviously not though... duh). I can't even think of something that it COULD be.

That helps alot...(the emoticon I mean).
So what is it you who have 9+ years playin'...

Looks a lot like the wing of a Katana, which would make sense for Innova to want to play doctor with.
Pulled this off Altitude's site

edit: Still no word on how it flies, or what the marking on the bottom says?

 

[Plankeye]

if it has a vd on the bottom, then it is a tee-devil

had a chance to throw it 3 times before work. most overstable disc ive ever thrown. it starts fading the instant it comes out of my hand. my 180g opto XXX is less overstable than this thing. i couldnt get it over 200ft.
took out a few discs and compared them side by side, looks nothing like any high speed disc i have. boss, nuke os, katana, destroyer, xcal and wraith. but when i flip it upside down it looks almost the same as my vulcan. kind of maes me think someone at innova wanted to see what would happen if they molded a disc upside down

not quite enough information just from that pic, if i could feel it i could tell you.

OP, is that a bead on the bottom i think i see in the picture? also, does the bottom of the very outside of the rim curl back under a little back towards the middle of the disc? (subtle, but if you dont know what im talking about already you should hopefully)
