[Vs.] The Innova vs Discmania Beef

[autocrosscrx]

I dunno. People use the term "beefy" to describe a disc that's pretty OS, and I describe my Drone as "pure beef."

So Beef would probs be a good name for a super overstable wind fighter.


Then again... might not appeal to vegetarians/vegans. :\

I'm in the no red meat camp.

Turns out I have a beef disc. It's a cousin to new Discmania

There were justices with a beef stamp a couple years back as well.

That or a Viking3. I really want that 9/4/-1/2.5 flight.

Surely between the thunderbird Viking and Valkyrie in different plastics you can find something in that range

Now whether you can get more than one of the same, good luck…

I'd love to be around when you leave it out of your bag and need it....or lose it...

Where's the BEEF!!!!!!!!

You'd hope so. I've only ever thrown one Thundy, a champ and it was too beefy. I spent a few months trying to beat it up but it never got juicy enough. I lost it and wasn't too sad. And I've heard anecdotally that the stars start out even more overstable!

Pro Thunderbird would probably do the trick, but those are tough to acquire. Same is true for Star Savant. Valk develops more high-speed turn than I'm looking for.

And before anyone suggests an Orc: no. Just no. That mold has been dead to me since 2007.

Millennium OLF is the disc you're looking for.

 

[rocthecourse]

They could have named it the "Fallow Deer."

 

[Lurp Nuts]

Innova should make an overstable utility disc named the Bull, that way every time you go bushwhacking off the fairway, you can say with confidence, "yep, this is some Bull sh**."

The beef is real… looks like Innova is releasing the FD as the…. Fairway Driver…

Hypothetically, what if the Fairway Disc comes out flat and overstable, like Innova put special care into it and made a second run FD with their first try. Now that'd be beefworthy.

If we compare the pdga stats, it does appear that the Fairway Disc is lower profile than the Jackal and that it's flexibility requires more weight meaning a stiffer disc (I'm guessing that's how the weight in the flexibility is used). We'll just have to wait and see I guess

Do the measurements come off the mold or a disc? If it's the disc how much variation can you have between runs or even discs with in a run? I only ask because the listed numbers don't seem very far apart.

The numbers come off the disc the company sent to PDGA to get approved. There's a lot of variations between runs and sometimes even in a single run

The measurements are a slight step above meaningless.

Companies are supposed to submit discs in their stiffest plastic too, so that may have influenced the way this specific disc molded up and themeasurement. I'd assume this disc is an exact duplicate. Why would Innova mess around with such a beloved disc?

 

[wolfhaley]

I was all like, "Never heard of the Discmania Beef. What a terrible name!"

It'd be even more hilarious if they did name a disc Beef.

And made it an Eagle signature series release.

So it looks like the Xero is not a P2 copy.
