New R-Pro Boss

Lots of new discs are coming out:
Where to start? Well, Innova has been pumping out the R-Pro discs: currently, they have the R-Pro Dart, R-Pro Aviar, R-Pro Cro and just this week introduced the R-Pro Boss, R-Pro Skeeter and R-Pro Hyrdra. I R Pro, RU? The R-Pro Boss is the one that has been getting the most publicity since the R-Pro Dart.



Heres' some posts from the PDGA Message Board about the R-Pro Boss from Dave Dunipace of Innova:

Hi Dave-What is to be the future of the r-pro boss? will it be a regular model, and if so, what will be the weight range? When these are new, they fly like no other. I put the 150's head-to-head against my dx destroyers, the disc i use in an open setting when i need max D, and the bosses consistently flew further for me. They do get beat up very easily and turn understable quickly, but I just use them for open shots, and they are lasting about as long as my dx destroyers. one good hit and they are done, but I can deal with that and stock up, and the grip and D is worth it for some shots."

"ThanksHi Steven,We are going to start a main run of R-Pro Bosses next week. We are shooting for 150 class to mid sixties. You bring up some good points about these R-Pro drivers. I am not sure if we are going to make any other drivers in R-Pro as they don't do well on high speed tree contact. That being said, I did a real good taco job on an R-Boss, but was able to reform the rim easily. And, although the flight plate still looked bad, the disc was as stable as new and is still flying fine. So, I wouldn't be so quick to think the disc you smashed is done yet. You might be able to bend it back in shape. Short sharp tweeks work best to reform the rim. You can actually overdo it by bending the nose up too far and produce an overstable driver. "



"Most likely, at this point, R-Pro will be reserved for lighter weight drivers. The grip is terrific, but the impact resistance is not, especially for the heavier versions. If we can find a more impact resistant formula for the heavier drivers, we will make them. Right now, the main point of the R-Pro Boss is to empower weaker throwers to throw longer. For more powerful throwers, they will mainly be for fun, and distance records."



"We are only planning on running lighter weight R-Pro Bosses. The heavier they get, the more fragile they get, and the less carry the have. The most useful for the power disenfranchised players will be from the floater 130's to the 150 class."

About the R-Pro Boss: Finally, the Boss is available for humans! Grippy plastic, great glide, and ginormous go. This is the Boss for players of all levels. Easier to throw, it will add sweet, golden distance to your game. A great uphill driver for more advanced players. Initail weight ranges are 135g to 164g .
