R-Pro Plastic??

Ryan Girard · Post by **Ryan Girard** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 7:03 pm

Anyone try Innova's new flavor of the month?

I skipped out on the Dart but just recently ordered an Aviar P & A

Hoping this plastic isnt too floppy, but maybe soft like those old JK 3xers.

Interested in some feedback

R-Pro is proving to be a very versatile plastic.

I recently picked up an R-Pro Dart to see if it'll replace my beat straight Wizard. No word on that, but the plastic is pretty sweet. Comparably floppy to Discraft's FLX plastic, but a lot more grippy. It's going to be nice for people who like Soft Rhyno's. Haven't hit anything with the Dart yet so I don't know about the durability. Some help I am, right?

I also got my hands on a couple R-Pro Bosses. Both are lightweight, I got a 155g and a 161g. I was afraid the plastic would be Dart-like; I don't like drivers in FLX because they flop too much. Not the case, however. The plastic feels GREAT in a driver. Super grippy and feels really nice in hand. I threw them in a field and the edges got a tiny bit serrated on a couple landings, making me think that the plastic probably isn't that durable. But the nice thing is that if they can make 150 Bosses, they can make 150 anything. The density is obviously way lower than Champ or Star. The Bosses BOMB, by the way.

Floppy in putters, solid in drivers, grippy in both. I like it.

Just to follow up on the R-Pro Aviar.......

This disc was very floppy, a bit too much for my liking. I was hoping for a little more stiffness, I can't imagine how these will be on a hot summer day. If they could only get them like the JK Aviar 3xs (my fav putter).

Now time for R-Wood Plastic

Maybe Innova's lastest creation will help with the floppy R-Pro ish.........

From Dave D on Pdga.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what is r-wood plastic?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is basically R-Pro with a wood filled polymer added. The wood polymer makes the R-Pro a little more stable, stiffer, and still has a great grip. It also smells like wood and is wood colored. This is just a small run to see what people think of it. We were thinking of making trophies out of this wood polymer (we still may), but when we ran it, we liked the result as a flier.

Crazy huh? :lol:

Granite State Discs

granitestatediscgolf · Wed May 27, 2009 5:43 pm

I have now tried them. It is a very fast driver. I believe they can go far really really far. I have not learned the disc and may not. I would say it would be great for more experienced players. Anyone else have thoughts?

Tim_Griskus · Post by **Tim_Griskus** » Wed May 27, 2009 6:53 pm

I like the R-Pro Aviar however I've had a Uh No!!! Where the disc hit the center pole and bounced out, I actually like it but I'm going to be trying out some JK's in the near future, the Dart is very fast and I'm not a big fan of it for a putter, go for it shots yes but I still haven't used it much since it first came out....I'm willing to trade it.

All i have to say about rpro is money 2 aces in 12 days. Hole 5 wick Rpro dart hole 14 crane hill Rpro aviar.

Mike Zorovich · Post by **Mike Zorovich** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 8:33 am

the r-pro dart is great for long go-for-it shots. mine seems to be getting better with age. i never use it inside the circle though.

the r-pro aviar that i got is just to floppy, i trust my star aviar inside the circle.

Matt Aubin · Post by **Matt Aubin** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 3:37 pm

got an R-Pro Cro at ACT yesterday... i really like it, much stiffer than the aviar and darts i tried (didn't like the floppiness on those).

nailed a tree with it and expected the worst, but it was still like new. maybe the plastic can't last in sharp edged drivers and is too floppy for a putter... but it seems well suited to mids like this.

I haven't tried the R-Pro yet, but witnessed something I'd never seen before with it today...twice. First time I've ever seen a disc stick in the side of the basket...only for it to happen again 6 holes later. Same person too.

Mike Zorovich · Post by **Mike Zorovich** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 5:19 pm

i saw that for the first time too, during putting practice at ACT.

Has anyone tried dyeing this plastic yet?

R-Pro Boss is the chit !!!!

Although if your course is rocky or heavily wooded, it doesn't wear well.......

Matt Aubin · Post by **Matt Aubin** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 10:37 am

looks like they just released the r-pro Pig.

the r-pro boss is easily the longest disc i've ever thrown. ridiculous.

Shawn Mullen · Post by **Shawn Mullen** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 11:00 am

Am I the only one who thinks this stuff is garbage?? Soft and bendy in the hand, 0 durability. The only plus I see is that you can get it as light as 140g. If you need a boss that light, there are better discs out there for you that you should be throwing.

Karl Molitoris · Post by **Karl Molitoris** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 11:16 am

Shawn,

I'll agree with what I think you're saying...that the plastic is VERY non-durable (although I like the tactile feel it has)...but as for the "...there are better discs out there for you that you should be throwing.", I'm thinking not IF it's a totally open field and you're down-wind / no wind.

I've had my furthest throws bh (by like 20-30 feet over a 170ish Boss) with a 142 R-Pro Boss. True, they're "squirrelly" and you HAVE to go big hyzer with them, but IF you hit it right, I'm thinking they're longer than anything else.

Karl

Ps: Well, anything else but a big overhand Epic :wink:

I agree with you about the Epic :lol:

What I was also getting at is that a lot of people throwing these light weight bosses really shouldn't be. It's a speed 13 disc correct? That means you have to throw it speed 13 for the disc to fly like it was designed to. If you can't throw your fairway driver over 300+ feet the boss (even if it's light) is just hindering your development. If you have the arm for the boss and big enough hands to hold it it just might be the longest disc out there. If you have to release something anhyzer to get it to fly far it's the wrong distance driver for you. But that's more about the boss than the plastic it's made in. Why not just make it in Dx even that stuff will hold up better than r-pro, but it's the new thing. New plastic = more $ coming in. People want the latest and greatest. I can see using that stuff for putters and short range stuff but drivers....really :puker:

Stephen Ditter · Post by **Stephen Ditter** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 12:01 pm

I love the feel of the R-Pro Boss much more then my dx 150 class destroyer. I'm actually in the market for Japan Open R-Pro Bosses 150-157 gm. if anyone is getting rid of them.

True about the "hindering development" thing.
Not sure about the DX (or any other plastic) being able to be molded into a super-light Boss configuration...not a plastics scientist.
Super true about the more money for Innova thing.
Especially super true about the Epic :wink:
