Have a boss and teedevil. I can throw the boss farther than any other of my discs with less effort. Teedevil is to flippy for those that throw with high spin.

a lot of the molds they've tried in the blizzard process have seemed to keep their stability overall; more flippy than heavier stuff obviously, but like Jesse said they can bomb. Wiggins reportedly threw a 150g blizzard Boss 828ft.

I have a feeling that when this process gets fine tuned and nailed down, it just might change disc golf and course design.

More likely the technology would be capped/banned than courses made longer. Not predicting either to happen though.

I wrote a quick "first impressions" blog article of the Blizzard Wraith for this morning- I liked it, but it's only been two days.

here's the link if you're interested: http://dgsquared.com/2012/02/15/innova-champion-blizzard-wraith-disc-review-by-discy-magee/

Anyone checked to see if these float?
Might be another added bonus. :wink:

Nice review. I've been thinking about trying out one of these new discs.....and Cliff Stephens is a great course.

good to know/hear- been wondering about durability, I wonder if I should've grabbed a destroyer instead of a wraith...

Jeff Burrows · Post by **Jeff Burrows** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 1:46 pm

Mine have only been thrown a handful of times and they have some very un-champion-like dings in them.

I'll second that. I dropped one on asphalt and scarred the edge pretty easily. Love the distance you can get at half the power but I am less than impressed with the durability.

Sounds like they might make for a good standstill disc...

Steve Solbo · Post by **Steve Solbo** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:02 pm

How's the Blizz Wraith fly? what's the max weight on these things... ?

Might have to try and get a couple.

Considering everyone is bombing them...

I bought a 137 Boss today at Marshall Street. It is super duper flippy. If you want something that you can throw with full power, you probably want to get 147+ range. just a guess though as where then line between flippy boss and stable boss. I never tested out the floatablility of it though.

Jaxon Sheehy · Post by **Jaxon Sheehy** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 10:01 pm

I was lucky enough to get Avery Jenkins on the phone- (trying to do a grip eq bag review/interview)- so I used the chance to ask him about the Innova Blizzard discs- he said he just got through doing a desert long distance session. I was surprised because he said the Destroyers were much more stable than the Boss's. He described the Destroyers as almost too stable for the desert distance stuff- but that he got a Blizzard Boss out to 202m.

He also said he was throwing weights up to 158 grams.

Anyone else get the Destroyer? Sounds like a lot of folks with either the Boss, Katana or Wraith-

Dave Jackson · Post by **Dave Jackson** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 10:59 pm

Does anyone consider throwing drivers that are routinely 30-40 grams lighter could possibly cause a wrinkle in their consistency?
Not completely game altering, but throwing one way for ever then altering your delivery to compensate for the weight difference of these Blizzard discs versus a traditional weighted distance driver?

I cant wait to try one.
Different is always, well, different.
Better? Remains to be seen :wink:

I suck normally, so losing consistancy isn't an issue. :lol:

Uh oh. My game mostly relies on me throwing it where I want it to go. Mostly...

Dave Jackson · Post by **Dave Jackson** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 7:38 am

I laid my hands on the Blizzard discs.
I :roll:

my eyes. Kinda laughed.
Spoke with Hoey for a minute about them.
Did not buy any, due to inconsistent material composition.
I kinda formed my own opinions about the manufacturing process and theory behind the New Releases.

Top players MAY utilize these discs. I guess we'll see at the Vibram Open in August :wink:

How about TITANIUM in discs. Its next....
