Pig is love, Pig is life. A motto and credo of the Robbie C channel, the Pig is quite literally tattooed on my arm. There is one major problem with my favorite mold though...a lack of premium plastic. Discraft has changed the market once again though with its Zone Battle packs, and with these comes a premium plastic thumbtrack disc, the ZONE GT WITH A RINGER GT TOP!!! To say I'm excited to try this disc out is an understatement, but me and the zone do NOT have a good history together. So how did it stack up?? You'll have to watch to find out!!

I love the fan vote but I feel like it'll be 'the support for both discs has been so immense that we'll get both PDGA certified!' in the end

@derpderpin1568 9 ай бұрын

can't believe anyone votes for the ringer. banger drastically increases backhand comfort for a zone while the ringer does nothing for either throw.

On a note for the zone. The crystal flx or esp flex from Discraft gives a more grippy feel than base plastic will give you, which is a plus of their plastics in the cold

@derpderpin1568 9 ай бұрын

crystal flx Zone is almost half my throws. almost any shot within 200 feet. if i could only play with one disc for the rest of my life it'd be a crystal flx zone.

I know how you feel about the Pig. Im the same with with my DX Birdie, just fits my game and hand well. My best straight approach under 200'. It gets beaten up and just flies the same.

I lost my Pig a few weeks ago. I just got one from Amazon today. It's a new version with the new Innova logo. The plastic feels different and slightly more premium but stiffer than the older runs. I'll be throwing it soon and see how the plastic holds up.

@vicccey1345 9 ай бұрын

I have several zones and they feel 'SLIGHTLY" different in my hand..some feel like they cuff my fingers better while some like (the 6x PM's) feel shallower...BUT they do all fly the same and they stay that way....which as I found out early the PIG does not...its been the 1 disc where I was like what happened to my disc???? didn't hit anything....but now I have found the best of both worlds in the lucid chameleon suspects...for those who wish they had a beat-zone its money

@TheScottishKayaker 8 ай бұрын

Innova did do a limited run of blizzard champion pigs a few years ago. Apparently due to how much plastic the pig takes even with blizzard plastic they had a hard time keeping the pig under a PDGA legal weight so they didn't do another run. I still have mine hanging on my wall. I will say it was very domey and was more glidey and understandable before fading back hard. From what the others reported from the ones they received they weren't super consistent. Some said it was stupid overstable others said it flew like a super beat in pig. When Ricky was signed with Innova I had hoped his influence would make them take another look but with him leaving I very much doubt they will do another run.

@brandonward6932 9 ай бұрын

Lonestar discs copperhead comes in premium plastic. It flies pretty similar to the pig in my opinion. My glow copperhead is just as overstable as my rpro pigs.

Toro - its a Innova Zone and feels/is a bit deeper comes in Champion and Star. Used to carry Entropys but didnt like FH - tried a Toro and sold my entropys that day. Its what I wanted that to be.

Both Zone GTs feel great to me. It’s been a close battle so far but I am slightly more consistent with the ringer zone.

You should work on a disc with Jesse from trash panda and call it the robin and you could have your perfect approach disc

@stevengreer3327 9 ай бұрын

For grip on the cold, get some cold temp surf wax and keep it in a plastic bag. Lightly tough/rub your fingertips on it before every forehand. Not enough to coat the disc; obviously, but enough to add a little grip. Makes a huge difference.

This is the reason I got the Gator Metal flake. no thumb ring, but it pretty much replaced my pig for shots with a bit of a rough landing or heavy tree in the fairway.

Other being 1 speed faster the zone and a ringer GT have the same numbers. So it’s not enough of a different disc to have it permanently produced. The banger zone is actually a different usable disc..it’s a Banger GT OS

The depth issue is odd to me because because if you forehand with fairway drivers and distance drivers, they will all be thinner as well. Is it that you throw a lot more shot shapes with the putters/mids?

@callawaycass5148 7 ай бұрын

The depth is thinner, but the rim width is wider so it changes the grip.

Im sorry to say that i voted bangerGT top becasue i liked its quirky feel on hand and RingerGT one felt so damm shallow. I bag "PIG" that has been in bag now 3 seasons(literalylly hyzer flip from small hyzers) and pretty much new Innovastore special stamp PIG. Im not biggest fan of really overstable approach discs so my old beat up PIG and P1 gets alot time both forehand and backhand.

@lankmeister 9 ай бұрын

I think the thumb track on the ringer zone is too close to the rim so I don't even feel it on forehand or backhand throws. The banger zone is a little less understandable than my regular zones, but at least feels like a different disc. I'll be voting for the banger top even though I like the ringer a little more, because if discraft is going to make a new disc, it should feel unique. The ringer top is just too similar to a regular zone to make it worthwhile

I'm trying to build my bag, and i stumbled on one problem. I kinda want my discs to be how they are, and not how they bet in. I know that's not realistic, but should i think about that when i build my bag further? can anyone please answer this?

@amitch2553 9 ай бұрын

I am in the same boat. Most of my discs I want to fly like how they are out of the box vs beat in. Now some I don’t mind a little beat in but I don’t want a disc that takes years to beat in the fly how I want it. What I do is let’s say for my 7 speed slot I carry two fds. One in s line and one in c line. The s line will beat in faster and the c line will stay stable for longer. Get one disc in a more premium or overstable plastic and one disc in a less premium plastic. That way it beats in a little bit but it’s also easily replaced.

1. Bias is ok here. Everyone is different. Seemed like you were open minded and provided information to others that can help them make informed decisions. 2. Big box contracts / mass production keep the product widely available on the market at reasonable prices. Still, I’m with you and don’t understand why the pig isn’t available in a premium plastic.
