Default Rose City Open Champion Discs

Does anyone know what Innova disc was used for the Rose City Open 2009 souvenir? I bought one in champion plastic but I forgot to ask which disc from Innova Stumptown selected.

Thanks.

The player's pack discs were a number of molds - I had a Boss before I donated it to the tweakers that pull the discs from the pond at Dabney.

The real 'souvenir' disc with the full color wood pecker on it was a star ontario roc...

Right mold wrong disc, the woodpecker was the Beaver State Fling discs, the Stumptown montage was the Rose City Open disc.

Ahh yes - sorry, I've been unemployed so I haven't bought either...my roc fetish is chained up in the corner and it hasn't been fed for months.

Thanks.

Is there a letter or two written on the underside of the disc in the center next to the weight?

Hmm, good question. The letters appear to be 'BO'.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just got back in the game and I am loving it again. This disc makes sense to me now. I am a right handed person but throw LHBH or RHFH - go figure. Anyway, at 175 grams and this speed of disc, from the few throws I have tossed in an open field, my arm strength is just not there yet.

Thanks again,

Mark

Yeah, it is a lot of disc. It can be good for forehand. If you release it so it starts to the left it will recover and finish right, giving a nice "S" pattern and some extra distance. It is also good for shorter shots that need to finish hard right or with a big skip.
