Default KC pro teebird / firebird?

I think it would be awesome to have a KC teebird and/or a firebird. If innova made them would you be interested?

They've actually already made both :D But I'm just being a pedantic ass about that.

I know you're talking about today's plastic that is used for KC Pro Aviars, Rocs, and Whippets. If I remember correctly, Innova says the plastic doesn't work well for many molds, Teebirds and Firebirds included. So, no matter how many people would throw them, Innova still won't make them.

You're talking about an entirely different plastic, dude. Think of the modern plastic that makes production KC Pro Rocs.

I should have been more specific. The kc roc aviar plastic. Innova can make them and will if the want is there.

I just saw Dave's post in the PDGA Equipment thread, and he does indeed say they can be made.

This contradicts what he has said earlier when asked about doing other stuff in KC Pro plastic.

KC Pro Teebirds would be awesome.

No, you started this because I envisioned KC Pro Teebirds, and the power of my mind caused someone to ask Dave D about KC Pro Teebirds, to which he replied that he could make them if there was enough demand, and then you saw that post.

Not only would the KC Teebirds and Firebirds cost less than Champion counterparts; therefore, making Innova less money . . . "The Champ", Mr. Ken Climo would also receive a small royalty for each disc sold, making Innova even less money.

On the other hand, as previously stated, IF Innova makes them, people will buy them, making Innova more money . . .

Personally, I have very little use for drivers in any less durable plastic. I hit far too many trees

A Teebird or Firebird in KC Pro plastic would just be weird for me. I just can't imagine throwing either disc in anything buy Champ. I had a DX Teebird and hated it, then I got a KC 11x Champ and loved it until I lost it in some water. It was a tourney and I replaced it with a star one for the day. I tossed that for a few months and then got an 11x again which reminded me how awesome they are and made me hate my star teebird, lol.
