Review: This is a great disc for finesse drives. I can't feed it a
lot of power or else it will turn over on me. If you're looking for
an accurate woodsy/tunnel driver then this will get the job done
perfectly. I don't recommend it for 9-12 O'clock winds or else it
will flip over fairly quickly. Great at low power!

Review: Here I'm reviewing Innova's Pro Line Beast. This was their
first run of the Beast in candy plastic, before the name changed to
Champion. Although I don't know for sure, I personally don't think
that the Pro Line Beast is comparable to the Champion Beast, because
they feel different to me and I think that they may be a slightly
different mold. I've been playing for about 3 years now and almost
from the very beginning (as soon as they were released)I've had a
174g Pro Line Beast. I have 4 of these now and I try and use them
equally to reduce wear. If these babies ever wear out I have no clue
what I'm going to do with my game. The Pro Line Beast is my most
accurate driver, I think mainly because I've had it so long and I can
make it do what I want to. While occasionally a Teebird-L or a
Starfire might give me a straighter shot, the Beast is more
consistent for me. In the same vein, while with a Quarter K and
sometimes a Starfire I can outdistance my Beasts, I'd rather throw
350' with my Beasts consistently than have four 300' for every 400'
with other discs. The Beast is very easy to control and it can be
throw extremely flat and extremely straight for long distances, it
can get an amazing S-curve for ultra long distances, and it can be
used for big hyzers and big anhyzers alike. I've even used this in
One and Done tournaments, thats how much I love my Beasts. The
Beasts are not always the best choice however; as I said, I can
sometimes get more distance out of other discs, especially in a
headwind, and the Beast is no substitute for a good mid-range.
Whether you like the Beast or not, find a disc that you like and
learn to do anything with it as I did with my Beast. No matter what
the disc is, the time spent learning that disc will improve all
aspects of your game.

Review: A first started playing with a beast. It was very hard of
course, its a prety friggin overstable. Anyway, I used to throw it
really hard with a left angle, before I even knew how to keep a disc
level, or use a right angle. It actually whent prety far, a
consistant 300'. Now I can throw it med-high with a left curve that
turns over right slowly for about 300' untill it finishes with a slow
left to land it about 400-450'. I deffinately love this disc. A good
throw for short right turns is to give it a right angle with weak arm
snap. Generaly you can expect a gentle donward-right float to very
level slight left float. Ive aced a 250' and had chains several times
with the previous throw type.
I like heavy ones so you can put a lot of tork and speed into the
throws described.
Also someone mentioned DX plastic being more overstable. This is
definately true, I would say Champion is less stable then DX or Jk.
