Those are the Dominator numbers, hope it's not that...
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw those flight numbers. If this thing flies better than the Dominator, it might be a good disc. If it's the Dominator.. :wall:
Nothing but glowing reviews at Infinite so far. No mention of Dominator. Compared with Destroyer and Trespass mostly.
It could be the Krait mold. Innova lists the Krait as an 11-speed but it has a 2.3 cm rim (PDGA specs). The Krait is a pretty under-rated mold I would say; never as popular as it deserved. I think part of that was marketing it in the "no man's land" of 11-speed drivers. It's too fast to be a control driver, but most people throwing 11 speeds for max D are happy with Wraiths (and "Krait" is a weird name). And Kraits were never released in Star plastic before.
Anyway, I'll be happy to see a rim profile pic whenever someone has one to take pictures.
I only had one Krait. Champion, and was never so happy to lose a disc. My numbers on it would have been 11 4+1 4.
It might not be the Krait mold too; it was just conjecture on my part. It could easily be a mix-n-match between some existing Innova top and bottom mold pieces as well. Good point about it being a McBeth sig disc, although I'm not sure if it still is; I don't think it was in his last few itb videos nor do I remember seeing him throw it for a couple years. If you look for pics of Champ Kraits on the Internet, some of them have the sig and some don't, although I don't know if they're from before he adopted it. The pics of the Champ Krait on Innova's website do NOT have his sig, which seems telling to me.
Fwiw, I had an F2 Champ Krait which was a pretty good flyer, definitely not uber overstable like PMantle's.
Exodus, Pharoah, .... Moses? Is that the next disc from the boys in Utah?...Not knocking them, much better names than some of the oddball named discs we have seen over the years.
The Pharaoh is probably too much for my arm,
Everyone needs a disc in their bag that they rarely throw. I see so many guys in our group caught off guard by a headwind that they have no driver for. Fore right!

The question becomes, do you throw the (n+1)/5/-1/3 disc where n is the speed you're normally comfortable throwing in the calm, or do you throw the n/(x-1)/(y+1)/(z+1) disc, where x, y, and z are the glide, turn and fade you typically throw?
In other words, is it a good idea to truly "disc up" into a headwind, or just throw something with more stability but the same speed?
