[Innova] Innova Shryke

[racer93]

I have found the shoulder height much matters more than the dome. The higher shoulder, the more overstable

I found an odd one with the glow vs color glows I have. The glow's PLH was higher but was more US. I was really excited to throw it but was very disappointed. I might just go back to my echo star bosses...

PLH and shoulder are different measurements.. but the Shryke will never be good for any hyzer finish. Thats why I use Shryke for straight and turnovers and PD2 for hyzer finishes

I've seen some Shrykes that actually have a pretty good hyzer finish. I'm not talking a sharp, dumpy fade, but they will definitely drift left at the end of flight to complete the S curve.

The ideal Shryke for me will have a pretty good high speed turn followed by a healthy fade. The glow Shryke I threw yesterday had a TON of high speed turn and zero late fade. That's a loser combination right there.

Glow Shryke yesterday was 13, 5, -5, 1. WAAAYYY too much high speed turn. Worse than a Mamba.

I use pd2s for straight to hyzer, destroyers for straight and shrykes for big D, downwind. My CGs are flat but do have a decent amount of fade. Quite similar to my pro and echo star bosses.

That's what mine did.

You just described a Pharaoh flight.. same feel with a higher shoulder

can anyone give some input on the Pro Shryke?

I've been throwing a couple of domey Star Shrykes with decent results but I'm curious what flight differences there are in the Pro
(e.g. the EchoStar Tern vs a Champ Tern shows significantly less HSS, when testing the Tern I found the Echo (being a bit domier and less HSS than the Champ) was a good downwind choice)

Do the Pro Shrykes still have a good dome?
Less stability without being overly understable?
More glide than the Star?

 

[PMantle]

I have only had one Pro Shryke, and I already lost it. It beat in quick and flew most similar to a G* Shryke.

I have 2: a max weight and a 167g. The max weight stands up with little effort and is great for longggg turnovers. It compares well to my beat up stock 171g star.

The 167g though is a monster out of the box roller. It will hyzerflip to roll. No fade at all.

The dome on these are similar to stock stars.

Also, just want to mention how awesome the XXL star run was. Started out board-flat, almost destroyer-esque. I have beaten one in now to stand up and drift on max D shots. So much distance

 

[ManU]

the XXL version is the 2 birds?

I have 3 stars (the double eagle stamp, and 2 with a basket and Innova stamps (can't really describe right now...but no real reference to Shryke in the stamp)

Based on your review I will have to get a max weight Pro

 

[gammaxgoblin]

if you want a more stable shryke, check out the champ version. I have a slightly gummy blurple champ shryke and it wants to fade.

The last 2 champion Shrykes I've thrown have been fairly stable. I won't say beefy, but they'll definitely hold up to long throws without turning and burning.

Hammer them just right and you'll get the most beautiful S curves.

Champ Shrykes are definitely not flippy. Most of them at least. I have seen a couple flippy champ Shrykes. Champion seems to be the most overstable plastic for that mold.

From all of the runs of Shrykes I've thrown, this is how I would rank stability:
INNcolor Star, XXL Star, Glow Champion, Stock Champion, Mini Stamp Star, Penned Star, Color Glow Champion, Embossed Star, G-Star, Pro.

I've thrown at least 2-3 from each of those runs. The INNcolor and XXL start near beat up Star Destroyers. The Glow Champ and Stock Champ are close to fresh Sheriffs. The Mini Stamp, Penned Star, and Color Glow are the best out of the box bombers I have yet to throw of any mold ever. Then the Embossed, G-Star, and Pro are rollers out of the box.

This is at about 450' of distance so YMMV!

How does one find these? Would the INNfuse Mummy be one?

Haven't thrown the INNfuse Mummy so I'm not sure. but the INNcolor and XXL were limited runs that the factory store and DGU ran. I know Infinite Discs still has 1-2 XXL's but buy/sell pages or EBay are the best bets for finding these now.

 

[PMantle]

xxl's are pricey on ebay.

 

[EricMoul]

Very pricey. But in my opinion worth it. As they beat in, they start to gain some dome that lets it start to drift like Shrykes do, but also retain a bigger fade than stock runs.

After someone stole my Pharaoh, I had some extra Shrykes so I tuned one overstable to try to make it fly like the Pharaoh. I used one of the Shrykes with a higher shoulder that already was somewhat overstable for a Shryke. Now at a 400 ft power shot it flies like a -1/3 turn/fade. It is great and slightly more overstable than my Pharaoh was.

Just an idea if you wanted a more overstable Shryke. And yes I know some of you think this makes the disc illegal for PDGA play. I disagree with you.

The question is, how long will it last? I would guess it would require fairly regular tuning.

I am not sure.. I would assume as long as a disc that was normally like that. My other tuned discs held the shape just as if they were new that way. I am sure it will lose stability faster than normal, but I think the difference will be negligible/ not noticable
