[Innova] consistency of wraith?

[gang1027]

ive been playing for a lil while and feel some loyalty to innova and love the wraith, but only like one out of 3 of the wraiths ive used fly like they are supposed to, some flip like crazy and others have almost no turn at all, its frustrating cuz i cant buy them online cuz theres a chance itll not fly correct...any opinions on why this is or if its me?

What kind of plastic are you using?

I carry 2-5 Wraiths depending on the course. I love it!

Check the PLH thread. It will probably be the answer to your questions.

I used and loved the Wraith for a couple years but had the same issue with consistency. I now carry an ESP Surge and a beat Z Surge instead and have no regrets making the switch. Essentially the same disc...

 

[GLong]

what plastics/weights? FH or BH?

 

[gang1027]

the one i love is star 168 the other one i keep around is champion and is the one ive had trouble with its 171

Anything he contibuted is nil because he uses fh....

I know you were joking, but it is partially true. It is extremely hard to get the BH flight characteristics (which are those that are advertised) out of a FH throw. The differences in arm speed and snap create a different flight pattern. That is why some people say to learn annys/turnovers and FH. Marmoset is most likely right on the reason that they don't all fly the same for you though. Check his thread!

 

[GLong]

I generally use a fresh-er wraith for FH shots because I have found that once they get broken in, the HSS makes them a little squirrely if you dont throw them with a little hyzer. I carry a freshie for FH and a nice broken-in one for BH.

Wraith has been goto driver for a while and switched from beat up star to newer one and both fly almost the same. Beat little more turn cuz it's hammered

 

[Greenstezz]

I have 3 Wraiths in my bag, all fly the same.

i cant vouch for anything other than champion, but (for me) this disc is exactly the same every time i've bought one, or borrowed on.

i'm one to call this disc the epitome of consistency as it's identical every throw... maybe the problem is on your end with overpowering it, incorrect release angles or OAT.

 

[nojjjj]

Friend throws a Wraith exclusively. Shoots better than me normally, but always shoots 100ft to the right (hes rhbh) for it to hyzer in.

Should I feel bad he beats me? (he only beats me on the wide open course, took him to a wooded one and after he was +7 on me he was pissed off saying how he hated the course)

 

[grube.fresh]

i find the wraith to be one of the most consistent molds. for me new wraiths are a little too stable, worn ones are perfect, and beat ones will fly forever downwind and should be used just for that shot. learning your discs is better than switching just because flight has become more understable. most people carry multiple same molds for just this reason.

 

[TxDiscGolfBoy]

I would agree on the consistancy of Wraiths being better than a lot of molds.

Out of the box, the levels of stableness/understability are different per plastic...Champ-Star-Pro-DX....in that order, Champ being the most stable out of the box, but in time, the more durable plastics will beat in and eventually have the flight that all Wraith users love.

That's my experience. I always carry 2-3, not only because of the difference in worn-in-ness, but it's the disc I lose the most.

 

[SirRaph]

Is there any noticeable difference in the domes?

 

[neocenturion]

...but it's the disc I lose the most.

I hear ya. Last month I lost 4 discs, all wraiths. So I promptly went out and bought 4 more. So far so good with this set.

 

[himynameismatt]

In my limited experience I've noticed this as well there is a lack of consistency between Wraiths, not on a mold per mold basis but more on a plastic to plastic basis.

The DX, Pro, and Champ fly so differently for me they might as well be labeled as different discs.
