[Innova] Innova Stud: New PnA
- Thread starter jcassidy1990
- Start date
I did go out and throw 2 of the 3 that I got. It was fairly windy yesterday. (gusts around 20 mph) They are more stable than the production star ones that I have. They handle the wind well. I will still do a full review after I get uot and throw them more.

Stud throws fairly straight for me even with decent power and finishes with moderate to mild fade. The Breaker & Zone would be more overstable.
I bag either a Colt or Stud along with a Zone to cover my short approach stability range.

Sweet. Thanks for the help. Sounds like it is still useful.

I haven't thrown a Ringer or Breaker, but I have an ESP Zone. The Zone is (much) more overstable than a Stud. The Stud's V-tech underside keeps it straighter than one would normally expect; I learned that through experience when I threw the Stud expecting it to hyzer and it fought out of the hard hyzer.
The Zone is in the Harp and Gator arena. The Stud doesn't fade that much...
Someday Innova will get around to putting the Rhyno top on the Stud wing. I'm hoping it will be overstable.

It won't be. The V-tech is what keeps the Stud from being more OS than it is. Maybe an Aviar3 or AviarX3 would be in the ballpark of what you're looking for.

My Star Studs (and Star Colts) have the patent numbers on them.

This is just stupid. V-tech is a marketing ploy. High plh v-tech is overstable. Low plh v-tech is not.
I forgot about the Hawg.

Disagree that V-tech is only a marketing ploy. But marketing ploy or not, I just know that my all my Star Studs resist fading as much as I expected them to. But the OP can try it out for himself and see.

I know what you mean, I was simply asking if anybody uses a Discraft Impact and for what, I got the majority saying they use that or Innova Wombat/Wombat 3, their version of the Discraft Impact, to do a tunnel shot. The last 10% I felt were trying to force me to switch to a Buzz. I Said to them even though I like flight of the buzz the Impact was a disc I found had more use to me in tunnel shots and shots a midrange is not enough but a fairway driver is too much on holes that go straight or are more open holes. Even after that they were still trying to force me to switch to a Buzz even though I told them have the Shark for that type of distance of shot. Even after that last bit about Sharks I had one or two still say a Buzz is what I should throw instead of an Impact, trying to force me into using a Buzz and trying to get me to drop the Shark.
these felt great in the hand. flew well on my initial field tests. problem is I have limited space in my bag and it just never has been able to take the place of something else.
I got some tacky xt runs that most likely will get a spot on a day when the humidity is up and temp down.

I love the Star Stud for certain drives. There's a downhill dogleg-right hole on my home course that I throw the Star Stud on, and it turns over, drifts right, then may or may not fight back out of it, depending on the wind.. The Stud replaced the Lucid Judge and Opto Pure as my favorite discs there.
On another hole on that course, three trees are right down the middle, so I throw the Stud, watch it drift right of the trees, then come back to the basket behind those trees.

I like when a disc does that takes more then one shot in the bag. My Max weight 175 gram Sharks did something similar, took the place of a driving putter and do From midrange to approach shot with doing putter with the old Pro Plastic disc on very windy days.
I've been using Colts for a little while, the prototype Colts are really great and I also like the production ones in calm condition or with a tailwind. After reading about the Stud I bought two of them to compare, one XT and one Star, both 175g. Now I have to wait for them....
