[Innova] Similar to the Wraith

[progolfer33]

I lost my Wraith today so I'm looking for a replacement. I want something that has similar flight characteristics, but I would like it to have a thinner lip. Any suggestions?

they say the Surge is the discraft equivalent. Why not just get another wraith?

A P-PD would be similar with a smaller rim. It's about the same stability as a slightly beat-in Star Wraith with a little less turn and a little less fade. Basically, it's straighter and more controllable.

Cause he wants a smaller rim, which btw the Surge actually has a slightly larger rim.

but if he likes the wraith, why change? the discs with smaller lips are not going to be exactly the same. (although neither will a replacement wraith)

I just like the flight characteristics. Slightly high speed understable and something that cuts back hard. Just wondering if it was possible to get a similar flight with a smaller lip.

that description helps more, now I know what you like about it and what to look for. thanks

How about the QuarterK II QK II (partially suggested because it is the same speed and I have one for sale )

I have a Nuke also

funny, but a star katana flies str8, fast, and even longer than the wraith, but the wraith can take a str8/hard shot in the wind, with a dependable finish.

A surge is about the closest disc by far though

This tool might be useful for finding something similar . Look for something with a lower speed but the same stability rating and the chances are good that the rim will be narrower (but I'll let the experts sound off). That said, the Surge really is the Wraith doppelgänger.

Wraith with a narrower rim would be the Orc.

P-PD?

On the other hand if you get an Orc your life will change.

Thanks for posting this. I looked at it the other day but didn't save a copy...
Pretty valuable/informative tool!

I would agree when the Orc is new. It'll beat in straighter (lose the fade more than a beat wraith)

I would suggest one if you don't want a surge. I totally disagree with the P-PD notion - flies nothing like a wraith for me (~330-340' driver here)

I've been playing with a Wraith for a while, but I recently took it out of my bag in favor of a champ Orc to work on some technique. While the Orc probably won't fly quite as far as a Wraith, it does have similar characteristics and is a little easier to throw (in my opinion thus far).

I didn't think about the Orc before, but now that so many people have mentioned it, I'll jump on that bandwagon. I've pretty much found the Orc to be a slower Wraith.

very true, I think Orcs fade even less with age
