[Innova] Slower Wraith?

[atvan]

I've heard lots of great things about the Wraith, but I want to stick with slower discs for a while. I was wondering about something that flies like a wraith, but is easier to get up to speed, especially in the fairway range, but also mids.

Thanks!

Eagle-x should do you pretty good. Champ or star w/e is your preference.

edit: a bit faster and just out of the fairwasy slot you could go with an opto striker. i found gl's to be to flippy to compare to a wraith flight.

 

[Frosty]

^Agreed. I also like to throw some slower discs and this would be my choice for a slower Wraith

 

[RoundWounds]

Opto Striker is what you're looking for. I used to throw a Z Surge but I stepped down to an Opto Striker and it's perfect, nice flat throws with a predictable fade. I still get decent distance out of it if I'm a little nose up, whereas the Surge (same thing as a Wraith) would stall out a lot quicker.

Second on the Eagle X, super consistent lines, nice and stable, with a fairly wraith-like finish

I'd say you are describing an Eagle or PD. A little bit of turn, and lots of LSS. The Striker (I prefer Gold Line) is also a good reccomendation; requires much less snap/power to get up to speed than the Wraith or really any driver speed 9+.

Q or S, OLF.

Could somebody explain the different Eagles to me? I don't get it.

Mind Expansi0n, I have noticed that about my Flow as well. Hehe seems about a speed 11 like the wraith but something about that Lat 64 seems to make them easier to get up to speed. I am unable to get good power on my Katana or even Monarch (n00b buys ), but the flow just works.

Champion Eagle.. you should probably buy 10

feel the bottom edge of the wing, if there's a notch, its an eagle-x which will be a little more stable and imho closer to what your looking for. No notch means eagle-l. Though discs mold diff cause a freind has a 10x eagle -l thats every bit as stable as the new x molds.

Teebird. Enough said.

Teebird. Enough said.

If the wraith is to fast for him then im assuming he's not going to overpower a teebird, which would cause it to have a wraith like flight. with the correct rip the teebird is just going to go straight with no high speed turn.

Now if you had said DX Teebird i might have agreed.

Ok if you want to make sure 100% that your getting an eagle-x just buy a star eagle.

here is a link to buy a star eagle (free shipping too)

I would go with a 170g+ (i personally only throw 175g eagles)

Eagle x

 

[craftsman]

Slower to faster:

Gaz/ clone/ eagle

 

[Mr. America]

Don't be afraid to try a Blizzard Wraith. Get one in the 130's!

That just made it more confusing.

 

[jcarroll]

Champion Teebird or Champion Viking

 

[Butteredtoast]

My first thought was champ Viking.

This should help explain what he means.
