[Innova] Star Katana
- Thread starter ChaseTheAce
- Start date
given this chart.... it flies like a beast.... (Beast Rating: 10,5,-2,2 - Katana: 13,5,-3,3)
and (hypotetically speaking) -
if you throw a beast 300' you could expect another 25-30, out of the box?
if that's right, i am not sure it will beat my SL. (you know i will buy one and surely try... =-)
can someone confirm?
I have thrown all three discs and I think comparing the flight pattern of a Katana to Beast is somewhat comparable. The only difference being that the Katana is way, way faster and much longer. If your throwing a beast 300 expect to throw a Katana closer to 350 and its a much longer disc than a SL.

Well the reason I said six was because(Being new) I have only seen 1 disc rated above a 5 and that was the archangel. If it's been discontinued before late this summer I likely don't know about that disc.
Kite is a 6 too.

The Aero, Archangel, Kite and Groove are the only 6 rated glides Innova has.

great review...
thanks....
To me, based on your words, it seems to require a good deal of open space to travel. i am not sure it will replace my SL, but it will be a great compliment my Boss and Wraith.

from experience,
how long does it take Innova to stabilize their runs and make consistent discs?
i am concerned that the disc i buy today will not be the same as when i need to replace it.
Consistency is my #1 priority. Being able to "plug and play" a disc is key. obviously some like Roc's need work and there is a "beating in" process, but overall my methodology is to stick with what i know, and experiment as necessary.For me, the Katana is an experiment that may (or may not) replace a disc in my bag.

You are absolutely right, the Katana is made for big open holes, where it can stretch its legs and run.
That my friend is the magic question, it seems the only thing Innova is consistent about is inconsistent runs.
dunno bout anyone else, but the 'longer sidewinder' description sounds like it'd be great for me...
I want a katana (orange 167 ) but I cant really use it till spring anyway unless I throw it in the snow and thats not happening. Im waiting to find one a little cheaper than 20-25$ too. I love sidewinders and roadrunners so it does sound interesting. For now im gonna stock up on putters, I can use them in the basement on my basket. I want to pick up some putters I dont currently have, Ive got about 10 different putters right now.

i don't think you will find them cheaper than $20 because they are a fundraiser for worlds
Yeah I kinda figured that, I have a few drivers on my wish list but like I said in the previous post its winter and so its time for working on putts in the basement and acquiring putters, ill start picking up new drivers in the early spring. I might get one of the fund raiser katanas though before then, Hearing that they are a faster sidewinder is an intriguing statement.

Like a previous poster inquired I think its more like a faster Beast or Valk.
