[Innova] Star Katana

[Chucktown]

Is the Katana made to fit between the Boss and the Groove?

 

[jartiv]

its more understable than the Groove for sure.

My local store has roughly 6 of them in stock. Only Blue/Orange ones are left, I got the last white one. They have them priced at 19.99. I traded in 12 disc's that I wasn't using for store credit and got a Innova Red/Black bag and a White 175 Star Katana!

How does the Katana relate to a Surge?

Curious to get feedback as the Katana seems to be less stable than the Surge, yet faster.

These factors generally counterbalance.

I went up to Disc Nation in Austin last Thursday to do some Xmas shopping. They had first run Katanas for $35.99. I'd like to try one, but not at that price, WOW!

Anyone know when they'll release a general run to the public?

yea, they have bad prices on rare discs. I picked up some brand new Eco Star San Marino Rocs on discgolfu.com for $20 and shipping (which are still available) and DiscNation wanted $80 lol

when will katana be general release?

 

[Quezzy]

when will katana be general release?

Buy one and help the release! Think Innova will release a disc that no one will buy. Think of the current ones as a test dummy for the market!

Good question. The Katana has less fade, and a flight path that's generally "looser" than the Surge (borrowing the word from somebody in another Katana thread). Not sure which would give me the overall max distance, but right now I'm guessing the Katana, especially on an uphill throw.

Thanx man.
I threw a katana for the first time today. Only chucked it twice. Both times it flew very low, with an understable flight to start off, then finishing with a nice fade at the end. It was about what I expected. It is definitely faster than the Surge. It seemed like the fastest disc I've ever thrown. I may have to get one.

It seemed like the fastest disc I've ever thrown.

Innova could almost claim Speed 14 for it, but that might be gilding the lilly a bit.

Star Katanas are now available as a fundraiser for 2010 Worlds

Bought a White 168g yesterday from MarshallStreet. I throw a 167g Sidewinder as my main driver. I'm excited to try it out, based on everybody's comments.
The hotstamp looks kinda goofy, I may have to break out the acetone.

 

[Donovan]

Found them at Play It Again Sports in Fort Worth, TX USA for $19.95. Yesterday. I have only gotten to throw it once so far. Man, do I have a noodle arm!

 

[DiscJunkie]

I would throw a pink disc with Hanna Montana on it, if I thought it was going to lower my score.

Me, too.
I still think the Worlds hotstamp is ugly.
