Anybody tried the Innova Mako yet? New midrange listed with 0 turn and 0 fade. Thinking about getting one as a straight, gapshooter, but not much info yet to go off of. Experiences form those who have used one?

You'd probably have better luck getting less fade out of it than me, but I love it(more experienced). Very nice if you want to just barely toss it, I've done some slight anhyzer shots that fade back just in time to land(very very light/slow speed throw). Just love the thing, holds a line so well. Seems to have a good amount of glide too.
Also I take it you read through the other main mako thread. Seemed to be lots of people disappointed with it or the fact that theirs said CY on the bottom n such.

It does fly 0,0 more like 0,1 if you hyzer flip it, otherwise, it's -2 turn. Very similar to a Coyote, a bit more understable.
You will not find a better pure straight midrange and it basically does exactly what Innova says it will do. Put it on a hyzer it holds a hyzer, put it on an anny it holds and anny, and if if you throw it straight you guessed it, it flys straight. I love that disc.

So is this thing pretty much a buzzz?

negative, probably flies more like a comet in discraft terms.
You know at first I would have said yeah. But it really isn't like a Buzzz. A Buzzz is stable on the back end where the Mako has almost no fade. The Mako also seems to have more glide.
I like mine ok, it is similar to the Coyote, just a touch more stable. If I throw it hard it starts to flip, if I take a little off it fades a little at the end- I have trouble getting it to fly perfectly straight (unlike a putter or my Aurora MS), but it is still pretty close. It is on the longer end of the Innova mid-range army.
Mine is a Star. I would rate it as: turn 0 to -.5, fade 0 to 0.5
I would definitely recommend it to somebody just starting or without many discs. But if you already own a Shark, Coyote, Roc, Skeeter, and Cro then I would probably pass unless you wanted to get to replace about 3-4 of the others!

I am sticking with my discraft mids
A Coyote has a flight rating of -1 / +1 so its pretty close. I have two Star Coyotes , and they fly quite straight, with little to no fade. The Champ Coyote does have more fade.

Star Mako is the SHIZ. My dad bought one and I love the thing. Everybody that's even tried throwing it has loved it.
They sell for 25$ at most stores right now but ebay has them for like 13.

Small like a Cro.
Did you already forget that you threw my Mako and liked it?

From what I've seen, the only reason they're selling for $25 is because they're first runs. Once Innova releases the normal run, they'll be back down to normal prices, or at least, that's my assumption.

I like the sound of that, the Cro is my main mid. Is the lip similar too or just the small diameter?
The lip is similar but more rounded I find the release to be very similar to a Cro.
It is not small like the CRO. It is the same diameter as a ROC, just no bead. I have a first run and it is not quite as domey as my star Roc but the same diameter.
The Cro and Skeeter are both small diameter mids which feel different than a Mako in your hand. The lip on a mako is similar to a cro though but it is a larger disc.
I'm a big fan of the Mako. I bought it to replace my Buzzz. I like the feel of it - rounded, blunt rim feels nice in my hand in comparison to Roc/Buzzz. The flight of it makes me take all of my mid-range discs out of my bag and just use the Mako. It does everything I want it to do.
