Krait

[Frank Delicious]

It's a bad name and I probably won't buy one.

 

[turso]

it is an ok name, and I definitely won't buy one.

 

[jubuttib]

The name sounds like some sort of Katana/Wraith hybrid to me, not great but not horrible either. I hope we'll get to give it a try, it does sound interesting if it indeed performs.

for some reason I have a feeling the Millennium Aeries will be a spin off the Krait similar to the Archon/Astra. hope the krait is good in that case...

Yeah I hope it's a good disc, but the late years of innova really haven't given me any reason to expect for anything good.

Wraith/Krait. The similarity between the discs and the names may have been intentional, or they could have just picked a dumb snake name. I'm not sure there is really a need for this disc, but I like the Wraith, and the Archon and Astra are fun to throw. Speed 11 drivers are great for folks in the 350'-420' category, but they all sort of turn into the same turnover driver for anyone who throws farther than that. I'll probably give one a whirl someday, but it's not high on my list.

Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought our next disc was going to be a faster disc. Speed 12 and a bit less overstable than the Quasar. I had not heard the name Aeries before either... I must be out of the loop. :roll:

yeah you are right the next disc is the speed 12 Scorpius that I think I read is going to be mid-late May. Later in the summer is the speed 11 Aeries. they actually have the discs on their flight chart on the website

I actually like the Mill flight chart. Krait does seem extraneous. But hey whatcha gonna do?

Why is it so tempting to do an all Mill bag?

EDIT: Why don't we use the term Drift?

Why should we use the term drift?

 

[ReDisculous]

If it flies as advertised, this will probably be the first thing they've come out with in years that I will throw.

Been stuck in this range where a wraith just fades too much for quite some time so... yeah that.

 

[keltik1]

why would we use drift? it's faster to type than turnover. but we do use turn which is faster than drift. I'm just trying to keep conversation going.

Turnover is a pretty specific term though.

Yeah, drift's not really that clear on what it means as a term for DG. I didn't even realise you wanted to replace turnover with it. No thanks.

And if you're seriously so lazy that you're trying to change a term because it has couple too many letters for you to type, well...

 

[teebob]

Any good info on this disc?

I picked up one of the cfr ones and have only had a chance to throw it few times. Bottom looks very similar to mamba with a near flat wing having a turn down near the inner lip. No idea on the top. Initial thoughts are that the disc is a fairly straight flyer with some turn and a long forward fade. Havent thrown enough to see really though.

 

[Jesse B 707]

So....has anyone tossed these yet? I fondled some at PIAS today and they felt great in the hand. Is there any reason to throw these over a Wraith?

 

[booter]

these are what the archon should have been. nice and straight with gradual turn and slow late fade. reminded me of a seasoned old run star wraith i had .

 

[Vegan Ray]

My 150g Blizz Kraits are pretty much indistinguishable from 150g Blizz Wraiths.

YES, exactly. I was so disappointed with the Archon, such a flippy piece o' shit. These things fly great, out of the box, in champ plastic. It's a beautiful thing. I'd wager over time that it'll beat in to a state similar to a Sidewinder-ish flight, which will still be useful to me. The biggest complaint i've seen thus far is that they fade out hard at the end of the flight but I really can't say I've noticed it as THAT extreme. Yeah they fade out and I guess I would call it a bit more abrupt than a Wraith... Maybe not, I seriously don't notice it that much. It flies pretty damn straight 90% of the flight and maybe drops 15-20 feet left of that line fairly suddenly. It's a good disc and I hope people give it a chance.

In flight, feel or both?
