I have been out of "Innovaland" for quite some time...I recently bought a Star Teebird and a Roc and have never played better...I found a max weight Star Wraith yesterday and threw it a few times before calling the owner....I was expecting it to be like a 169 champ I had a year ago but I was way wrong...the star flattens out, turns just a hair and comes back gently....I was only getting it about 35 feet longer than my Teebird, but I look forward to buying one that is a bit lighter...Anybody use the stars for your main distance driver?
I alternate between a 161g domey Star Wraith, a 175g Star Valkyrie, a 173g ESP Avenger SS, and a 167g Star Sidewinder for my primary distance drivers. The Valkyrie goes furthest for me, but the others are only shorter by about 20 or so ft (I have between 300-330 ft of distance potential throwing backhand, depending on the day). I've had all these discs for a while and they haven't really beat in much at all despite much abuse.
I use the star wraith for several throws...I throw it for hyzer flips when playing into the wind. I also huck it when I feel like I might over-power/turn-over my valkyrie, since it is a tad more stable. I also can obtain long slowly fading hyzers from the wraith for gradually turning fairways. The star wraith also has a nice skip when it hits a flat patch of ground, which can be quite useful (though not as big a skip as the Boss...which is the king skipper in my bag).
PS...I also have a 175g Star Wraith from an older run. It flies somewhat differently (much more stable), but also a great disc.
