Disc I'm Tossing: Innova Star Wraith.
Three Words: Predictable. Goes. Wind-tamer (is that a word?)
The Background: I have been throwing the Star Wraith for 3 years now. Weighing in at anywhere from 154 g (DX model) up to 175 g, it is a disc that works for noobs or vets. When new they can be daunting at first, with a tendency to go a bit hard right (RHBH), but man o man once you break it in! Amazing! Expect the better plastics to break in a bit easier. Once it does this disc works great for helix shots as it flips over nicely with a steady toss. On a forehand it has some slicing ability, but is fairly predictable and levels out smooth. Expect a bad release to be decently forgiving, but it is a fast mover and will make it pretty far in whatever direction your release was in. Not a disc you want to use for a shot needing some hook. Also you seldom see it used on a slower shot. This disc wants to fly. The Wraith fades moderately, predictably, and glides with a medium trailing off, but not too long. You will "park" many shots with this disc at whatever your target is.
Overall I see this disc used very well in RHBH shots, somewhat on RHFH (but there are better). What it does is regard a nice drive in a way that is majorly satisfying. Some of my longest drives were with this mother. Another great characteristic is it's wind skills. In to the wind it is solid and usable. With any noticeable wind at your back give yourself some room because the Wraith is going for a journey!
Buy it: If your in need of precision driving through the middle of fairway.
Discgolf has been the one new force above all others when it comes to Nicks downtime activities. "I have 3 kids and a design company. It can get realllll rough dealing with the fam and clients all week if I can't make it out for at least 18 a couple times." Closing out the end of his 3rd full season, Nick has honed his skills along side his Metro Detroit based disc crew, the Disc Golf Pro Amateur Disc Golf team (Nick informed me this is not a serious name and you should laugh at it). Nick throws RHBH predominantly, but is mastering the Thumber, Tommy, and more "grudgingly," as he puts it, the RHFH shot. "I don't know why that shot has escaped any consistency from me but...it has!" Nick is a self proclaimed student of the game. He takes a serious love for facts, data, and learning the ins and outs of his passions in to disc golf. It shows. He has quickly learned the game and tosses Even or better at some of his areas best courses. Currently he plays a bag of 8-12 discs, and holds another 10 he rotates as needed. "I love all sorts of makes and styles of discs. My favorite shot is a RHBH helix with my Leopard, or a crazy tommy/thumber with my Wildfire." He hopes to bring his energy, knowledge, and solid research to you from a non-experts perspective, along side humor and experiences we can all relate to.

The first “go-to” Innova driver ever owned and broke the 400′ mark with. Seems to be one of the more popular of Innova Long Distance Drivers with players of all skill levels being a much more over-stable disc for less powerful players. Easy distance disc but some inconsistent runs from understable for nice hyzer flips to very overstable for easy flat flex shots. Avery Jenkin’s says, ““A very fast, ultra long range distance driver that maximizes distance shots. I use this disc for long range straight, stable driver and longer turn over shots, it also makes a great long distance roller. It is a very controllable distance disc that is great for players of all skill levels from Amateur to Professional.” — and sums it up pretty well!

The first time I threw a Wraith, I knew that my game was going to change dramatically. This disc is simply the most amazing distance driver ever made (IMHO of course). Owned in different plastics, this disc can beat into a turn-over driver, be an overstable headwind driver, or fly dead straight. I can put these out to 400′ on a good rip, and thrown flat they will lean slightly to the right (rhbh), then start to fade back gliding for a LONG ways to the ground.
The rim is just wide enough to get that speed that’s needed to get a good long shot down the fairway, but stops short of being uncomfortable in the hand.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:
