[Innova] Innova Star FL

[richardmmill]

Just got one in a trade. Any thoughts? experience with the FL?

 

[mambrose]

Never thrown one, however it seems like firebirds are good because there so overstable, making them less overstable dosent seem like a good idea to me

Was a decent over hand disc but other then that it was garbage.

i had a pro FL for about 5 months .... i see like a slightly more controllable firebird or for those who need a firebird-ish disc but arent throwing with as much arm speed. reliable fade, not bad in the wind, a bit of high speed turn. maybe like a slower starfire?

I didn't even know they made an FL in pro....hmmm. FL is a good sidearm disc and I haven't used it too much backhand to comment on it. If you need a little more distance and less fade then a firebird then it is perfect.

Used one for sidearm, it was a nice complement to my Starfire b/c it didn't skip as much.

Love it, love it, love it!
It is a great sidearm disc...I find it's longer and more controllable than a regular firebird. It's my overstable disc of choice...if I'm not sure I can hit it with my Starfire, I use the FL...

 

[richardmmill]

Well I got it and its been used so I think I might break it in a little bit and try to use it as a easy fairway driver. My forehand discs are xcaliber and max.

I believe all firebirds in pro are actually FLs.

Kinda like a TL that you can't flip as easily with a little more fade at the end. Nice and straight, but not much glide. Nothing like a firebird.

It's a great intermediate forehand and overhand disc. Very reliable flightpath.

I have a max weight Star FL that lives in a box. Its just a slow lumbering hyzer disc for me. I cant throw it forehand because it doesnt sit up on my fingers nicely like a Destroyer or Xcal does.

The faster Teerex, which I have in Star as well, is a better long hyzer disc for me, with much better glide than the FL.

Maybe you should try a lighter one? I used to always throw max weight and my game really suffered...I lightened everything out and discovered some discs I previously hated were now very reliable. Most of my discs weigh in between 165-170...just a thought...

I do throw more light weight discs than heavy, and my lighter discs do go farther, but, when I was out looking for new discs, that was the lowest weight they had at the time. I was really interested in trying some more stable discs, so I picked it up.
Live and learn.

The only one weird glitch I have is my Valkyries.
I own and throw a
147 gram DX
150 gram Star
161 gram Star
167 gram Champ 5X
168 gram Champ 5X
172 gram Champ 5X
and a 175 gram Champ 5X

The max weight goes the farthest.

if its at all like a tl i will try one out i hate fire birds i got one cause the name and traded that week

Blast from the past.

Got my Star FL out today in 20-30 mph wind. It chewed em up and spat em out. Is this disc really OOP?

 

[Ted Bratton]

The trident is an exact copy of an FL by the way, great disc.

Not to disagree, but FL seemed a lot longer to me than Trident, although I've never thrown a Trident in strong wind. Trident is way overstable, whereas an FL is a watered down Firebird....

I always thought the Trident was a Banshee clone.
