[Innova] Do you have the WEDGE? (Yeah, I changed it. Don't go all Vegan Ray on me for it.)

[Frank Delicious]

lol at the title (I just saw it)

 

[smyith]

^^ya what was that all about

 

[DiscJunkie]

I have been throwing a DX Wedge for about a month now. One of my good friends, who is a very experienced and knowledgeable Disc Golfer, showed me his.
I LOVE IT!
Anyways, I went and bought and use it for almost all of my approaches from about 125' in.
Bought a Proto Star for a keeper and just bought a production Star for a thrower. We'll see how it compares to my DX Wedge before I just switch over to the Star.

I actually carry one in my bag and it works nicely as a turn over disc with nice glide

 

[jpacetime]

The stars are nice, but I like the dx also. I use the stars for 200+, and dx for under that. But if its a short hole with lots of trees I'll use the star. Both plastics are surprisingly durable.

Stars and DX
They fly almost exactly the same; when new anyhow

I just recently bought a Star Wedge after reading the reviews here. I can't wait for it to come on. It sounds like just the disc I was looking for in the range.

This disc is perfect for girls. So, if you are looking to give a girl a disc to start playing with...this is it. I mean, it was designed for kids in the EDGE program, so small hands will grasp it easily.

A new DX Wedge flight is similar on drives to a beatup DX Roc with around 50% power. The glide is really nice and with the zero fade, it is perfect for upshots. I think it's a really nice disc.

 

[billnchristy]

Yup, very much what Sue says.

 

[Gonnagal]

Lol, well that's awesome that I bought a girls disc. Anyone want a Star 175 10/10 for $12 when I get it then

 

[U_NICED_ME]

Don't say that Gonnagal, it's just shallow...kind of like an XD, any fan grip will work! And you should be able to get some good finesse out of it.

 

[Gonnagal]

That's what I was hoping for was a super straight disc and one you can finesse with. People also say the Valk is a womens disc, but I throw the heck out of that disc.

 

[EL-KABONG]

You pretty much are forced to finesse the Wedge;
As long as you don't throw it hard, it is so straight, it's damn near surreal

 

[Gonnagal]

So I got to play a couple rounds with it over the weekend. It's a great turnover disc that holds that line very well if you really get on it. If not like others have stated it's a nice and straight disc. Personally I like it, and it's staying in my bag.

 

[JamesXC]

How does it compare to the Kite? I haven't held a Wedge yet, but the descriptions I'm seeing seem pretty similar to the Kite...

 

[Garret H]

I have one -- just picked it up a few weeks ago. I like it and it will probably stay in my bag. I mostly use it for putting when I am a little too far out to feel comfortable with my Aviar (I release thinner discs better it seems). For mid-range and approach shots, I generally use my Impact -- the Wedge is like half-way in between IMO: feel/rim of the Impact, but in the gripper material of the DX Aviar. I found on longer shots, it tends to turn right initially with full power. With a light toss, it holds dead straight.

I've got a 175 DX Wedge that I've been really unimpressed with for the most part.
But, while warming up before a round throwing thumbers with several discs out of my normal rotation, I realized a potential niche for this disc.
It's a great, low-power thumber disc that doesn't take the wide, exaggerated flips and glides -- great for short, get out of trouble shots in tight, wooded spaces.
I figured I'd share this in case anyone else is looking for a specialty disc for this type of scenario.

 

[Huk Finn]

My dad just got a Wedge, he said he loves the feel and it's his new putter. He is in an experimental stage. I haven't seen it yet, but it seems like a great turnover approach disc or dead straight up shot disc..

Anyone using one regularly?

 

[EL-KABONG]

yup
For the woods, it's the goods. Straight to about 150, smooth, steady right pull from 150-200. Flip at anything above above that.
And it usually sits down pretty well

 

[DBdiscgolf]

The Wedge is quickly becoming one of my favorite discs. You can throw it softly and it will go dead straight, or you can put a little something on it and it will turn over nicely.
