[Innova] Champion Mamba review

[Shmacka]

150 g mamba. Pearly purple. Love, love, love. I haven't hit 300' on the graduated middle school field where I practice. I have parked that bomb-a on 3 different holes in the 250'-300' range this week!!! I overthrew #3 at Harlow Platts in Boulder a few times. Yes, it is a downhill shot, but it is soooooo sweet to crush one there.

I don' believe in "good" or "bad" discs, but this 'un is a good fit for me!

i have a max weight mamba, i cannot get it to consistanly fly, but when i let it go with the right amount of hyzer it flips ups turns right glides and ces back it the farthest disc i ahve thrown about 450' i am 6'7" 250 and i have a big arm. i can see this disc really being used once i get more consistant(only been playing 4-5 months)

Just picked up a 150 Champ Mamba in my journey to lightweight discs, and holy distance is it easy to throw. I think it's going to take a while for me to learn to shape any lines with, but on a calm day with open distance, this bad boy will be coming out for sure. Definitely curious to see when they start mass producing the Star version.

Sounds like someone has a bad case of the OATs.

My local shop said the stock stamp Star Mambas and Terns will be in next week. :hfive:

I don't understand why so many people only insist on throwing heavy discs. With clean form, the same effect can be achieved with lighter discs with less effort.

I threw a 156g Champ Mamba the other day that was not understable at all. I would say -1 turn at best.

Good job Innova.

what color was it?

I have a buddy how throws his ~300 deadly accurate for all kinds of shots. It's his favorite disc and go-to driver.

Ive been throwing a pink 170 mamba since they first came out. If you throw it level it turns over nicely and holds the line. If you throw it with a higher anhyzer it will S-curve. For someone with a weaker arm, like myself, the Mamba has been a great addition to my bag. I do have to say it is harder to control for shorter shots, for the shorter shots I've been starting to use an Archangel again, it has a similar flight pattern but its a 8 speed driver.

Those things are as long as anything I have ever thrown in a heavy downwind. Glide forever.

I bought a pink 175g one for my buddy. He was throwing this beat archangel that was a dull, dark red and I was pretty tired of helping him search for that pos. He threw the Mamba for quite a while and had better results with it.

He throws 300-350. I tried it after I bought it...it turned into a roller for me, even when thrown at around a 70 degree hyzer angle. It's avoid the flippiest disc I've ever thrown. And I regularly hyzer flip roadrunners, stingrays and leopards.

He stopped throwing the Mamba after I gave him a blizzard Boss I bought to try out. That was the second flippiest disc I've ever thrown. I think it was around 150g.

Anyways; the Mamba is certainly an easy to throw disc for people with less arm speed. It's always my recommendation for newer players. I wish I had one when I started. I bought a max weight champion Destroyer because the plastic looked good and the name was suggestive of huge distance. The only disc I could think of that would have been worse to start with would be an Ape.

For me the Champ Mamba is the most versatile disc in my bag. I use 150g and 175g weights. For distance, and tail winds, I use the lighter disc. For accuracy and headwinds I use the heavier disc. I can throw it 300ft effortlessly from a stand still. PERFECT for dog leg tree, tunnel, shots. If I need it to s around a few trees, throw it slightly higher on an anny and it flies a gorgeous s pattern. For s shots, I throw it no more than probably 60-80% power.

The key thing for me about this disc is the distance it travels without having to throw full strength. It's awesome to have a 300ft+ throw in the bag from a stand still. Long approaches with anny, around trees, etc, is where this disc excels.

I bought one a week ago exactly for the shot you describe. I was having trouble with looong dog leg right turning shots. A 150 Star Mamba gives me that shot easily.
