[Innova] Star katana

[Dglaxbrad]

So I recently purchased a star katana and it has the stats -2 turn 3 fade in the print on the disc instead of the regular -3 turn 3 fade...did I get a misprint or some other type of katana that I didn't not know about?? Please help me!!!

Star plastic is more overstable

Star Katana? Never seen one with out the -3,3 numbers. Pic?

 

[primal dg]

Ik champions have -2, 3

 

[DannyThunders]

I think Innova is starting to recognize the flight paths of their molds in diff plastics

 

[LeBryson James]

I know that there are a ton of variations of the Katana mold

the flat tops are like -1,4

 

[primal dg]

Yeah they did the same thing with the boss. I had a champion -1, 3 and just bought another 0, 3 high grade plastic is more overstable

IRRC the Bosses were first rated at 0, 3 because there was nothing more stable than them at the time, then the Ape came out with more HSS and they changed the Boss's numbers. Could be wrong tho.

Our Academy has both -3 3 and -2 3 in Star right now. No idea what's going on with that.

Speaking of the Ape, I was just thinking there needs to be a Star version, or Starlite.
Somebody wanna zip over to the Ask Dave D thread and see if its in the works ?

 

[Dglaxbrad]

Thanks guys I really appreciate the feed back on that!!

Bought my star katana last year. -3, 3 numbers for me.

I've had Champion Katanas and only 1 star Katana but my experience was that the Star was MUCH more overstable than the Champions...

Katana has been my driver of choice for sweet S curves for over a year. I haven't thrown a current production Star for over a year now, but by two champs are definitely more overstable than my first run startanas. Though, I don't throw the champs at all really. I have a flippy Pro for flippy distance drives, and a 1st run startana for really long S curves.. The Prodigy D4 is everything I wanted my Champ Katanas to be.

 

[elnino]

so the D4 is a katana? i might need to try it out.

i really like the pro katana...is this still produced? i have a proto star one and it flies great just wondering if i should stick with katanas or go with antoher mold like D4.

I have thrown Star Katanas that didn't seem to have any turn to them at all.

The Boss had -1, 3 on them before the Ape even came out. Lately, they changed the numbers to 0, 3 on the Champ Bosses because champ is more overstable, but they are now MUCH more flippy than the old ones...That's Innova for ya.

I've thrown a 150g Blizz Ape before. It had some turn and didn't fade super hard like an Ape should. I only threw it a few times though so I'm no expert.

These are the best katanas IMO. They beat in very nicely and stay in the sweet spot for a long time.
