by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-PR-KAT (REF1322 *AST**4)
Description
The Innova Pro Katana distance driver is a high-speed driver built with the finesse thrower in mind, molded in Pro plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on downwind distance. If you're shopping for a dependable Katana for your bag, this Pro run is a great place to start.
Pro Plastic
Innova's Pro plastics are known for their grip; Innova describes Star as combining Champion durability with the superior grip of Pro plastic. The grip-focused Pro family also includes KC Pro, JK Pro, and R-Pro.
The Mold
The Katana is built with the finesse thrower in mind, and Innova recommends it as a downwind driver.
Stability
The Katana is stable-to-understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
