Katana | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

# Product Description The Innova "Katana" is designed for throwers with moderate arm speed who seek distance without maximum effort. As a Speed 13 distance driver, it achieves long flights even at a moderate pace, while its pronounced -3 turn allows for big S-curves. The fade of 3 ensures a reliable finish at the end of the flight, preventing uncontrolled drift. Available in popular plastics like Champion, Blizzard, and Star, it combines durability with various weight options—especially the lightweight Blizzard versions make it easier to achieve higher speeds. In flight, the "Katana" exhibits a noticeable turn during acceleration, resulting in a wide S-curve with a clean release. Its high glide rating of 5 noticeably extends flight time, carrying the disc far even when throw speed doesn't match its full speed potential. The strong fade at the end stabilizes the landing, preventing rollaways after the turn. Differences exist between plastics: Star versions fly more stable than DX variants, while Champion plastic offers a middle ground with long-lasting durability. The "Katana" works well for hyzer flips—a slight hyzer angle flips it into a turn before the fade kicks in. On anhyzer lines, it produces sweeping right-turning flights for right-handed backhand throws. Forehand throws require some control, as the high turn can quickly lead to turnovers. Advanced players use this disc for maximum distance on open fairways, while beginners benefit from its forgiveness and extra glide as their arm speed improves. For those seeking an alternative to ultra-fast distance drivers, the "Katana" offers an accessible option for big throws.
