| | 12-01-23 - Mamba & Dominator | Innova has two new drivers on the way; Dominator and Mamba. According to Dave Dunipace at Innova has the Mamba lots of controllable turn, speed, and glide, it is definitely a finesse driver, difficult to throw into the wind though. It is a great roller disc and works well as a stand still driver when footing is bad, it goes a long way with very little effort. The flight rating is not set yet, but the preliminary are; Speed = 11, Glide = 5, HSS -5 and LSS 1.
The Dominator will fill the gap between the Boss and Katana. Speed and glide like the Katana, but not as much turn. The numbers will be close to 13, 5, -2 and 2 according to Dave. It is pretty much the same numbers as the Groove, but a different look and feel. No release dates are set yet. The Dominator and Mamba was approved by the PDGA yesterday.
