Stingray review


One of my favorite mid range discs is the super stingray and the regular stingray disc.  The stingray is an old model that Innova has produced for years.  Before the specific production of mid range drivers, the stingray was considered a mid range driver.  Both models have a lot of glide.  This disc will hold and line and continue on that path for a long time.  This means that a very straight throw will stay straight for a long time because of the glide and stability.  The disc is understable (the super model is slightly more stable) and will easily turn if enough angle is put on it. The low fade that each model has makes sure that when the disc slows down and is using glide to gain more distance, the disc will not finish or tail off very far to the right. This disc can be used to approach and I normally use mine as a second shot when my disc is further than 80 feet from the basket in reasonable wind conditions.  Due to the glide these models have in a tailwind I could throw one of these around 400 feet with solid form.  My favorite place to use this disc is one a tight wooded course with a short distance to the pin.  Throwing the stingray with a lot of spin will cause it to go in a very straight line. If your shot is online away from the trees, it is very likely to stay on that path.  I would rate these discs both five stars.  The best understable approach disc that can be used in a variety of situations even in moderate wind.
