The Innova Star Mamba (Reaper Edition) carries our flame vortex stamp on the most understable high speed driver Innova makes. Star plastic keeps the grip confident while this mold does what it does best: turn over fast and glide a long way.

Flight Numbers: 11 / 6 / -5 / 1

Star plastic grips well across most weather and wears in gradually, so the extreme turn stays useful for a long time instead of settling into something more stable too quickly. Lighter weight Star Mambas turn over even easier, which is worth knowing if you are buying one specifically to fight a natural fade.

An experienced arm will drive this thing straight into the ground or into a full roller if thrown flat and hard, so it is not a disc for tunnel shots or precise fairways. It shines on tailwind holes, wide open turnover shots, and as a training tool for players who are still learning what understable actually means. Slower arms get some of the most reliable distance in the Innova lineup here, since the disc does the turning for you.

Best for beginners and intermediate players who need help getting a disc to turn over, or anyone who wants a dedicated roller. Bigger arms should treat it as a specialty tool rather than an everyday driver.

Want a softer, more flexible version of this same flight? The GStar Mamba grips better in the cold. See our understable distance drivers, or compare it to the Star Sidewinder.
