Discs that fly like the Innova Champion Discs Katana
The Katana is a understable driver (13/5/-3/3). A wide-rimmed distance driver with real high-speed turn and a stronger late fade than most understable drivers. It needs a lot of arm speed to fly its intended turn-and-fade line and isn't a good pick for newer or low-power players, who mostly see the fade. Champion copies tend to fly noticeably firmer than Star or DX, and run-to-run stability is notoriously inconsistent.
These are the most widely thrown discs that fly closest to it, ranked by flight numbers, real-world stability and what players use them for. Highlighted numbers differ from the Katana.
