Innova Wraith Review
With enough power behind it, the Wraith will have a slight turn to it before ending with a strong, reliable fade. It is an excellent disc to reach for for both forehand and backhand drives that need a lot of distance. The Wraith will also hold a straight, consistent flight into a headwind.
- Fast, Overstable Flight
- Excellent Wind Fighter
- ‘Baby Destroyer’
