Title: Discraft Avenger SS - What's a good Innova Comparison?
Post by: stpitner on March 19, 2008, 11:25:10 AM
I'm looking at throwing the Avenger SS for some straight shots.  For someone that has thrown it - do you have a decent Innova comparison?  The rim looks pretty similar to a Sidewinder.  Right now I try to throw a Roadrunner in similar straight shot conditions, and I tend to flip it too much.  I throw a Sidewinder and it gives me more of what I want, but it fades off too soon.  I'd try a lighter sidewinder, but I want less wind impact.  I'm hoping the Avenger SS is somewhere in between a Roadrunner and Sidewinder - agree/disagree for those who have thrown it?

Thx

When I first got some Avenger SSs I throw tested one along with a Sidewinder, a Rogue and a Surge for comparison.  I'm pretty sure I posted about that.  I found the Avenger SS to be comparable to the Sidewinder for understability, so last year I was selling the Avenger SS to players when I would otherwise have recommended the Sidewinder.  They were happy with their purchase.  I had repeat sales and referral sales from that. 

I have not thrown the Road Runner enough to compare that to a Sidewinder or an Avenger SS.

I throw Avenger SS's on straight drives and also turnover drives.  I think you are pretty close with the sidewinder, I have only thrown one a few times but it does have similar flight pattern, just doesn't seem to have the same distance as the SS.  A real beat up SS flys very well with a some hyzer and it will stand up and go forever. ;D

this probably won't help you much but i feel my star sidewinder is flippier than my avenger ss. i have an avenger ss in my bag and have had it in there for almost a here (since they came out). i find the avenger ss closer to my roadrunner. it replaced my champion roadrunner, i haven't thrown the star roadrunner.

if i throw the avenger ss flat, it stays straight with a slight turnover and very little fade. with a little hyzer it will flatten and fly pretty straight the entire flight path.
