Innova Star Mamba
The Mamba is a max-distance triple threat: its understable flight produces long turnover flights with minimal effort, it’s high glide extends its time in flight, and its low fade ensures a long, straight finish.
The Mamba is one of the easiest drivers to throw FAR, and also ranks as our #1 pick for an understable utility driver, perfect for anhyzers, long S-Shots, and distance rollers.
Flight Ratings and Analysis
| SPEED | GLIDE | TURN | FADE |
| 11 | 6 | -5 | 1 |
| Distance Driver, 2.1cm Rim | Very high Glide to extend flight time | Very understable; turns over very easily | Long, straight finish |
Extreme understability combined with ultra-high Glide deliver superior distance at moderate release velocities.
Ideal Weight Classes
145-159g: Adds light-weighting to the Mamba’s high Glide to produce the longest, floating flights with minimal effort.
160-164g: Provides a balance between super light weighting and the heavy-weight max-control options.
170-175g: Provides the most control, but also requires the most power. Even at this weight, however, the Mamba is reasonably easy to throw far.
Why Star Plastic?
The durable (and slightly overstable) Star plastic will help prevent the Mamba from becoming too Understable over time, maintaining ideal “out of the box” performance.
Competition Approvals
PDGA Certification Documentation
Manufacturer’s Description
“The Mamba has more high speed turn than any of our long range drivers, so throwing into a headwind is not recommended. For those with less driving speed, it will add distance. For the medium armed crowd, it will shape long lines for turnovers and straight shots, as well as hyzer flips and even big rolls.” Source

Only played with it once so far, but so far it’s awesome!

Nothing I’ve found flies further for me than this Mamba. Use with care on windy days, though. Crosswinds are fine, but headwinds and tailwinds significantly affect the amount if flip you get. In fact, never throw this disc into a headwind.
That said, with the Mamba I can finally walk up to my drive and stand near my friends’ drives, instead of everybody having to wait for me to throw and catch-up to where their drives landed.
On windy days I use the Valkyrie. It doesn’t go as far for me, but I’d rather be shorter and in the fairway than long and in the trees!

Both the communication and delivery of my golf discs were OUTSTANDING! Bart was considerate enough to TEXT me personally prior to shipment to notify me 2 colors I chose (I ordered 7 different discs) were unavailable along with different color options (which turned out to be better!). In terms of on-line shopping, this was one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had!

After 15 years away from disc golf and exploding my shoulder in a motorcycle accident, I found I was a 225-250′ thrower instead of my old 300′ self. With Best Disc Golf Disc’s suggestion I found the Star Mamba lengthened me back out to 280′ or so. I’m turning 50 next year and accept I can’t throw as hard as I used to, but given some helpful YouTube videos by BDGD and recommended Mamba I’m flirting with 300′ again! Thanks Bart.

Hey Bart,
Your service was great! The shipping was quick and the flow of information was excellent. I have only thrown the disc once so far but upon arrival it was just what I expected. The koozie is a nice addition!
Thanks,
Ken
