Katana
Innova distance driver
Simulated flight at four arm speeds
Each row is one throw in the DGFV flight model at one of the free tool's skill presets (Rec, Int, Adv, Pro): a new Star Katana at 175 g, thrown flat, right hand backhand, no wind.
| Skill preset | Speed | Carry | Peak height | Lands | 3D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rec | 54 mph | 189 ft (58 m) | 6 ft | 9 ft left | Throw |
| Int | 61 mph | 327 ft (100 m) | 13 ft | on the line | Throw |
| Adv | 64 mph | 390 ft (119 m) | 19 ft | 8 ft right | Throw |
| Pro | 70 mph | 500 ft (153 m) | 24 ft | 62 ft right | Throw |
Seen from above, thrower on the left. The side-to-side scale is stretched 1.4 times so the curve is visible.
What the simulation shows
- The turn shows from Int (61 mph) upward, up to 62 ft right at Pro. Below that it holds or fades from release.
- At Pro it is still moving right when it lands, so the fade never pulls it back.
- At Adv it lands 8 ft right; at Pro, 62 ft right.
- Going from Rec to Pro adds 312 ft of carry (189 ft to 500 ft).
- At Adv its carry ranks 223 of 420 distance drivers in the catalogue, and 19 of 36 Innova distance drivers.
Discs with similar numbers
The three catalogue molds closest to Katana on speed, glide, turn and fade without being identical, thrown the same way at Adv (64 mph), each in the plastic the free tool picks first for its maker.
| Disc | Numbers | Carry | vs Katana | Lands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aftermath Legacy | 13 / 5 / -2 / 3 | 385 ft | -5 ft | 14 ft left |
| Crank SS Discraft | 13 / 5 / -3 / 2 | 395 ft | +5 ft | 20 ft right |
| Tempest DGA | 13 / 5 / -3 / 2 | 395 ft | +5 ft | 20 ft right |
One other mold carries exactly the same numbers and flies the same line in the simulator: Nuke SS (Discraft).
Throw it yourself
The free tool opens with the Katana loaded. Change the plastic, weight, wear, wind, release angle and throwing hand, and watch the flight in 3D.

How these numbers were made
Flight numbers are the ratings carried in the DGFV disc catalogue. Distances, heights and paths come from the same flight model the free tool runs, simulated on 2026-10-31: skill preset power, nose angle and spin, automatic launch angle, no wind, ground play off, so carry is where the disc first lands. Real throws vary with form, plastic, weight and weather. DGFV is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Innova.
