Innova Manta

Innova Manta – Finesse Midrange with Smooth Glide and Turn

The Innova Manta is a control-focused midrange that bridges the gap between straight flyers and beginner-friendly turnover discs. With flight ratings of 5 | 5 | -2 | 1, it delivers high glide with just enough turn to shape smooth, accurate lines. Whether you’re learning the game or want a touchy mid for touch anhyzers and hyzer flips, the Manta brings a reliable, forgiving option to your bag.

Built using Innova’s VTech technology—first seen in the VRoc—the Manta is essentially a refined version of the classic Stingray. It’s designed for a straighter, more controllable flight and enhanced comfort in the hand. Throw it flat with moderate power and it will glide straight; throw it with more power and you’ll get a gentle, manageable turn without fear of flipping too hard.

Why Throw the Manta?

• Beginner Friendly: Very forgiving with excellent glide and controllable turn.
• Finesse and Control: Ideal for slower arm speeds, turnover approaches, and low-power technical shots.
• Modern Stingray Feel: Offers a similar flight to the Stingray but with more stability and consistency thanks to VTech shaping.

Flight Ratings:

• Speed: 5
• Glide: 5
• Turn: -2
• Fade: 1

Who Should Throw the Manta?

• Beginners: A great entry-level midrange for those learning to control angles and build confidence.
• Touch Throwers: Perfect for players who use finesse and angle manipulation to shape lines.
• Hyzer Flip Fans: The Manta’s turn and glide make it a great option for flip-up shots on wooded fairways.
• Stingray Lovers: If you’ve thrown the Stingray before, the Manta offers a slightly more stable alternative.

FAQs

Q: What’s the difference between the Manta and the Stingray?

A: It’s not designed for high-speed forehands, but with touch and proper form, it can work well for short finesse flicks and touchy lines.
