Only had it for a week, most of which was spent lost in the snow. :roll:
Initial impression is that the Innova description is dead on. Holds the release angle for it's entire flight. My anhyzers are even sweeter now......... dare I say that the ol' flat top Roc has met it's match? :shock:

I read somewhere it was described as a beadless Roc.......... feels more like a deeper, large diameter XD to me.

I've been waiting for this thread. Definitely interested to know how it compares to a Roc or Buzz (namely what angle am I throwing it at at full speed to make it go dead straight) but haven't heard anyone get one yet.

Innova is proving that there is still much development to be made in the driver catagory, and Vibram shook up the putter world this year, but I wonder if people are not checking out the Mako as the Mids are primarily dominated by Roc/Buzz loyalists. Maybe this is an oversaturation of a questionably perfected Mids market :?:

Troy loves this disc. It's all he throws for a midrange now, and he throws it well. I threw it once and didn't really like it, the rim is deeper than I like. But it does fly pretty nice.

I watched Troy nail tons of sweet shots with the Mako at Pyramids doubles, he was crushing it too.

I got one and threw it alot this past Sunday and it does stay the line it's thrown on, very straight and pretty decent glide, It's in my bag for now, but I don't know how long it will stay, I'm still working with it, but my Buzzz is still king.

As I play more rounds with the Mako I'll report back more.

It's a Comet made by Innova with a different bevel.

More of a putter like feel.....already a mainstay in my bag.
If you ain't first......your last!
