What Innova say: The Savant is a speed 9 driver with plenty of glide and a predictable, smooth fade. It flies like an Eagle, only faster!
An excellent stable to slightly overstable fairway driver, the Star Savant provides an option similar to the Thunderbird with extra glide and less fade. For players throwing an Eagle as a primary driver and wanting a disc that can take more speed and power—and offer more distance—they should look to the Savant. For Wraith lovers, the Savant has a similar flight when thrown with less power.
Innova Savant (Champion)
Think of the new Savant as Innova's response to the magnificent Latitude 64 Saint (9 7 -1 2), and you'll be on target. Feeling identical in the hand, there are only minimal differences; the flightplate of the Savant has a very slight change in angle 16mm behind the Parting Line. (You can see this in the photos of the Star Savant.)
This probably explains the slightly lower glide of the Savant compared to the Saint.
And so the choice is simple: Do you want absolute maximum distance with accuracy (Saint), or do you want absolute best ranging ability with accuracy (Savant)?
In Star plastic Savant has a gentle dome which pops nicely, and has the usual level of Star grip, is quite stiff, and has a lustrous glossy finish as the mold has been polished mirror-smooth.
Good work, Innova: Recommended!
