Review for Metalflake Katana- Mine are max weight

Bottom Line Up Front: Its is pretty good starter distance driver because it has some flip, but its supposed to be a super long range turnover disc, which nobody really uses it for. Its probably a 3.5/5 rated disc and not a 3 or 4.

The Katana's rim is big, so it may not feel comfortable for smaller hands. I have big hands and long skinny fingers, so it feels great for me. I like the way metalflake plastic feels (basically like good Champ plastic).

The metalflake is a little less understable than the star Katanas. I like them for this reason. If you have a metalflake and want a little more flip, get a star. In my opinion the MF Katana is better than the Daedalus, which is its closest disc from the same brand. 

I guess the conception for the Katana was very high speed turnover disc for 450ft plus turnover shots. I don't know that most people who throw the Katana use it for this. From my experience, everyone I see throwing it likes them for tailwind distance shots or are beginner/intermediate because they're a lot flippier than the gold standard 12,5,-1,3 distance drivers. This isn't a bad thing. They can be a great max distance disc for a lot of players. I've even seen Garrett Gurthie throw them...like super far. 

At the end of the end of the day this is a love it or leave it disc. Try it out, they aren't expensive or that hard to find. I love them for certain shots. If you want it as a beginner distance driver that's great, but I wouldn't get it as a beginner player unless you've gotten really good with a Buzzz or something like that, and then a Teebird3 or Thunderbird.
