Directions to the green are straight forward with the Innova Star Atlas, the easy to handle mid range with tons of grip and utility.
How the Star Atlas disc feels: In the hand, it has a thin, shallow rim that’s packed with a lot of grip. Flight plate is modestly firm (less firm than the Champion or XT editions. Dome ranges from modest to noticeable.
Star Atlas Flight Numbers: 5 / 4 / 0 / 1
How the Atlas flies: The Atlas is a neutral flying large diameter mid range disc that’s easy to learn and even easier to fall in love with. Practically any line is within reach of this disc, provided the wind isn’t too severe. The Atlas benefits aren’t limited to the sky either. Its overmold design allows for a flat landing in most cases, which limits harsh skips off the fairway. After tree hits, the length of deflections are also minimized.
More about Star Overmold: With Innova’s overmold, which marries two separate plastic pieces together, you never have to choose between grip and performance. In the case of the Star Atlas, a grippy Star plastic rim is combined with a separate Star flight plate. The Atlas features four 'compass points' located on the underside of the disc, which are used for rim molding. There’s no need to question the disc's durability because the two materials are welded together. The Star Atlas flies slightly more understable than the Champion edition.

How will I throw it?: Beginner to intermediate players will see straight flights with a moderate fade at flight’s end, especially in lighter weights. Lots of versatility available here as well. Advanced players will experience straight to turnover flights from the get-go, but may overpower the disc on occasion.
