Krait

The Krait is a smooth, controllable distance driver rated 11/5/-1/2, flying long and fairly straight with only a slight turn and a dependable, modest fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). Power players use it as a finesse driver or long roller, while moderate arms get a straight, long drive out of it.

Although it does not have a lot of fade, it stays effective in wind, and sidearm (forehand) throwers appreciate its resistance to turning over paired with a slow, reliable finish. That makes it a versatile control-distance driver, long and workable without the demanding overstability of a max-distance bomber. It is a shallow, beadless speed-11 rim, and it rewards a smooth release over raw power.

Approved in 2012, the Krait sits in Innova's control-distance range as a straight, finesse-oriented driver.

Champion and GStar runs hold the smooth flight and are the durable picks.
