The Manta is a glidey, understable-leaning midrange rated 5/5/-2/1, a VTech version of the Stingray built to offer more control. It has a gentle turn to the right (for a right-handed backhand) when thrown with power and a smooth, straight glide when thrown flat with moderate power. That easy, forgiving flight is the appeal: it turns and glides for developing arms and holds straight, controllable lines for finesse shots, which makes it a good beginner mid and a natural pick for players who want a broken-in, understable feel out of the box. The VTech rim gives it added torque resistance for a comfortable release. It is a beadless mid. Because it leans understable, it is not a wind-fighting or overstable finishing mid; it favors touch and straight-to-turning lines. Approved in 2017, the Manta is Innova's more controllable, VTech evolution of the classic Stingray. DX beats toward more turn over time; firmer runs hold the rated flight longer.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
