The Vulcan is a fast, understable distance driver rated 13/5/-4/2, built to help less powerful players throw big, shaped distance lines: it turns readily to the right (for a right-handed backhand) and glides far before a gentle fade. Innova designed it as a light, long driver for developing arms. Its deep high-speed turn and light weights are the appeal, giving lower-power players reach and stronger players a sweeping turnover or hyzer-flip line. Innova compares its flight to the Katana with less low-speed fade, and it doubles as an easy long roller. It comes in notably light weights for maximum distance. It is a shallow, beadless speed-13 rim. Thrown flat with power it will flip and roll, so it favors a smooth release. Approved in 2010, the Vulcan is one of Innova's understable distance options for finesse and lower-power throwers. Star runs fly the most understable and light; Innova notes the Champion Vulcan flies a touch more stable.

HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
1.4 cm
Rim DepthHow deep the rim is underneath, where your fingers grip. Putters have the deepest rims.
1.1 cm
Rim ThicknessHow wide the rim is. Wider rims make faster discs that need a stronger throw.
2.4 cm
Rim Inside DiameterThe width of the flat middle, inside the rim. Bigger usually means a slower, easier disc.
16.4 cm
Rim Depth/Diameter RatioRim depth as a share of the disc's width. Higher means a deeper rim for its size.
5.2%
Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.

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.
