Choose it for
Turnovers, rollers and tailwind distance. Innova lists tailwind shots, turnover shots and out-of-the-box rollers as its best uses.
Choose something else if…
You want a driver that flies straight for you. Unless your arm is slow, a Mamba thrown flat will keep turning right.
What the Mamba flight numbers mean
Turn -5 is the most turn Innova’s scale allows. For a right-handed backhand the Mamba banks right early, and the 1 fade gives only a small correction at the end.
