Nuke vs. Katana

Some of you might know me as an all discraft guy, which I still am essentially, but I've been trying to expand my horizons and start to throw a some innova drivers here and there in practice rounds. Just pre-ordered a nuke, and will buy a katana next Sunday.

So, question is, what are the differences? Anyone know the speed of the nuke? Glide of either? Total distance? Can't wait to throw either of these babies!

I saw a couple nuke's thrown this weekend and was very impressed.I have to get one in a similiar weight and plastic as my japan open pro katana which i love .yes it's flippy in a headwind but thrown with hyser and 80% power and it will go 400+ for me .i had a drive yesterday with a katana that beat my personal best drive that was held by a pro r boss .I got a cfr katana this weekend that is mid 60's for weight and i think broken in will be great,it's not flippy like the pro so more power can be put into it .but i think a mid 60's nuke will sail for me.

I waited untill both were available and bought the nuke and the katana at the same time. I have thrown my nuke around 50 feet further than my katana but im thinkin its a little to overstable for me right now. The katana has been much easier for me to control. I have found that the katana is your friend if you dont whip him. I can let er rip on a laser for 300' and never be more than 5 feet off the ground. i didnt know that was even possible untill i tossed the katana for awhile. I havent been able to find the correct anny rip for that big D with the swooping S shot tho, still workin on that.
The nuke took back seat to my Katana but if i threw the nuke more then i would proly say its bad ass too.
