Innova Discs

The Innova Star Raven is a sneaky far, old school driver that has a knack for landing in paydirt. **Limited Run of Out of Production Disc How the Raven feels: Noticeable dome. Jumbo bead along top of rim. Smaller bead along rim bottom. Raven Flight Numbers: 6 / 4 / -2 / 2 How the Raven flies: In its heyday (mid to late 1990’s), the Raven was said to be Innova’s longest large diameter disc. Now classified as a fairway driver, it is still touted for its control, predictability and its penchant for finding shiny objects like the basket. Star plastic gives the best of both worlds: incredible durability while maintaining a grippy feel in the hand. In terms of stability it sits in between DX and Champion. Great for: Placement shots Long, slow anhyzers

The ever elusive Champion Viper is here again. The Viper is a very stable to overstable disc that is very reliable in all wind conditions. The Viper changed the way disc golf is played by becoming the first disc used for the “Flex Shot”.

The Coyote is a larger diameter mid-range disc with good glide that flies predictably for straight, gentle turnover, or hyzer shots. It holds a soft flight line and has a friendly grip that makes it easy to throw and release. The Coyote is an excellent disc for many types of long or short approach shots, short drives, roller shots, and even short range putts. A great choice for beginners, intermediates and pros using only one disc.

The convex rim, small bead and flat flight plate give the Lion a comfortable grip and create a neutral flight. Thrown hard and flat, it’ll finish with a touch more glide than a Roc3 and enough fade to keep it on track. Trust anhyzer to hold a long, consistent line throughout the flight.

If you prefer a more understated flight plate, step up to the Innova Bottom Stamp Star Mako3. Its clean, simple look pairs well with the disc’s smooth, neutral flight. How the Mako3 disc feels: The Mako3’s thin rim makes grip and release natural for any sized hands. And, after only a few throws your body will instinctively reach for it. Dome can range from pretty flat to noticeable. Star Mako3 Flight Numbers: 5 / 5 / 0 / 0 How the Star Mako3 flies: The Mako3 is a neutral flying large diameter mid range disc, and it is perhaps the easiest disc to fly straight from the get-go. It’s got excellent glide and minimal fade at flight’s end. For moderate conditions, especially in the woods, the Mako3 can easily be your most used disc for medium length drives and approaches. Very versatile, especially for any must-hit-gap shot. Star plastic: If you take the best qualities of all of Innova’s plastics and combine them into one plastic, you get the Star line. All skill levels. Pros, especially pack their bag with Star plastic. Best combination of grip, durability and performance. Great for: Laser-beam-straight medium length drives and approaches Reliable anhyzer throws right out of the box. One-disc rounds. How will I throw it?: Beginner to intermediate players will see straight flights with a moderate fade at flight’s end. As they become more accustomed to the disc, they will experience an even straighter finish. Advanced players will see very straight flights from the start and as it ages it will become more and more of a turnover disc.

The Innova Star Shark is a stable mid range disc that has as many purposes as its namesake has teeth (which is a lot). Great all-around disc for medium length shots for all disc golfers. How it feels: Beadless. Classic mid range feel. Nothing to gripe about here. Most have at least a modest amount of dome. Shark Flight numbers: 4 / 4 / 0 / 2 How the Shark flies: The Shark is a stable to overstable large diameter mid range disc. Innova Co-founder and Disc Inventor Dave Dunipace designed it to be a less overstable Roc, which means it can stretch out for longer flights and it makes hzyer and anhyzer lines easier to execute. That said, it still has enough fade to keep the ending of its flight predictable. At the appropriate weight, it’s a useful mid range for any skilled player, even beginners. VTech Pioneer: The origins of Innova’s VTech technology have been around since the Shark was created in 1989. VTech discs have a convex shaped rim which helps with torque resistance (longer, straighter flights) and minimal fade for flatter landings. Star plastic Star plastic gives the best of both worlds: incredible durability while maintaining a grippy feel in the hand. In terms of stability it sits in between DX and Champion. The Star Shark is great for: Those looking for new disc that flies like a beat-in Roc Medium length straight shots with a noticeable fade ending Dutiful hyzers Turnover anhyzers when seasoned How will I throw it?: Beginners will see straight-ish flights in lighter weights with a noticeable fade a flight’s end. Intermediates will see straighter flights with less of a fade dump and will be able to perform anhyzer lines. Advanced players will be able to construct various lines with moderate to minimal fade.

Everyone can experience the joy of the roller throw with the super understable Innova DX Rollo mid range disc. It’s available in light weights which are perfect for beginners.

AM’s will love this disc not only for its rolling abilities, but also for its ability to get out of trouble when space is tight in the woods. DX plastic For mid range discs, many players start with DX plastic and never stop. Its ample, all-weather grip and quick break-in time is incredibly tough to beat. Plus, it’s very affordable. When it comes to stability, it’s the least overstable of Innova plastics (which benefits beginners). Great for: Those without a sidearm Low ceiling shots Those who haven’t had much luck with the roller in the past Standstill scrambles Late turning backhands (when ample hyzer is applied) How will I throw it?: DX plastic is the best place to start if you want to start throwing rollers as a Beginner, especially in the lightest DX Rollo weights. Beginners will also marvel at the immediate shop shaping available with this disc. Intermediate players will have the same experience, but should try heavier weights, possibly even max weight.

Expect years of use with little change in flight characteristics. However, it is also among Innova’s least grippy plastics. In terms of stability, Champion plastic is among Innova’s most overstable plastics. Great for: Teebox rollers, standstill rollers. Controlled mid shots Immediate hyzer flips Super easy backhand anhyzers How will I throw it?: Beginners will experience easy-going straight shots, especially in lower weights. However, Champion plastic will be challenging to roll for those with low power (Try DX or Star plastic first). In lighter to mid level weights, Intermediate players will have success with hyzer flips, anhyzers and medium length rollers. In heavier weights, Advanced players will find the Rollo useful for long rollers and late turning backhands. However, players with high arm speed will likely be too powerful for this disc, even in the more overstable Champion plastic.
