The Innova Champion Hawg, an overstable sausage-roll-of-an-approach-disc, likes to scream “Wee-Wee-Wee” all the way to the basket.
**Limited Run of Out of Production Disc
How the Hawg feels: Similar feel to a Pig, however the Hawg’s convex lower rim gives the rim a more rounded feel. Beaded rim bottom.
Hawg Flight Numbers: 2 / 1 / 0 / 3.5
How the Hawg flies: Some wild pigs have got some speed. This Hawg does not. With only a 2 speed rating and barely any glide, all this porker wants to do is hit the hay (or a basket) for a rest.
Champion plastic is among Innova’s most durable plastics. 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:
Short range wind fighter
Slow approach for power throwers
Forehand darts
Versatile yet still with suitable stability, the Sofia Donnecke's Innova Proto Glow Champion Eagle L laces drives like nobody’s business.
How this batch of Eagle L feels: Pretty flat to Modest dome. Softer feel.
More about the player: A rising star from Canada, Donnecke has won the British Columbia Open back to back. However, you’ll mostly see her in the U.S. during the season making impressive runs including a podium finish at the 2024 DGPT Portland Open.
More about the disc: Just like how the TL is a straighter more understable version of the TeeBird, the beadles Eagle L is a straighter less fade heavy version of the Eagle. Excellent disc for control sends when space is a factor.

The Innova Champion Gorgon achieves monster distance without the scary fade of other distance drivers.
How the Gorgon feels: Easy to grip and release. Rim is thinner than other distance drivers and its underside is also flatter. All in all, it’s a distance driver in fairway driver clothing. Most have noticeable dome.
Gorgon Flight numbers: 10 / 6 / -2 / 1
How it flies: With a flat release, amid mild conditions, most players will find the Gorgon travels smoothly (300 to 350+) with an easy turn and a fade that’s present, but not overly so. The disc facilitates any release angle including anhyzers that seem to sail forever. Great as a distance gainer for less powerful throwers.
“It's similar to a speed 10 version of the Leopard3 or Hawkeye. Very controllable fairway driver like flight in a distance driver,” said Innova General Manager Kobyn Dunipace.
Forehand: For those with moderate forehand power, the Gorgon will fit right in your bag with long, straight flights with modest turn. Those with noticeable power will find it flippy.
Champion plastic: Champion plastic is among Innova’s most durable plastics. 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.
The Gorgon is great for:
When you want distance driver speed but not distance driver fade
Throwing anhyzers that don’t fight against you
Players that don’t like super wide rims
Those needing a longer fairway driver
Lengthy low ceiling shots
How will I throw it? In lighter weights, this disc could come in handy for beginners looking to tack on distance. Intermediate players will really benefit from this disc’s turning ease. For advance or power throwers, the Gorgon would likely be a turnover driver, but slightly less flippy in Champ plastic.

The InnMold DX Aviar supplies the same trusted putt and approach flight the world has grown accustomed to, but now with a vibrant color design on top.
How the Aviar feels: In the hand, the Aviar has a rounded, comfortable rim that leaves plenty of room for your fingers no matter which way you grip it.
DX Aviar Flight numbers: 2 / 3 / 0 / 1
How it flies: When the Aviar is thrown at slow speed for putting, it holds the line you put it on with neutral stability.
