Innova Discs

The Philo Brathwaite Star Destroyer routinely turns unlikely shots into your personal web gems. How this batch of Star Destroyers feel: Noticeable dome. More about the player: Nowadays most know Philo Brathwaite for his  fun and engaging commentary for pro tour coverage. Though Brathwaite has slowed down his competitive play the last few years, he has shown he can still hang with the best like when he won the US Masters in 2023. And, you can’t mention Brathwaite without mentioning his Albatross at the 2016 Beaver State Fling (Thrown with a Destroyer). He amazingly finished the 850-foot par 5 in only 2 throws. And, it was caught on tape during Central Coast Disc Golf’s coverage.  More about the disc: The Destroyer is a very fast, very overstable distance driver meant for advanced players. Thrown with the proper amount of power, the Destroyer disc flies straight followed by a slight turn for incredible distance until its mighty fade brings it back to the ground. Why only available in 165-169 grams? Because that’s the weight of the Destroyer that landed the Albatross. Destroyer Flight Numbers: 12 / 5 / -1 / 3

The Innova Star Starfire takes the power you put on it and translates it into long, fade heavy drives. **Limited Run of Out of Production Disc How the Starfire feels:  Early adoptee of the wide rim. Dome can range from pretty flat to noticeable. Starfire Flight Numbers: 10 / 4 / 0 / 3 How the Starfire flies: A fast, overstable distance driver meant for the amptly powered gentleman or gentlelady. Try it for backhand or forehand and even into a headwind. There’s enough fade to keep your shots honest.

Best combination of grip, durability and performance.  Great for: Power ‘S’ shots Automatic hyzers Flat, full send forehand drives

Understable often means under-the-basket when it comes to the Innova Pro Sidewinder – an easy to throw fairway driver for the common disc golfer. **Limited Run Plastic Not In Wide Production How the Sidewinder feels: Beadless medium sized rim that’s not a chore to hold onto. Most have a noticeable amount dome. Sidewinder Flight Numbers: 9 / 5 / -3 / 1 How the Sidewinder flies: The Sidewinder is an understable distance driver that specializes in long, straight flights for lower powered players. Its manageable speed combined with its understable flight channels the disc to the fairway more than other distance drivers. Pro plastic: A step up from DX in terms of durability. However, Pro will beat-in considerably sooner than premium plastics like Star or Champion. When it comes to grip, Pro plastic is among Innova’s best for drivers and that includes wet weather. Also, it’s considered more understable than premium plastics. Great for: Long drives without a ton of effort Turnover backhand or forehand drives Longer looping hyzers

It’s time to conquer the day. At your side is the Innova Champion Viking, an easy to maneuver fairway driver that’ll keep you on the path to victory. **Limited Run of Out of Production Disc How the Viking feels: Fairway style rim in the vain of a Teebird or Sidewinder. Noticeable dome. Viking Flight Numbers: 9 / 4 / -1 / 2 How the Viking flies: The Viking is a neutral fairway driver that’s not hard to manipulate for the average player. Great option for gaining a little more distance at very little risk. 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: Gentle turnovers Fairway shots with minimal fade Hyzer stand ups

As meaty as you would expect from the king of meat-eaters, the Innova Champion TeeRex is a powerful distance driver that can really tear a course to shreds. **Limited Run of Out of Production Disc How the TeeRex feels: Wider rim distance driver similar in feel to the Wraith. Most have noticeable dome TeeRex Flight Numbers: 11 / 4 / 0 / 4 How the TeeRex flies: The overstable TeeRex is a big distance option for long arms backhand or forehand. With its speed and heavy fade, it will thunder down the fairway but still hook up when needed. Champion plastic is among Innova’s most durable plastics.

If there’s one guy you should buy a TeeBird from it’s Väinö Mäkelä. He’s a TeeBird fanatic, and his Tour Series Innova Star TeeBird is a real keeper.  How this batch of Star TeeBird feels: Pretty flat to Modest dome. More about the player: Top Finnish disc golfer, Väinö Mäkelä brought his A game to Team Innova in 2024. Since 2022 Mäkelä has spent the majority of his tour season in the U.S. with several respectable finishes including a top five finish at the 2024 USDGC. Awesome moustache too! More about the disc: The TeeBird is perhaps the most reliable fairway driver for open to moderately wooded courses on the market. It has the perfect amount of stability to hold your line, even in mild winds. Excellent for pin-point accuracy and sidearm. Flight Numbers: 7 / 5 / 0 / 2

Get the birdie party stared right with Kevin Jones’ Innova Luster Champion Max. This disc really knows how to lay a beat … down. How this batch of Luster Max feels: Minimal dome. Handy Luster grip. More about the player: Already a well known name on tour, Jones joined Team Innova midway through the 2024 season, bringing his podium experience and clutch play. Last year, he had a top five finish at the Ledgestone, but he’s probably best known for his 2020 DGPT Championship win. Off the course, he Rocs the house with his DJ skills (hence the stereo themed stamp). More about the disc: With a fade of 5 (the most for an Innova disc) and a minimal glide of 3, the Star Max is the closest you can come to throwing a PDGA approved cinder block. No matter how you throw it, it will fade a way to fade. Flight Numbers: 11 / 3 / 0 / 5

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. Flight Numbers: 7 / 5 / -1 / 2

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 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 amazing feel of our KC plastic, combined with consistent flight of the Shark mold. The Shark is the perfect mid-range disc for players of all skill levels. It is great for predictable straight, hyzer or anhyzer drives and approach shots, plus you can even putt with it. Beginners will benefit from the smooth rim and consistent release. It has good carry and makes long approaches easy to react.

Grip like no other and super flexible, the Innova Soft Pro Toro is a delight to hold and throw. How it feels: A beadless and small diameter disc, the Toro, has the low profile and comfortable feel of a Rat. However, the rim of the Toro is much beefier. Most are pretty flat. Innova Toro Flight numbers:  4 / 2 / 1 / 3 How the Toro flies: The Toro was built to handle anything you put on it for short to medium length backhand or forehand shots. “Massive torque resistance,” is how Innova co-founder and disc inventor Dave Dunipace describes the Toro’s flight, which in layman’s terms means it’s an ox of a disc. Soft Pro plastic: This plastic is so flexy and gummy is Gumby is jealous (remember him?). Best in terms of grip for all Innova plastics, but among our least durable plastics. Ideal for cold and wet rounds. Grabs chains better too. The Toro is great for: Brute force medium length forehand and backhand drives and approaches. Headwind shots without a second thought. Slow-panning anhyzers. How will I throw it?: Beginners: We don’t recommend this disc for newer players. Intermediate players will see fairly straight mid length shots followed by heavy fade. They should stick to lighter weights unless they’ve already got a cannon for an arm. Advanced players have the green light to put everything they have on this disc and still count on a strong fade finish.
