  1. The InnMold DX Shark supplies the same trusted mid range flight the world has grown accustomed to, but now with a vibrant color design on top. 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. DX Plastic: 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). InnMold uses a special process in which full color artwork is actually applied during the molding process instead of afterwards like other processes. InnMold allows for a smooth finish that is basically undetectable to the touch. The DX 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

Glow DX Plastic: Similar to DX in that it is the least durable Innova plastic. Easy to break-in, though. Often times, Glow DX plastic has a Unique Velvet-like (very grippy) DX feel.

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.

  4. If you’re into close encounters with the basket, look no further than the DX Alien, the declassified multipurpose disc that can send your game to the stars.How this large diameter disc feels: The upper half has a Sonic look and feel with its domey top and familiar fastback grooves. The bottom half though, is equipped with a thicker, more modern-day mid-range rim. The DX edition is extremely grippy.DX Alien Flight numbers: 4 / 2 / 0 / 1How it flies: With a flat release in fair conditions, the Alien flies straight 200-300 feet (depending on arm speed), and then torpedoes down – its signature move. Once its flight ends, it practically falls off the table.Because of its low carry, Innova Co Founder and Disc Inventor Dave Dunipace says the Alien is ideal for “Ranging,” meaning it does a better job landing where you aim.Versatile flightShort Drives | Mid Range Hyzer or Anhyzer | Backhand or Forehand approachesMultipurpose: Everyone can find a place for this disc even as a putter because this flying saucer loves to crash land in the chains.Great for:One disc rounds (for shorter courses)Drop and stop throws needed for island holes and other perilous landing areas.Touch anhyzer approaches, where there’s trouble behindFull power anny’s that comeback as faithfully as a Twilight Zone rerunsShort forehand approachesHow will I throw it?

It’s similar to the Lion or Shark, but with less of an overstable bite at the end. The Jay follows the line you put it on no matter which way you release it.“If you like point and shoot and you don’t want to beat the snot out of your Roc3 to get it. Out of the box you got it right here,” said disc creator Dave Dunipace.How will I throw it? Thrown flat, intermediate disc golfers will experience a dependable, gentle fade after a significantly straight flight.

The Difference of DX Mid’s: For mid range discs, many players start with the very affordable DX plastic and never stop. Its ample, all-weather grip and quick break-in allow for an immediate impact. DX Plastic is among Innova’s most understable plastics. Great for: Medium length drives with an overstable finish Forehand approaches Force flex backhands How will I throw it?: Beginner: Not our first choice for newer players. Its 3 fade will be too much. Intermediate to Advanced players with average+ power will get the most use out of this beefy mid range disc. However those with less power will find success in lighter weights for shots that call for substantial fade.

Innova DX Plastic Vs Other Innova Plastics

Every plastic has its pros and cons. Take a look at the benefits and drawbacks of DX Plastic.

Comparing Grip

Feel of DX: Fantastic all-weather grip. Softer feel for most models. Fingers love these discs.

Even though premium plastics like Star and Champion are all the rage nowadays, many experienced players would never give up their most trusted DX discs because of the remarkable grip. Plus, if moisture is an issue for the round, your DX discs will keep their grip better than other plastics, even premium plastics. In fact, many experienced tournament players will pack more DX discs going into a rainy round.

Comparing Cost

Quite possibly DX's best asset is its cheap price. This gives you the green light to expand your bag and experiment with new models. Not sure if a disc is for you? Try it with DX and find out without paying premium prices.

Comparing Durability

Durability: DX has good longevity for occasional play, however DX is the least durable plastic from Innova. Some disc golfers automatically discount DX plastic because of this, however what these players overlook is DX's incredible value for the price.

Disc Cycling: Many professional disc golfers take advantage of DX's quick break-in time and bag several of a particular disc in various states of wear. That way, each one performs subtly different. Players often do this with DX Rocs. Their bag will include: A brand new Roc used for its overstable flight, a seasoned Roc for straight throws, a well-aged Roc for Mid - Range turnovers, and possibly more for every shot/stability in between.

Did you know? DX is Innova’s original plastic.

Comparing Stability

In terms of stability, DX plastic is Innova's most understable plastic and as a DX disc ages it will get more understable. If you're looking for an overstable distance driver like a Destroyer or a Firebird with a little less bite? Try the DX edition in a lighter weight could be just the ticket. A fairway driver like the DX Leopard is a great fix for errant drives off the tee. 

Choosing the Right Disc in Innova DX Plastic

Who Throws Innova DX plastic?

Though DX is more associated with beginners, every disc golfer, no matter their skill, can take advantage of these handy discs. In fact, many higher skilled players still stick with DX for their putters (like the Aviar or Classic Aviar) and mid range discs (like the Roc or Stingray). Savvy tournament players often switch to grippy DX for rainy rounds.

Things to Take Into Account

When choosing a DX disc, it's important to take into account the weight and stability of the disc as well as your arm speed. Even though DX is more understable than other plastics. Overstable discs like the Firebird and Eagle will still start out overstable, especially if you have slower arm speed. Consider selecting lighter discs to start with any disc selection, then work up to the heavier discs.

Did you know? DX stands for Deluxe plastic. 

Different Types of Discs Available in Innova DX Plastic

You'll find most of Innova's disc models available in DX plastic. Whether you're seeking maximum distance, accuracy, or control, there's an Innova DX disc that suits your throwing style. Another advantage to DX is that they require little to no beat-in time, or in other words, you get the intended flight right out of the box. This is why DX plastic is the best plastic to try out new discs. Not sure how a Thunderbird will fly? Try it in DX first and save a few bucks.

How to Choose Based on Your Skill Level?

When choosing DX discs, consider starting with lower-speed and understable discs if you're a beginner like a Mako3 or Leopard. If those prove too understable for you check out the Roc or TeeBird and branch out from there. Experimenting with different disc molds and weights can help you find the perfect fit for your skill level and DX plastic is the perfect plastic to do that in.

How does weather condition impact the performance of Innova DX Plastic discs?

Though not as grippy as Innova's Pro plastic family, DX plastic still holds its own in inclement weather. Cold weather can make the plastic more stiff, affecting flight characteristics, while hot weather can make it more flexible, potentially causing the disc to be more understable.
