Innova Pro plastic is the next progression from DX plastic. It provides excellent grip even in wet weather, enhanced durability, and still maintains affordability. It comes in a number of varieties including Driver Pro, R-Pro, KC Pro, JK Pro, and Yeti Pro and most are suitable for all skill levels.
So you’ve gotten the hang of DX discs and now you’re ready to take on more. Time to graduate to Pro plastic. It's got everything DX has, but added durability, improved grip, and a softer feel on most disc models. Consider it the bridge between the baseline and premium plastics.

Weather: Whether it's rainy, or cold; or hot weather is making your hands super sweaty, Pro plastic keeps its grip.
Grip = Confidence: Confidence is a must when it comes to hitting gaps and landing zones. That all starts with supreme grip, which Pro plastic has in spades.
Other reasons to go with Pro:
Several of Innova's top driver molds are produced in a specialized Pro plastic called Driver Pro, which is a middle of the road blend with a softer, flexier feel and reduced beat-in time. Plus, Driver Pro plastic is known for having additional glide, making it one of the best Innova plastics for maximum distance.
Feel of Driver Pro: Typically softer and more flexible than other Innova plastics, including DX (Innova's baseline plastic).
Durability of Driver Pro: A step up from DX and the most durable among the Pro plastics, but not quite the level of Champion and Star.
Who throws Driver Pro: Typically beginners and intermediate players.
Not a Power Thrower? Some players may not have the arm strength to handle a Star or Champion Destroyer, but a Destroyer in the less overstable Pro plastic is right up their alley for max distance. A well beaten driver in Driver Pro plastic can easily turn into a roller disc as well.

Inclement weather may stop some disc golfers, but it won’t stop you if you’re slinging Innova R Pro plastic, Innova's most grippy plastic. Not only is R Pro Plastic the best plastic for cold or wet weather, the gummy and flexible texture feels awesome for all conditions. R-Pro plastic is used most commonly for mid range and putt and approach discs.
Feel of R-Pro Discs: Softer, flexy plastic that provides superior grip even when conditions are at their worst.
Durability of R-Pro: Outlasts DX plastic, but not as durable as other Pro plastics.
Who throws Innova R Pro plastic? Intermediate to pros looking for maximum grip. Also ideal for those living in colder climates.

If you wanna get a better hold of your putting, it’s time to try the Innova Aviar in the JK Pro plastic. JK Pro is a gummy plastic blend that predates R-Pro and it's exclusively used for the JK Pro Aviar-X putt and approach disc.

Every plastic has its pros and cons. Let's take a look at the benefits and drawbacks of Innova Pro Line plastic compared to other Innova plastics. Though there are subtle differences between the various Pro plastics, for this comparison we'll use overall qualities of Pro plastic.
Pro plastic has the most grip compared to other Innova plastics (Excluding KC Pro plastic). It's the choice for wet conditions or cold weather.
The price of Pro plastic is a notch above DX, but it's noticeably less than the premium Champion and Star Line plastics.
A step up from DX, but not quite the level of Champion, Star, and Halo Star plastic. After a Pro driver is well broken-in, try it as your next roller disc.
Chart Grip-ability: A set of Innova Flight Charts comes with a poster comparing the Durability and Grip of each Innova plastic. It's great for a quick reference at home.
Pro plastic is a notch more overstable than DX plastic, but it's noticeably more understable than Champion, Star, or Halo Star blends. Like DX, Pro plastic has reduced beat-in time so the disc flies as intended sooner.
The composition of Innova Pro Plastic includes additives that increase friction. This ensures excellent grip in both dry and wet weather conditions.
When choosing a golf disc in Pro plastic it's important to first think about what you'll be using the disc for, whether it's for putt/approach, mid-range throws, or driving. Additionally, take into account how you prefer the disc to feel in your hand.
Innova Pro plastic is a very good option for beginner disc golfers looking for a more durable plastic blend, but still has a very affordable price. There are several varieties of drivers, mid - range discs, and putters available in the family of Pro plastic.
The flippiest Innova plastic is DX plastic. It is the most understable right off the shelf and it becomes more understable faster than other Innova plastics. Pro plastic would be seen as the next most understable or flippy Innova plastic because of its quick break-in time and middle of the road durability.
The most stable widely available Innova plastic is Champion plastic. It's made from a premium plastic blend that is extremely durable. Not only do Champion discs start out as the most overstable plastic, but Champion plastic discs retain their original flight characteristics longer than any other Innova plastic.
Innova KC Pro plastic has good general durability, but compared to Innova's other plastic lines, KC Pro is among the least durable. However, many players use this to their advantage, bundling up on their favorite model to utilize it in various stages of wear for specific flight patterns.
KC Pro plastic is a plastic blend manufactured by Innova Disc Golf that was created for the professional caliber disc golfer, specifically 12-time World Champion Ken Climo. It has a smooth, firm plastic texture that Climo preferred for his Aviar putter and Roc Mid - Range disc. KC Pro continues to be one of the favorite blends for professional disc golfers everywhere.
The Innova plastic best for rain is Pro plastic specifically R-Pro plastic. The plastic blend is great for all conditions, but really shines in inclement weather because it maintains its extra grip. Some of Innova's most popular short range discs are produced in R-Pro plastic like the Pig and Rhyno.
JK Pro plastic is a soft, flexible blend of plastics used for the popular JK Pro Aviar, a putter that utilizes a large bead at the end of the disc's rim. The plastic is an excellent choice for players who crave a grippy plastic for putting or approach shots.
