Disc Types

The Ape can handle the raw, primal power of disc golfs biggest arms. Extremely fast and stable, the Ape is a "must have" distance driver for windy conditions and sharp doglegs. Sidearm drivers will learn the Ape is more than capable of standing up to even the most intense torque. The Ape is an outstanding choice for backhand or sidearm throws as well as a variety of niche flex shots. With less high speed turn than a Boss, the Ape is not recommended for players who throw less than 300ft.

Give the course and the competition a real scare with the far flying Innova Blizzard Champion Beast. It’s available in lighter weights so more players can go deep. How the Beast disc feels: Wider rim, but not as wide was the Wraith or Destroyer. Most discs have noticeable dome. Blizzard Beast Flight Numbers: 10 / 5 / -2 / 2 How the Beast flies: Don’t let the name scare you off, the stable to understable Beast is one of the more accessible distance drivers in the Innova stable. A pioneering wide-rimmed driver, the Beast has big glide and moderate fade for smooth ‘S’ shots when thrown anhyzer and is still able to hold a line when needed. Can handle mild to moderate winds. Blizzard Champion plastic: By infusing tightly bound air bubbles into Champion plastic, maximum distance drivers can be made in seriously light plastics – which are much easier for less powerful players to throw far. Part of Innova’s Champion plastic family, Blizzard is among Innova’s most durable plastics. However, it is also among Innova’s least grippy plastics. Great for: Beginners & less powerful players Open hole smashes Clean forehand lines A more understable substitute for a Wraith or Charger How will I throw it?: Beginner: Newer players will have good luck throwing this disc right away. Expect moderate fade at flight’s end, especially in the lightest weights. Intermediate players will really make this disc hum and even see some turnover potential. Advanced players will, in many cases, overpower this disc.

Available in light weights, the Blizzard Champion Destroyer brings the long, aggressive flight of the Destroyer to more players. How it feels: Wide rimmed distance driver that feels as serious as it flies. Flight plate can range from fairly flat to a noticeable dome. Blizzard Destroyer Flight numbers: 12 / 5 / -1 / 3 How the Blizzard Destroyer flies: Boom goes the dynamite. The Destroyer is a very fast, very overstable distance driver usually meant for advanced players. However, in lightweight Blizzard plastic more skill levels are able to control this long range disc. Thrown with the proper amount of power, the Destroyer disc flies straight followed by a slight turn for incredible distance until its noticealbe fade brings it back to the ground. Blizzard plastic: Tightly bound air bubbles help convert overstable discs like the Destroyer into lighter, more accessible drivers. Great for older players and those with less power.

The Katana is built with the finesse thrower in mind. Recommended downwind driver. Hit the angle right and watch it bolt out of sight. The physical characteristics resemble a Boss with the flight characteristics of a Sidewinder on steroids. Master the technique of Katana and rule the course. 

Big glide is the Innova Champion Tern’s calling card, which means you don’t have to break your back to throw this maximum distance driver far.How it feels: Noticeable dome. Wider rim, but not difficult to grasp.Flight numbers: 12 / 6 / -2 / 2 (the Champion Tern is a notch more overstable than Terns in other plastics.)How the Champion Tern flies: The Tern is a fast, slightly understable driver that’s born to make tight ‘S’ styled shots. What’s great about the Tern, is that you don’t have to have incredible power to throw it far. Just throw it flat or with a tiny bit of hyzer and its glide and natural turn will take it from there.Great for: Hyzer flip bombs.Extremely long turnovers.Maximum distance standstill shotsTailwind drivesHow will I throw it? Amateur players will love the Tern. Once you find a weight that agrees with you, you’ll never take it out of your bag. It’s got the perfect amount of understability for medium strength arms to really crank it, but has enough fade to keep it in play. The Tern is still a viable option for those with big arm speed and you’ll see those players making effortless turnovers with the disc. 

The Beast was issued in the era of the wide rimmed driver. It was an instant classic when it was released; giving players more distance using less power. The Beast’s high glide, high speed and high speed turn all combine to give big distance. It is suitable for beginners and pros alike. The Champion Beast is endorsed by two-time World Champion Barry Schultz.

The Mamba has more high speed turn than any of our long range drivers, so throwing into a headwind is not recommended. For those with less driving speed, it will add distance. For the medium armed crowd, it will shape long lines for turnovers and straight shots, as well as hyzer flips and even big rolls.
