Learn the specifics about each type of plastic, it's durability and feel, as well as its effect on a disc's flight characteristics:
Innova DX Line Golf Discs are produced with Deluxe plastic and offers the widest selection of models and weights. These discs are affordably priced and provide an excellent grip in a variety of weather situations. As they are used over time, DX discs eventually take on new and varied flight characteristics. Many top pros carry several DX discs of their favorite models to provide different flight patterns for different situations. Most models are available for custom hot stamping.
New DX discs start out being more overstable, but with use, will match the ratings. With continued use, the DX plastic will eventually become more understable than the ratings. Understable discs are more desirable at higher elevations.
Highlights:
- Provides superior grip that performs well in most weather situations
- Wears in progressively to provide new and varied flight characteristics
- Most economically priced of our plastic lines
- Offered in the widest range of weights and disc models
- Certain models are available in special glow-in-the-dark plastic
- Many models are available for Custom Hot Stamping
Innova Pro Line Golf Discs are manufactured using a special blend of plastics and are designed to provide unique qualities for each available model. They are more durable than DX discs and provide more grip than Champion plastic. Pro Line discs provide more glide than DX and Champion. The special blends of our Pro Line plastic can produce discs in a wide range of rigidity, from the extremely soft and flexible Pro Rhyno or JK Aviar to the stiff, firm plastic of the KC Pro Aviar. Regardless of the firmness of the disc, all of the INNOVA Pro Line models offer unique gripablity. Many Pro Line discs are also available in colorful I-Dye designs. Some models are now available for custom hot stamping.
New discs start out being slightly less overstable.
Highlights:
- Produced from a unique blend of plastics
- Provides an improved grip over our Champion Line plastic
- More durable & retains flight characteristics longer than our DX Line
- More economic than our Champion or Star Line Plastic
- Increased glide over Champion, Star or DX Plastic
- Many models available with colorful I-Dye designs
Innova R-Pro Plastic (new in 03/09 with the introduction of the Dart) is a special compound of plastics that features the
durability of the Pro-Line, along with an enhanced rubber grip and feel. The
R-Pro golf discs are more flexible and consistently softer at low temperatures. This
makes R-Pro ideal for cold weather play. R-Pro provides the most grip of any
of our plastics, wet or dry. R-Pro has more grip, flexibility and durability
than DX plastic. R-Pro material is good to grip and good to stick.
Innova Champion Line Golf Discs are produced with a high tech plastic that provides outstanding performance and durability. Champion golf discs are distinguished by a clear or pearlescent plastic. Champion Line golf discs retain original flight characteristics for an extended period of time. Whether used in heavily wooded situations, or on extremely rugged courses, the Champion Line plastic will continue to perform predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic. Originally designed for professional players, Champion Line discs are usually more stable than the same model in Pro, R-Pro or DX. Many Champion Line golf discs are available for custom hot stamping.
Champion plastic discs will retain their flight rating characteristics for a longer period of time.
Highlights:
- High quality plastic which provides superior durability and reliable performance
- Suitable for the increased throwing speeds of professional players
- Retains flight characteristics longer than DX or Pro Plastics
- Some models available with colorful and unique I-Dye designs
- Most models available for Custom Hot-Stamping
Innova Blizzard Champion plastic was introduced in February 2010. Thousands of micro bubbles are incorporated into the Champion plastic resulting in high speed drivers in weights all the way down to 130 grams. Models under 140 grams float in water. Models under 140 grams float in water. The micro bubbles at the surface of the disc create a slightly different texture than its heavier counterpart, but this is a natural and does not affect the performance of the disc. It does not constitute it as an x-out or blemished product. The Blizzard material is just as impact resistant as regular Champion, but it does seem to be more susceptible to scuffs and abrasions.
Discs in the 151-159 gram range (Japan Open Class) are great for any player looking to lighten up a bit.
Discs in the 140-150 gram range (True 150 Class) great for getting the most from your arm. Easy to throw far.
Discs in the 130-139 gram range (Floats in Water) are great for effortless distance and so light that they float.
Innova Star Line Golf Discs are made with a special blend of grippy resilient polymers. Star Plastic offers the same outstanding durability of Champion Plastic plus improved grip like Pro plastic. High performance, longevity, and superior grip describe the Star line golf discs.
Star line golf discs have the same flight rating characteristics as Champion golf discs although some Star discs may be slightly more high-speed stable. They retain their flight rating characteristics for a longer period of time.
Innova Glow Plastic is produced with a unique plastic that illuminates when exposed to light. It will hold a charge for a while, and can be easily recharged with a flashlight, UV light (black light) or camera flash. Glow plastic was one of our first premium plastics and it has a unique gritty feel that many players like, especially in Aviars and ROCs.
