PLASTIC GUIDE
Over the years INNOVA has developed many different kinds of plastics to cater to the needs of disc golfers from beginners to professionals. Each of the different plastics offer unique characteristics and advantages to match the various needs of throwers and the diverse environments encountered on different disc golf courses. Below are descriptions of INNOVA'S stock (readily available) plastic types. Other plastic types such as Echo Star, Luster Champion, Nexus, Soft Pro, etc. are sometimes available in limited production discs. Choose the plastic that is best suited for your abilities and preferences.
HALO STAR | STAR | GSTAR | CHAMPION | METAL FLAKE | BLIZZARD | DRIVER PRO | XT | KC PRO | R-PRO | DX | GLOW
HALO STAR
Halo Star is INNOVA's latest high-performance polymer innovation, offering maximum durability and brilliant appearance. The novel two-tone injection process results in beautiful, durable discs with a “Halo” rim that is a distinctly different color than the flight plate. Halo Star is created with a unique blend of high performance Star plastic and is a more stable version of Star plastic.
STAR
INNOVA's Star line is created with a special blend of grippy, resilient polymers. Star plastic offers the same outstanding durability of INNOVA's regular Champion plastic, plus improved grip like INNOVA's Pro plastic. Star discs have the same flight characteristics as Champion discs, but are slightly less firm. High performance, longevity, and superior grip make INNOVA's Star line discs a great choice for your game.
GSTAR
GStar is a blend of Star that adds flexibility and even more grip. GStar is opaque like Star, but features a pearlescent sheen. GStar discs have a smooth, gradual transition in flight and the same durability as INNOVA's Star line. For cold weather play the flexibility and grip of GStar cannot be beaten, and even when the weather warms up GStar still retains similar flexibility.
CHAMPION
INNOVA's Champion line is produced with a hi-tech plastic that provides outstanding performance and durability. Champion discs are distinguished by a beautiful clear appearance. Designed for professional players, Champion line discs are usually a little firmer and more stable than the same model in other plastics. Whether used in heavily wooded situations, or on extremely rugged courses, INNOVA's Champion line plastic will continue to perform predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic. Some models are available with colorful and unique I-Dye designs and/or glow-in-the-dark plastic.
CHAMPION METAL FLAKE
The Metal Flake line is based on INNOVA's Champion line with the addition of sparkling metal flakes. These discs also retain their original flight characteristics for an extended period of time and look great doing it.
BLIZZARD CHAMPION
INNOVA's Blizzard technology incorporates thousands of microbubbles into INNOVA's durable Champion plastic. This results in high speed, premium plastic drivers in weights all the way down to 130 grams! Blizzard discs fly with almost the same stability as the equivalent model 20 grams heavier. Most models lighter than 135 grams float in water.
DRIVER PRO
INNOVA's Driver Pro line is manufactured using a unique blend of plastics. These quality discs offer increased durability over DX and other Pro plastics as well as provide an enhanced grip when compared to Champion plastic. INNOVA's Driver Pro line discs provide additional glide when compared to all INNOVA's other disc lines and are more affordable than premium Champion or Star line discs.
XT
XT is a tough plastic blend that was originally developed for the Nova and Atlas (XT Overmolds). It worked so well, it spread to other models. Grip is off the charts and durability is almost as good as INNOVA's premium plastics. XT is firmer than R-Pro, and less firm than KC Pro with a unique grip that feels great in the hand.
KC PRO
INNOVA's KC Pro plastic was developed for the demanding needs of 12 time World Disc Golf Champion Ken Climo. This plastic is the favorite putter and midrange plastic of many players who prefer a firm plastic whose grip improves with use.
R-PRO
INNOVA's R-Pro line is softer than most Pro blends. R-Pro discs have the best all-condition grip and an improved feel. R-Pro has great flexibility which makes it the best choice for putt & approach in cold/wet weather.
DX
INOVA's DX line discs are affordably priced and provide excellent grip in a variety of weather situations. DX discs wear in with usage and over time will eventually take on new and varied flight characteristics. Many players carry several DX discs of their favorite models to provide different flight patterns for different situations.
GLOW
Glow discs are made with the addition of an additive to make the discs glow in the dark. They are generally more grippy than discs made with plastic without the additive. With the release of Innova’s upgraded glow formula January 2024 which offers a significant upgrade in terms of the brightness and longevity of its glow effect, Innova glow plastic is now known as Classic Glow or Proto Glow to distinguish between their glow discs made prior to January 2024 using their former glow formula and newer runs made with their updated glow formula.
