  • Speedi 10

    The first number is the speed of the disc. It can range from 1-14. Putters are rated 1-3 and are designed to function at low speeds any player can use. Mid range discs are 4-5 and require more speed when thrown to achieve their desired results. A fairway driver will be speed 6-8, these discs fly mostly straight. Discs that are speed 9 and above are classified as distance drivers. Throwing a distance driver takes a significant amount of power to get up to speed, players are rewarded with additional distance if they learn to control these discs. New players are cautioned that speed does not equal distance. Due to the difficulty of controlling higher speed discs, a beginner could find that a light weight disc with a speed of 6 or 7 could fly farther for them than a max distance driver with a speed of 13. In fact most new players should learn by throwing putters only so they can develop the proper form. After a few weeks they'll begin to get reliable results and are ready ×

  • glidei 4

    This second rating is numbered 1 – 6. Glide describes a disc’s ability to remain in flight. Discs with higher glide ratings will fly further than discs rated lower in this category. A high glide rating is good when the goal is distance, but can have the wrong effect for putts and approach shots. Sometimes overshooting the basket can be worse than not making it far enough. Low glide ratings such as 1 or 2 are popular with upshot putters because they don't fly for distance but for a little extra control. Glide is different for different kinds of discs as well. A putter with a glide of 4 will stay airborne much longer than distance drivers with a glide of 4 ×

  • Turni -1

    Third in Innova’s flight rating system is turn. Turn is rated from 1 to -5?, with -5 being the most understable. The lower the numer, the more striking turn will result. A newer, slower-throwing disc golfer using an understable disc with a ‘high’ negative turn rating will enjoy great distance, as the disc isn’t going to fade as quickly. Also, players whose farthest throw is 200 feet or less probably won’t notice any turn in the flightpath. Once a player gets more speed and power, they will see their understable discs start turning to the right at the beginning of the flight before fading to the left at the end. Discs rated -4 or -5 are popularly used for rollover or roller throws by experienced players. Some discs have 0 turn which means that they'll start to fade when they run out of speed during the flight and at no point will they turn. It's important to carry at least one disc with a high turn rating in your bag for rounds. ×

  • Fadei 3

    This last rating category ranges from 0 to 5; with a disc rated 0 being the straightest finishing, while a disc rated 5 fading the most during the last portion of the flight. Even discs rated lowest in turn will still ‘fade’ as the disc slows at the end of the flight. A disc with a higher fade rating is useful for a hole with a dogleg. Straight finishing discs are great for control, discs with little fade are normal. If you're a Right-hand backhand thrower you'll find that almost every disc wants to fade to the left at the end of your flight. Discs with a 4 or 5 fade rating are excellent in heavy winds. They sacrifice a little of the distance but make sure that the disc won't do anything unexpected. Discs with a low fade are more susceptible to being affected by the wind. ×

Product Description

The Innova Champion Orc is a stable to overstable distance driver. It's a 10 speed disc that players love to forehand because it's a little easier tot get flying than some of the faster distance drivers with similar flight numbers, like the Wraith and the Destroyer. You can expect the Orc to fly down the fairway, especially if it's chasing hobbits.

The flight path of the Orc is going to be straight with a little bit of turn at high speed. If you're consistently hitting 325+ feet you'll see some turn right away from this disc. It's going to fade out at the end of the flight almost every time, except if you beat it in and throw into a headwind. The Orc doesn't have as much glide as many other drivers, this makes it ideal for when you want to throw an accurate shot to a spot and not have your disc glide past everything. It's a good choice for your above average arm speed thrower.

Champion plastic from Innova is a premium and exceptionally durable blend. It's going to keep that same flight path even if you manage to smack a couple of Ents, trees, or rocks. It's dependable in all weather and it's the most overstable right out of the box, so your first few throws may hyzer plenty more than you think.

The Innova Champion Orc is on that cusp of distance drivers. It's fast enough where you do need to be hitting 325 feet to get it to work, but it's not something that you'll need to crank at full power to get that nice flight path from. Try the Orc today and see why players choose to go with this disc when they need a blend of control and distance.
