  • 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 5

    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 -2

    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 2

    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 Beast Disc Golf Distance Driver is an exceptionally versatile distance driver. This mold has helped Disc Golf Hall of Famer and 2X World Champ Barry Schultz in his incredibly storied career. The Beast is perfect for long drives, controlled drives, hyzer flips, and many other shots you need out on the course.

The flight path for the Beast is a slow early turn, with a forward glide and a hyzer out finish at the end. The -2/2 rating for turn and fade don't tell the story of the beast. It doesn't jump out of your hand and turn right away, it's much more gradual turn and a slow fade. When you compare this to other discs like the Katana which seems to turn then flip instantly to fade, the Beast is much more slow with its movements. You can control the speed with a Beast, you don't have to crank on it as hard as you can to get the gentle turn from this disc, the more power you put into it gives it more turn. This gives you a little extra versatility in the discs amount of turn. You can throw the Beast with a forehand or backhand it doesn't matter. It's got a rim that's not too big in the hand.

Champion Plastic is the most durable that Innova offers. It's not going to suffer if you hit a couple of trees at high speeds with it. This is also the most overstable of the plastics offered by Innova. It takes a long time to beat in, but when it does it holds its flight path shape for a long time.

The Innova Champion Beast is great for controlled distance, lower arm speeds, and gliding to where you want it to be. If that's something you'd like in your bag then find a color and a weight you like today!
