Ape | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Ape" by Innova is a high-speed distance driver designed for powerful throws and extreme wind conditions. With a speed rating of 13, this disc is tailored for experienced players with high arm speed who seek an uncompromisingly overstable companion for distance shots. The "Ape" particularly shines in forehand throws: its wide rim and pronounced stability allow for controlled long-distance throws, even in strong headwinds. As a utility disc, it handles situations where other drivers might drift uncontrollably. It also excels in tomahawk and sidearm throws, though backhand throws require significantly more power. In flight, extreme overstability dominates its behavior. A fade of 4 ensures a reliable left finish at the end of the flight path, while a turn of 0 prevents nearly any unwanted rightward movement. With sufficient arm speed, the "Ape" maintains a stable line with moderate glide (5) before making a strong left turn. Without adequate power, the disc tends to drop early and fail to reach its full distance potential. Champion plastic offers maximum stability and durability, while Star versions provide comparable flight characteristics with a slightly grippier feel. Blizzard variants are lighter and more accessible but remain significantly more stable than typical distance drivers. For advanced to professional players, the "Ape" is ideal for forehand distance shots, utility throws in windy conditions, and tight fairway situations where a dependable fade is essential. Hyzer lines amplify its natural overstability, while anhyzer throws require substantial power but still return with control. Players with smaller hands should test the very wide rim before purchasing. If you consistently throw over 120 meters and need a reliable overstable driver for challenging conditions, the "Ape" is a powerful tool to add to your arsenal.
