Barracuda | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Barracuda" from Innova serves as a versatile midrange for controlled throws in the mid-distance range. With a speed of 5, it handles classic midrange tasks and is equally suited for technical fairway shots and approach situations requiring precise landing zones. The combination of moderate turn and strong fade allows for variable flight paths without sacrificing distance. In flight, the Barracuda exhibits a distinct profile: A turn of -2 enables controlled right curves for backhand throws, while a fade of 3 ensures a clear return at the end of the trajectory. The glide of 4 keeps the disc airborne longer, extending the flight phase. This stability classifies the disc as overstable, particularly evident in its reliable fade behavior. The bead on the inner rim provides a defined grip point and supports clean releases. The flight ratings produce an S-curve that can be finely adjusted and remains predictable even in windy conditions. For hyzer throws, the Barracuda utilizes its strong fade to hook left and achieve steep landings. On anhyzer lines, the turn shines: The disc smoothly drifts right before the fade brings it back. This characteristic makes it appealing for players seeking a midrange with pronounced finish stability while still desiring turnover options. Forehand throws benefit from the dependable fade, while backhand players can fully exploit the flight curve. Advanced throwers will appreciate the Barracuda’s precise line control on technical courses.
