Cobra | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Cobra" by Innova serves as a versatile midrange for straight flights and controlled turnovers. With a speed of 4 and glide of 5, it covers typical midrange distances and is especially suited for throws between 60 to 90 meters. The bead on the inner rim ensures a clean release for both backhand and forehand throws. In DX plastic, it exhibits faster break-in effects, while Star and Champion plastics offer longer-lasting stability. In flight, the disc develops a gentle turn phase without abrupt dumping. The turn rating of -2 gradually works into the flight path, creating smooth, elongated curves rather than sharp angles. The fade of 2 provides enough counteraction at the end for a predictable landing—the disc doesn’t continue spinning uncontrollably but stabilizes reliably. On straight lines, it holds its trajectory over the entire distance without requiring constant adjustments. With a slight hyzer release, it executes a hyzer flip followed by a straight phase, while anhyzer releases enhance the turnover for wide S-curves. The flat profile allows for clean releases and reduces wobble during the throw. For beginners, the "Cobra" offers immediate feedback without overwhelming complexity—low arm speed is enough for controlled flights, and the disc forgives technical imperfections. Advanced players use it for precise turnover shots, hyzer flips, and as a utility disc in headwinds where more stable midranges would fade too early. It also performs reliably for forehand approaches at medium distances. Lighter versions around 150 grams amplify the turnover effect and work well for rollers or extreme anhyzer lines. If you're looking for a straight-flying midrange between putter and fairway driver, this is a dependable option for various game situations.
