Daedalus | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Daedalus" is a distance driver designed for throwers seeking maximum distance with a speed 13 disc while using moderate power. With pronounced glide and noticeable turn, it excels in long turnover lines and rollers, while its 2 fade ensures a controlled finish. Particularly in lighter GStar versions (156g and up), the disc unlocks potential for intermediate arm speeds that typically struggle with high-speed drivers. The wide rim demands a confident grip but rewards with distance gains beyond 115 meters. In flight, the "Daedalus" exhibits a progressive trajectory: upon release, it quickly turns right (RHBH), maintains this line through mid-flight, then gently fades back center. The turn often proves less pronounced than the -3 rating suggests—the disc requires sufficient throwing speed to achieve full turnover potential. Champion and Star plastics offer more initial stability for powerful throws, while GStar performs better in cold conditions or for players with less snap. Headwinds noticeably reduce turn, making the disc more predictable. For hyzer releases, the "Daedalus" delivers sweeping S-curves, while flat throws produce long turnover flights without early fade. Forehand throws benefit from its high glide and tendency to hold lines but require precise timing. Advanced players use it for open fairway distance shots or roller attempts, while ambitious beginners can explore high-speed discs through lighter weights. Those seeking a reliable turnover driver without extreme instability will find the "Daedalus" a versatile addition to any distance lineup.
