Gorgon | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Gorgon" is a versatile distance driver with a speed of 10, operating at the boundary between controlled distance and beginner-friendly handling. With its pronounced glide of 6 and moderate turn, it’s ideal for long throws without requiring extreme arm speed. The thicker, rounded rim provides a solid grip, while a micro-bead on the inner edge enhances release control. Star plastic delivers noticeably more stability than GStar, which significantly amplifies its understable nature and allows for earlier turnover phases. As a distance disc for players without maximum power, it fills an important gap between technical fairway drivers and high-speed bombers. In flight, the Gorgon exhibits a smooth, drawn-out turn with reliable fade at the end. The high glide keeps the disc in the air longer, enabling impressive distances even at moderate throw speeds. With a speed of 10, it handles power well without immediately turning uncontrollably—Star plastic noticeably stabilizes it compared to the much more understable GStar version. The flight path resembles a stretched-out version of the Innova IT but offers greater range due to the higher speed rating. When thrown flat, it develops a steady drift to the right (RHBH), while slight hyzer enables a classic flex shot with late fade. Hyzer flips require minimal effort, and long anhyzer lines can be precisely controlled. For beginners with some experience in distance throws, this disc offers accessible range without demanding excessive technique—especially in Star plastic, it remains forgiving. Advanced players use the Gorgon strategically for controlled turnovers or as a reliable hyzer-flip driver in headwinds. Backhand throws benefit from the balanced combination of turn and fade, while forehand throws also perform well thanks to the stable rim design. If you’re looking for a distance driver that blends distance with control, this is a solid choice for a variety of situations.
