Griffin | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Griffin" by Innova serves as an overstable midrange with pronounced fade potential, designed for throws requiring reliable wind resistance and controlled finishes. With a speed of 5, it maintains typical midrange pacing but stands out due to its blend of moderate glide and strong fade, making it ideal for approach shots and technical fairway plays where precise landing zones are crucial. This disc bridges the gap between classic straight midranges and highly overstable utility discs. In flight, the Griffin exhibits slight susceptibility to minimal right turn (Turn 1) at high throw speeds before its Fade 3 takes over, creating a sharp left hook. The low glide rating of 3 reduces hang time, resulting in a more direct, less floaty trajectory compared to midranges with higher glide. This combination ensures predictability in windy conditions and on powerful throws, as the disc transitions early into its fade without prolonged drift phases. Its overstable nature remains consistent across various throwing speeds. For hyzer lines, the Griffin delivers dependable results, holding its angle and finishing with a strong left fade. Forehand throws benefit from its stable flight and resistance to unwanted turn. On anhyzer releases, it requires a forceful throw to maintain the angle briefly before the fade kicks in. Players with medium to higher arm speeds will find this midrange a valuable tool for windy conditions and situations where predictable fade outweighs maximum distance.
