Invictus | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Invictus" by Innova fills the role of an overstable distance driver with controlled long-range flight. With a speed of 10, it sits between classic fairway drivers and the fastest distance discs, making it ideal for powerful throws with predictable fade. Its overstable nature makes it a reliable choice in windy conditions and for shots requiring a dependable left finish. Star and Champion plastics dominate the selection, offering varying degrees of stability—Star is slightly more accessible, while Champion preserves overstability longer. Compared to extreme utility discs like the Firebird, the "Invictus" remains much more thrower-friendly and can be used as a true distance driver. In flight, its characteristics feature an initial turn of -1, allowing for a slight rightward movement when thrown hard before the fade of 2 pulls the disc back left. A glide of 5 provides surprisingly good float despite its overstability, enabling distances beyond 100 meters. The disc maintains a stable flight even in headwinds without flipping unpredictably. Some models have a more pronounced dome, enhancing glide while slightly reducing stability—flatter profiles, however, remain uncompromisingly overstable. The nose is slightly blunter than other distance drivers, affecting aerodynamics and requiring a clean release. For advanced players with consistent throwing technique and arm speeds of at least 60 km/h, the "Invictus" reaches its full potential. Hyzer lines amplify its reliable fade, while anhyzer throws with enough power produce controllable S-curves. Backhand benefits from its predictability on powerful drives, while forehand shots leverage its stability for secure flex shots. Beginners quickly hit limits, as the disc fades early without sufficient throw speed and struggles to gain distance. As an alternative to overstable control discs like the PD or Teebird3, it offers greater range with similar reliability.
