Kite | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Kite" operates as an understable midrange with a pronounced rightward turn for right-handed backhand throws. With a speed of 5 and glide of 6, it covers the range between controlled approaches and short drives up to around 50 meters. Its high turn rating of -3 and moderate fade of 1 make it a reliable option for turnover lines and hyzer flips, even without beginners needing to exert maximum power. Star and DX plastics dominate its use, with DX versions developing additional understability due to faster break-in periods. In flight, the "Kite" showcases its characteristic flight path even with a flat release—it reliably turns right and maintains this line throughout its trajectory. Hyzer flips succeed even from steep angles around 45 degrees, as the disc flips up and then flies straight. With controlled backhands, it stays on predictable paths, though excessive power or anhyzer releases can quickly lead to overturning. The high glide noticeably extends flight time, allowing precise distance control in approach shots. Forehand throws benefit from its understability on straight releases but require finesse to prevent uncontrolled turning. The domed top ensures noticeable skip upon landing. For beginners, the "Kite" provides direct access to turnover techniques and hyzer flip mechanics without requiring advanced throwing speed. Intermediate players use it strategically for right-turning shots and controlled approaches where classic stable midranges would fade too early. Those with lower arm speed or those seeking intentionally understable flight paths will find the "Kite" a predictable addition to their midrange lineup. For tunnel shots and tight fairways, precise release timing is key.
