Makani | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Makani" fills a unique niche beyond traditional disc golf use. With a speed of 2 and an exceptionally high glide of 7, it's primarily designed as a catch disc for relaxed throwing and warm-ups. The soft DX plastic blend ensures comfortable hand contact when catching, making it ideal for casual throwing games away from the course. While PDGA-approved, its true value lies in its versatility for leisure activities surrounding disc golf sports. In flight, the extreme glide rating translates into remarkably long float time with minimal throwing power. A turn of -2 combined with 0 fade produces smooth, consistent right-turning flights on backhand throws without abrupt finishes. This flight characteristic enables precise distance control for catch games and allows less experienced throwers to achieve successful throws. The disc remains understable throughout, guaranteeing consistent flight patterns without unexpected directional changes. For regular disc golf on the course, the "Makani" offers limited utility, as its flight behavior is too specialized for typical putter roles. It shines during pre-round warm-ups or as an alternative to conventional frisbees for relaxed park throwing. Beginners especially benefit from its forgiving flight path and easy handling, which delivers quick success. As a complement to standard bag setups, it suits players of all skill levels seeking a high-quality catch disc with disc golf performance while occasionally incorporating alternative throwing games into their routine.
