Rat | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Rat" by Innova functions as an overstable midrange for approach shots, covering similar uses as the Zone or Harp. With a speed of 4, it fits into the slower midrange category and is suited for controlled approaches up to about 75 meters as well as precise upshots under pressure. The flat top and compact profile ensure a secure grip for both forehand and backhand throws. In Star and Champion Color Glow plastic, the disc delivers particularly consistent flight characteristics across varying weather conditions. In flight, the "Rat" behaves noticeably straighter on backhand than its flight ratings of 4/2/0/3 might suggest. The fade kicks in reliably but remains moderate, preventing excessive ground play. On forehand, it follows a stable, nearly linear path with subtle finish—ideal for sidearm approaches meant to stay in place. The low glide rating of 2 prevents uncontrolled carry and makes the disc predictable for spike hyzer shots. Despite its overstability, it can still be turned over with sufficient arm speed, adding flexibility for tight window shots. For spike hyzer lines under 75 meters, the "Rat" excels: it rises steeply and settles cleanly without excessive roll. On forehand upshots, it delivers straight flight paths with a controlled left finish. Intermediate players benefit from its balance of stability and manageability—the disc forgives moderate throwing errors while remaining predictable. Advanced players use it strategically for technical approaches where precision outweighs distance. Those seeking a flatter, slightly less aggressive alternative to the AviarX3 or a reliable complement to highly overstable utility discs will find the "Rat" a versatile approach partner.
