Skeeter | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Skeeter" is designed specifically for beginners and players looking for a versatile midrange disc for straight throws. With its controlled flight characteristics, it excels as an approach disc and a reliable companion for one-disc rounds. The disc performs equally well for both forehand and backhand throws, holding its line precisely—a feature that’s especially helpful when learning clean throwing techniques. Available in DX plastic, it offers an affordable entry point, while Star versions provide greater durability with a similar flight pattern. In the air, the "Skeeter" combines moderate turn with mild fade for a straight to slightly right-turning flight path. Its speed rating of 5 makes it easy for beginners to get the disc up to speed, while the high glide extends flight time for extra distance. When thrown on a hyzer angle, it flips up smoothly and glides straight without fading abruptly. With increased arm speed, players can achieve a gentle turnover, useful for flat approaches or in crosswinds. The disc responds directly to angle adjustments without becoming overly sensitive—an advantage for players working on throw control. For beginners, the "Skeeter" serves as an ideal first midrange, enabling straight throws without requiring excessive power. Advanced players use it strategically for technical tunnel shots or precise approaches where reliable straight flights are needed. The disc works just as well for forehand as for backhand, making it a great choice for players developing both throwing styles. Those seeking a straightforward, beginner-friendly midrange that stays relevant even as their skills progress will find the "Skeeter" a solid partner for controlled distances up to around 80 meters.
