Wedge | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Wedge" bridges the gap between putters and midranges, serving as a versatile approach tool. With a speed of 3.5, it operates in the lower velocity range, enabling controlled throws for short to medium distances. Its flat profile resembles classic putt-and-approach discs, while its pronounced understable nature makes it ideal for precise placements and creative lines. In Star and GStar plastic, it offers durability with a grippy feel, while DX versions break in faster and become even more turn-friendly. In flight, the disc's -3 turn dominates its behavior. It effortlessly drifts right without requiring an anhyzer angle—even moderate arm speed initiates the turn. A glide of 3 provides enough hang time for smooth turnover lines, while a fade of 1 ensures a controlled, flat landing. This combination makes hyzer flips particularly accessible: a slight hyzer release is enough for the disc to flip up and glide straight or slightly right. In tailwinds, the turn becomes more pronounced, demanding precise control. For beginners, the "Wedge" offers an easy introduction to understable flight patterns without requiring high throwing speed. New players will experience straight throws and controlled turnovers, while advanced players can use it for touch shots in wooded areas, tight approach lines, and creative plays. On the putting green, its strong turn makes it more challenging, but it excels as an approach disc for precise placements near the basket. This disc is especially suited for players seeking a reliable, turn-friendly option for technical shots under 80 meters.
