Zephyr | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Zephyr" stands out with an unusually large diameter, setting it apart from traditional putter discs. With a speed of 2, glide of 3, turn of 0, and fade of 0, it focuses on controlled straight-flight precision at low speeds. This disc is particularly suited for catch games, warm-up throws before tournaments, and as an entry into the PDGA's Superclass category, which exclusively uses oversized discs. The DX and Star plastics offer different grip profiles for varying weather conditions. In flight, the "Zephyr" exhibits a notably stable straight trajectory with minimal turn or fade. Its flight characteristics require sufficient spin to efficiently move its large profile through the air—when properly rotated, it produces a reliable, neutral line. Unlike standard putters, its diameter demands an adapted throwing technique that blends elements of Ultimate Frisbee movements with the precision of disc golf throws. The glide of 3 supports moderate distances without aggressive flight path changes, enabling precise landings on short to mid-range shots. For beginners, this disc offers a gentle introduction to controlled throws, forgiving low arm speeds while providing immediate feedback on throwing technique. Advanced players use the "Zephyr" strategically for approach shots, where its large diameter enhances landing stability, or for Superclass tournaments. The disc works well with both backhand and forehand throws, though the throwing motion must be adjusted for its larger size. Ideal for those seeking a versatile disc that bridges classic disc golf and catch discs, or for players looking to embrace the challenge of technically demanding Superclass rounds.
