Innova Disc Golf DX Shark Midrange Disc 4/4/0/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Innova DX Shark midrange is the best all-around golf disc, according to Innova, molded in DX plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on drives, approaches, and putts. If you're shopping for a dependable Shark for your bag, this DX run is a great place to start.
DX Plastic
DX is Innova's value plastic, offered in the widest selection of models and weights. It provides excellent grip in a variety of weather, and it wears in with use, gradually taking on new flight characteristics. Many top pros carry several DX discs of their favorite models for different flight patterns.
The Mold
The Shark is a very accurate disc for drives and approach shots, and you can even putt with it. It's excellent for beginners in lighter weights.
Stability
The Shark is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Innova Shark good for beginners?
Yes. Innova says the Shark is excellent for beginners in lighter weights.
Is the Innova Shark overstable?
Not really. The Shark is stable, rated 4/4/0/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between DX and Champion plastic?
DX is affordable and grippy and wears in over time. Champion is clear, firmer, and far more durable, holding its flight much longer.
What disc is similar to the Innova Shark?
The Innova Roc (4/4/0/3) is another versatile, stable midrange.
How far does the Innova Shark fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 260 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
