Innova
SKU: DG-INV-ST-SHA (REF962 *AST**3)
Description
The Innova Star Shark midrange is the best all-around golf disc, according to Innova, molded in Star 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 Star run is a great place to start.
Star Plastic
Star is created with a special blend of grippy, resilient polymers. It offers the outstanding durability of Champion plastic with improved grip like Pro plastic, and it flies like Champion while being slightly less firm. It provides predictable performance, long-lasting durability even on wooded or rugged courses, good all-weather grip, and it retains its flight longer than DX or Pro plastics.
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

| 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 Star and Champion plastic?
Star has Champion's durability with better grip and a slightly softer feel. Champion is clear, firmer, and usually a little more stable.
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.
