Innova
SKU: DG-INV-CH-CAI (REF999-30)
Description
The Innova Champion Caiman midrange is a strong, consistent-fading upshot midrange, molded in Champion plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on headwind upshots and forehands. If you're shopping for a dependable Caiman for your bag, this Champion run is a great place to start.
Champion Plastic
Champion is a hi-tech plastic with outstanding performance and durability, distinguished by a beautiful clear appearance. Designed for professional players, Champion discs are usually a little firmer and more stable than the same model in other plastics, and they keep performing predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic, even on wooded or rugged courses.
The Mold
For upshots that need a strong, consistent fade, especially into headwinds, the Caiman is the call. Its microbead gives it a smooth forehand release.
Stability
The Caiman is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard 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's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5.5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 2 | Very little glide, so it drops and stops near its target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 4 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
