by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-DX-Cob (REF830 *AST**7)
Description
The Innova DX Cobra midrange is an easy-to-grip, all-around midrange, molded in DX plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on rollers, finesse shots, and all-around play. If you're shopping for a dependable Cobra 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 Cobra is an excellent all-around disc that's easy to grip and gets better with age. It's great for rollers and finesse shots, and Innova calls it a terrific disc for beginners.
Stability
The Cobra is stable-to-understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
