by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-PGDX-DRA (REF2934-11)
Description
The Innova Proto Glow DX Dragon fairway driver is a lightweight, glidey driver that floats in water, molded in Proto Glow DX plastic. Its ability to float makes it a great choice for risky shots near water, but don't overlook it as an everyday driver: its glidey, understable flight is a go-to for players with slower arm speeds looking for more distance with less effort. Now in Innova's brightest glow material, the Dragon is ready to fly day or night, land or water.
Proto Glow 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. Proto Glow is Innova's upgraded glow: it glows significantly brighter and lasts much longer than older Innova glow plastics, holding visible illumination for 20 minutes or more.
The Mold
The Dragon is a lightweight driver that floats in water, made with extra grippy plastic.
Stability
The Dragon 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.
