Wedge
The Wedge is a unique disc that is a cross between a midrange and a putter. This is a very understable putter – one that many disc golfers neglect to have in their bags. Those who are beginning to try out the “straddle-putt” style would do well to try the Wedge, since the understability counteracts the natural hyzer from the awkward release angle.

Wolf
The Wolf is the most understable midrange disc that Innova offers.

If you notice your disc falling just to the left of the basket (for back hand, right-handed players), then the Wolf may be your solution! The Wolf is a fairly low profile disc that somewhat resembles the catch and throw style. Available in a wide range of weights, from 150 grams to a heavier 180 grams, only in Innova’s affordable DX plastic.
