    This disc after a round or two, beat into a great hyzer flip disc to flat, with a nice turn and slight fade. I recently lost it to Brazos Park East. Immediately bought another.

    This review is for the Champion Glow Leaopard3. 
    Initially, I bought this disc to replace my GStar Leo3, and thought I'd get a similar hyzerflip with turn mid flight. This is definitely not what I got. The Champion Glow plastic is way more stable, especially out of the box. For me, I would say this flies like a beat in Champ Teebird, with slightly less glide. Throw it flat and hard, you'll probably get some turn out of it, but I release everything on a slight hyzer. 
    In terms of feel, the disc feels amazing in the hand, and has a good amount of grip. It's pretty flat top, so this will be super secure in your hand. 
    I've been reaching for this disc a lot for 300ft hyzer shots, and I'm looking forward to see how this disc develops as it breaks in. Highly recommend. 4.7 Stars.

    The Champion Glow Leopard3 is great for any arm speed on the course.

    For beginners you can expect a straight flight that will fade at the end of the flight. It can be easily manipulated by amateurs arms to carry their max distance in a tailwind or to navigate any type of terrain presented by the course. 

    For disc golfers with higher arm speeds the Leopard3 can be controlled for numerous scenarios on the course. It will easily flip up on a hyzer flip shot that can pure any wooded line you may need. With exceptional arm speed it can also carry a long turnover line, with ease, while flattening out to straight once completing the turn.

    The Leopard3 presents opportunity to fill many styles of shots and gaps in your bag.

    The leopard 3 has a comfortable seven speed rim, and a flatter top than the original leopard. Overall this disc flies a nice turnover line, and is very controllable. The disc does take some time to figure out however, and getting the angles right is very important when throwing this disc. I think this is a great disc for someone new to the game as they can expect decent distance with low effort. For advanced players however this disc will be a hyzer flip to turnover disc. This disc is a great compliment to the teebird. I give this disc 4 stars just because it is very sensitive to variances in form, and therefore getting it to turn and fade consistently takes a lot of practice.

    Disc:  Champion Glow Leopard3 - 175 grams

    Feel & Look: The Champion Glow Leopard3 is flatter than the Champion one I compared it to. The plastic is fairly rigid new, but I expect it to gain some flexibility as it wears in. Some variance in grip & flexibity exists in the Champion Glow plastic that Innova makes but I found the Leopard3 had a good amount of grip without being overly rigid. I am able to powergrip the Leopard3 on backhand throws without issue. Forehand grips are pretty comfortable with the flatness & grip allowing for more touch shots when necessary.

    Glow Champion stamp looks pretty nice and the glow is sufficient to find it in the dark. The mold name is debossed on the bottom center instead of penned.

    Flight: Off the shelf, the Leopard3 had a good amount of controllable turn in calmer conditions. Hyzer flip fairway shots will flip up and hold a turn for a good portion of the flight when given enough air and appropriate power (full flight distance out to ~370 ft for me). The utility of having a disc like this comes from being able to throw it powered down situations (standstill, get out of trouble, roller, narrow gaps) and keep it on the fairway while still getting great distance. Players should be careful to monitor wind conditions as any headwind likely will turn the Leo3 over into a roller.

    Impressions: Leopards (and other similar fairway drivers) have long been a standard first driver for new players in baseline/midline plastics for their ease of use and engineered turn off the shelf. Progressing on to a more durable premium plastic is often the next step after the base plastic driver. The Champion Glow Leopard3 would be a great choice for players at wanting to learn how to throw drivers using finesse & hyzerflip techniques.

    Experienced players who are seeking a premium plastic fairway driver will appreciate the Champion Glow Leopard3's flight pattern off the shelf (other premium plastic versions may require more power off the shelf to produce the same turn or a long period to beat in). Further use is needed to test if it will retain close to the same stability. I hope so because its been really useful for shots I can't execute with a straight or hyzer forehand.

    Comparisons: I would place the Champ Glow Leopard3 near the bottom of the stability spectrum for premium plastic fairway drivers molded by Innova (170-175 gram) below the JLS and FD and other premium plastic Leopards & Leopard3s I've thrown (I expect the flatness has something to do with it)

    1. Millennium JLS (All plastics about the same)
    2. Discmania FD (C-Line/Color Glow C-Line/S-line)
    3. Innova Leopard/3 (MF/Champ/Glow Champ)
