Best Beginner-Friendly Innova Midrange Discs
Best Beginner-Friendly Innova Midrange Discs
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.

Cobra
The Cobra is a beginner-friendly stable midrange golf disc. It has a relatively narrow rim that helps provide great control for backhand throws. When thrown with a little speed, the Cobra will see a high-speed turn followed by a significant amount of low-speed fade. The Cobra isn’t the straightest flying midrange disc on the market, but it will usually go where you want it to. The Innova Cobra is available in the inexpensive DX plastic. This is a great disc for beginners.

Shark
The Shark is an excellent beginner disc, and is included in Innova's DX starter set. Many say that this disc holds a fantastic line, while the throwing style of others creates an extremely sharp fade at the end of flight. This disc is the ideal disc for getting through areas full of small obstacles.

Wombat3
The Wombat3 is a V-Tech version of the Wombat. This means it has a big bead around the bottom for extra torque-resistance. This disc will hold straight and steady forever, or if put on an anny, it will hold the line with a small forward fade at the end.

Fox
The Innova Fox is a neutral-to-understable midrange with a low profile, microbead, and low parting line. Its shallower rim gives it a feel that crosses between a midrange and a fairway driver, making it comfortable in the hand and easy to release cleanly. The Fox comes out of the hand with gentle turn and carries straight with minimal effort. It excels at hyzer flips, standstills, anhyzers, and low-ceiling shots where shaping angles and controlling touch are key.

Wolf
The Wolf is the most understable midrange disc that Innova offers. For that reason, this disc is preferable for those who have a difficult time throwing level, and who instead keep their wrist lower in their throw. 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.

Shark3
The Shark3 is “faster and sleeker" than the original Shark. This is a stable midrange designed to attack the fairways as a predictable shot shaper. This disc features a smooth rim that allows for a consistent release. Unlike the original Shark, which is available only in DX plastic, the Shark3 is available in Innova’s blend of Champion plastic, which has slightly more grip and brighter translucent colors.

Mako
Looking for a straight flying golf disc? It doesn’t get better than the Innova Mako. The Mako is well known for its straight-flying, straight-finishing flight path. This is the fastest flying disc that offers both a 0 turn and 0 glide rating. The super-stable Mako will fly how you want it to. If you throw it level, this disc will go straight with very little fade. If you throw it at an anhyzer angle, it will stay turned over. Throw it hyzer and the Mako will curve to the left at the degree of the angle. This disc is so stable its flight characteristics are consistent no matter how hard you throw it.

Jay
The Innova Jay is a micro-beaded Mid-Range with a true-to-release flight, and it will be a staple in bags everywhere. This all-purpose disc can handle power or be finessed. It has better torque resistance than most Mid-Ranges, but still finishes straight. It is one of Innova's most point-and-shoot discs on the market. The Jay’s low-profile design fits comfortably in your hand for a clean release every throw.

Atlas
The Atlas is the first disc manufactured by Innova that combines two different plastics in the same disc. This method of utilizing a rim piece that is composed of a different plastic from the flight plate is called an ‘overmold’ and has been very successful for MVP. The rim of the Atlas is composed of a gummy composite which provides unparallelled grip, durability, and consistency in flight. On the underside of the rim there are four ‘compass’ points (hence the Atlas name). These points help secure the outer rim with the inner flight plate.

Rollo
"This is a disc that just about anybody can roll," says Dave Dunipace, founder of Innova. The Rollo was made for rolling, but it can also be useful for turnover shots through tight wooded fairways. This disc will be a true beginner's disc, very resistant to fading out to the left for a right-handed backhand throw. It has a ton of turn and plenty of glide. The unique understable flight of the Rollo has made it a fan favorite for unique shot shapes and varieties.

Super Stingray
The Super Stingray is just like the Stingray, except it’s super! This version flies straighter and is made for players with slightly more power. With a blunt nose, this disc is definitely a go-to when you’ve got a small opening to get through!
