PA-5

Leopard
The Leopard is the classic, straight-flying Innova fairway driver. This disc is very popular in starter sets thanks to the reliable flight path and limited fade. It’s not the fastest flying disc (speed 6) but new players will likely see more distance with the Leopard than just about any other disc. While the Leopard is great for beginners, it can be found in bags of more advanced players as well. With moderate throws this disc is perfect for weaving between narrow lines of trees. It also makes a good turnover driver that slices to the right, and a good roller disc as well. If you want a great disc to perfect your throwing technique, buy a handful of inexpensive DX Leopards and head to a field.

Buzzz SS
The Buzzz SS is a less stable verzion of the ultra-popular Discraft Buzzz. This midrange has a similar feel to the Buzzz, with a rounder, smoother feeling rim. Players that want that Buzzz flight but can't quite get it to fly straight, or players that love the rounded, convex rim shape will love the Buzzz SS. Don't be fooled, this is not an understable midrange, like the Meteor or Comet. This is a straight flyer meant to be workable for low to even moderately high powered shots.
