About different plastics and how they affects flight characteristics:

Although the disc ratings most closely resemble the flight characteristics of the Champion plastic, the ratings are an average for the different types of plastics. Specifics about each type are described:

Innova DX Line Golf Discs are produced with Deluxe plastic and offers the widest selection of models and weights. These discs are affordably priced and provide an excellent grip in a variety of weather situations. As they are used over time, DX discs eventually take on new and varied flight characteristics. Many top pros carry several DX discs of their favorite models to provide different flight patterns for different situations. Some DX discs are available in glow-in-the-dark plastic or with Full Color hot stamps. Most models are available for custom hot stamping.

New discs start out being more overstable, but with use, will match the ratings. With continued use, the DX plastic will eventually become more understable than the ratings. Understable discs are more desireable at higher elevations.

Innova Pro Line Golf Discs are manufactured using a special blend of plastics and are designed to provide unique qualities for each available model. They are more durable than DX discs and provide more grip than Champion plastic. Pro Line discs provide more glide than DX and Champion. The special blends of our Pro Line plastic can produce discs in a wide range of rigidity, from the extremely soft and flexible Pro Rhyno or JK Aviar to the stiff, firm plastic of the KC Pro Aviar. Regardless of the firmness of the disc, all of the INNOVA Pro Line models offer unique gripablity. Many Pro Line discs are also available in colorful I-Dye designs. Some models are now available for custom hot stamping.

New discs start out being slightly less overstable.

Innova Champion Line Golf Discs are produced with a unique plastic that provides outstanding performance and durability. Champion golf discs are distinguished by a clear or pearlescent plastic. Champion Line golf discs retain original flight characteristics for an extended period of time. Whether used in heavily wooded situations, or on extremely rugged courses, the Champion Line plastic will continue to perform predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic. Originally designed for professional players, Champion Line golf discs can handle the increased power of top level players. Many Champion Line golf discs are available for custom hot stamping.

Champion plastic will retain their flight rating characteristics for a longer period of time.

Innova Star Line Golf Discs are made with a special blend of grippy resilient polymers. Star Plastic offers the same outstanding durability of Champion Plastic plus improved grip like Pro plastic. High performance, longevity, and superior grip describe the Star line golf discs.

Star line golf discs have the same flight rating characteristics as Champion golf discs although some Star discs may be slightly more high-speed stable. They retain their flight rating characteristics for a longer period of time.

Innova Glow Plastic is produced with a unique plastic that illuminates when exposed to light. It will hold a charge for a while, and can be easily recharged with a flashlight, UV light (blacklight) or camera flash. Glow plastic was one of our first premium plastics and it has a unique gritty feel that many players like, especially in Aviars and ROCs.
