Innova Aero Champion

The Innova Aero in Champion series plastic is a great putter. It flies straight and is very durable. The distance is what you would expect from a putter. The disc is not overally rigid, so if your a fan of stiff putters look some place else. Otherwise, great disc.

Accuracy: 9
Distance: 8

Innova Eagle DX

The Innova Eagle DX, like the Teebird, is a very accurate disc. There really isn't much else to say, these discs are very similar.

Our ratings:
Accuracy: 9
Distance: 7

Innova Teebird DX

The Innova Teebird DX is a great driver for beginners and professionals alike. With pin-point accuracy it is perfect for tight fairways. On wide open holes you might want to reach for a longer range disc but besides that the disc is very impressive.

Accuracy: 9.5

About our disc ratings

Throughout this blog you will find disc reviews and the ratings that we gave them. We rate the discs in two catagories; distance and accuracy. We take into account disc types in our ratings. For example a putter would not be compared to a driver in distance and likewise a driver would not be compared to a putter in accuracy. We will also give a short description of our reactions to the disc and what we thought of it. Of course however, our ratings are a 100% subjective so we encourage you, the readers, to write back with your own reviews.

How do you play disc golf?

Disc golf is played in a similar manner as ball golf. The initial "drive" is taken from a designated tee area. Each subsequent throw is taken from just behind the spot where the disc came to rest. Each throw is added to the player's score. As with ball golf, each hole is given a par rating. A common strategy for a par-three hole, as in golf, would be drive (long throw toward the basket), approach (mid-range throw to the "green"), putt (short throw into the basket). The hole is scored when the disc has come to rest in the target basket or when it hits the designated part of an object if there are no baskets and it is an object course.
Hyzer and anhyzer refer to the release angle of a disc. A shot thrown with hyzer is released with the outside edge of the disc angled down towards the ground. A shot thrown with anhyzer is released with the outside edge of the disc pointed up towards the sky.

What is Disc Golf?



Disc Golf (sometimes called folf, frolf, or Frisbee golf) is a game based on the rules of golf (referred to by disc golfers as "ball golf" or "stick golf"). It uses flying discs which are similar to the Frisbee, but usually smaller and more dense. The discs are thrown towards a target, which serves as the "hole". The official targets are metal baskets with hanging chains to catch the discs (pictured right).
