Innova Disc GolfSet – Driver, Mid-Range & Putter, Comfortable DX Plastic, Colors May Vary (3 Pack)

If you are new to disc golf, you are in for a steep but manageable learning curve. Throwing a golf disc is not at all like throwing a Frisbee, and many beginners fail to understand this and get quickly frustrated. One of the most common mistakes is for a new player to buy random golf discs and start trying to play. Disc descriptions such as "long, straight distance driver" can be misleading, and a new player will quickly lose hope as they watch their "distance driver" fly for 30 or 40 feet, bank sharply to the left, and nosedive into the gound again and again.The Innova beginner's set takes much of the guesswork out of learning the sport. The set includes three discs that are selected especially for beginners. The Leopard sets the standard for begginers' drivers, and for good reason. Its flight pattern is straight with a gentle left fade (for right-handed players) when thrown at beginner speeds. As the player gains experience and develops their throw, the Leopard will turn slightly right before fading back to the left, and once the player has enough speed and power behind their throws and has outgrown the Leopard as a regular driver, it will still see use as a right-fading or rollover disc.Innova's midrange offering, the Shark, is in my opinion the best beginner disc made by any company. I have been playing disc golf for 15 years, and there has never been a time when I did not have a Shark in my bag. Simply put, it goes where you throw it, and it is minimally affected by variables such as wind speed and direction, how fast it is thrown, etc. Additionally, it is very resistant to rolling over at higher speeds, and as such it is a disc that you will not outgrow as your skill and power increases.The Aviar is Innova's putter for this set. The Aviar is a pretty average putter, but not spectacular in any way. The included disc is optimal for shots 20 feet and shorter; longer shots at the basket would probably be better handled by the Shark. Like all discs, the Aviar fades a little left at the end of its flight, but if thrown too fast or too far, it will curve to the right before doing so. This changes the point of aim at various distances, and so makes it a bit difficult for beginners in my opinion. Regardless, for shots less than 20 feet, it behaves fairly consistently. Beginners will appreciate that the profile is very similar to a Frisbee in the way that it feels, which lends some intuitiveness to throwing the Aviar.If I could make one change to this set, it would be to include some better how-to instructions for new players. As it is, Innova has some very helpful and informative articles on their website, and dozens of helpful videos are available on YouTube to help new and seasoned players alike improve their game. Spending a few minutes using these resources will pay bigger dividends than months of going to a disc golf course and trying to figure things out on your own.

I am new to frisbee golf and needed a set of discs. This set is a great set of starter discs. It comes with 3 total disc one long range one mid range and one putter. I love that I was able to buy the set rather than having to buy each individual disc. This set was a great value and the discs worked great. They are highly visible and fly really well. The discs are also very durable. I have heard from a few people of discs that they will use for one round and the edges are beat up and scuffed but after 18 holes the discs still look practically brand new. Overall I am happy with the discs and would not hesitate to recommend this set to a beginner or seasoned disc golfer. Also From what I can tell while you always get thee 3 ranges of discs the actual disc name combination can differ for each set.

Solid quality discs; ideal for getting into the game. Comfortable in your hand and fly well. I've heard from multiple sources that the Leopard is the perfect first driver and thus far I'm pleased. However, the retail listed on this product is inflated making this look like a better deal than it actually is. Retail is $29 NOT $50.

I bought this for my dad because he wanted to start playing disc golf with me. This set comes with three discs:1. Leopard (Fairway Driver)2. Shark (Mid Range)3. Aviar (Putter/Approach)The Leopard is everyone's go-to first driver. It's easy to throw and learn how to play with for beginners. I think just about anyone who has played a significant amount of frolf has owned and thrown a Leopard.The Shark, like the Leopard, is an easy to throw mid range. It's not the best mid range in the world for beginners (I would suggest Disc Craft Buzzz) but it's a solid addition that will help them learn the game.The Aviar is an amazing putter. It's easy for beginners to use and I know a few people who have played for YEARS who still swear by their Aviars.If you're just getting started, this is the set for you. If you play for awhile you outgrow this set, but that will happen with any discs you buy.

I was a little confused on how to rate this product because when I bought it it was listed as the Innova DX Starter Kit (I checked my previous orders and that particular one links back here) but now is being listed as the Champion Set; the main difference being is that Champion plastic is much more durable than there standard DX plastic. Innova needs to fix this so people know what they're buying. Anyhow, I decided to give them 5 stars because at the time I bought these discs I got exactly what was listed and I was expecting: a nice starter kit to get the feel of the sport. They advertised the set as containing the Leopard, Shark, and Aviar discs which is exactly what I got. If you're looking for a beginner's set with all you need to learn the basics of the game, I highly recommend you buy this. If you are more experienced and came here looking for high quality plastics, I am sorry, but Innova screwed up and listed the wrong product.

I got the Leopard(Pink), Shark(Orange), and the Aviar(Blue) which seems to be pretty standard. Apparently you can get variants from the other reviews I had read. I'm definitely happy with what I got. These discs hold up well and are great for beginners. Both the Leopard and the Aviar are top notch discs and are staples in the game, The Shark is decent. All the discs are good but are outclassed by other molds and brands, but that doesn't mean it's not a great disc. Don't be discouraged by people comparing Discraft set to the Innova set, both are great brands and each disc is meant to do a different job. I would say buy either or buy both to fill up your bag. This is an amazing buy at a great price.
