Innova Disc Golf Proto Glow Champion TL3 Fairway Driver 5/6/-4/1 - Choose Exact
Description
The Innova Proto Glow Champion TL3 fairway driver is a faster, more controllable TL, molded in Proto Glow Champion plastic. It's built for players who want a straight, easy-to-control flight, and it's at its best on controlled straight drives. If you're shopping for a dependable TL3 for your bag, this Proto Glow Champion run is a great place to start.
Proto Glow Champion Plastic
Proto Glow is Innova's major upgrade over its older, fast-fading glow plastics. It glows significantly brighter and lasts much longer, holding visible illumination for 20 minutes or more. Proto Glow Champion is the premium, durable version with a glowing core. Designed for professional players, Champion discs are usually a little firmer and more stable than the same model in other plastics, and they keep performing predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic, even on wooded or rugged courses.
The Mold
The TL3 is the "3" top version of the TL, more controllable and a bit faster than the standard TL.
Stability
The TL3 is neutral-to-stable. Neutral discs fly straight and true with very little turn or fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with only a slight drift left as it slows down. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with a gentle drift right at the finish. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's an easy choice for beginners and a reliable tool for experienced players.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 8 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
