Innova
SKU: DG-INV-DX-Lio (REF831-10)
Description
The Innova DX Lion midrange is a stable midrange that attacks at any angle, molded in DX plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on hyzer, flat, and anhyzer mid shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Lion for your bag, this DX run is a great place to start.
DX Plastic
DX is Innova's value plastic, offered in the widest selection of models and weights. It provides excellent grip in a variety of weather, and it wears in with use, gradually taking on new flight characteristics. Many top pros carry several DX discs of their favorite models for different flight patterns.
The Mold
Tame your midrange shots: defined by its stable flight, the Lion will attack at any angle, whether hyzer, flat, or anhyzer.
Stability
The Lion is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers

| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Innova Lion good for beginners?
Yes. The Lion's predictable flight makes it easy to trust as you learn.
Is the Innova Lion overstable?
Not really. The Lion is stable, rated 5/4/0/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between DX and Champion plastic?
DX is affordable and grippy and wears in over time. Champion is clear, firmer, and far more durable, holding its flight much longer.
What disc is similar to the Innova Lion?
The Innova Roc3 (5/4/0/3) is a fast, straight Roc with a stronger fade.
How far does the Innova Lion fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 275 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
