Innova Disc Golf Halloween 2026 Proto Glow Champion Arachnid
by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-26HW-ARA (REF2862-12)
Description
The Innova Proto Glow Champion Arachnid midrange is a fast-feeling, max-glide midrange built to stay straight, 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 straight, gliding mid lines. This listing is the Halloween 2026 release of the Arachnid.
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
Like the Fox, the Arachnid feels fast for a midrange and pushes forward with maximum glide. But where the Fox is designed to turn easily, the Arachnid is built to stay straight under more power, with added torque resistance and a touch more finish.
Stability
The Arachnid 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 | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| 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. |

FAQ
Is the Innova Arachnid good for beginners?
