by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-DX-Dra (REF807-22)
Description
The Innova DX Dragon fairway driver is a lightweight driver that floats in water, molded in DX plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on easy distance and water holes. If you're shopping for a dependable Dragon 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
The Dragon is a lightweight driver that floats in water, made with extra grippy plastic.
Stability
The Dragon is stable-to-understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
