Innova Leopard
The Innova Leopard is a understable fairway driver (6/5/-2/1) - good for intermediate players.
Our take on the Leopard
If you are learning to throw distance and most drivers fade hard left before you finish your follow-through, the Innova Leopard is the disc that finally rewards you. At speed 6 with 5 glide, a -2 turn and a gentle 1 fade, it is genuinely understable - the numbers say it will hold an anhyzer line, turn over for you off the tee, and float forward instead of dumping into the ground. The narrow 1.6 cm rim and beadless profile make it easy to grip and release cleanly, which matters when your form is still developing.
Throw it flat with a clean release and the Leopard will turn right (for a right-handed backhand) and ride that line a long way before a soft, predictable fade brings it back. That mild minus-1 stability also makes it a reliable turnover and roller disc for stronger arms, and a controllable workhorse for anyone fighting a forehand.
Get it in cheap DX to learn on, or Champion plastic for durability - the Leopard is the textbook understable trainer, much like Discraft's Stratus.
