Innova Champion Lynx 7 | 6 | -3 | 1
The Innova Champion Lynx is the same glide-centric fairway driver players know as the IT, now reintroduced with a name that is easier to search and recognize. While the name has changed, the flight remains exactly the same: an understable fairway driver built for effortless distance and controllable shot shaping. See every Lynx we stock in the Innova Lynx Collection Hub or shop our full fairway driver collection.
Flight Numbers
With flight numbers of 7 | 6 | -3 | 1, the Lynx thrives on glide and easy turn. It produces full flights without having to throw it hard, making it an excellent choice for developing players looking for their first fairway driver. The combination of high glide and understability allows players to get distance with smooth releases rather than raw power. It's 21.2 cm across and 1.6 cm tall with a 1.2 cm rim depth and a 1.8 cm rim width, and it was PDGA approved as the IT on August 2, 2021.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 6 | -3 | 1 |
For moderate to fast arm speeds, the Lynx becomes an extremely useful touch disc. It excels in situations where players want to power down while still getting distance.
The Champion Lynx delivers:
- Glide Focused: A high glide rating provides effortless distance.
- Shot Shaping: Excellent for turnovers, hyzer flips and finesse shots.
- Accessibility: A great first fairway driver for developing players.
- Champion Durability: Translucent Champion plastic holds its flight the longest.
It excels at:
- Standstill shots and awkward footing where you want to power down and still get distance
- Turnover lines through tight fairways
- Hyzer flips that flip up flat and glide
- Rollers and touch forehands
The Champion Plastic Advantage
Champion plastic is Innova's firm, translucent premium plastic. It's the most durable plastic Innova makes, so the Lynx keeps its flight a long time even after tree hits, and it flies a touch more stable than softer plastics. A couple of these are cross out stamps, which fly the same as the stock run. Check each option and pick your exact disc right on this page.
How the Lynx Fits in the Innova Lineup
- Vs the Halo Star Lynx: Same mold and flight numbers. Grippy Star plastic with a two-tone halo rim. It grips better when it's wet and feels a little softer in the hand.
- Vs the Proto Glow Champion Lynx: Same mold and flight numbers. Innova's brightest glow Champion plastic, made for night rounds.
- Vs the Innova Leopard3: The Leopard3 (7 | 5 | -2 | 1) has a little less glide and turn. It's a touch more stable and handles light wind better, while the Lynx glides farther and flips up more easily.
- Vs the Innova Fox: The Fox (5 | 6 | -2 | 1) is the midrange version of this flight. Think of the Lynx as a faster Fox, with more distance and the same glidey, easy control.
- Vs the Latitude 64 River: The River (7 | 7 | -1 | 1) has even more glide and flies straighter. The Lynx has more turn, so it's easier to shape turnover lines and rollers.
