Innova Champion Rhyno 2 | 1 | 0 | 3
If you need an approach disc that charges hard and drops exactly where you want it, the Innova Champion Rhyno is the ultimate tool for the job. A legendary staple in the Innova Rhyno Collection, this highly reliable, overstable putt and approach disc has been delivering extreme precision since it was originally PDGA approved in 1998. Whether you are browsing our disc golf putters collection for a trusty headwind putter or exploring the wider Innova collection for a torque-resistant approach disc, the Champion Rhyno is built to handle the heaviest of winds and stop on a dime.
Flight Numbers
Boasting flight ratings of 2 | 1 | 0 | 3, the Rhyno behaves exactly like its animal namesake. The incredibly low 1 glide ensures it charges heavily toward the target and drops out of the sky without overshooting the basket. The 0 turn and 3 fade provide high overstability, allowing the disc to fight off-axis torque and heavy headwinds for a highly predictable, hard-fading finish.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | 0 | 3 |
The Champion Rhyno delivers:
- Thumtrac™ Rim: The signature feature of the Rhyno is a raised track along the top outer edge. This provides an enhanced, locked-in grip for your thumb, maximizing control for both backhand and forehand grips.
- Blunt Nose Design: A thick, rounded profile dampens its forward momentum upon hitting the ground, minimizing flare skips and ensuring the disc stops right where it lands.
- Extreme Wind Resistance: The brick-like glide and aggressive fade make it a highly trustworthy putter when putting directly into a stiff headwind.
Champion Plastic
Innova’s Champion plastic is a premium, ultra-durable translucent blend designed to take a beating. For a highly overstable utility disc like the Rhyno, Champion plastic is often considered the ideal choice because it retains its maximum overstability over years of hitting trees, rocks, and chains. It will not beat in quickly, ensuring you have that same dependable, torque-resistant flight season after season.

Looking for a different feel or ground play? The Rhyno's flight can change significantly depending on the plastic blend you select:
- R-Pro Rhyno: A highly flexible, extra-grippy "soft" plastic that absorbs energy upon impact to grab the chains and prevent bad rollaways on dangerous greens.
- DX Rhyno: The most affordable option. It provides excellent baseline grip but beats in quickly to become a straighter flyer over time, perfect for bag cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Innova Thumtrac™ Rim?
The Thumtrac™ Rim is a raised, circular track located on the top flight plate near the outer edge of the disc. It provides a tactile resting place for your thumb, offering superior grip and confidence for both putting and approach shots.
Is the Champion Rhyno good for forehands?
Yes. The high overstability and 0 turn make the Rhyno very resistant to off-axis torque, allowing you to flick it with confidence. The Thumtrac™ also gives sidearm throwers an excellent grip point.
How does the 1 glide rating affect my throw?
A 1 glide means the disc wants to find the ground very quickly. It will not "float" or sail past the basket, making it incredibly precise for distance control on short upshots.
