Innova Champion Shryke 13 | 6 | -1 | 2
If you love the massive, effortless glide of the Shryke but need a bit more bite and wind resistance, the Innova Champion Shryke is exactly what you are looking for. Uniquely rated with a -1 turn—making it noticeably more stable than the rest of the Shryke lineup—the Champion Shryke balances high-speed turn with a highly dependable finish. Molded in Innova's ultra-durable, translucent plastic, this 13-speed bomber is built to handle faster arm speeds and hold its sweet spot for seasons to come. Add this incredibly reliable distance driver to your Innova Shryke Collection and upgrade the top end of your Innova lineup.
Flight Numbers & Performance
While standard Star and Pro Shrykes feature a heavily understable -2 turn, the Champion Shryke officially boasts flight numbers of 13 | 6 | -1 | 2. This distinct change means it takes a bit more power to turn over, making it significantly more reliable in headwinds and for players with faster arm speeds. You still benefit from the legendary 6 glide that keeps the disc soaring, but with a tighter, more controllable flight path that resists burning over into the ground.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 6 | -1 | 2 |
How the Champion Shryke fits your game:
- Wind-Fighting Glide: The -1 turn gives it enough high-speed stability to handle moderate headwinds without aggressively flipping over.
- Power Hyzer-Flips: Throw it hard on a hyzer angle and it will pop up to flat, riding a dead-straight line with massive carry before its reliable fade kicks in.
- Controlled Distance: When you need the massive distance of a 13-speed but can't afford a wide, sweeping S-curve that might drift out of bounds, the Champion Shryke keeps things tight and predictable.
The Champion Plastic Advantage
Innova’s Champion plastic is a top-tier, translucent blend renowned for its elite durability. Because of how it cools during manufacturing, Champion plastic tends to mold up stiffer and more overstable than opaque blends like Star or Pro. For the Shryke, this changes the mold so much that Innova officially adjusted the flight numbers just for this plastic. It will retain this dependable, slightly more stable flight for years, taking heavy tree kicks without permanently altering its flight path.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Champion Shryke have a -1 turn instead of -2?
Innova officially adjusts the flight numbers on the Champion Shryke to reflect how the plastic molds up. Champion plastic cools stiffer and creates a slightly more overstable disc than Star or Pro. Because it resists turning over more than the other plastics, it is rated with a tighter -1 turn.
Is the Champion Shryke good for beginners?
Because it is a 13-speed driver with added stability from the Champion plastic, it is not recommended for beginners. Newer players stepping up to distance drivers will have much better luck with a Pro or Star Shryke (which feature the more forgiving -2 turn) to help maximize their glide and distance at slower arm speeds.
How long does Champion plastic take to beat in?
Champion is Innova's most durable plastic. It will retain its out-of-the-box flight characteristics for a very long time, often taking a full season or more of regular play to noticeably beat into a more understable, "flippy" flight. This makes it an incredible long-term investment for your bag.
