Innova DX Rhyno 2 | 1 | 0 | 3
For players who want precision distance control combined with superior grip and an affordable price point, the Innova DX Rhyno is an absolute bag essential. Serving as a foundational option in the Innova Rhyno Collection, this highly reliable, overstable putt and approach disc has been a fan favorite since its PDGA approval in 1998. Whether you are searching our disc golf putters collection for a grippy baseline headwind putter or exploring the wider Innova collection for a disc you can cycle as it wears, the DX Rhyno delivers exactly what you need.
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. When fresh, the 0 turn and 3 fade provide excellent overstability to fight off-axis torque. However, because DX plastic beats in quicker than premium blends, your DX Rhyno will gradually lose some of its harsh fade over time, morphing into a highly dependable, straight-flying approach disc.

The DX 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 in all weather conditions.
- Blunt Nose Design: A thick, rounded profile dampens its forward momentum upon hitting the ground, minimizing flare skips and ensuring the disc stops on a dime.
- Bag Cycling Utility: Because the DX plastic is designed to break in, players love carrying multiple DX Rhynos in various stages of wear to cover both overstable and straight approach shots with the same comfortable grip.
DX Plastic
Innova’s DX plastic is their original baseline blend. It is the most affordable option in their lineup and offers a chalky, highly tacky grip that performs exceptionally well in rain, cold weather, and high humidity. While it does not have the sheer durability of premium translucent plastics, its ability to "beat in" and season quickly is a highly sought-after feature for advanced players who want to dial in specific, straighter flight paths for their approach game.

Looking for a premium variant that maintains its overstability forever, or a softer blend to grab the chains? See how the DX compares to the rest of the lineup:
- Champion Rhyno: A premium, ultra-durable translucent plastic that retains its maximum overstability over years of heavy use.
- R-Pro Rhyno: A highly flexible, extra-grippy "soft" plastic that absorbs energy upon impact to prevent rollaways on dangerous greens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I choose DX plastic for an approach disc?
DX plastic offers superior all-weather grip and affordability. More importantly, it allows you to cycle your discs. As a DX Rhyno hits trees and the ground, it will lose its heavy fade and become a straight-flying workhorse, allowing you to carry the same comfortable mold for different shot shapes.
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 distinct resting place for your thumb, offering superior grip and confidence for both putting and approach shots.
Is the DX Rhyno good for beginners?
While an overstable 3 fade is generally too aggressive for beginners seeking straight distance, the Rhyno’s low 1 glide and blunt nose make it a fantastic utility disc for newer players learning how to approach the basket without sailing past it.
