Innova Champion Beast
2
The Innova Champion Beast is a stable distance driver with an old school shape that flies more like a fast fairway driver than a modern high speed mold. It has been in Innova's lineup for decades, and it's still the driver plenty of players learn maximum distance on.
Flight Numbers: 10 / 5 / -2 / 2
Champion plastic on the Beast is stiff, durable, and translucent, holding its stability for years without much wear. It's smooth in the hand with a comfortable rim that doesn't demand a huge grip, which is part of why the Beast works for both forehand and backhand throwers. Compared to Innova's DX base plastic, Champion resists chunking on tree hits and keeps its turn longer before beating in.
Thrown flat with real speed it turns hard early and glides out into a long, gradual finish, settling into a straight run around 300 feet before a balanced fade closes it out. Slower arms get an easier turnover than most 10 speed drivers, since the Beast doesn't demand full power to open up. World champion Barry Schultz has thrown it for exactly that reason, it rewards a clean release more than raw arm speed. New players stepping up from a fairway driver find it forgiving, and advanced throwers use it for turnover shots and tailwind holes where a flippier line pays off.
