The Innova Champion Leopard Reaper Edition is the classic, straight-flying understable fairway driver Innova has sold in starter sets for years, a speed 6 disc that gets new players more distance than almost anything else in their first bag.

Flight Numbers: 6 / 5 / -2 / 1

Champion plastic is Innova's ultra-durable, translucent premium blend, and it holds this disc's understable flight consistent for years without breaking down the way DX eventually does. It grips well in most conditions and takes tree hits without chunking, which matters on a disc this many people throw into the woods while learning.

Moderate power sends it weaving cleanly between tight lines of trees, and it also makes a solid turnover driver that slices right or a roller when you need one. Limited fade means it holds its line rather than fighting back at the end of the flight, which is exactly why it shows up in starter kits. It earns a spot in advanced bags too: plenty of experienced throwers keep a Leopard around for tunnel shots and specific turnover lines a faster driver cannot hit.

Want a premium plastic version of the same numbers? The Star Leopard flies identically with a slightly different grip. Looking for a comparable understable driver from another brand? The Discraft ESP Heat turns over just as easily. Browse our understable fairway drivers.
