The Innova Star Leopard is the classic, straight flying fairway driver most disc golfers cut their teeth on. Star plastic adds grip and durability over the DX version that ships in starter sets, without losing the easy, forgiving flight that makes the Leopard so popular.

Flight Numbers: 6 / 5 / -2 / 1

Star plastic grips confidently in most conditions and holds a slightly more stable flight out of the box than a fresh DX Leopard, then settles into a smooth, controllable turn as it beats in. It is durable enough to survive plenty of tree hits during the learning process this disc is made for.

Thrown with moderate power it flies straight with limited fade, which is why new players see more usable distance out of a Leopard than almost any other disc. With more speed it turns over nicely into a wide, sweeping line, and dropping the nose on release turns it into a dependable roller for getting under branches. It is a disc that keeps teaching you things even after you are not a beginner anymore.

Best for beginners looking for their first fairway driver, and still useful for advanced players who want a reliable turnover option or a roller for tight, wooded holes.
