The Coyote is a straight, gentle midrange from Innova, rated 4 / 5 / 0 / 1 — a large-diameter, soft-feeling disc for straight approaches, short drives and turnover lines.
Zero turn and one fade on five glide is a disc that goes where it is pointed and floats there. Innova pitches it for “straight, gentle turnover, or hyzer shots”, and that is the full range: a slow arm gets a straight flight with a soft left finish, a harder arm can lean on it for a turnover or a roller without it dumping. The glide is the useful part — it carries further than the speed suggests on a short drive. Infinite’s 18 reviewers average it at 4 / 4.6 / -0.7 / 1.2, reading a little more turn than the rating, which fits a disc most people throw harder than a midrange needs.
It sits at the straight-to-understable end of Innova’s midranges, beside the Stingray and beneath the Roc in stability, and at 21.7 cm it is the same big-diameter class as the Roc. The limit is wind and power: with one fade it will not fight a headwind, and a strong arm on a flat release will turn it.
PDGA approved on 7 June 2005. It is unusually soft for a premium-plastic midrange — a PDGA flexibility of 5.56 kg, about half a Roc — which is where the “friendly grip” Innova describes comes from. Innova does not explain the name.
Innova lists it in Star at 165–180 g; Champion and DX runs have been sold through retailers. Innova still catalogues it but TryDiscs lists it as discontinued and stock is thin.
How much the Coyote turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Coyote was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
