About the Leopard

Leopard: Innova’s understable fairway driver

The Innova Leopard is an understable fairway driver and a common first driver. Two of turn against one of fade means it turns early and finishes soft.

That makes it a hyzer-flip and turnover disc. Six speed is slow enough that most players see the whole flight, and five glide keeps it up long enough to use the turn. It flips to flat easily, holds a long right line, and lands gently rather than skipping away. Stronger arms will turn it over past recovery. In a headwind it flips and runs, and one point of fade will not bring it back.

How much the Leopard turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
