About the Gator3

Gator3: Innova’s overstable mid-range driver

The Innova Gator3 is an overstable midrange with almost no glide. Two glide against three of fade means it does not float — it goes where it is thrown and drops.

That makes it a utility disc for spike hyzers, forced angles and headwind approaches. Five speed is easy to reach, and the very low glide is the feature: the flight is short, flat and completely predictable, with no drift at the end. Distance is not on offer. Two glide caps how far it goes, so the Gator3 is a disc for shots that need to land in a specific place, not for covering ground.

How much the Gator3 turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
