About the Shark

Shark: Innova’s stable mid-range driver

The Innova Shark is a versatile mid-range disc that offers reliable flight characteristics. Similar to the Roc, it provides straight shots with minimal fade, making it suitable for both drives and mid-range sidearm shots. The Shark is available in Star, GStar, and DX plastic options, providing players with different levels of durability and grip.

Regarded as one of the best all-around golf discs, the Shark offers exceptional accuracy for drives and approach shots, and can even be used for putting. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for beginners, especially in lighter weights.

The Shark excels in stable straight shots, hyzer shots, and sidearm mid-range shots. Whether you need a disc that holds a straight line, performs controlled hyzers, or accommodates sidearm throws, the Shark delivers reliable performance.

With its smooth rim and consistent release, the Shark provides a comfortable grip and dependable flight. It offers good carry and reacts well to various shot scenarios, making long approaches easier to execute. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, the Shark is a reliable and versatile mid-range disc that will enhance your game.
