Innova Gator

Innova Gator – Overstable Midrange for Reliable Wind Control

The Innova Gator is a staple overstable midrange built to conquer windy conditions and demand precision from its thrower. With flight ratings of 5 | 2 | 0 | 4, the Gator is designed for short drives and approach shots that must finish with a strong, predictable fade. Whether you’re fighting a stiff headwind or executing a touchy upshot, the Gator won’t turn over or drift offline.

What sets the Gator apart is its low glide and firm, consistent flight path. It won’t sail past your target or unexpectedly flip—this disc is all about control. The Gator is especially useful for players who throw with high power but need to dial back the distance without sacrificing confidence. Its reliable fade and torque resistance make it one of Innova’s most dependable tools for forehand flicks, hyzer approaches, and utility shots.

• Wind Fighter: Designed to hold up in tough conditions where glidey mids would falter.

Who Should Throw the Gator?

• Advanced Players: Great for disc golfers who throw hard and want a controlled, low-glide midrange.
• Forehand Throwers: The Gator’s shape and stability suit clean flicks and short forehand approach shots.
• Windy Course Players: If you regularly play in strong winds, the Gator is a must-have.
• Overstable Mid Fans: If you love the fade of the Discraft Zone but want more of a midrange feel, the Gator delivers.
