Innova Cobra – Smooth Control for Beginners and Finesse Players
The Innova Cobra is a classic large-diameter mid-range with a flight rating of 4 | 5 | -2 | 2. Designed for beginner-level players and those seeking reliable turnover shots, the Cobra is a disc that ages gracefully with your game. It’s especially useful for developing clean form, thanks to its glide and understable profile.
This disc performs beautifully on long, slow-turning lines and makes an excellent roller when broken in. The thinner rim and ergonomic profile make it easy to grip, especially for players with smaller hands or those transitioning from putters. When you need a mid that flies straight and finishes with a gentle fade—or turns over with ease—the Cobra is ready to strike.
