Innova Lion Flight Chart

The Innova Lion is a dependable, stable midrange disc with flight numbers 5 | 4 | 0 | 2. Designed for controlled lines and predictable finishes, the Lion offers a balanced combination of glide and fade without feeling overly beefy. Its comfortable, slightly beaded rim and torque-resistant profile make it a trustworthy option for backhand and forehand midrange shots. Players appreciate its versatility—straight shots, smooth hyzers, gentle flex lines, and accurate approaches all fall within the Lion’s wheelhouse.

Beginner-Friendly Flight Path

For newer players, the Lion acts as a slightly overstable midrange that reliably fades at the end of its flight. Beginners will find it forgiving on slight release errors, as the disc naturally works back to center. It’s excellent for building confidence on short drives and approaches where consistency matters more than raw distance.

Understanding the Flight Numbers for Intermediate Players

Intermediate throwers who generate more speed will see the Lion fly straighter for longer before its gentle fade kicks in. With a flat or slight hyzer release, the disc holds the line beautifully. Its 0 turn rating gives it resistance to unwanted drift, making it a great choice for controlled midrange drives, dependable hyzers, and clean forehand approaches.

Advanced & Pro-Level Lion Flight Characteristics

Advanced players unlock the Lion’s precision and workability. With solid arm speed, it can be pushed on flat lines, powered into tight fairways, or thrown on slight anhyzers where it will glide before reliably flattening out. The fade is deliberate rather than dumpy, giving experienced throwers control in shaping midrange lines even at higher torque levels.

Forehand Flight Path for the Innova Lion

Because of its torque resistance and rim shape, the Lion excels as a forehand midrange. Touch forehands stay straight with light finish, while more powerful forehand throws produce a controlled, forward-pushing fade. It’s especially dependable for approach shots where accuracy matters, offering consistency without the harsh fade of more overstable mids.
