Innova Makani Flight Chart and Overview
The Innova Makani is a large-diameter, superclass disc with flight numbers of 2 | 7 | -2 | 0. While it’s PDGA approved for play, the Makani is best known as a versatile catch disc and warm-up flyer that doubles as a gentle approach disc. Built in soft, durable DX plastic and available in glow editions, the Makani delivers unmatched glide and a neutral flight ideal for players of all ages and skill levels.
Makani Flight Path for Beginners
Beginners will find the Makani extremely forgiving. Its slow speed and high glide make it effortless to keep in the air, and its neutral flight path means it goes straight with almost no fade. Perfect for learning basic throwing form or introducing friends and family to disc golf.
Flight Chart for Intermediate Players
Intermediate players can use the Makani as a fun warm-up or touch disc. With a light throw, it holds gentle hyzer or anhyzer angles, while higher speeds produce long, slow-turning flights. It’s ideal for calm weather rounds, upshots under 150 feet, or accurate floaty putts that need to land softly.
Flight Ratings for Advanced and Professional Disc Golfers
Advanced players appreciate the Makani’s unique glide and control for practice, warming up, or trick shots. It’s also a legal option for superclass events. When powered correctly, it can carve delicate turnovers or laser-straight touch shots with pinpoint accuracy—but it’s easily affected by wind and torque.
Flight Path for Forehand Throws
Though designed mainly for backhand throws, the Makani surprises many players with its forehand potential. Its wider rim and glidey flight make for short, controlled sidearm tosses that finish flat or drift slightly right (RHFH). Just keep the power down for best results.

Puttheads Notes
The Makani isn’t your typical golf disc—it’s more of a hybrid between a disc golf midrange and a beach flyer. Reviewers consistently praise its 7 glide rating and effortless straight flight, calling it one of the most fun and beginner-friendly discs on the market. Whether you’re playing catch at the park or warming up before a round, the Makani’s flight path is pure joy to watch.
