Discs come in a wide variety of plastics. Some are better suited for certain scenarios than others, others are simply better quality and will last longer.
Every brand has their own names for the different plastic types. We’ve put this chart together as a general reference the next time you see a plastic name and want to know how it fairs!
| BASE PLASTIC | STANDARD PLASTIC | TRANSLUCENT PREMIUM PLASTIC | OPAQUE PREMIUM PLASTIC | SPECIAL EDITION |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
DX The original plastic from Innova. Almost every mold of disc is available in this base plastic. Affordable. Very popular for newer players. |
Pro Plastic Innova's premium base line. Great flexibility which makes it good to putt & approach in cold or wet weather. Available in several subtle blends: JK Pro (Softest) KC Pro (Firmest) Yeti Pro (Grippiest) R-Pro (Best all-condition grip and an improved feel) |
Champion Produced with a hi-tech plastic that provides outstanding performance and durability. Champion discs are distinguished by a beautiful clear appearance. Champion discs are usually a little firmer and more stable than the same model in other plastics. |
Star Made of various blends of polymers with high grip and resilience. It is highly durable – Innova even claims that it is as durable as the Champion plastic. However, it has more grip. Available in Star Lite which is simply light weight version of the same disc. |
Halo Simply a really cool looking Star plastic because of the colour change fade at the edge. All the cool kids are doing it. Mostly reserved for Tour Series Discs. |
|
XT Base plastic blend with extra grip no matter the weather. It's a softer plastic in the hand but still durable. A great hard wearing mid or putter plastic. Very consistent release. |
Blizzard This technology incorporates thousands of microbubbles into the durable Champion plastic. This results in high speed, premium plastic drivers in weights all the way down to 130 grams! Blizzard discs discs fly with almost the same stability as the equivalent model 20 grams heavier. |
GStar A blend of Star that adds flexibility and even more grip. GStar is opaque like Star, but features a pearlescent sheen. . GStar discs are generally less stable in flight than Star |
