The Complete Innova Ape Collection
When you have maximum arm power and need a disc that absolutely will not turn over, you reach for the Ape. Welcome to the Innova Ape Collection, home to one of the most aggressive, torque-resistant distance drivers on the market. Heavily favored by advanced players, headwind warriors, and forehand specialists, this ultra-overstable high-speed driver handles extreme torque with ease. Browse our live, real-time inventory below to find your ultimate utility meathook, or explore the wider Innova Discs Collection to complete your bag.
Understanding the Flight Dynamics & Profile
Engineered strictly for speed and predictability, the Ape boasts intimidating flight numbers of 13 | 5 | 0 | 4. It features a wide 2.4 cm rim designed for maximum speed and a 21.1 cm diameter. Out of the hand, it pushes fast and flat before aggressively fighting to fade at the end of its flight pattern. Because it features significantly less high-speed turn than a Boss, it can handle off-axis torque without burning out.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 5 | 0 | 4 |
What this collection brings to your game:
- Extreme Forehand Power: The wide rim and 0-turn stability make it an ideal choice for players who throw intense, high-power sidearms and need a disc they can trust.
- Headwind Dominance: When the wind is blowing hard enough to flip your standard distance drivers, the Ape cuts through the resistance and finishes dependably on a hyzer.
- Predictable Utility: Perfect for massive flare skips, sweeping hyzers around obstacles, and high spike hyzers that crash hard into the green.
Choose the Right Innova Ape Plastic
The Ape is molded in several of Innova's signature premium plastic blends to fit different grip and durability preferences. Compare the options in our inventory:
- Star Ape: Provides an ideal blend of top-tier durability and excellent, tacky grip. Perfect for players who want premium flight retention but prefer a softer, all-weather feel in the hand.
- Champion Ape: The most durable and rigid option available. Features a translucent aesthetic and ensures the disc maintains its highly overstable flight characteristics for a very long time, even after repeated tree hits.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Innova Ape
Is the Innova Ape a good disc for beginners?
No, the Ape is not recommended for beginners. Because it is ultra-overstable and lacks high-speed turn, it is generally not recommended for players who throw less than 300 to 400 feet. For lower arm speeds, the Ape will simply stall out and crash early into a heavy hyzer.
How does the Innova Ape compare to the Innova Boss?
Both are fast, 13-speed drivers with wide rims, but the Ape is noticeably more overstable. The Ape has 0 turn, making it incredibly resistant to flipping over, while the Boss has a -1 turn, which allows power players to shape maximum-distance S-curves.
What is the Ape best used for?
The Ape is best used for headwind drives, predictable hyzer lines, extreme forehand/sidearm throws, and aggressive skip shots where distance and a guaranteed heavy fade are required.
