Flight Numbers & Performance
Operating on flight numbers of 5 | 4 | 0 | 1, the Atlas is engineered to hit gaps and stay dead straight. It yields almost no high-speed turn and finishes with a very soft, smooth fade.

How the Champion Atlas elevates your game:
- Laser-Straight Lines: It pushes straight down the fairway, making it a highly forgiving midrange for both beginners and advanced players navigating wooden tunnels.
- High Torque Resistance: Despite its neutral stability, it handles torque exceptionally well. In fact, Innova co-founder Dave Dunipace recommends it as an excellent choice for a sidearm/forehand midrange disc.
- Forgiving Geometry: The beadless, shallow rim sits snug in the hand, allowing for incredibly clean and consistent releases.
The Compass Points & Champion Plastic
The defining physical trait of the Atlas is the presence of four "compass points" visible on the underside of the rim. These small, port-like injection marks are the points where the gummy outer rim plastic is chemically fused and physically molded over the inner flight plate. This unique bonding ensures a highly durable build that won't split over time.
This specific variation features a Champion plastic core. Champion is Innova's ultra-durable, translucent premium blend that retains its original flight characteristics longer than any other plastic. Paired with the colorful, sticky overmold rim, it is the ultimate combination of longevity and grip.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Atlas compare to the Champion Mako3?
Both are phenomenal straight-flying midranges. The Champion Mako3 is a 5/5/0/0, meaning it has a touch more glide and virtually zero fade. The Atlas (5/4/0/1) features Innova's overmold technology, a slightly shallower feel, and a very gentle fade at the end of its flight to help it sit down quickly without skipping.
Is the Champion Atlas good for forehands?
Yes! Because of its flat top, low profile, and high torque resistance, it handles the snap of a forehand beautifully. Innova's co-founder specifically recommends the Atlas for sidearm midrange shots.
What are the four dots on the bottom of the Atlas?
Those are the "compass points"! They are the specific injection ports where the outer rim was chemically and physically fused to the inner flight plate during the overmold manufacturing process.
