Innova Champion Daedalus 13 | 6 | -3 | 2
The Innova Champion Daedalus is a high-speed, understable distance driver designed to give intermediate throwers maximum distance and high glide. Named after the mythical Greek craftsman, the Daedalus excels on wide-open fairways and tailwind drives. Its understable flight path helps players without high arm speed unlock full-flight S-curves.

Flight Numbers & Performance
Featuring flight numbers of 13 | 6 | -3 | 2, the Daedalus is built for maximum carry downfield. It features a wide 2.3 cm rim and a standard 21.1 cm overall diameter (PDGA approved). While many 13-speed drivers require high arm speed to avoid fading early, the -3 high-speed turn and high 6 glide rating make the Daedalus far more workable for a wider range of players.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 6 | -3 | 2 |
How the Champion Daedalus performs across skill levels:
- Beginners & Lower Arm Speeds: A rare 13-speed option that developing players can throw for usable distance. The understability prevents it from fading out immediately, allowing for straight distance lines.
- Intermediate Players: Ideal for hyzer-flips that flip up to flat, long turnover shots, and sweeping S-curve distance down open fairways.
- Advanced Players: Functions as a long-distance roller or a turnover driver for high-angle anhyzers that need to stay turned over throughout the flight.
Champion Plastic
Innova’s Champion plastic is a durable, translucent material built for maximum longevity. Champion discs maintain their original flight characteristics longer than standard baseline or softer plastics. Because Champion plastic tends to mold up slightly firmer, the Champion Daedalus starts out marginally more stable out of the box than other plastic blends, giving throwers added control on high-power releases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why works well for intermediate arms despite being a 13-speed disc?
Most 13-speed drivers fade out quickly if thrown without top-tier power. The Daedalus compensates for this with its -3 turn and 6 glide, which help keep the disc turning and airborne at moderate throw speeds.
How does Champion plastic compare to Star plastic for the Daedalus?
Champion plastic is stiffer and more scuff-resistant than Star. Out of the box, a Champion Daedalus will usually fly slightly more stable than a Star Daedalus and will maintain its flight stability for a longer period of time.
Is the Daedalus a good roller disc?
Yes. For higher arm speeds, throwing the Daedalus on an anhyzer line allows the understable turn to push the disc down to the ground smoothly, making it a viable distance roller option.
