Innova Fox

The Innova Fox is a 5-speed understable midrange. With published flight numbers of 5 / 6 / -2 / 1, it is most often described as suited for hyzer-flip lines that carry past a normal midrange, controlled turnovers.

Overview

The Fox is Innova's farthest-gliding midrange, rated 5 / 6 / -2 / 1.^[2] Six glide is fairway-driver territory on a 5-speed mold, which is the whole design.^[2][3] The PDGA approved it on July 21, 2025 under certification 25-121, at 21.8cm diameter, 1.5cm height, 1.1cm rim depth, 1.5cm rim width and a 180.9g maximum.^[1] Innova describes a low profile, a microbead and a low parting line, and Dave Dunipace summarized the mold as "feel in hand, glide, speed, and a gentle, controllable turn."^[3] G-Star runs are rated -3 turn instead of -2.^[2]

Flight characteristics

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

Recommended uses

Innova lists the Fox for straight woods shots, controlled turnovers and standstill approaches.^[2] It works as a hyzer-flip disc that holds a long flat line before finishing forward, and Innova claims 300 feet and beyond from it.^[3] Dunipace calls it "a trusted roller for those who know how to roll."^[3] Halo Star and Duo runs fly a touch more stable than Star, and G-Star turns more.^[2][4] The shallow 1.1cm rim depth suits players who dislike deep midranges.^[1]

Best for:

• Hyzer-flip lines that carry past a normal midrange
• Controlled turnovers
• Straight wooded shots that need extra glide
• Standstill approaches
• Rollers

Plastics & variants

The Fox is available in the following plastic blends from Innova:^[2]

Star, Halo Star, Champion, GStar, Proto Glow DX

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

Innova announced the Fox on August 18, 2025 and released the Star version on September 2, calling it a "fast five-speed" and "our farthest-flying Mid-Range yet."^[3] It sold well. Innova's own 2025 player survey put the Fox among its top five most popular midranges within four months of release, and the January 2026 spotlight post added Halo Star and Duo to the plastic lineup.^[4] Emily Weatherman got a Fox tour series in Proto Glow Halo Champion on February 2, 2026, with part of each sale going toward her touring costs.^[5] Innova's own store copy contradicts itself on that listing, calling the Fox "a stable fairway driver built for clean lines," which disagrees with Innova's product page and every retailer that carries it.^[2][5]
