Innova Gorgon

The Innova Gorgon is a 10-speed understable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 10 / 6 / -2 / 1, it is most often described as suited for long drives down narrow fairways, controlled distance without a 12-speed rim.

Overview

The Gorgon is a 10-speed Innova distance driver rated 10 / 6 / -2 / 1.^[2] The PDGA approved it on May 20, 2024 under certification 24-104, at 21.2cm diameter, 1.6cm height, 1.1cm rim depth, 2.1cm rim width and a 176g maximum.^[1] Innova pitches it as a fairway driver's feel with a distance driver's reach, and six glide on a 10-speed is what does that.^[2] Plastic changes the flight: Star Gorgons are rated -2 turn, GStar Gorgons -3.^[3]

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 Gorgon for sneaky long drives and narrow fairways.^[2] The 2.1cm rim is distance-driver width, but the mold turns enough that it does not demand full power, so it suits players who want reach without a beefy 12-speed. Reach for GStar when you want more high-speed turn and Star or Champion when you want the line to hold.^[2][3] The flight is a long straight glide with a steady fade at the end.^[2]

Best for:

• Long drives down narrow fairways
• Controlled distance without a 12-speed rim
• Hyzer-flip lines that hold flat a long way
• Turnover drives in GStar plastic

Plastics & variants

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

Star, Halo Star, GStar, Champion, Pro

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 Gorgon on May 24, 2024, four days after the PDGA approved it, and put it in shops on June 26, 2024.^[1][3] It launched in two plastics, Star and GStar, each with its own turn rating.^[3] Innova credited the disc's six glide to "Dave's disc design" without printing a surname.^[3] Champion and I-Dye Champion runs followed on January 15, 2025, with Innova calling it "the hot 10-Speed of '24."^[4] Innova's product page now lists five plastics: Halo Star, Star, GStar, Champion and Pro.^[2] Dennis Augustsson, the 2023 European champion, carries a Halo Star Gorgon as his 2026 tour series disc.^[5]
