The Innova TeeRex is a 11-speed overstable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 11 / 4 / 0 / 4, it is most often described as suited for long hyzer lines that have to fade out, sidearm drives at full power.
Overview
The Innova TeeRex is a speed 11 distance driver rated 11/4/0/4.[2] Innova calls it a fast, stable to overstable power driver with significant glide, built to resist turning at high speed, and pitches it as the flight of a Teebird at the speed of a Wraith.[2] The PDGA lists a 21.1cm diameter, a 2.2cm rim and a maximum weight of 175.1g.[3] Disc Golf Puttheads rates it very overstable and describes it as a forehand favorite with a flat profile and stiff rim.[4]
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 recommends the TeeRex for medium to strong wind, sidearm throws and long hyzer shots, and says it is meant for professional-level players and others who throw at high speed.[2] Lower-power players will see it fade early rather than carry.[4] Team Innova player Eric Friedman calls it his go-to disc for hyzer shots around 300ft and says it will always fade out.[2]
Best for:
- Long hyzer lines that have to fade out
- Sidearm drives at full power
- Headwind tee shots
- Skip shots off a hard finish
Community notes — how players actually use this disc
Plastics & variants
The TeeRex is available in the following plastic blends from Innova:[2]
Star, Champion
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
The TeeRex was PDGA approved on March 6, 2006 under certification number 06-11.[3] IsaacSam describes it as a Teebird blended with a Wraith and says it was briefly popular before the Destroyer arrived a year later and took its market, helped along by Wraith runs that flew about as stable.[1] He also documents two versions: "Tee-Rex" stamped X molds first sold through the Innova factory store, which collectors seek out, and "TEEREX" stamped L molds that fly closer to a Wraith and are what Innova produces in the limited runs it still releases.[1] Sources disagree on glide, with IsaacSam listing 11/5/0/4 against Innova's own 11/4/0/4.[1][2]
