Plastic & Feel

Innova's Champion plastic is known for its exceptional durability, firm feel, and translucent appearance. Older Champion runs are particularly appreciated by players and collectors who enjoy the distinctive feel and characteristics of earlier Innova plastic.

This Dart features vibrant translucent orange plastic with a glossy finish and a comfortable feel in the hand. Its older-style plastic and traditional rainbow foil stamp give it a classic appearance that stands apart from modern production releases.

Flight Profile

Flight Numbers: 3 | 4 | 0 | 0

The Dart is a neutral, straight-flying putter known for its impressive glide and minimal finishing fade. It holds release angles exceptionally well, making it a dependable choice for long putts, controlled approaches, and shorter drives.

Its speed 3 design and excellent glide allow it to carry surprising distance while maintaining a straight, controllable flight.

Ideal For

Perfect for long-range putting, straight approaches, wooded fairways, finesse shots, and controlled putter drives. Its neutral flight makes it an excellent option for players of all skill levels.

The older Champion plastic and classic stamp also make this an appealing addition to an Innova collection, particularly for players searching for earlier production runs and factory-penned discs.

Stamp/Run Notes

This Champion Dart features Innova's older two-part swoosh stamp with the classic Innova Disc Golf logo, smaller italic Champion Dart lettering, and original flight numbers. The rainbow holographic foil reflects different colors depending on the lighting.

The Dart mold was originally approved in 2009, with Champion plastic versions introduced in 2011.

One particularly notable detail is the factory-penned "DT" identification on the underside. The disc does not have an embossed mold name, only the older generic Innova Champion Discs and website tooling. This is consistent with Innova's pre-emboss production practices.

Combined with the classic stock stamp, these features suggest an older production run, potentially from the early 2010s. The exact manufacturing year has not been verified, so it is not being advertised as a confirmed first run.

Brand new and unthrown with minor cosmetic storage wear and visible fingerprints from handling. A great example of an older factory-penned Champion Dart with classic Innova artwork and plastic.
