The Barracuda is a discontinued Innova midrange rated 5/4/-2/3, a beaded mold with a gentle high-speed turn to the right (for a right-handed backhand) that flexes back to a firm, dependable fade at the end. That combination gives it a workable, controllable line for players who want turn on the way out and a stable finish. Its understable-to-overstable flight suits controlled turnovers and flex shots that flip and come back, and the beaded rim gives it a secure grip. It is a beaded midrange from Innova's earlier catalog. It has since left the active lineup, succeeded by the brand's deep range of modern midranges. Approved in 1990, the Barracuda is a discontinued midrange from Innova's early years. Older runs turn up secondhand, where the turn-and-fade flight and beaded grip remain its character.

The Innova Barracuda has only 1 review so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
