The Dolphin is a discontinued Innova driver, approved by the PDGA in 1994. It is a beaded, control-class driver from Innova's early catalog that has long been out of production.

As a discontinued mold from the mid-1990s, it survives mainly in the hands of longtime players and collectors. Older runs turn up secondhand as a piece of Innova's early driver history.
