The Groove is a fast, understable-leaning distance driver rated 13/6/-2/2, a wide-rimmed speed-13 mold that flies super fast, long and straight with a gentle turn and a mild fade (for a right-handed backhand). Its signature is an innovative groove on the underside of the rim. That channel is what makes it distinctive: it lets Innova mold the disc in lighter weights than their other wide-rim high-speed drivers, which gives it long, straight flights that are easier to bring out than a heavier bomber. It throws well low or high, backhand or forehand. Innova's own pitch sums it up: if the Boss proved to be too much disc, get into the Groove. It is a shallow, beadless speed-13 rim. Approved in 2008, the Groove is one of Innova's approachable, lighter-weight distance drivers. Champion is the premium run that holds the flight; lighter weights emphasize the long, straight glide the groove enables.

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.
