The Innova Kite is a cross between a Stingray and a Skeeter that was released in 2007. Like the Stingray and Skeeter, the Kite is also an understable midrange. What makes the Kite unique is the intentional dome Innova imbued this mold with to allow it to glide through the air like its namesake. Kites are severely understable, and that combined with its glide gave it an unpredictable flight that would lead to this mold going out of production. While in production it did gain a few fans, most notably Juliana Korver. That being said, it did have enough fans to fuel the occasional appearance on Innova’s Pro Shop.

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.
