The Lion is a neutral, versatile midrange rated 5/4/0/2, a comfortable-gripping mold with a convex rim, a small bead and a flat flight plate that give it a straight flight with a dependable fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). Thrown hard and flat, it finishes with a touch more glide than a Roc3 and enough fade to stay on track. Its neutral, trustworthy flight is the appeal: it holds a straight line and, on an anhyzer, will hold that long consistent line throughout the flight, which makes it a controllable mid for a wide range of shots. The small bead and flat plate give it a secure, familiar grip. It is a beaded midrange, sitting between the straightest and the more overstable mids in feel. Approved in 2019, the Lion was the first stock Innova disc to feature INNfuse art, a durable, colorful decoration. Champion and Star hold the neutral flight; the INNfuse runs are prized for their vibrant, durable artwork.

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.
