The Shark3 is a stable, predictable midrange rated 5/4/0/2, a smooth-rimmed shot-shaper that flies straight and finishes with a gentle, dependable fade to the left (for a right-handed backhand). It is a modern take on the classic Shark, built for consistent approaches and controlled midrange lines. Its smooth rim and consistent release are what make it dependable for rescuing long approaches and circling the pin, holding hyzer, straight or gentle turnover lines on command. It sits close to neutral with a touch of stability, so it stays predictable throw after throw. It is a beadless mid. It is now discontinued, succeeded in the lineup by Innova's current midrange options. The Shark3 carries the name of one of Innova's oldest midranges, the Shark, in a more modern, consistent mold. Champion runs hold the stable flight; older runs turn up secondhand for Shark-family fans.

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.
