Innova Disc Golf – Champion Sidewinder Distance Driver (170-172g)

Overview

The Innova Sidewinder is a fast distance driver designed to deliver a predictable high-speed turn and ample glide. It helps players add meaningful distance on drives and shines on turnover lines and long rollers. This disc is especially useful for golfers who want to stretch their range without relying on excessive power, offering a practical path to longer, more controllable shots on open fairways.

In real-game scenarios, the Sidewinder encourages a smooth, slightly airstream-friendly release that promotes a controlled turn. As it settles into its flight, it maintains forward momentum, helping the disc straighten from the peak of the arc toward the target with confidence. The result is a versatile tool you can rely on for shaping fairways and carving out options on longer holes.

Why consider Champion for this model
