The Innova Dominator is one of Innova’s most intriguing new high-speed distance drivers, designed for players chasing maximum distance potential. With a speed rating of 13, the Dominator joins the ranks of the fastest discs in the game, featuring a wide, thick rim built for big arms and high power throws. Despite its incredible speed, the Dominator offers manageable flight characteristics with a turn rating of -1, fade rating of 2, and glide of 5 — allowing experienced players to achieve long, stable flights with a slight turn before a reliable fade. The disc is currently available in Champion and Blizzard Champion plastics, ranging from 155g to 175g. 🥏 Flight Ratings Breakdown Speed: 13 Glide: 5 Turn: -1 Fade: 2 These numbers make the Dominator a disc meant for advanced players who can generate high release velocity. Beginners may find it overstable and unpredictable, while professionals will appreciate its power potential on long, open fairways. 🚀 Innova Dominator Review: Field Performance I was eager to test the Dominator after having great success with the Innova Krait, a disc sharing the same glide, turn, and fade ratings. However, my experience with the Dominator proved to be more inconsistent. When thrown backhand, the Dominator surprisingly behaved very overstable — producing strong hook shots and topping out around 250 feet. My backhand throws were difficult to control, often fading early or finishing left of the target. On forehand throws, the story was completely different. The disc felt understable, turning over more easily than expected for a -1 turn rating. Some throws produced beautiful S-curves that finished around 325 feet, while others turned too sharply and crashed into the ground around 210–260 feet. In short, the Dominator is powerful but unpredictable for average players like me. Its wide rim and high speed make it less forgiving for inconsistent form or slower arm speeds. 💪 Who Is the Dominator For? If you have big hands, a strong arm, or you enjoy throwing speed 13 discs, the Innova Dominator may be a perfect fit. It’s built for players who can consistently reach high speeds upon release. For pros or advanced players, this disc can deliver maximum distance potential, especially when thrown flat with precision. However, for beginners and casual players, it’s best approached as a long-term goal disc rather than a beginner-friendly option. 🔍 Plastic Types and Feel Champion Plastic: Durable, slightly stiffer, ideal for consistent high-speed throws. Blizzard Champion Plastic: Lighter weights with added air bubbles for extra glide and easier distance. The Champion version offers more control and predictability, while the Blizzard version can help players with less power achieve better distance. ⚡ Pros and Cons ✅ Pros: Incredible speed and distance potential Smooth Champion plastic feel Excellent for powerful players and forehand drives Good glide for a speed 13 disc ❌ Cons: Too fast and overstable for beginners Inconsistent results for moderate arms Wide rim can feel uncomfortable for smaller hands 🏁 Final Verdict: Innova Dominator Review The Innova Dominator is a high-performance distance driver designed for advanced and professional disc golfers. It demands power, precision, and excellent form — but when thrown correctly, it can deliver massive distance and clean S-curve flights. If you’re a developing player, this might not be your go-to driver yet. However, if you have the arm speed and control to match its speed rating, the Dominator can quickly become your favorite max-distance disc.

Innova Dominator

The Dominator is a new high speed distance driver made by Innova. The Dominator has a speed rating of 13, and like most high speed discs, a very thick rim. For such a fast disc, the Dominator was given a relatively low turn (-1) and fade (2) rating. The Dominator will fly far and has a glide rating of 5. This disc is currently available in the Champion and Blizzard Champion plastics, and comes in weights from 155 to 175g.

Like most speed 13 discs, the Dominator isn’t for the average disc golfer. I was really excited to test out the Dominator after my positive experience with the new Krait, which has the same glide, turn, and fade ratings. While I did have some really good throws with the Dominator, my results were really inconsistent and I had a hard time throwing it accurately. The wing length of the Krait is just a little bit to wide for my throwing style.

🏁 Final Verdict: Innova Dominator Review

The Innova Dominator is a high-performance distance driver designed for advanced and professional disc golfers. It demands power, precision, and excellent form — but when thrown correctly, it can deliver massive distance and clean S-curve flights.

If you’re a developing player, this might not be your go-to driver yet. However, if you have the arm speed and control to match its speed rating, the Dominator can quickly become your favorite max-distance disc.

It doesn’t make much sense, but when I threw the Dominator backhand, it behaved very overstable. I had huge hookshots, and was only able to throw this disc about 250 feet. When I threw it forehand, it behaved very understable and seemed to turnover more easily than a disc with a -1 rating should. While some of my throws recovered from the high speed turn and faded back to the right with an S curve, other throws turned to the left and crashed into the ground without any fade recovery. My test throws were all over the place with this disc. My best forehand drives went 325 feet, but I also had drives of 210, 237, and 265 feet.

If you have big hands, or like golf discs with really wide rims, then you’ll probably really like the Dominator. For pros and super powerful drivers, this is probably an awesome disc for maximum distance. For beginners and average golfers like me, it’s not a disc to get too excited about.

Loves me some Domination! I don’t have a huge arm (300-350 feet). This disc is less stable than a Boss and Nuke but stable enough to give me some turn and a nice fade almost every time, even in a slight headwind. It gives me more distance than a much lighter Boss because the fade is far less pronounced and I don’t get that big Boss sideways skip. Usually my go to disc and believe me, I’ve tried them all.
