ABOUT THESE VERY RARE LIGHWEIGHT DISCS:
Waaaay back in 2002, when Innova still held a (completely bogus) patent for the "Bevelled Edge Flying Disc" (expired in 2003), and before the advent of stamping Flight Numbers on discs, Innova specially manufactured a range of golf discs for competition in Japan, where the maximum weight for discs was just 150 grams.
These now highly collectable PFN (Pre-Flight Numbers) discs were made slightly over the 150g limit, and were not suitable for export to Japan.
Not only are these genuine New Old Stock, and PFN, they also carry the Innova Patent number on the underside of the flight plate.And so we can know for sure that these brand new discs are at least 22 years old in 2025!
What Innova say: The Leopard should be everyone’s first fairway driver as it is has excellent glide and is easy to throw straight and far. The Leopard is a great turnover disc for players of all skill levels. More experienced players can use the Leopard for throwing distance stretching Hyzer Flip shots. The Leopard makes a dependable long range roller.
Innova Leopard (Champ) PFN! PATENTED
Probably one of the most famous fairways drivers of all time. It's gentle convex lower wing surface has a reassuring hand-filling feel for players new to fairways drivers.
Leopard's excellent glide and easy fade make it an ideal first fairway, as Innova claim. Worth hanging onto as well - long after the time you think you have "grown out of" the Leopard, and now you are "too good for it." No you haven't, and no you aren't. :)
Experienced players are encouraged to look again at this mould, this time with a more appreciative eye. 10/10 - would buy again!
