Discs that fly like the Innova Champion Discs Groove
The Groove is a straight driver (13/6/-2/2). A speed-13 distance driver with a groove in the top, aimed at less powerful throwers. Its published numbers now describe a glidey, straight-to-stable flight with a moderate finish, but its reputation is for inconsistency: individual discs and runs vary widely, from flippy to quite overstable. Less common than the Shryke, and best test-thrown before relying on one.
These are the most widely thrown discs that fly closest to it, ranked by flight numbers, real-world stability and what players use them for. Highlighted numbers differ from the Groove.
