Firebird
The Innova Firebird is the first “very overstable” disc that developing disc golfers should get. This disc will provide a massive fading hook, but it’s not so fast that it can’t be controlled by less powerful players. The Firebird makes a great forehand driver and can easily handle headwinds. This disc is consistently chosen and rated as one of the best discs for sidearm throws.

Thunderbird
The Innova Thunderbird is said to be predictable in the wind, but not so overstable that it's hard to keep straight. If you’re looking for a consistent driving disc that is slightly faster than the TeeBird3, the Thunderbird is for you. This likely won’t be the fastest or furthest flying driver in your bag, but when it comes to a workhorse driver with the right blend of speed and reliability, the Thunderbird exceeds expectations.
Innova says this of the Thunderbird: “The Thunderbird comes from strong bloodlines. The stability of a TeeBird with the speed of a Valkyrie; it could be best described as a seasoned Firebird, but with less fade. The Thunderbird is still predictable in the wind and a great choice for your new favorite long-range placement driver."

Leopard
The Leopard is the classic, straight-flying Innova fairway driver. This disc is very popular in starter sets thanks to the reliable flight path and limited fade. It’s not the fastest flying disc (speed 6) but new players will likely see more distance with the Leopard than just about any other disc. While the Leopard is great for beginners, it can be found in bags of more advanced players as well. With moderate throws this disc is perfect for weaving between narrow lines of trees. It also makes a good turnover driver that slices to the right, and a good roller disc as well. If you want a great disc to perfect your throwing technique, buy a handful of inexpensive DX Leopards and head to a field.

Felon
The Felon is a very overstable fairway driver in the DD line. This is what Dynamic Discs has to say about the Felon.
"Dynamic Discs is bringing the disc that so many of you have been asking and hoping for. The Felon is here. In the same vein as our game changing Escape, the Felon is a fairway driver that feels great in your hand and comes out easy. Crafted in response to the unforgiving Kansas winds, the Felon is the wind-fighting fairway driver that your bag is calling for. It will continue to sail, without turning over, despite that headwind. When the wind is down, it has an incredibly predictable hyzer finish. When you are facing a low ceiling shot where you need good glide and a strong finish the Felon is your answer."
