Innova is a company founded in 1983 to produce equipment for the growing number of disc golf players. In that year, Dave Dunipace created the world's first disc designed specifically for the sport of disc golf. That first disc, the Eagle -- U.S. Patent # 4,568,297, established Innova as the technological pacesetter in Disc Golf.[1] Innova discs are used by top professionals. Twelve-time world champion Ken Climo endorses and uses Innova Discs.[2]
Innova not only manufactures discs, they also produce a range of disc golfing equipment including bags, accessories, and their DISCatcher targets which were introduced in 1995.[3] Their 60+ golf discs are manufactured using various molds and plastics. Innova manufactures discs in four distinct lines of plastic.
