Innova I-Dye Champion Sidewinder Kat Mertsch Tour Series 2025
How do I read the numbers and stability?
How fast the disc has to be thrown to fly as designed. Beginners: up to 7. Without a strong arm, a faster disc will simply drop to the left and won't fly far.
How long the disc stays up in the air. A higher number means more distance with less effort. 5–7 works well for beginners.
High-speed turn. How much the disc turns to the right early in the flight (right-handed backhand). For beginners −1 to −3 is better: this turn to the right offsets the natural drop to the left of a beginner's throw, so the disc flies straighter.
Low-speed fade. How sharply the disc hooks to the left and drops at the end of the flight. For beginners 0–2 is more predictable and keeps more distance.
Despite how it sounds, understable does not mean a bad or unpredictable flight. Stability is relative to the power of the throw.
An understable disc is made to turn right on a powerful throw. On a beginner's softer throw, this tendency evens out the natural drop to the left, and the disc flies straight.
On a beginner's throw, a stable or overstable disc will drop to the left straight away and won't fly far. Once your throw gets stronger, you can move on to more stable discs.
Beginners: the first 6 months, still learning the basics of the throw. Amateurs: play regularly, with a developed technique. Advanced players: experienced players with a powerful, consistent throw.
Kat Mertsch has chosen the I-Dye Champion Sidewinder as her second disc in the 2025 Tour Series. Each disc is individually hand-painted with a smiley face, making each one as unique as Kat Mertsch's fun personality. Spread the love with the Kat Mertsch I-Dye Champion Sidewinder !
The Sidewinder is a fast flying disc with a predictable speed trajectory deviation and a large glide path . This disc can add distance to anyone's shot, but is especially useful for those with less strength. The Sidewinder is a great choice for long turnover and rolling casts. Even disc golfers who have never had any luck with rolling shots may be surprised by the results they can achieve with the Sidewinder disc.
A significant portion of each sale will be donated to Cat Merch and her tour events.
