Innova Disc Golf Set 3 Pack - DX Valkyrie, DX Invader, DX Mako3 and Mini Review (2026)

What is included

This set pairs the DX Valkyrie, a turnover fairway driver, with the DX Invader as the mid-range option and the DX Mako3 as the putter, along with a mini marker disc for marking your lie during a round. All three are long-running, well-known Innova molds rather than generic shapes, which matters because established discs have predictable, well-documented flight patterns that new players can look up and learn from as they figure out their own throwing style. The Valkyrie is Innova's own listed flight numbers show a high-speed turnover driver with strong glide, useful for long, sweeping shots once a player builds enough arm speed. The Invader is a flatter, low-profile disc more often thrown as an approach putter or control driver than as a true putter, giving the set some flexibility even though it is sold as putter, mid, and driver.

DX plastic: the tradeoff that defines this set

DX is Innova's base-line plastic, chosen here to keep the whole three-disc set affordable. It has a matte, slightly grippy surface that many players actually prefer over slicker premium plastics, especially in light rain or humid conditions, since it holds in the hand well from the first throw. The tradeoff is durability: DX scuffs, dings, and wears down with regular play noticeably faster than Champion or Star plastic, and as the surface wears, the flight of each disc gradually becomes less stable, meaning discs that started reliably straight will turn more over time. For a beginner set this is not necessarily a downside, since a disc that becomes more understable as it breaks in can actually get easier for a newer, slower arm to throw well, but it does mean these specific three discs will not fly the same in two years as they do out of the box.

Who this set is for

This is aimed squarely at people picking up disc golf for the first time who do not yet know what flight numbers, plastics, or feel they prefer. Having a driver, mid-range, and putter covers the three basic categories a player needs to get through a round, and starting with inexpensive DX plastic means a lost or damaged disc during the learning phase is not a big financial loss. Players who already have some rounds under their belt and know they want specific flight numbers or a particular premium plastic feel are better served buying individual discs suited to their game rather than a fixed set like this. It also makes sense as a gift for someone trying the sport for the first time, since it removes the guesswork of picking three separate discs.

What is missing

The set does not include a bag, so buyers need to plan on a separate purchase, or simply carry the three discs and mini by hand, if they want something to hold the discs during a round. There is also no mention of any carrying case or towel bundled in, which some competing starter sets include. Because the set uses named, established molds rather than house-brand shapes, buyers benefit from being able to find detailed flight charts, reviews, and comparisons for the Valkyrie, Invader, and Mako3 individually online, which is not always true of generic starter sets that use unbranded disc shapes. That transparency is a real advantage if a player later wants to replace just one disc in the set, since they know exactly what mold and plastic they are shopping to match or upgrade.

Value versus other starter sets

At a site score of 8.2 and a value score of 8.2, this set scores well against other three-disc starter kits, in part because it leans on trusted Innova molds instead of unbranded discs, and in part because DX plastic keeps the price down without sacrificing basic playability. Compared to starter sets that bundle a bag, this one is simpler and likely cheaper, which suits a buyer who already has a way to carry discs or wants to add a bag later once they know what capacity and style they want. For someone deciding between several beginner sets, the deciding factor should be whether they value having a bag included now versus getting well-known, easily researched discs and saving on the bundle price.
