Ape
Innova distance driver
Simulated flight at four arm speeds
Each row is one throw in the DGFV flight model at one of the free tool's skill presets (Rec, Int, Adv, Pro): a new Star Ape at 175 g, thrown flat, right hand backhand, no wind.
| Skill preset | Speed | Carry | Peak height | Lands | 3D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rec | 54 mph | 170 ft (52 m) | 6 ft | 13 ft left | Throw |
| Int | 61 mph | 293 ft (89 m) | 12 ft | 34 ft left | Throw |
| Adv | 64 mph | 354 ft (108 m) | 19 ft | 47 ft left | Throw |
| Pro | 70 mph | 454 ft (139 m) | 24 ft | 63 ft left | Throw |
Seen from above, thrower on the left. The side-to-side scale is stretched 1.3 times so the curve is visible.
What the simulation shows
- It shows no turn at any of the four arm speeds: the flight never drifts right of the line.
- At Adv it lands 47 ft left; at Pro, 63 ft left.
- Going from Rec to Pro adds 284 ft of carry (170 ft to 454 ft).
- At Adv its carry ranks 368 of 420 distance drivers in the catalogue, and 31 of 36 Innova distance drivers.
Discs with similar numbers
The three catalogue molds closest to Ape on speed, glide, turn and fade without being identical, thrown the same way at Adv (64 mph), each in the plastic the free tool picks first for its maker.
| Disc | Numbers | Carry | vs Ape | Lands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cutlass Latitude 64 | 13 / 5 / 0 / 3.5 | 358 ft | +3 ft | 47 ft left |
| Gladiator Latitude 64 | 13 / 5 / 0 / 3.5 | 358 ft | +3 ft | 47 ft left |
| Rive Latitude 64 | 13 / 5 / 0 / 3.5 | 358 ft | +3 ft | 47 ft left |
4 other molds carry exactly the same numbers and fly the same line in the simulator: Crusade (Full Turn), D Model OS (Prodigy), Empire (Prodiscus), The Adder (Westside).
Throw it yourself
The free tool opens with the Ape loaded. Change the plastic, weight, wear, wind, release angle and throwing hand, and watch the flight in 3D.

How these numbers were made
Flight numbers are the ratings carried in the DGFV disc catalogue. Distances, heights and paths come from the same flight model the free tool runs, simulated on 2026-10-31: skill preset power, nose angle and spin, automatic launch angle, no wind, ground play off, so carry is where the disc first lands. Real throws vary with form, plastic, weight and weather. DGFV is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Innova.
