{"product_id":"innova-tern","title":"12\/6\/-3\/2 Innova Tern","description":"\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003etern\u003c\/strong\u003e is a bird built to cover serious distance, gliding efficiently across huge stretches of open air without looking like it is working particularly hard. The \u003cstrong\u003eInnova Tern\u003c\/strong\u003e took that concept, turned it into a distance driver, and apparently decided the rest of us were trying way too hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith flight numbers of \u003cstrong\u003e12 | 6 | -3 | 2\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Tern combines high speed, massive glide, significant turn, and a dependable finish into a distance driver built to stretch flights. It is especially useful for players who want distance-driver speed without needing the arm of a touring professional just to make the disc do something interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e12 speed\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the Tern legitimate distance-driver horsepower. It is fast enough to cover serious ground, but the understability makes that speed more accessible than many other drivers in the same class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e6 glide\u003c\/strong\u003e is a major part of the Tern's personality. Once it gets moving, it wants to stay airborne. That extra carry helps developing distance arms squeeze more length from their throws and gives stronger players the ability to create huge sweeping distance lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e-3 turn\u003c\/strong\u003e is where the Tern really opens things up. Throw it on hyzer and it can flip toward flat before riding forward. Release it flat and it can produce substantial high-speed movement. Power throwers can use that turn for long turnovers, rollers, and massive hyzer-flip distance lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2 fade\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the flight enough finish to keep things useful. It is not designed to crash violently at the end, but it has enough low-speed stability to work back after the turn when thrown with the right angle and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum-distance drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong hyzer-flips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge turnover shots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailwind bombs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong flexing distance lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping arms stepping into faster drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers who struggle to get stable 12-speeds to turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-fairway distance shots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistance rollers for stronger arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUphill drives where extra turn and glide help\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShots where you would like the disc to do more of the work for once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBDLD Real Talk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tern is for people who would like to throw far without first submitting proof that they can bench-press a refrigerator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it is a 12-speed. But that -3 turn and 6 glide make it considerably more willing to cooperate than a lot of fast drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have been throwing high-speed discs that immediately fade left and make you wonder why everybody keeps talking about “distance,” the Tern may finally let you see what a full distance-driver flight looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bigger arms, things get considerably more entertaining. Put the Tern on hyzer, let it stand up, watch it drift, and give the 2 fade enough room to work at the end. Done correctly, you get one of those huge S-shaped flights that makes everyone on the card briefly reconsider their own bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDone incorrectly, you may discover an entirely different part of the property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat -3 turn is useful, but it is not a legally binding promise that the disc will come back. Headwinds, excessive power, bad angles, and whatever weird wrist thing you did at the last second all get a vote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe multiple plastic options are also a big advantage. A more stable Tern can give you controlled distance with extra forgiveness. A more understable or seasoned Tern can become your tailwind bomber, turnover machine, or “there is absolutely no reasonable reason this shot should go that far” disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you need multiple Terns?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're a disc golf store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are wildly unqualified to talk you out of that decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBottom Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eInnova Tern\u003c\/strong\u003e is a glide-heavy, understable \u003cstrong\u003e12 | 6 | -3 | 2\u003c\/strong\u003e distance driver built for hyzer-flips, turnovers, tailwinds, and serious distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt gives developing arms an easier path into high-speed drivers while giving experienced players a powerful line-shaping option for maximum-distance shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThrow smooth. Give it room to work. And let the Tern spread its wings before you start trying to murder the disc for extra distance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Innova","offers":[{"title":"SUPERMAN \/ HALO STAR \/ 157","offer_id":48907338842304,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PURPLE HAZE \/ HALO STAR \/ 160","offer_id":48907338940608,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SEAFOAM DREAM \/ HALO STAR \/ 157","offer_id":48907338973376,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ORANGE \/ STAR \/ 168","offer_id":48907339333824,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GREEN \/ STAR \/ 174","offer_id":48907343102144,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"YELLOW \/ STAR \/ 162","offer_id":48907343233216,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/0990\/4320\/files\/7408B060-4196-4B75-BD6D-A04584761FB1.jpg?v=1787866475","url":"https:\/\/littlediscs.golf\/products\/innova-tern","provider":"Big Dudes Little Discs ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
