The Gator is a bulky overstable midrange, perfect for shots that you want to stay put next to the basket. The Gator has very little glide (Innova rating of 2) and will go only as far as you throw it. It also makes for a decent putter on those very windy days. The Gator is available in an inexpensive DX plastic blend, which provides a super grippy, accurate release that sticks to the ground without skipping or rolling much. It is also available in premium Star plastic. 5/2/0/3. DX is an inexpensive, basic plastic. It has good grip, but wears more easily than premium plastics.
