here is a link to PDGA disc golf radio. Innova is a sponsor, so listen for a bit and the guy will say their name.

I've heard it pronounced a variety of ways by both Innova sponsored players and Innova employees alike. I like to think that it stems from "innovate" or "innovation" and is therefore pronounced like those words. But who am I?

In Oh Vuh

Oh I guess im a redneck then, ive always called it in-nov-ah. seems to me if it was the way most people say it, wouldnt it be spelled with one n? how is the 2nd n silent? But Im definitly not a grammer expert so I better start saying it right :lol:

Down here the emphasis is placed on the OH..In OH va.

There is a dog food brand I used to buy also named Innova, and their rep put the emphasis on IN.. IN nova.

I switched to Nutro dog food and throw discraft, so it doesn't matter to me.

Stranger, how long has it been since you've thrown an Innova brand disc? well that's too long!

This question is too advanced for me. I don't even know how to pronouce Discraft.

Root word Innovate.. so I believe this is correct.

from dictionary.com innovate is in-no-vate
so the second N should be pronounced
