The Philo Brathwaite Star Destroyer routinely turns unlikely shots into your personal web gems.
How this batch of Star Destroyers feel: Noticeable dome.
More about the player: Nowadays most know Philo Brathwaite for his fun and engaging commentary for pro tour coverage. Though Brathwaite has slowed down his competitive play the last few years, he has shown he can still hang with the best like when he won the US Masters in 2023. And, you can’t mention Brathwaite without mentioning his Albatross at the 2016 Beaver State Fling (Thrown with a Destroyer). He amazingly finished the 850-foot par 5 in only 2 throws. And, it was caught on tape during Central Coast Disc Golf’s coverage.
More about the disc: The Destroyer is a very fast, very overstable distance driver meant for advanced players. Thrown with the proper amount of power, the Destroyer disc flies straight followed by a slight turn for incredible distance until its mighty fade brings it back to the ground.
Why only available in 165-169 grams? Because that’s the weight of the Destroyer that landed the Albatross.

The Innova XT Aviar3 is a sleek approach disc that’s big on grip and landing within drop-in range.
How the XT Aviar3 disc feels: Lower profile design. Comfortable grip without too much room. Dome ranges from pretty flat to noticeable.
Aviar3 Flight Numbers: 3 / 2 / 0 / 2
How the Aviar3 flies: The Aviar3 is a stable to slightly overstable approach disc. Steady is a great word to describe its flight, even when ample power is deployed. Backhand or forehand, take your pick - the Aviar3 works equally well for short to midrange lengths. Plus, with its minimal glide, you can trust it to hit your landing zone.
XT plastic: Firm with a tacky grip, XT is among Innova best plastics in terms of grip. As far as durability, XT is more durable than DX and most Pro plastics.
Great for:
Backhand and forehand approaches
Long range and headwind putts
Short drives off the tee
How will I throw it?: Beginner to intermediate players will likely see flights with heavy fade at flight’s end. But their lines will straighten out, as they become more accustomed to it. Advanced players will see very straight flights with a hint of turn from approach shots and moderate turn from forehands.
