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.

Make your fairway game a bit more flexible with the grippy, gummy and understable Innova GStar Roadrunner.
How it feels: Slender fairway style rim. Easy to grip and release. Most have at least a modest amount of dome.
GStar Roadrunner Flight numbers: 9 / 5 / -4 / 1
How the Roadrunner flies: The Roadrunner is a very understable fairway driver. It produces a reliable straight or hyzer flip flight for those with less power or an easy-to-throw anhyzer or roller for those with bigger arms. Simply put, the Roadrunner disc does more with less than any other disc on the planet.
GStar plastic: GStar plastic provides the most grip and flexibility from a premium Innova plastic. It’s an all-season plastic but it really shines in wet and cold seasons. As far as durability, it ranks among our longest lasting plastics. GStar plastic is typically more understable than other premium plastics.
The GStar Roadrunner is great for:
Effortless turnovers
Your first hyzer-flip or sidearm disc
Rollers
Hit the gap disc
How will I throw it?: Beginner to intermediate players will see straight flights right off the bat, especially if light weights used. Advanced players or those with high powered arms will turn this disc over easily. Great tailwind driver and long range roller.

Big glide is the Innova Champion Tern’s calling card, which means you don’t have to break your back to throw this maximum distance driver far.How it feels: Noticeable dome. Wider rim, but not difficult to grasp.Flight numbers: 12 / 6 / -2 / 2 (the Champion Tern is a notch more overstable than Terns in other plastics.)How the Champion Tern flies: The Tern is a fast, slightly understable driver that’s born to make tight ‘S’ styled shots. What’s great about the Tern, is that you don’t have to have incredible power to throw it far. Just throw it flat or with a tiny bit of hyzer and its glide and natural turn will take it from there.Great for: Hyzer flip bombs.Extremely long turnovers.Maximum distance standstill shotsTailwind drivesHow will I throw it? Amateur players will love the Tern. Once you find a weight that agrees with you, you’ll never take it out of your bag. It’s got the perfect amount of understability for medium strength arms to really crank it, but has enough fade to keep it in play. The Tern is still a viable option for those with big arm speed and you’ll see those players making effortless turnovers with the disc.
