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.
Destroyer Flight Numbers: 12 / 5 / -1 / 3
If there’s one guy you should buy a TeeBird from it’s Väinö Mäkelä. He’s a TeeBird fanatic, and his Tour Series Innova Star TeeBird is a real keeper.
How this batch of Star TeeBird feels: Pretty flat to Modest dome.
More about the player: Top Finnish disc golfer, Väinö Mäkelä brought his A game to Team Innova in 2024. Since 2022 Mäkelä has spent the majority of his tour season in the U.S. with several respectable finishes including a top five finish at the 2024 USDGC. Awesome moustache too!
More about the disc: The TeeBird is perhaps the most reliable fairway driver for open to moderately wooded courses on the market. It has the perfect amount of stability to hold your line, even in mild winds. Excellent for pin-point accuracy and sidearm.
Flight Numbers: 7 / 5 / 0 / 2

The Innova AviarX3 is the most overstable disc in the Aviar family tree and it’s the go-to approach disc for power player and forehand specialist Jeremy “Big Jerm” Koling.
More about the AviarX3 in Big Jerm’s Words: “The AviarX3 is the disc I rely upon most in my bag. I use it for essentially every forehand and backhand approach inside 300 feet,” said Koling.
He also says it’s great for:
Out-of-position rescue shots
Point and shoot flick rollers
Stable flexing anhyzers
Ultra-long panning overhead throws
Disc Feel: “The flat flight plate provides a nice hand feel but it also eliminates unnecessary glide. This allows me to be more aggressive with my approaches while ultimately getting more bullseyes,” said Koling.
A Mid Range in Putt & Approach Clothing: Don’t forget to use this beefy disc for moderate length drives and for headwind approaches.
2016 US Champ: One word best describes Jeremy Koling’s performance during the 2016 USDGC and that is: “Solid.”
Solid putting
Solid accuracy off the tee
Solid mental game that minimized mistakes
With a bullet proof performance like that, it’s no wonder Koling earned the biggest win of his career. Being a “major champion is something that I will have for the rest of my life and that means a lot to me,” said Koling after his win.

The XCaliber is for those who have got to have the biggest and the baddest. Extremely fast with glide and stability. This is the one for confident bombs in windy conditions.
