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

Get the control and consistency you crave with Joona Heinänen's Innova Star Roc3. It turns uncertain medium range throws to automatic.
How this batch of Roc3 feels: Pretty flat to Modest dome. Softer feel.
More about the player: Finnish long bomber, Joona Heinänen is a name you should remember. The last few years he’s divided his season between U.S. and European tour stops and its paid dividends with a win at the 2024 Järva Open X Tyyni, a DGPT Silver event, and a seventh place finish at last year’s USDGC. Look for him to make an even bigger impact in the coming years.
More about the disc: The Roc3 is an overstable large diameter mid range that’s a good call in just about any situation. It can hold your line even in headwinds and has enough fade to land where desired. Compared to the Roc, it has a touch more speed and overstability.
Flight Numbers: 5 / 4 / 0 / 3

The InnMold DX Aviar supplies the same trusted putt and approach flight the world has grown accustomed to, but now with a vibrant color design on top.
How the Aviar feels: In the hand, the Aviar has a rounded, comfortable rim that leaves plenty of room for your fingers no matter which way you grip it.
DX Aviar Flight numbers: 2 / 3 / 0 / 1
How it flies: When the Aviar is thrown at slow speed for putting, it holds the line you put it on with neutral stability. When utilized as a throwing putter the Aviar has surprising torque resistance. When it was released in 1984, it was the first disc designed specifically for putting! 40 years later, it’s still the disc the world turns to for sure-fire lines to the basket.
DX Plastic: Its ample, all-weather grip and quick break-in time is incredibly tough to beat. Plus, it’s very affordable. When it comes to stability, it’s the least overstable of Innova plastics (which benefits beginners).
InnMold uses a special process in which full color artwork is actually applied during the molding process instead of afterwards like other processes. InnMold allows for a smooth finish that is basically undetectable to the touch.

The Innova Star Racer has a knack for chasing down birdies. Watch em’ pile up after throwing this distance driver that’s got speed and super-sized glide.
How the Star Racer feels: Wider rim, similar in size to the Tern. Signature feature has to be the nose’s outer bead. Disc ranges from minimal to noticeable dome.
Star Racer Flight numbers: 12 / 6 / -1 / 2
How it flies: ‘Seasoned Destroyer’ is something you hear a bunch when it comes to the Racer. After a flat release, watch it speed down the fairway. But instead of it fading hard like a Destroyer, the Racer stays pretty straight, especially for average arms. Eventually the fade kicks in, but not before it’s sailed a long way. Another term you hear a lot with the Racer is glide. This disc just doesn’t want to come back to the ground.
Forehand: Give it a shot. Flat release results in a modest turnover flight that finds fade at the end. A moderate hyzer release produces hzyer flip flight.
Star plastic: If you take the best qualities of all of Innova’s plastics and combine them into one plastic, you get the Star line. Grip. Performance. Durability. It’s all included in Star plastic. Though not as overstable as Champion, it still has enough bite to handle your full-send heaves. It’s the preferred plastic for drivers.
The Racer is great for:
When you want Destroyer performance, but without Destroyer beef.
When you need that 10 extra feet of glide
Predictable distance and fade
Long hyzers
How will I throw it? In lighter weights, beginners and intermediate players can see some real dividends. Intermediates will experience straight, long flights. Advanced level players will be able to make the big ‘S’ flight and hzyer flips look routine, but may overpower it on occasion.

The Classic Roc is a small diameter putt and approach disc. It is an accurate disc that provides a great "touch" on shorter holes and longer approach shots. It is a solid performer for straight, hyzer or turnover shots. The Classic Roc will handle any wind situation. Low profile design makes it an easy-to-release putter. The small rim makes this a great disc for small hands. For players of all skill levels. Makes a great disc for those who want to play with only one disc.
The convex rim, small bead and flat flight plate give the Lion a comfortable grip and create a neutral flight. Thrown hard and flat, it’ll finish with a touch more glide than a Roc3 and enough fade to keep it on track. Trust anhyzer to hold a long, consistent line throughout the flight.

Face your bogey demons head-on with the Innova Pro Gorgon – the understable distance driver that feels more like a fairway driver. It’s easy to throw and love.
How the Pro Gorgon feels: Easy to grip and release. Rim is thinner than other distance drivers and its underside is also flatter. Most have a noticeable dome. Feels similar to an IT.
Pro Gorgon Flight numbers: 10 / 6 / -2 / 1
How it flies: With a flat release, amid mild conditions, most players will find the Gorgon travels smoothly (300 to 350+) with an easy turn and a fade that’s present, but not overly so. The disc facilitates any release angle including anhyzers that seem to sail forever. Great as a distance gainer for less powerful throwers.
“It's similar to a speed 10 version of the Leopard3 or Hawkeye. Very controllable fairway driver like flight in a distance driver,” said Innova General Manager Kobyn Dunipace.
Forehand: For those with mild to moderate forehand power, the Gorgon will fit right in your bag with long, straight flights with modest turn. Those with noticeable power will find it flippy.
Pro plastic: is the next progression from DX plastic. It’s known for its affordability and boosted glide. Compared to Champion and Star plastic it has enhanced grip, however Pro is not as durable. Usually more understable than other premium plastics.
The Pro Gorgon is great for:
When you want distance driver speed but not distance driver fade
Throwing anhyzers that don’t fight against you
Players that don’t like super wide rims
Those needing a longer fairway driver
Lengthy low ceiling shots
How will I throw it? In lighter weights, this disc could come in handy for beginners looking to tack on distance. Intermediate players will really benefit from this disc’s turning ease. For advance or power throwers, the Gorgon would likely be limited to specific turnover situations.
