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

Do your fingers a favor and purchase the Innova Firefly in Soft Pro Plastic. The plastic is so gummy and grippy your hands will never want to putt with anything else.
**Scuffs are more apparent in Soft Pro plastic. This is normal and does not affect the flight or performance of disc.
How the Soft Pro Firefly feels: Very Flat. Beadless. Grip to the max. Great for cold weather rounds.
Innova Firefly Flight numbers: 2 / 3 / 0 / 1
How the Firefly disc flies: Players have taken to the Firefly so fast because of its stable to overstable short range flight that stays true in a range of conditions. It has a touch more fade than the Aviar, which comes in handy for long range hyzer putts and stable approach shots.

Lengthy circle putts
Clutch, hard throwing putts.

The Innova GStar Mako3 provides laser straight lines in a plastic that’s both super grippy and long lasting.
How the Mako3 disc feels: The Mako3’s thin rim makes grip and release natural for any sized hands. Dome can range from pretty flat to noticeable.
Mako3 Flight Numbers: 5 / 5 / 0 / 0
How the Mako3 flies: How do you lower your score? Simple. Stay in the fairway. And, no disc does it better than the Mako3. This stable to understable large diameter mid range has a slow and steady speed and hugs the line you lay it on, especially when it’s a straight one. Its ease of use puts control in the hands of every golfer.
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 generally more understable than Champion and Star plastics.
Great for:
Consistently straight medium length drives and approaches
Immediate hyzer flips
One-disc rounds.
How will I throw it?: Beginner to intermediate players will see straight flights with a moderate fade at flight’s end. As they become more accustomed to the disc, they will experience an even straighter finish. Advanced players will see moderate turn right off the bat. As it ages it will become an easy turnover disc.
