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 Xero in Soft Pro plastic is the dead straight putt and approach disc that suddenly turns out of range putts into makeable ones.
**Scuffs are more apparent in Soft Pro plastic. This is normal and does not affect the flight or performance of disc.
How the Xero disc feels: Compared to the Aviar, it has a deeper, wider rim and a bead. The Soft Pro Xero is noticeably softer and flexier than the R-Pro edition.
Innova Xero Putter Flight Numbers: 2 / 3 / 0 / 0
How the Soft Pro Xero flies: The Xero helps increase your putting comfort zone. That’s because the zero high speed turn and zero fade provide a straight flight at slow putting speeds. So even if you don’t land as cleanly on the green as expected, that putt with the Xero is still doable – making it one of the best putters for beginners.
Approach shots are just as handy. Controlled approaches and short drives are right up the Xero’s alley. It just hums along and does its thing.
Great for:
Long putts from downtown.
Smooth, straight, and predictable approach shots.
Winter and rainy disc golf.
