Obstacles seems to wither away with the Rasmus Saukkoriipi Proto Glow Champion Toro from Innova.
How this batch of Proto Glow Champion Toro feels: Flat. Softer feel.
More about the player: Rasmus Saukkoriipi, of Finland, is a forehand specialist who’s been on the pro scene since 2022. Largely appearing in Europe, Saukkoriipi tied for 19th at the 2023 European Open and has a number of other impressive finishes.
More about the disc: Bulldoze your way to the green with the Innova Toro – the great feeling overstable mid range that’s sure to win-over power players in any arena. New Proto Glow material shines on and on.
Flight Numbers: 4 / 2 / 1 / 3
Get the birdie party stared right with Kevin Jones’ Innova Luster Champion Max. This disc really knows how to lay a beat … down.
How this batch of Luster Max feels: Minimal dome. Handy Luster grip.
More about the player: Already a well known name on tour, Jones joined Team Innova midway through the 2024 season, bringing his podium experience and clutch play. Last year, he had a top five finish at the Ledgestone, but he’s probably best known for his 2020 DGPT Championship win. Off the course, he Rocs the house with his DJ skills (hence the stereo themed stamp).
More about the disc: With a fade of 5 (the most for an Innova disc) and a minimal glide of 3, the Star Max is the closest you can come to throwing a PDGA approved cinder block. No matter how you throw it, it will fade a way to fade.
Flight Numbers: 11 / 3 / 0 / 5

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.
Great for:
Short Drives
Lengthy circle putts
Clutch, hard throwing putts.

Turn down the overstability of the Firebird a notch with the grippy and flexy Innova GStar Firebird.
How it feels: The Firebird’s medium sized rim allows for a comfortable fit for any sized hand. Dome ranges from modest to noticeable.
Firebird Flight numbers: 9 / 3 / 0 / 4
Flight Path: Thrown flat with enough power, the overstable Firebird will fly straight for short to medium length drives until its strong fade hooks it to the ground. Excellent control driver for those overpowering other drivers. *A sidearm dominant player approved disc.
GStar plastic: GStar plastic provides the most grip and flexibility from a premium Innova plastic. Really shines in wet and cold weather. Not quite as durable as Star, Champion, or Halo, but not as overstable either.
The Innova Firebird is great for:
Forehand Power drives
Big backhand hyzers
Powering through Headwinds
Overhand hammers and thumbers
Skip shots
Forced anhyzers once seasoned

How will I throw it?: Beginners: We do not recommend this disc to newer players. Intermediate players should be able to handle a GStar Firebird, especially in a lighter weight. Advanced players will make the most of the disc and its array of uses, even for the occasional flex anhyzer.
