Innova Destroyer
The Innova Destroyer is a overstable distance driver (12/5/-1/3) - best for advanced players.
Our take on the Destroyer
The Innova Destroyer is the benchmark every other distance driver gets measured against, and the numbers tell you why. At speed 12 with 5 glide, a -1 turn and a strong 3 fade, it is an overstable bomber that rewards arm speed. Give it the power it demands and you get a touch of high-speed turn off the tee, a long glide through the flight, and a dependable fade that finishes left for a right-handed backhand thrower. It handles hyzers, flex shots, and long anhyzer lines.
This is not a beginner disc, and the recommended skill level (intermediate to advanced) is honest. Without real snap, that 12 speed and 2.2 cm rim width make it dump and fade early, costing you distance. In the controllable-overstable distance class it sits near the Innova Tern, just more reliable in wind, and it holds a line far better than a flippy driver like the Star Mamba.
Plastic options run deep, from Champion durability to lightweight Blizzard for max distance, at a fair 9.99 to 22.99 price.
