Innova Roadrunner
The Innova Roadrunner is a very understable fairway driver (9/5/-4/1) - good for intermediate players.
Our take on the Roadrunner
If you want a fairway driver that turns over hard and rides forever, the Roadrunner is the one. At speed 9 with 5 glide and a deep -4 turn, it leans right out of the gate (for a right-handed backhand) and only fights back with a token 1 fade at the end. The -3 stability rating tells the whole story: this disc resists fading, so beginners and slower arms can finally see a long, gliding flight instead of a hard left dump.
This makes the Roadrunner ideal for turnover shots, gentle right-bending lines, and rollers. Newer players get easy distance because they don't need power to keep it in the air. Throw it on a hyzer flip and it stands up and cruises.
Think of it as a faster, more workable cousin to the Innova Leopard - more speed and glide, but the same understable personality. Available from DX up to Champion plastic, the GStar and Champion runs hold that turn longer for stronger arms.
