The Innova Champion Metal Flake Destroyer, in this Reaper Edition stamp, is the disc that made speed 12 distance drivers their own category. This overstable driver carries enough turn to glide through the whole flight before it fades hard, and it is still the yardstick every other distance driver on the shelf gets measured against.

Flight Numbers: 12 / 5 / -1 / 3

Champion is Innova's clear, UV resistant premium blend, and this Metal Flake run adds a sparkle finish that catches light without changing how the disc feels in the hand. It is firm, glassy smooth, and resists gouging on rough fairways better than base DX. It takes a while to beat in, so the overstable flight you throw on day one is close to what you get a hundred rounds later.

Thrown flat with real speed it holds a slight turn through the first half of the flight before fading hard left, and on a hyzer it locks in and holds that line into a headwind without flipping. The thin 1.4 cm flight plate and 2.2 cm rim sit comfortably on a forehand release, and intermediate throwers get more distance out of a forehand with this mold than almost anything else in the bag.

Advanced and pro throwers use it as an all conditions driver that holds up in wind, and newer forehand players get more carry from this mold than most drivers at their arm speed. I replaced two long-time drivers with this exact stamp.
