The Innova Halo Star Mako3 puts our Flame Vortex foil stamp on the straightest-flying midrange Innova makes. The Mako3 does one thing and does it well: it goes exactly where you point it, with almost no turn and almost no fade.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 5 / 0 / 0

Halo Star takes Innova's grippy, durable Star blend and adds a foil stamp process that runs a touch firmer than plain Star out of the wrapper. It breaks in slowly, holds its stability for a long time, and the extra rigidity keeps the flat top holding its shape through years of straight throws.

Thrown level with a medium amount of power it goes dead straight, no turning right and no fading left, which is exactly why I use it to check whether my own form is off. On a hyzer it holds that line without much drift, and it takes a real headwind before it starts to wobble. Beginners learn what a clean release feels like because the Mako3 shows every mistake instead of hiding it, and it doubles as a straight upshot disc for advanced players who just need it to go where they aimed. Forehand throwers get the same dead-straight flight off a flat, easy release.

Want the same flight in a softer, grippier plastic? The Innova Star Mako3 is the plain version of this mold. Need more durability for a beat-in bag staple? The Innova GStar Mako3 lasts even longer. Browse the rest of our stable midranges.
