The Lone Star Discs Nimitz in Alpha plastic is an overstable distance driver built to sit between the Curl and the Warbird, and Alpha is Lone Star's stiffest, grippiest plastic blend.

Flight Numbers: 11 / 5 / -1 / 3

Alpha has a less beveled bottom edge and a more angled wing than most drivers, so it sits a little different in the hand than an Innova equivalent. It is stiffer than Innova's Star plastic but grippier, closer in feel to Lat 64 Fusion X, and it holds its shape well before it starts to loosen up.

Out of the box it flies like a trusty, slightly beat-in Wraith: a bit of high speed turn on a big arm that always fights back to a reliable fade. Throwers who get their drives out past 400 feet see the full flight open up, while shorter throws stay tighter and more overstable. As it wears in, it can pick up a touch of flip in a headwind, so keep a fresher one in the bag for wind fighting.

Good for intermediate and advanced players who want a dependable workhorse off the tee, on forehand, and on thumber shots. It is a natural next step up in speed for someone who already trusts a Wraith.

Want the same shape from Innova's lineup? The Innova Star Destroyer is the closest comparison in speed and stability. Prefer more distance in a similar class? The Discraft ESP Nuke is worth a look. See the rest of our overstable distance drivers.
