The Philo Brathwaite Destroyer is one of Innova's hottest tour series releases every year. The Star Destroyer underneath the stamp is the same overstable distance driver that most touring pros carry, and this run keeps that reputation intact.

Flight Numbers: 12 / 5 / -1 / 3

Star plastic on a Destroyer is thin, flexible, and grippy, and it takes a beating from trees and pavement without chunking. It holds its overstable flight for a long time before beating in, and when it finally does soften, the disc turns a little more before fading, giving you a slightly flatter release window without losing the reliable finish. The rim is thin at 2.2 cm, comfortable for backhand and forehand alike at high speed.

Thrown flat with real speed it holds dead straight for most of the flight before hooking hard left at the end, and on anhyzer with enough power it turns into a crushing s-shaped flight past 350 feet. Into a headwind it barely notices the added resistance, which is exactly why it shows up in so many pro bags on tour.

This is not a beginner disc. It needs real arm speed to open up, and slower arms will get a short, hard-fading flight instead of the long glide it's known for. Intermediate players with a developing forehand get outsized distance from it, and advanced players use it as their go-to when the wind is up and they need the flight to hold.

Same mold, different plastic: the Innova Star Destroyer gives you the identical flight without the Philo stamp. Want a plastic that beats in faster and grips even better in cold weather? The Innova Halo Destroyer is worth a look. Shop every version in our Destroyer collection.
