The Innova Halo Star Savant is a 9 speed control driver that plays like a slightly friendlier Thunderbird, and Halo Star gives it a tougher, more overstable base than standard Star plastic. It fills the gap between a fairway driver and a full distance driver nicely.

Flight Numbers: 9 / 5 / -1 / 2

Halo Star holds its shape and stability longer than plain Star, so the Savant keeps flying true to its numbers well past the first season. It feels comfortable in the hand for both forehand and backhand releases, with enough grip to handle mild wind without fighting you on the release.

On a full power throw it holds a nice tight line with just a bit of high speed turn before a moderate, predictable fade. Players without a big arm can expect it to fly the way a Thunderbird flies for someone with more power, which makes it a good stand in for anyone still building distance. It handles tunnel shots and slightly tighter fairways well, and does not turn over even when you put extra snap on a forehand.

Good for players around 300 to 375 feet of drive distance who want a stable, dependable option for windy days or tighter lines. New players can throw it too, though a slower fairway driver will be easier to learn on first.
