The Innova Star Wraith, in our Reaper stamped run, is the disc that lets an amateur arm throw the same lines a touring pro throws with a Destroyer. It's slightly slower and more forgiving, but the flight shape is close enough that it teaches you the same shots.

Flight Numbers: 11 / 5 / -1 / 3

Star holds its stability for years and keeps a comfortable, grippy feel through heavy use. The rim is narrower than a full speed 12 driver, noticeably easier to control for smaller hands or anyone still building grip strength at higher speeds.

On a clean, flat pull it turns over just slightly before a straight glide and a moderate, dependable fade, and in a headwind it holds that line far better than understable drivers, which tend to turn into rollers the moment the wind picks up. It works equally well forehand and backhand, and it's fast enough to reward growing arm speed without punishing a throw that's a little short of full power. It's the disc to point an intermediate player toward the moment they're ready to look past fairway drivers toward real distance.
