Innova Halo Star Sidewinder
4
The Innova Halo Star Sidewinder is Innova's most understable driver, built to turn over when you need it to. Halo Star is a firmer, beefier take on Star plastic, which nudges the fade closer to a 2 than the 1 you see on standard runs.
Flight Numbers: 9 / 5 / -3 / 1
Halo Star grips well in most weather and holds up to a beating better than lighter plastics, without giving up much of the flippy nature that makes the Sidewinder useful in the first place. It still turns over easily, just with a touch more staying power on the finish than a standard Star run.
Release it flat with any real power and it rides a long turn to the right before settling, which makes it a natural for tailwind holes and sweeping anhyzer lines. Drop the nose on release and it becomes one of the better roller discs Innova makes, digging into the ground and rolling a long way. It is forgiving of a slightly off release, which is exactly why beginners lean on it.
Best for newer players who need help getting a disc to turn over and finish straight, and for anyone who wants a dedicated roller. Advanced players mostly reach for it on specialty shots rather than every hole.
