The Innova Halo Star Valkyrie carries a piece of disc golf history. This mold held the world distance record for a decade, and Halo Star gives Innova's most famous speed driver a tougher, more durable shell than standard Star plastic.

Flight Numbers: 9 / 4 / -2 / 2

Halo Star holds its stability longer than plain Star, so this Valkyrie keeps its moderate turn and dependable fade further into its life instead of turning flippy after a season of tree hits. It grips well in most conditions and gives a clean release whether you throw forehand or backhand.

Thrown flat, it picks up a healthy amount of high speed turn before riding out into a long, gliding flight and finishing with a solid fade. That combination is what let this mold set distance records: you do not need a huge arm to get real distance out of it, just a clean release and a bit of hyzer to work with. Slower arms and players still building form get some of the most reliable distance in the Innova line here.

Good for newer players developing their throw, and just as useful for advanced players who want a turnover disc or a smooth roller once the plastic starts to season. It is one of the more forgiving distance drivers to learn on.

Want the classic feel with faster break in? The Star Valkyrie flips over sooner. Prefer more durability before it seasons? Try the Champion Valkyrie. See the rest of our stable distance drivers.
