The Innova Star Hawkeye is a straight flying fairway driver built from the old Innova FD mold, and Star plastic gives it a grippy, durable feel that holds its numbers well over time. It is often the next step up from a Leopard for players who want more control.

Flight Numbers: 7 / 5 / -1 / 1

Star plastic grips confidently in most weather and breaks in at a steady pace, holding its flight numbers close to true for a long stretch before it starts to soften. The more pointed nose on this mold gives it a slightly more aerodynamic profile than a Leopard3, and that shape is easier for a lot of people to release cleanly.

Thrown flat with a smooth release it goes dead straight with a small, gentle fade at the end. Add a little hyzer and it will flip up to flat and hold that line for a long, controlled flight, which makes it a strong option for tunnel shots and tight fairways. Push it hard enough and it will eventually turn over, so it rewards a clean release more than raw power.

Good for beginners who want a straight, forgiving flyer and for more advanced players who want a dependable neutral fairway driver for technical lines. Kids and slower arms do well with it too.
