Innova Elixer Power Disc 2 (Star PD2)
1
The Innova Elixer Star Power Disc 2 is Innova's version of the old Discmania PD2, a beefy overstable distance driver made in Star plastic. Think of it as a less glidey, more overstable cousin of the Star Destroyer, built for days when you need the disc to hold a line without a second thought.
Flight Numbers: 12 / 4 / 0 / 4
Star is Innova's flexible, grippy premium blend, translucent enough to show the Elixer stamp through the plastic, and durable enough to handle years of tree hits without cracking. It holds its overstable flight for a long time rather than turning flippy as it wears, so the fade you get out of the box is close to the fade you get seasons later.
This driver has zero turn and heavy fade, so it does not flip over no matter how hard you rip it, which makes it a dependable choice on windy days or for forced turnovers on a forehand line. It is not a distance driver for a slower arm speed to work with; advanced throwers who can already get a Destroyer moving will get the most out of the extra fade here. Bag it for headwind holes and big forehand drives where you need the disc to fight back into the fairway.
Need something that will not turn over in the wind? The Champion PD Power Disc Phantom Sword is the closest comparison. Want something with a bit more speed for the same job? The Halo Firebird fades just as hard. See the rest of the overstable distance drivers.
