Innova Monarch (Halo Star)
The Innova Monarch in Halo Star is an understable distance driver built to turn over. It is fast on paper, but the turn is strong enough that a slower arm can fly it too.
Flight Numbers: 10 / 5 / -4 / 1
Halo Star is Innova's Star plastic with a two-tone look: a ring of contrasting color around the rim. It has the same grip and durability as regular Star. Star beats in slowly, and the Monarch keeps getting easier to flip as it wears.
Thrown backhand on a hyzer it flips up, rides straight, and finishes with a soft fade, which is why a 300 foot hyzer flip comes without much effort. It is also one of the few understable discs that works well as a forehand. It does not like wind. In a headwind it flips and keeps rolling right, so save it for calm air and tailwinds. With a slower arm it acts like a neutral driver. Add power and it turns.
Best for intermediate arms, forehand throwers, and anyone who needs a fast flip to get out of trouble in the trees. A true beginner may find speed 10 a lot to manage.
