Innova Disc Golf Proto Glow Champion Destroyer Distance Driver 12/5/-1/3 -Choose
Description
The Innova Proto Glow Champion Destroyer distance driver is Innova's gold-standard distance driver, molded in Proto Glow Champion plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on fast, stable power drives. If you're shopping for a dependable Destroyer for your bag, this Proto Glow Champion run is a great place to start.
Proto Glow Champion Plastic
Proto Glow is Innova's major upgrade over its older, fast-fading glow plastics. It glows significantly brighter and lasts much longer, holding visible illumination for 20 minutes or more. Proto Glow Champion is the premium, durable version with a glowing core. Designed for professional players, Champion discs are usually a little firmer and more stable than the same model in other plastics, and they keep performing predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic, even on wooded or rugged courses.
The Mold
The Destroyer is a fast, stable power driver with significant glide. It's a great disc for sidearm throwers and players with lots of power.
Stability
The Destroyer is stable-to-overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
