Favored by many of the world's top pros, the Innova Destroyer is the best-selling overstable distance driver in history, featuring a long, predictable flight.
Innova says this about the Destroyer: "The Destroyer is a very fast stable long distance driver. This disc is much like a faster Wraith, but with a little more high and low speed stability. Great disc for sidearm throwers and those with lots of power. Can handle headwinds and throws with off axis torque. Not suggested for beginning players."
Almost every disc golf manufacturer attempts to design a replica of the Innova Destroyer—the gold standard of distance drivers. Known for its long and predictable flight, players of all skill levels, especially advanced and pro players, have reached for the Destroyer to fill that overstable, long-distance driver slot in their bag.
Made in a variety of plastics, Innova ensures that the Destroyer will be able to check all the right boxes for each individual’s preferences, including grip, dome, stability, weight, etc.

Flight Metrics
Speed
The velocity required to reach a disc's optimal flight path. Range: 1 to 15.
Glide
The measure of lift generated by a disc to stay aloft. Range: 1 to 7.
Turn
The velocity, relative to the speed of the disc, required to cause the disc to turn with the direction of spin. Range: +1 to -5.
Fade
The low-velocity stability that causes a disc to hook at the end of its flight. Range: 0 to 5.
Swirly star Destroyer feels great. This runs seems to be very throwable. Less overstable than halo runs but holds a great s curve line. Reliable fade even when turned over.
Pretty much the OG of distance drivers at this point. I've tried very hard to find a better overstable distance driver because I'm not the biggest fan of champion or star plastic, but even if I don't like the feels of the plastic, the mold is excellent and it flies the way I want on the course. Additional bonus that it comes in very low weights for a noodle arm thrower. At 157g, I can (RHBH) flat release a throw that will drift right over before fading, which is my longest throw. Blizzard rim tends to eat up dirt which can't be washed out, in case you are headed in that direction.
I got this Destroyer for some of my forehand shots.

I got this disc as a birthday gift and love it! It is one of the most overstable discs that I have ever thrown, and I mostly use it for utility shots, but have started using it for headwind drives recently, as I lost my Star Sockibot Destroyer, which was almost as dumpy. I also have a Gannon Buhr 2021 Rookie of the Year D1. I am having a hard time deciding which is the most overstable. Although I don’t use either of these discs very much, I try to use them cause I love Calvin and Gannon!
Radically overstable, that is! This disc must be made for players with 550+ feet of power because it is pure poptop beef! My friends and I all ordered these out of love for Calvin. Most of us use it as a wall hanger, but one buddy plays it primarily as a utility hook driver. He throws his Heimburg Destroyer on shots where I throw my Machete. He also throws anhyzer flex shots with it, and this is the only way I know that the disc is glidey…. on a normal throw it hyzers into the ground too early to exhibit any glide. Gotta support Vinny, even if we can’t throw like him!
Sockibot Destroyers are in a stability sweet spot that lets me backhand crush them as an intermediate player. Very resistant to off axis torque, so they also fly nicely for developing forehands! These Sockibots start out pretty stable. After a few months of use, mine show some turn with a reliable forward-pushing fade. I’m sure Ricky or Calvin can turn these over, but for a mortal armspeed that throws around 400 feet, these Destroyers are money!
The destroyer is a very consistent disc that I use for drives where I need a lot of fade. It has a comfortable grip for backhand and sidearm. Not a good disc for beginners.
