The Boss is a fast, powerful, dependable distance driver rated 13/5/-1/3, with just a touch of high-speed turn to boost distance and a strong, reliable fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). It is built for full-power throws and sidearm drivers who want a high-speed disc that stays stable and finishes predictably. Advanced players and forehand throwers value its dependable stability in wind and under power; it is not a beginner's first driver, since it takes real arm speed to bring out its full flight. Innova notes that the Champion Boss flies a bit more stable than the base rating (closer to 13/5/0/3), so plastic choice shifts the finish. It is a shallow, fast, beadless speed-13 rim. Approved in 2008, the Boss earned a permanent place in distance-driving history in March 2016, when David Wiggins Jr set the world record for the longest throw, 1,108 feet, with a 154-gram R-Pro Boss. That record framed the Boss as a genuine maximum-distance driver for years. R-Pro and DX give a grippier, slightly less stable flight; Champion and Star hold the overstable finish and are the durable picks for power throwers.

The Innova Boss is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
