The Max is a fast, very overstable power driver rated 11/3/0/5, a low-glide, hard-fading mold that holds its line against power and wind before a strong, dependable finish to the left (for a right-handed backhand). Innova describes it as much like a faster Firebird or Monster, and it fills that overstable utility-driver role at higher speed. That heavy fade and low glide make it a forehand (sidearm) driver's disc and a dependable tool for anhyzer flex shots and spike hyzers thrown backhand. It stays predictable into a headwind and takes torque without flipping. Because it fades so hard, it is not a distance or straight-line disc for most players; it is a control and wind driver for experienced, powerful arms. It is a shallow, beadless speed-11 rim. Approved in 2006, the Max is one of Innova's long-standing overstable power drivers. Champion and Star hold the strong fade longest, which is what forehand and windy-day throwers want.

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.
