The Racer is a fast, stable long-range distance driver rated 12/6/-1/2, built for maximum distance with a smooth, dependable fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). Innova describes its performance as similar to a seasoned, beat-in Destroyer, which makes it a natural fit for players with maximum distance under about 450 feet.

That seasoned-Destroyer flight is the appeal: it offers excellent torque resistance for both sidearm (forehand) and backhand drives while still gliding long and finishing smoothly rather than diving out hard. It rewards a smooth release and gives controllable distance without the demanding overstability of a fresh power driver. It is a shallow, beadless speed-12 rim.

Approved in 2023, the Racer is a modern long-range driver in Innova's distance lineup.

Premium runs hold the smooth, stable flight and are the durable picks for power throwers.

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.
