The Roadrunner is a very understable control driver that excels at turnovers and rollers. It has very high glide and minimal fade, making it an ideal first driver for getting a full flight and good distance. For intermediate and advanced players, however, the Roadrunner lives up to its namesake with its potential for long, controlled rollers, as well as sweeping turnovers. The Roadrunner was approved in 2005 and was the first wide-rimmed disc intended specifically for rolling. However, over the years the Roadrunner has been known to come in a wide range of stabilities: some are extremely understable and some are closer to neutral flyers. Regardless, the beginner-friendly nature and rolling capabilities of this disc have made it quite popular since its release. Several pros have been known to bag a Roadrunner, including Gregg Barsby, Nate Sexton, and Holly Finley. PFN and Metal Flake Roadrunners are collectible, as are some variations of Barsby Signature Series Roadrunners.

The Innova Roadrunner 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.
