The Starfire is a fast, dependable, overstable distance driver rated 10/4/0/3, flying a long, straight line before a strong fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). It handles headwinds well and holds up under power, which makes it a reliable disc for shaped distance shots. That good amount of fade is what gives it its signature flights: big S-shots when thrown flat with power, and hard, diving hyzers when thrown on an angle. It rewards arm speed and stays dependable in wind rather than turning over. Because it fades strongly, less powerful players will see it hook left early rather than fly far. It is a shallow, beadless distance driver. Approved in 2003, the Starfire is one of Innova's long-standing overstable distance drivers. Champion and Star hold the strong, dependable fade; the disc is built for durable, predictable overstability.

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.
