by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-TCS25-MAX (REF2050-4)
Description
The Innova Luster Champion Max distance driver is a fast, very overstable driver for forehands and wind, molded in Luster Champion plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on forehands, flex shots, and spike hyzers. This listing is the Kevin Jones Team Champion Series release of the Max. Kevin Jones is one of disc golf's most beloved athletes of the past decade.
Luster Champion Plastic
Luster Champion is a premium, pearlescent variation of Innova's classic Champion plastic. Instead of Champion's clear look, it has a glossy, pearlescent finish, and some runs are paired with full-color INNfuse stamps. It shares Champion's long-lasting toughness against trees and rocks, offers a slightly tackier, more tactile grip than regular Champion (though it can feel stiff in the cold), and tends to fly more overstable than stock Champion for many molds, which makes it a favorite for wind-fighting and dependable fade.
The Mold
The Max is a fast stable driver, much like a faster Firebird or Monster. It's great for forehand drives, and backhand throwers can use it for anhyzer flex shots and spike hyzers. It's predictable and dependable into the wind and designed for experienced players with powerful arms.
Stability
The Max is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.

| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
