by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-GS-Bos (REF905 *AST**6)
Description
The Innova GStar Boss distance driver is Innova's max-distance driver and a distance world record holder, molded in GStar plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on max-distance backhand and sidearm drives. If you're shopping for a dependable Boss for your bag, this GStar run is a great place to start.
GStar Plastic
GStar is a blend of Star that adds flexibility and even more grip. It's opaque like Star with a pearlescent sheen, has the same durability as Star, and has a smooth, gradual transition in flight. For cold weather play, the flexibility and grip of GStar can't be beat, and it keeps similar flexibility when the weather warms up. It's ideal for players with less grip strength.
The Mold
Designed for maximum distance off the tee, the Boss is a great choice for sidearm or backhand throwers. The R-Pro Boss holds the distance world record of 1,108 feet (338 meters), thrown by David Wiggins Jr.
Stability
The Boss is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Innova Boss good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 13 speed, the Boss needs good arm speed to fly as intended.
Is the Innova Boss overstable?
Not really. The Boss is stable, rated 13/5/-1/3, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between GStar and Star plastic?
GStar is a more flexible, grippier blend of Star with a pearlescent sheen and the same durability. It's great in cold weather.
What disc is similar to the Innova Boss?
The Innova Destroyer (12/5/-1/3) is a slightly slower, stable power driver.
How far does the Innova Boss fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 410 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
