by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-GS-RAC (REF1995-2)
Description
The Innova GStar Racer fairway driver is a fast, stable driver with a smooth fade, molded in GStar plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on max distance with a smooth fade. If you're shopping for a dependable Racer 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
The Racer is a fast, stable long-range driver for players seeking maximum distance with a smooth fade. It performs similar to a seasoned Destroyer, making it ideal for players with max distance under 450 feet, and it offers excellent torque resistance for sidearm and backhand.
Stability
The Racer 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.

FAQ
Is the Innova Racer good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 12 speed, the Racer needs good arm speed to fly as intended.
Is the Innova Racer overstable?
Not really. The Racer is stable, rated 12/6/-1/2, 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 Racer?
The Innova Destroyer (12/5/-1/3) is the closest match. Innova says the Racer flies like a seasoned Destroyer.
How far does the Innova Racer fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 395 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
