Innova Disc Golf Star TL3 Fairway Driver 8/4/-1/1 - Choose Exact Disc
by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-ST-TL3 (REF896 *AST**5)
Description
The Innova Star TL3 fairway driver is a faster, more controllable TL, molded in Star plastic. It's built for players who want a straight, easy-to-control flight, and it's at its best on controlled straight drives. If you're shopping for a dependable TL3 for your bag, this Star run is a great place to start.
Star Plastic
Star is created with a special blend of grippy, resilient polymers. It offers the outstanding durability of Champion plastic with improved grip like Pro plastic, and it flies like Champion while being slightly less firm. It provides predictable performance, long-lasting durability even on wooded or rugged courses, good all-weather grip, and it retains its flight longer than DX or Pro plastics.
The Mold
The TL3 is the "3" top version of the TL, more controllable and a bit faster than the standard TL.
Stability
The TL3 is neutral-to-stable. Neutral discs fly straight and true with very little turn or fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with only a slight drift left as it slows down. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with a gentle drift right at the finish. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's an easy choice for beginners and a reliable tool for experienced players.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 8 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
