Innova Garrett Gurthie Tour Series Halo Star Destroyer 12 | 5 | -1 | 3
Garrett Gurthie’s signature releases are highly anticipated by players who need a distance driver that will not turn over under heavy power. Joining our collection of premium distance drivers, his 2026 Tour Series edition utilizes a firmer polymer batch than standard stock runs. This added rigidity means the disc resists flexing during high-velocity releases, minimizing high-speed turn right out of the retail box. Thrown flat, it carries straight down the fairway before executing a stout, predictable late-flight fade to secure a consistent landing zone.
Flight Numbers
The printed flight ratings of 12 | 5 | -1 | 3 outline the classic Destroyer blueprint. Because this specific tour batch is noticeably firmer than stock solid-color or standard Halo variants, it resists high-speed flipping and behaves as a true zero-turn driver for most intermediate and advanced arm speeds.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 5 | -1 | 3 |
The Garrett Gurthie Destroyer delivers:
- Stiffer Plastic Profile: A rigid rim texture that offers a clean release snap and maintains its shape over time.
- High Torque Resistance: Smoothly handles high-spin backhand throws and aggressive forehand snaps without wavering.
- Dependable Low-Speed Fade: A strong, consistent finishing hook that handles headwinds and crosswinds reliably.
It excels at:
- Full-power distance shots where a predictable landing zone is required.
- Headwind driving situations where standard, softer plastic runs might turn over too easily.
- Forced anhyzer flex lines that need to carry downfield before executing a firm hyzer recovery.
The Stiffer Halo Star Plastic Advantage
The defining characteristic of the 2026 Garrett Gurthie edition is its specific material cooling profile. Physically, this disc features a dense, colored outer ring fused seamlessly with an opaque center flight plate. While stock runs offer a more pliable hand feel, this Tour Series batch was specifically molded to create a firmer, more rigid wing structure. This added stiffness enhances the disc’s initial overstability and significantly extends its operational lifespan. The rigid rim shrugs off impacts from trees and rocks without warping, ensuring the driver maintains its factory flight characteristics over multiple seasons of tournament play.
How the Garrett Gurthie Destroyer Fits in the Innova Lineup
- Vs Stock Halo Star Destroyers: While sharing the same dual-color visual layout, the stock Innova Halo Star Destroyer run is more compliant in the hand. The Garrett Gurthie run is physically stiffer, resulting in more pronounced initial overstability.
- Vs the Innova Star Destroyer: Standard stock Star runs are softer and season quickly to activate a workable high-speed turn (-1). The GG Tour Series requires more velocity to flex but offers far more wind-fighting predictability.
- Vs the Innova Champion Destroyer: The Champion version uses a translucent polymer with a slicker texture. The Garrett Gurthie Halo Star variant provides a similarly rigid feel but retains the high-tack, opaque grip profile of premium Star plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Garrett Gurthie Halo Destroyer
Why is the Garrett Gurthie Destroyer run stiffer than stock runs?
This specific Tour Series run was manufactured to be noticeably more rigid than stock solid-color or standard Halo Star iterations. The added stiffness helps the wing resist flexing under high stress, providing maximum torque resistance for players with high release velocities.
Is this Destroyer run suitable for intermediate disc golfers?
Because it is stiffer and highly overstable out of the box, players with lower arm speeds will find it hooks left early on a backhand throw. However, intermediate and advanced players will find it useful as a dependable utility tool for fighting headwinds and executing predictable skip shots.
Does the extra stiffness affect the grip in cold weather?
While it feels firmer in the hand than a traditional stock run, the Star-based polymer blend maintains good traction across all seasons. It provides a secure release point without slipping, even on damp or cold mornings.
