Innova Proto Glow Tern 12 | 6 | -3 | 2

Light up the fairway and unleash massive distance long after the sun goes down! The Innova Proto Glow Tern is a high-speed, understable distance driver famous for its incredible glide and shapeable flight. Molded in Innova's upgraded, ultra-bright glow-in-the-dark plastic, this 12-speed bomber provides the tacky grip and premium durability of Star plastic while keeping you visible during night rounds. If you want a smooth, long-turning distance driver that you can trust in the dark, add the Proto Glow Tern to your Innova Tern Collection and keep your Innova lineup flying 24/7.

Flight Numbers & Performance

The Tern features official flight numbers of 12 | 6 | -3 | 2. While 12-speed drivers require a solid arm to get up to speed, the Tern's exceptionally high 6 glide and understable -3 turn do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. It stays airborne longer and naturally wants to turn over, providing beautiful S-curves that maximize your total distance potential.

How the Proto Glow Tern fits your game:

• Night Golf Ready: The intense brightness of the Proto Glow plastic makes it incredibly easy to track your drives and find your disc on unlit courses.
• Max Distance S-Curves: Throw it flat and watch it sweep to the right (for RHBH throws) before fading back, eating up massive chunks of the fairway.
• Long Hyzer Flips: Thrown on a hyzer angle, the Tern will pop up to flat and glide perfectly straight for a surprisingly long time.
• Tailwind Bombs: The combination of high glide and understability helps the Tern carry incredibly far when you have a tailwind helping push it downfield.

The Proto Glow Plastic Advantage

Innova’s Proto Glow is a massive leap forward in glow disc technology. It features a significantly brighter and much longer-lasting photoluminescent pigment than older glow blends, meaning you get more throws per UV charge. In the hand, Proto Glow feels incredibly similar to premium Star plastic, offering that same tacky, all-weather grip and top-tier durability.

• Star Tern: The classic premium opaque blend. Offers the same great grip as Proto Glow but in vibrant daytime colors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Proto Glow better than standard Glow plastic?

Proto Glow uses a completely upgraded photoluminescent pigment. It charges faster, glows significantly brighter, and holds its charge for much longer than traditional Innova DX or Champion Glow plastics. Plus, it has the premium feel and flexibility of Star plastic.

Is the Tern a good driver for beginners?

Because it is a 12-speed distance driver, the Tern is not recommended for brand-new beginners. However, once you have developed decent arm speed and are comfortably throwing 9-speed and 10-speed discs, the Tern is one of the most forgiving discs to help you step up into the high-speed driver category.

Does the Proto Glow Tern fly differently than the Champion Tern?

Yes! Innova modifies the flight numbers of the Tern based on the plastic. Proto Glow, Star, and Pro Terns have a highly understable -3 turn, making them easier to flip. Champion and Halo Star Terns mold up stiffer and slightly more overstable, earning them a -2 turn rating.
