2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Innova Thunderbird in Halo Star plastic is one of the most trusted control distance drivers in disc golf. With flight numbers of 9 | 5 | 0 | 2, it flies straight with minimal turn and finishes with a dependable, controlled fade.

The Halo Star blend adds durability, grip, and a slightly stiffer, more torque-resistant feel compared to standard Star. This often makes the Thunderbird feel a touch more stable and especially reliable in wind or on forehand shots while still maintaining its clean, workable flight.

The Thunderbird sits in the “do-it-all control driver” category—fast enough for real distance, but predictable enough for precision placement.
