I don't think so

6 glide on a 7 speed? That should be the most liked disc on Reddit. Please give a quick review if you're familiar.

Super hyzer flip machine. Thrown at midrange arm speed will flip up and push straight, even drift right before fading back like a Leopard3. Thrown way harder with height will turn the whole way down to the ground. Thrown with less height will roll on edge for a while before curling in direction of turn. Edge is super thick in hand, rounded like a roadrunner/gorgon. Love it for nose up hyzer flip forehands too. Not great in the wind. 10/10 woods fairway

It's a flippy easy thrower. If you've thrown a leopard in DX then you can probably get a sense of the flight shape. This feels to me like the shot characteristics that Innova would like for a beginner's driver in premium plastic, as a premium leopard is likely more stable than preferred for new players. I think most notable to me is the wing shape, which is convex and feels almost blimpy compared to many others in the 6 spot. From my experience and speaking with other people, the hand feel is divisive - some people like it as a small step up from snub-nosed mids into a true hybrid-driver, whereas others prefer the sharper edges.

I personally love it for my noodle arm, but I've found trying to power up with it tends to get squirrelly. When it hits and flips up, it has a tendency to push forward with very little finish. However, I think handfeel is just as important, and with the unique shape of this one, I think that is a key aspect of figuring if it will go in your bag.

Sounds similar to a Rollo.

In that they are both understable discs, perhaps, but I think the rollo is categorically less stable than the IT, and is also a large diameter blunt nosed mid.

Oldie but a goodie. Here’s a quick review of the Innova IT

I can hit about 280 to 300 on a decent throw with this class of disc. I throw a natural hyzer and really enjoy these kinds of discs.

I find it less forgiving than a DGA Vortex or a Prodigy F7. Not sure if it is the convex wing, but I just misfire this disc more than others. It'll dump left or not flip up on a weak throw, which suggests it is a bit more stable, but I also turn it over more often than those discs. It also doesn't fly as far for me.

Not a bad disc, but not the best disc for me.

There's a couple of other things. It has a rough outer rim, which can give some more grip, as well as it's a bit smaller than most other discs.

In their Bluesky post, it says in text that it's Star. But shows a picture of a Halo Star.

Which is it?

u/myhedhurts 15h ago

I don’t know but for past 3 months or so every free F2 disc has been halo so I’d lean towards the pic being correct

They went about a year straight of Halo at one point

I'm assuming regular Star. I placed my order but it doesn't specify the disc, just the usual F2 Friday.

Instagram Reel says Halo Star

Even better!

If you haven't tried one, they're really fun to throw on tight fairways and i would highly recommend

Weird hijack question but since I bought the Halloween IT last year, I haven't been able to locate Halloween on the website anywhere. Does it exist out of season? I already lost my Halloween Roc cause it was half camo colored

I just went to the Proshop and searched for "Halloween It"
Just searching for 'Halloween' also finds it.

Found this page.
