This is my favorite episode Eric. Thank you so much for bringing Calvin my favorite player. still think your serie with pro and their disc is an amazing idea man.

This Destroyer flys more like a Firebird, this one more like a Shryke, this one more like a Wraith and this one is my Destroyer.

I absolutely love these series

[@user-rn8sy7kj1h]

That good ole innova consistency!

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

I totally agree, but surprisingly Innova has been pretty consistent with Halo Destroyers. Color defines the mould they have used. That white/pink is very close to 2021 series. I wish they would have thrown black/pink in this video. Those have a massive dome. The domiest of 2022 Heimburg Destroyers. Discs that I have seen were consistent within the same color. It is easy to buy different color to find different flight. It is another question that should discs with different moulds be all called Destroyers since those are different discs.

[@user-rn8sy7kj1h]

@@kimmomatikainen1843 ah that's good then. I wonder if the differences in stability between colors is intentional

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

@@user-rn8sy7kj1h With Innova you never know if it was intentional or not :)

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

@@user-rn8sy7kj1h It is known that Innova has used different moulds in discs and e.g. in Destroyers. Vulcan tops, Wraith tops etc. Bottom parts from different discs as well. That is how they get different parting lines and flights. A bit unfair for consumers to call them all Destroyers. A bit like calling all berries strawberries and you never know if you get a blackberry, blueberry or strawberry. Nightmare to order those from online shops, because you never know what mould you get. At least they all are overstable.

[@melacine34]

I'd like to see the Falcor with Leiviska! That'd be awesome. Appreciate the content as always. I was googling about the stability of these versus last year so it's always great to hear Calvin's take on them.

[@intensenarwhal3688]

I throw a blue one. I’m rly liking it. Forehand I can get some rly nice flights on it. And with my slower backhand I rip on it all I want and it’ll fight back for me.

[@discgolfteacher]

If anyone wants to see what it flies like when an AM throws it, I just made a video on my channel. It is GOOD.

[@mattpeter8963]

Thanks man. Good to see how a normal person uses this dis into a headwind!

Follow flights are a nice touch. Thanks!

[@RickyParkerDrums]

My dude, you gotta look into the Finish Line Era they're so workable!

[@xposition2001]

I just found a black rim one at 1 of my locals with no name, no number and no one around. It is very beefy and I'm going to push myself to show it justice. My main Destroyer is a Champ that is slightly understable.

[@jonhjertstrom5083]

You should do an episode with Eagle when he gets back from his injury, that dude is dropping signature discs like crazy

[@cs1991_]

just got my $30 glow rainmaker putter. can't say it was necessarily worth the money, but at least i got one and the glow seems decent.

[@murdoc4794]

Can innova not make two discs come out of the same mold the same?

[@aklevin]

Best DG video series on the internet. Great job, Eric!

[@tnelly6588]

Its never covered enough that if the average rec player (rt hand backhand) threw these, they'd dump left and hyzer to vertical within 150 ft, haha. I know these guys need to sell discs, but there needs to be some acknowledgement that if you don't throw 550+ ft , these discs will not flip up, turn over and glide.

[@MuddyPuttersDG]

Negative. I’ve never sniffed 550 and I have flippy destroyers.

[@tnelly6588]

@@MuddyPuttersDG you must play a lot of long, wooded courses.

[@EugeeFGII]

I throw 360, top out at 400, and I can get a turning full flight out of a Destroyer. Of course since Innova is so comically inconsistent, 4 destroyers from the same run will all fly radically different.

[@lovemesomegstar9682]

Another awesome video!

[@derekboatwright7223]

There's definitely alot of 21's out there, have two 22's but haven't thrown them much. But the 21 is my go to besides the first and second run halos.

It's hilarious watching a batch of brand new Destroyers all flying radically different. Anytime my buddy asks why I throw Trilogy I can just send him this video now. The Destroyer: If you buy six of them, one might fly the way you want it to.

What's the most sought out Heimberg Destroyer???

[@cornhub2445]

The pink one with white rim

[@JacobWarwick]

2020 runs

[@EricCalhoun]

I got a Halo Calvin Destroyer and a Double G Wraith last year, and I'm terrified of those discs. The Calvin Destroyer *might* be throwable in 5 years if use it in the woods to get around corners & treat it as a mid until then. Hearing a lot about Halo Polecats, maybe that's more my speed...

[@cornhub2445]

U dont need massive arm speed to turn these over. If you can consistently throw 300 feet then you can work this disc you just have to have the touch for it

[@toddslininger4629]

Trying to pitch drastic inconsistencies from unit to unit and run to run as a feature and not a bug...I don't know about that.

[@slighthyzerpro7074]

Eric, after watching you and Calvin throw backhand, I noticed you don’t use your off arm (left) at all. You still crush, but I think you have at least another 50-75 feet of potential. JMO, but you are the pro and I’m just a Joe… Love the content, Take care.

[@klumze9911]

That disc is about 5 speeds too fast for me.

[@Stickmayne]

Too beefy for Eric? Um... Yeah this is not a disc for mortals.

[@mindlander]

@@JarrettNeSmithDG like Calvin said, those he was throwing with Eric are the MOST overstable. Not just because they're halo.

[@brian6speed]

everyone needs a beefy driver even a noodle arm. Can use it for skip shots, forehands, flex shots, or when there is a 30 mph headwind.

[@mindlander]

@@brian6speed true. Probably a firebird or raptor for the wind and a nuke for flare skips. Unless you throw 500'+. Only real plus I see is halo plastic lasts FOREVER.

@@mindlander Nah. I'm only in the 370-400 range, and I love my 2021 Calvin Halo Destroyer. It's my farthest flying super dependable headwind fighter to perfectly compliment my regular Star Destroyers.

69th like...nice!

[@bubbawatson1852]

Oakley, maybe I'm wrong, I've been wrong a million times. But if I put your footwork, overlaying other long flyers footwork. I feel your losing 40ft, your start down the runway, is at a way faster pace, than your liftoff footwork. Looks like you slow down to much, you can't really change that, unless you rotate different, and that would force you to make to many changes. I'd like to see you just, slow down your opening steps, gradually speeding up to point of release. Tell lurch, put a 8ft board, longways, leaning against basket, right at top of catcher, his putts hit low instead of high way over ratio, means your a tad gun-shy, work on it, keep hitting that board, you'll get them up, tell uli, get his putters nose up, hes got nose down, and stands to stiff, no legs, Putting is all legs, Tell Calvin, putt over a car allday one day, allday, from 40 and 50. And he will win 3 in a row. Big ones.
