The Innova Racer is a 12-speed distance driver rated 12/6/-1/2. Six glide is the number that stands out — a point above most of the class — and with one turn and two fade it draws a long, shallow S that carries rather than hooks. The rim is beaded, which is unusual on an Innova driver and gives a locked-in release.
That makes it a distance disc for players who want carry without a hard finish: flip-ups, hyzer-flips that ride, and open-fairway drives where a Destroyer would fade early. Next to the Wraith (11/5/-1/3) it is a step faster and noticeably softer at the end. What it will not do is hold in wind — six glide and one turn is the combination that lifts — and a big arm on a flat release will turn it over further than the number suggests.
How much the Racer turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Racer was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
