Turning lines with a flexible, grippy feel
The Innova GStar Sidewinder pairs the Sidewinder's understable flight with a softer, more flexible alternative to Star plastic. Rated 9 / 5 / -3 / 1, this speed-9 driver offers plenty of glide, high-speed turn, and a light finishing fade for players exploring turnover drives and rollers.
Why choose this version?
- You prefer flexibility over a firm feel. GStar adds grip and flexibility to Innova's Star blend while retaining Star-level durability.
- You play through colder weather. GStar's flexible feel and grip make it a useful choice when firmer plastics feel less comfortable.
- You want a turning driver line. The Sidewinder offers turnover and roller potential rather than the hard finish of an overstable driver.
When the fairway bends right on a right-handed backhand shot, try working a turnover instead of forcing a forehand. Start with a smooth release and give the Sidewinder room to show how it responds to your power. Lower-power players may find its understable design useful; stronger throwers can explore longer turning lines and rollers. Neither result is automatic, and speed-9 drivers still need sufficient throwing speed.
GStar plastic
This durable Star-based blend has an opaque, pearlescent appearance and added flexibility. Choose it for its feel in the hand, not an assumption that every Sidewinder plastic will fly identically.
