INNOVA Calvin Heimburg Star Toro Mid-Range Disc – 170-172g

Overview

Co-developed by Innova disc designer Dave Dunipace and Star Team member Calvin Heimburg, the Toro is a small-diameter, beadless, overstable mid-range from Star Plastic. It fills a gap in the Innova lineup with a focus on control and reliability across a variety of shots.

Designed for forehand approaches and tight lines, the Toro sits at the more overstable end of its speed class. It can be thrown flat at full power with minimal risk of flipping, and its intentionally low glide helps the disc check up on greens where faster discs might skip away.

With a flat-top and a low-profile rim, the Toro shares a similarity with the Rat, yet it delivers more overstability for precise finishes. Colors will vary, a reminder that Star Plastic's look can change from run to run.

• Flight Ratings: Speed 4, Glide 2, Turn 1, Fade 3

The Toro's performance profile prioritizes stability and reliability over maximum glide. It offers a predictable finish on a variety of lines, which can help players maintain control through crowded fairways and on approach shots. Because of its slower speed, it tends to check up sooner, which can be beneficial on greens where faster discs might skip or roll away.

When to reach for the Toro

• Forehand approach shots that need stability and a predictable end to the flight
• Short-distance S-curves where a controlled turn and fade are desirable
• Slow-panning anhyzers that require a gentle turn and reliable finish
• Utility shots and upshots near greens where staying in bounds matters
• Shots where a disc with minimal glide helps keep lines from drifting

In play, the Toro is a versatile tool for players seeking a stable, low-glide middle. It works well as a control option when wind is a factor or when a short, accurate flight path is needed. While not a guarantee of particular results, many players find that this disc provides useful options for shaping lines and ending flights where intended.

Throwing notes

• Grip with stable pressure and release flat for a predictable flight path
• Keep power moderate to maximize control over lines
• In wind, rely on the disc's overstability to maintain angles
