I recently picked up two of these in GStar plastic, (which I prefer over Champion plastic) and I must say I am very impressed. The first 14 speed driver by Innova may be intimidating to some players, but it's actually very user friendly. I don't have much of an arm, so I am by no means a power player. But I do throw sidearm and I prefer higher speed drivers for sidearm because you can put more snap on the disc sidearm than you can back hand. (When I throw back hand I throw much slower discs, such as the Teebird, Leopard or Cheetah.)I am so far in love with this disc, it is very forgiving and can take as much torque as your shoulders can muster without turning into a "pizza cutter". So far I haven't broken any distance records. To be honest I have found that distance wise I'm throwing about the same as I do with slower discs, but on my local course there aren't really any open drive fairways. You can only throw so far before you ht a tree here. I have yet to take it out to a soccer field to test it wide open. What I do like about it is the confidence of the disc. It is very solid and the rim feels really good in the hand. Its a disc just begging to be slung as hard as you can and is forgiving enough to compensate for errors of form. I have overthrown the hole off the tee and a number of holes, so that really speaks to the power of this disc.I usually throw Bosses and Destroyers, but I have over the winter discovered the Sidewinder and Teebird, all very good discs that will definitely get you there. But when it comes to discs, I feel more confident throwing big rim drivers like the Boss, so the Colossus, while admittedly a bit excessive, will definitely be my go to driver from now on.
