Halo Wraith: Overview & Specs

The Halo Wraith is a distance driver in Innova’s lineup.
Its official flight ratings are Speed 11 | Glide 5 | Turn –1 | Fade 3
In terms of dimensions:
• Diameter: ~21.1 cm
• Rim width: ~2.1 cm
• It’s available in weights in the 173g – 176g range in this listing.
Halo Star is a decorative blend of Star plastic that features a “halo” effect — the rim is often a different color or has a halo / swirl design compared to the center plate.

Flight Behavior & Characteristics

Stability & control: The Wraith is considered stable to slightly overstable, able to hold up in wind and not flip over easily.
Versatility of shot shapes: Because of its balance of speed and control, advanced throwers can coax different lines — for example, hyzer-flips, gentle turnovers, or straight shots that fade predictably.
Wind performance: The Wraith handles headwinds fairly well for its class. As Innova puts it: “a stable flyer that performs predictably into the wind.”
Glide: It has good glide (rating 5), meaning it holds its height and carries a bit, which helps with distance when thrown cleanly.
Fade: The fade (3) gives it a reliable hook at the end of its flight, which helps it finish strong rather than drifting far past the landing zone.
Turn: The slight negative turn (–1) means that with enough power / angle, it can make a gentle rightward motion (for a right-hand backhand thrower) before fading back. That gives some shot-shaping flexibility.

Comparisons & Use Cases

Among Innova’s distance drivers, the Wraith sits in a “balanced control + speed” niche. It’s not as overstable as some heavy drivers, and not as turny as more understable “distance - flip” discs. It’s a good go-to for long drives where you still want predictability.
For those who like to carry a stable driver that you can rely on even in tougher wind, the Wraith is a great option.
Because of its control, it’s less “bomb and hope” and more “controlled power” when placed in the right hands.
It works well in open field drives but also in tighter fairways when you can finesse your angle and power.
As it wears in over time (like most discs), its flight might mellow slightly, giving a bit more turn or softer fade depending on usage and plastic type.

What Makes the Halo Star Version Special

Aesthetic appeal: The Halo Star plastic gives the disc an eye-catching look with rim / halo color contrasts or swirls. For collectors or aesthetic-conscious players, that visual appeal adds value.
Durability: Being a Star-blend base (with halo coloring), it tends to be more durable than lower-grade plastics, so it holds up better against wear and tear.
Desirability: Halo / special-edition plastics often attract more attention from disc collectors or players who want something unique in their bag.

What Is an “Innova Factory Second” (F2)?

Definition & Reasoning

A Factory Second (often abbreviated as F2 or “X-Out”) is a disc that did not meet Innova’s cosmetic standards during manufacturing, but is still fully functional.

The types of cosmetic imperfections that cause a disc to be classified as a Factory Second include:

Small air bubbles, particularly in the rim or flight plate
Specks, foreign particles, or discoloration in the plastic
Minor bumps, dimples, or uneven mold “flashing” that was not fully trimmed
Imperfect or double / misaligned stamps (hot stamp misprints)
Slight inconsistencies on the rim or rim/dome interface (for example, very mild warping)

Importantly: these flaws are cosmetic, not structural. The core shape, dimensions, and plastic integrity of the disc remain the same as a “first-run” version.

Flight Performance & Durability

One of the biggest selling points of Factory Seconds is that they typically fly exactly like the non-blemished versions. The defects are in appearance only and do not meaningfully alter:

Aerodynamics or trim
Stability or fade characteristics
Plastic strength or durability

In other words: a Halo Wraith F2 should still perform like a standard Halo Wraith — with the same speed, glide, turn, and fade — assuming the defect is only cosmetic.

That said, in rare cases, if a defect is more extreme (a bulge, deep dent, or serious warping), it could slightly affect flight. Many sellers and community sources note that most factory seconds are essentially indistinguishable in flight unless you look very closely.

Legality & Use in Tournaments

Yes — Factory Seconds are PDGA-legal, just like any other Innova disc. Because the flaws are only cosmetic, they do not disqualify the disc from tournament play.

Many players use F2 discs in tournaments, practice rounds, or as backups — especially when the price is lower but the performance is still solid.

Benefits & Considerations

Benefits:

Benefit	Explanation
Lower cost	You pay less because the disc didn’t pass visual inspection, not because it’s functionally inferior
Same performance	You get nearly the same flight experience as with a perfect disc
Great for backups / practice	Less risk if you lose or damage it during a round
Collectible / interesting stamps	Sometimes F2 discs show unusual stamps or color combinations, creating novelty appeal
