Innova
SKU: DG-INV-ST-Ani (REF880 *AST**6)
Description
The Innova Star Animal putter is a short-range, stable approach disc, molded in Star plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on forehand and backhand approaches. If you're shopping for a dependable Animal for your bag, this Star run is a great place to start.
Star Plastic
Star is created with a special blend of grippy, resilient polymers. It offers the outstanding durability of Champion plastic with improved grip like Pro plastic, and it flies like Champion while being slightly less firm. It provides predictable performance, long-lasting durability even on wooded or rugged courses, good all-weather grip, and it retains its flight longer than DX or Pro plastics.
The Mold
The Animal is a short-range, stable approach disc that works for both forehand and backhand upshots, giving you a reliable finish near the basket.
Stability
The Animal is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 2 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 1 | Very little glide, so it drops and stops near its target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

FAQ
Is the Innova Animal good for beginners?
Yes. The Animal's predictable flight makes it easy to trust as you learn.

With an average arm, expect roughly 225 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
