Animal
The "Animal" by Innova is designed for players seeking an overstable putter with minimal glide for controlled approach shots and short putts. Its pronounced thumb groove provides a distinctive grip that divides opinions—some players appreciate the ergonomic feel, while others find the design unconventional. Positioned as an answer to utility putters like the Berg, this disc excels in situations where precision outweighs distance. With flight ratings of 2|1|0|1, it offers minimal float and quick ground contact, making it ideal for windy conditions or tight lines around obstacles. In flight, the "Animal" delivers predictable, stable behavior with negligible turn. Its low glide ensures controlled landings on short distances, while moderate fade guarantees reliable finishes. Particularly on slow throws, its trajectory remains steady and consistent, setting it apart from classic Aviar models. The disc resists crosswinds and maintains its line even at reduced throwing speeds, making it a solid choice for approach shots between 15 and 40 meters where a quick settle is desired. Intermediate players will find the "Animal" a dependable approach putter that shines where other putters offer too much glide. Beginners benefit from its predictability on short putts but should test the unconventional thumb groove before committing it to their bag. Advanced throwers use it strategically for utility tasks, such as headwind approaches or low skip shots under branches. Plastic options like Star and KC Pro provide varying grips, with XT offering a velvety feel reminiscent of KC Pro.
