Hammer | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Hammer" by Innova is an overstable putter with a speed of 2, standing out distinctly from classic putting discs. Part of the lineup since 1987, it fills niches where controlled, short throws with reliable fade are needed. Typical uses include approach shots from short distances, where the disc pulls reliably to the left despite low speed without uncontrolled drift. Its overstability also gives it an edge for utility throws under branches or in crosswinds. With a speed of 2 and glide of 2, the disc generates minimal lift and drops quickly. A turn of -1 creates slight right movement in the initial phase of backhand throws with a flat release before the fade of 2 sharply corrects the flight path left. This combination produces a short, controlled flight without extended float. The overstability remains even on harder throws, preventing uncontrolled turns. For approach shots in the 30 to 50-meter range, the Hammer shines: Flat hyzer throws land reliably with a left finish, while slightly anhyzered lines offer extra wind resistance. Forehand throws benefit from the stability at short distances when precise fade is required. This disc is aimed at players seeking a purposefully overstable putter for technical situations who can sacrifice long glide phases. Beginners should note that with insufficient arm speed, the disc will tip left early.
