Sonic | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Sonic" breaks all conventions of classic putters, deliberately drawing inspiration from traditional frisbee designs. With its flat profile and wide rim, it excels in short, controlled throws and upshots where precise landing is crucial. This disc finds its place in the bags of players seeking an alternative to conventional putters and valuing an unconventional grip feel. Pros like Ken Climo and Brian Schweberger strategically use it in specific situations where its unique characteristics provide an advantage. With a speed of 1, glide of 2, turn of -4, and fade of 0, the "Sonic" exhibits an extremely understable flight with minimal fade at the end. It glides smoothly through the air and lands where it touches down—without rolling or pulling away. Its flight path remains flat and controllable, making it ideal for anhyzer shots and hyzer flips in tight spaces. In Star plastic, it performs more stable than in DX, while Halo Star offers added durability. The DX version provides maximum grip but is prone to cracking on harder landings. Galactic XT strikes a balance between DX and Star, combining grip with increased resilience. For beginners, the "Sonic" is accessible due to its beginner-friendly nature and low power requirement, though adjusting to its unconventional hand feel takes time. Advanced players use it strategically for approach shots and situations where other putters exhibit too much fade. The fan grip works exceptionally well for upshots, though it’s less suited for putting. Those who adapt to its unique ergonomics gain a versatile tool for precise short-game throws—while those who don’t may prefer the comfort of classic putters.
