Whale | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Whale" is a stable putter with pronounced glide, making it suitable for both putting and controlled approach shots. Its unique height and pronounced inner rim bead provide a distinctive grip that delivers extra stability on powerful throws. This model sits between classic straight putters and overstable utility discs—comparable to the Discmania P2 but with noticeably more height in its profile. Available in soft plastics like XT and DX, it offers versatile performance for different throwing styles and conditions. In flight, the "Whale" (Speed 2, Glide 3) delivers a surprisingly long glide phase before its 0 Turn and 1 Fade ensure a controlled, slightly left-finishing fade. Its overstable nature allows for powerful throws without uncontrolled drift, while the glide enables approach distances up to 75 meters. On forehand shots, the disc performs reliably, resisting flipping even at higher arm speeds. Different plastics noticeably affect flight characteristics: XT versions offer more grip and a touch of extra glide, while Champion variants have a flatter profile and prefer straighter lines. For beginners, the "Whale" provides a dependable introduction to putting and short approaches thanks to its stability and forgiveness. Advanced players value it for precise hyzer approaches and as a wind-resistant driving putter in the 60–75 meter range. The disc’s pronounced height and bead polarize hand feel—but those who favor this combination will find the "Whale" an exceptionally versatile putter for nearly all situations around the basket.
