The JK Aviar is a soft, grippy version of Innova's classic big-bead Aviar putter, rated 2/3/0/2, a stable approach and putting disc that flies straight with a dependable fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). It carries the same flight as the firm KC Aviar but in a more flexible, tackier plastic. Named for five-time world champion Juliana Korver, the JK Aviar is made from the same big-bead Aviar mold as the KC in a special Pro-line blend that is softer and grippier than other Aviar models. That soft, tacky feel is the appeal: it is better in colder climates and for players with dry hands who want extra grip, while flying with the same reliable, overstable-leaning Aviar finish. It is a beaded putter. Players who prefer a stiff, firm disc will want the KC Aviar instead. The JK Aviar is a long-standing member of the Aviar family, sharing the classic big-bead mold with the KC version. Its defining trait is the soft, grippy Pro-line plastic, prized for cold-weather grip and a tacky hold.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
