The Nova is a straight-flying, neutral putt-and-approach disc rated 2/3/0/0, built with overmold technology: a firm inner flight plate fused to a soft, grippy rim. It flies straight with essentially no turn or fade, going where you aim it, which makes it a dependable putter and approach disc. The two-material design is the point: the soft rim absorbs impact and helps it stick the landing rather than skip away, while the firm flight plate lets you throw it with power for drives and long approaches. That combination gives it a distinctive feel, firm in the plate but cushioned on the rim. Because it is so neutral, it holds any release angle, though its low speed makes it a short-game and putting tool rather than a distance disc. Approved in 2013, the Nova is one of Innova's overmold putters, sharing that two-piece construction concept. The firm plate and soft rim define the feel for putting and approaches.

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.
