The Pig is a very overstable putt-and-approach disc, a low-glide, hard-fading mold rated 4/1/0/3 built to hold whatever angle you give it and finish left (for a right-handed backhand) regardless of the wind. It is a specialist, a utility approach and short-game tool rather than a straight-flying putter for the basket. That combination of low glide and strong fade is exactly what makes it dependable for hyzer approaches, forehand (sidearm) shots, and spike hyzers that land and stick. It fights wind about as well as anything in the bag. Innova builds it with a grippy rim (branded the Thumtrac) aimed at secure forehand and putting grips. Because glide is so low, it is not a distance disc and it takes real effort to make it fly far, which is the whole point. Approved in 2008, the Pig has a devoted following as a bad-weather and forehand-approach utility disc. It comes in a wide range of grippy plastics from soft R-Pro to durable XT and KC Pro Glow; softer runs are popular for touch approaches, firmer ones for forehand drivers who want the overstability to last.

The Innova Pig is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

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.
