The Savant is a stable to slightly overstable fairway driver rated 9/5/-1/2, flying with a hint of high-speed turn and a dependable fade to the left at the end (for a right-handed backhand). It is a controllable, accurate fairway driver that bridges control and distance. Innova describes it as similar to the Thunderbird but with extra glide and less fade, and positions it for Eagle throwers who want more speed, power and distance, or for Wraith throwers looking for a similar shape at lower power. That makes it a versatile fairway-to-control driver, accurate under control with enough glide to reach. It is a beadless driver. Players wanting a pure straight fairway disc or a max-distance driver have more specialized options, but the Savant covers a lot of ground. Approved in 2014, the Savant slots into Innova's deep fairway and control-driver lineup as a glidey, stable-to-overstable option. Star is the signature run and holds the stable flight; Champion holds the overstable end longest.

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.
