The Stud is a stable putt-and-approach disc rated 3/3/0/2, essentially a more stable sibling of the Colt: it flies straight and finishes with a dependable fade to the left (for a right-handed backhand). Innova calls it the studly brother of the Colt, with added stability. That extra stability is the appeal: it handles wind better than the Colt and holds its flight characteristics for longer before beating in, which makes it a dependable disc for driving, approaching or putting in windy or calm conditions alike. It is a beaded approach disc with a secure grip. Its stable, fading flight favors dependable lines over big turnovers, so it suits players who want a putter that finishes predictably. Approved in 2016, the Stud is the more overstable companion to Innova's Colt in the approach-putter range. Champion and Star runs hold the stable finish longest and are the durable picks for 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.
