Whale

The Whale is a big, meaty putt-and-approach disc rated 2/3/0/1, a beaded putter designed to fly consistently no matter how hard you throw it, with a straight flight and just a touch of late fade to the left (for a right-handed backhand). Innova describes it as a disc that flies like a driver and lands like a putter.

Its stability and superior torque resistance are what set it apart: it takes power without flipping, which makes it easier to throw on a forehand (sidearm) than most putters and dependable for long, firm approaches and driving putts. The substantial, beaded feel fills the hand. It is a stable, beaded putter rather than a soft, neutral lag-putt disc, so touch putters may prefer a deeper, softer model.

Approved in 2014, the Whale is part of Innova's Aviar-family putter lineup as a beefier, more stable option.

Firmer runs hold the stable flight for driving and approaches; the meaty profile is the defining feel.
