The Xero is a straight-flying putt-and-approach disc rated 2/3/0/0, built with more range and torque resistance than most straight putters and, crucially, extreme low-speed stability so it will not fade hard at the end. It flies where you aim it on a straight line and holds that line all the way in. That resistance to fading is its defining trait: Innova notes you can even throw it on a slight hyzer and it will stay straight rather than hooking left, which makes it a confident, low-stress approach and putting disc. The added torque resistance also helps on firmer throws and forehands. It is a beaded putter. It is a straight-line specialist rather than an overstable wind disc or a big turnover disc. Approved in 2021, the Xero is a modern straight-putt and approach option in Innova's deep putter lineup. It comes in grippy putter plastics suited to straight approaches and dependable putting.

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.
