Disc Battle of the Day: Innova Colt vs Innova Bullfrog
Two speed-3 putter/approach molds from Innova, the Colt and Bullfrog take very different paths to control. One leans on glide and gentle turn; the other relies on low glide and point-and-shoot stability. Here’s how to choose the right tool for your scoring zone.

Innova Colt
- Pros
- Glide 4 with -1 turn makes it easy to shape gentle hyzer-flips and straight floaters that carry without much power.
- Minimal fade (1) produces laser-straight putts and approach lines that land flat instead of dumping late.
- Versatile speed 3 slot can bridge putting, circle-2 bids, and touchy woods approaches with the same release feel.
- Cons
- Extra glide can sail long on downhill or tailwind lines if you don’t throttle down.
- Slight high‑speed turn (-1) can drift right for power throwers or on forehands if over-torqued.
Innova Bullfrog
- Pros
- Low glide (1) plus 0/1 stability gives a blunt, point-and-shoot flight that sits down quickly—perfect for upshots.
- Neutral high-speed turn (0) resists flipping in moderate wind and handles firm, confident putts.
- Predictable finish (fade 1) keeps lines honest without big skips or dumpy fades.
- Cons
- Glide 1 requires intentional power; floaty bids and long carries are harder to achieve.
- Not ideal for shaping turnovers—expects a straight, committed release to hit the line.
Head-to-Head
- Straight-with-carry: Choose the Colt for touch lines that must float and push forward; pick the Bullfrog when you want the disc to sit.
- Wind: Colt excels in calm to light winds; Bullfrog’s 0 turn and low glide control nose angles better in breezier conditions.
- Forehand approaches: Bullfrog’s neutral stability tolerates firm forehand touch; Colt works if you need a gentle, stand‑up flick.
- Woods golf: Colt shapes hyzer‑flip gaps and soft turnovers; Bullfrog carves straight, no‑drift tunnels that end on a dime.
- Player power: Slower arms benefit from the Colt’s easy glide; higher power or spin putters may prefer the Bullfrog’s no‑nonsense, torque‑friendly flight.
Verdict
If you want glide-assisted straightness that can also work into gentle turnovers, the Innova Colt is the crafty scorer—great for newer players building touch and for veterans who love hyzer‑flip control. If you value line integrity, wind resistance at putter speeds, and approaches that check up near the pin, the Innova Bullfrog is the reliable workhorse. Many bags can justify both: Colt for carry and shaping, Bullfrog for point-and-shoot landings and windy days.
