Innova Rat Disc Review

The Innova Rat is a point-and-shoot overstable approach disc that thrives on control. With modest speed and very low glide, it holds up to forehand and backhand power without drifting, then finishes on time. If you want torque resistance, predictable landings, and confidence in the wind, the Rat delivers.

It neatly fills the “OS approach” slot between putters and mids, making touchy upshots and gap-hitting drives from 150–260 feet feel simple and repeatable.

Quick Flight Numbers

Translation: a controlled push with minimal rise and a consistent, dependable finish.

Why Throw It

• Distance control made easy: Glide 2 keeps it from sailing long, helping you park approaches inside the circle.
• Torque and wind resistance: Turn 0 holds firm on power and into headwinds without unwanted turn.
• Predictable finish: Fade 2 provides a gentle, reliable hook that checks up instead of dumping hard.
• Versatile approach speed: Speed 4 carries cleanly to 200–260 feet without demanding a full rip.
• Forehand-friendly stability: Releases on angle, resists wobble, and finishes on time for confident sidearm touch shots.

Who It Fits

• Beginners: Trustworthy into wind with a soft, consistent fade; expect control over raw distance due to low glide.
• Intermediate: Money for 180–260 ft forehand/backhand approaches where you need shape, hold, then sit.
• Advanced: Point-and-shoot in the woods, powered forehands, and short flexes that reliably pan out.

Shot Ideas

• Straight-to-fade approach: Flat at 70–85% power; Turn 0 tracks straight, Fade 2 finishes late and soft (RHBH).
• Soft hyzer landings: Gentle hyzer release; Glide 2 limits lift so it drops near the pin with minimal ground play.
• Forehand standstill: Use compact mechanics; Speed 4 gives carry while Turn 0 resists roll-over in tight gaps.
• Short flex line: Start on slight anhyzer; it fights out smoothly for a controlled S-curve around obstacles.
• Headwind control: Keep it low and flat; the low-glide profile won’t balloon, and the fade keeps it finishing reliably.
