Innova Animal

Innova Animal – Short-Range, Stable Approach Disc with Thumtrac® Grip

The Innova Animal is a short-range putt and approach disc built for ultimate control and reliability. With flight ratings of 2 | 1 | 0 | 1, the Animal is designed to handle both backhand and forehand power in tight spaces without flipping or gliding too far. It offers a true point-and-shoot option for those looking to land softly near the basket.

What sets the Animal apart is its signature Thumtrac® Rim—a patented groove molded into the top of the disc that gives players a unique grip point for added control and consistency. Whether you’re executing a touchy forehand flick or a confident backhand approach into a headwind, the Animal holds its line with minimal effort and dependable fade.

Molded exclusively in Star plastic, the Animal combines durability and grip, making it suitable for daily use and consistent performance. The low glide helps reduce blow-bys, especially on short holes or tricky upshots, while the neutral turn and slight fade keep it tracking on target. It’s also a surprisingly solid option for windy putts inside the circle.
