Innova Animal Disc Review

The Innova Animal is a point-and-shoot putt-and-approach disc built for control. With minimal glide and a gentle finish, it holds the release angle and lands predictably without big skips. Players who want simple, straight upshots and confident forehand/backhand touch approaches will love how easy it is to range.

Why Throw It
- Low Speed 2 and Glide 1 give instant distance control—perfect for layups and approaches that must sit.
- Neutral Turn 0 resists flipping on touch forehands and holds the release angle on straight lines.
- Gentle Fade 1 finishes on line without dumping hard, ideal for tight greens and circle runs.
- Excels in the woods: low glide keeps it from sailing, helping you hit narrow gaps from a standstill.
- Confidence in light wind—reliable stability without being overly beefy or nose-angle sensitive.
Who It Fits
- Beginners: Easy to aim and won’t glide long; great for learning controlled approaches.
- Intermediate: A trusty upshot workhorse for straight, hyzer, and soft forehand flicks.
- Advanced: Torque-friendly putter for powered standstills, tight-window approaches, and confident bid-and-sit runs.
Shot Ideas
- Flat, point-and-shoot upshot: the 0 turn tracks straight, the 1 fade nudges you to center.
- Soft hyzer check-up: release on slight hyzer to land flat and minimize ground play with the low Glide 1.
- Touch forehand: Speed 2 + Turn 0 handles light torque without wobble for clean, straight flicks.
- Standstill tunnel hit: minimal glide helps you keep the disc on a rope through tight fairways.
- Wind-aware layup: in a headwind, throw a tick lower and flatter—the stable numbers keep it honest.
