by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-XT-WHA (REF1316-19)
Description
The Innova XT Whale putter is Innova's best combination short drive and putting disc, molded in XT plastic. It's built for players who want a straight, easy-to-control flight, and it's at its best on short drives, upshots, and putts. If you're shopping for a dependable Whale for your bag, this XT run is a great place to start.
XT Plastic
XT is a tough blend originally developed for the Nova and Atlas overmolds, and it worked so well it spread to other models. Grip is off the charts and durability is almost as good as Innova's premium plastics. XT is firmer than R-Pro and less firm than KC Pro, with a unique grip that inspires confidence. It's firm, durable, and a great value.
The Mold
The Whale is the best combination short drive, accuracy, upshot, and putting disc that Innova makes.
Stability
The Whale is neutral-to-stable. Neutral discs fly straight and true with very little turn or fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with only a slight drift left as it slows down. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with a gentle drift right at the finish. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's an easy choice for beginners and a reliable tool for experienced players.
