The Innova Garrett Gurthie Halo Star Sonic is a Tour Series stamped version of the most fade resistant putter Innova makes, and Halo Star plastic gives it a beefier feel than the base line runs. Garrett Gurthie's stamp sits on a mold that flies almost nothing like a typical putt and approach disc.

Flight Numbers: 1 / 2 / -4 / 0

Halo Star is a durable, slightly grippier take on Star plastic, and it holds up well to the tree hits and pavement skips that come with an understable disc getting thrown a lot. The Sonic's grooved thumb track rim feels closer to an ultimate disc than a normal putter, which is exactly why players coming from ultimate or backyard frisbee pick it up fastest.

This disc refuses to fade. Thrown flat it holds dead straight and lands with no ground play, which makes it a strong short approach disc when you need the putt to stop where it lands instead of skipping past the basket. On anhyzer it holds the line the whole way, and it makes a useful utility disc for getting out of trouble under trees. Big arms need to hyzer flip it on longer throws or it will turn over hard; slower arms and beginners get a floaty, forgiving putter that will not punish a bad angle.

Want more stability for full power drives instead? The Halo Polecat holds a straight line rather than turning over. Looking for the same understable Sonic shape in another plastic? The Galactic XT Sonic (Reaper Edition) beats in softer. Browse the rest of the understable putters.
