The Innova DX Polecat is a dead straight putt and approach disc with one of the deepest beadless rims Innova makes, built in the brand's base line DX plastic. It is the putter that will feel most familiar if you grew up throwing ultimate or backyard frisbee.

Flight Numbers: 1 / 3 / 0 / 0

DX plastic here is soft and a little chalky feeling fresh out of the bag, with enough grip to hold a spin putt in most weather. It does not have the durability of premium blends, so a heavily used Polecat can pick up a slight warp over time, though that rarely changes how it plays.

Speed 1 and zero fade means this disc holds whatever line you put it on, hyzer, anhyzer, or dead flat, without fighting back. New players use that predictability to learn what a clean release actually looks like, since the Polecat will not mask a bad angle the way a more overstable putter can. The deep, near vertical rim takes some getting used to for a power grip, and forehand throwers with smaller hands may find it awkward, but for straight approach shots and layups it is about as point and shoot as putters get.

Coming from a frisbee background? This mold is built for that transition. Want the same straight flight in a beefier, longer lasting plastic? The Halo Polecat is the one to grab. Prefer a slicker premium feel instead? Try the Star Polecat. Browse the rest of the stable putters.
