Collection: Innova Aviar

Unlocking the Flight of the Innova Aviar Family

The Innova Aviar is one of the longest-running and most widely recognized putter models in the sport of disc golf. While the entire family shares a reputation for a straight, predictable flight path at low speeds, the lineup has evolved into several distinct structural mold variations. The standard beadless Aviar Putt & Approach offers a completely smooth bottom edge for a neutral, point-and-shoot release. Meanwhile, specialized big-bead variations utilize a structural lip along the bottom rim for increased high-speed torque resistance, and modern "3-Series" variants flatten the profile entirely to create low-profile driving putters.

Ergonomics: Beaded, Beadless, and Low-Profile Hand Feel

Because putting and approach preferences vary heavily by player, the Aviar is produced in multiple physical configurations to accommodate different hand sizes and release styles. Traditional Aviars feature a deep-dish profile that allows for maximum fan-grip surface contact. Conversely, modern driving iterations reduce the rim depth significantly, providing a flat-top, aerodynamic edge. This architectural variety ensures that whether you utilize a standard push putt, a high-spin stroke, or a high-velocity forehand sidearm snap off the tee, there is an Aviar configuration built for your grip.

Understanding the Signature Aviar Variations

• The Classic P&A (Putt & Approach): The traditional beadless, deep-dish blueprint (2 | 3 | 0 | 1). It is engineered for a neutral, straight line inside the circle and smooth, floating approach shots.
• KC Pro Aviar (Ken Climo): Built on the Big Bead driver mold using an extra-stiff, firm Pro plastic blend (2 | 3 | 0 | 2). It is favored by players who prefer a rigid hand feel and enhanced wind resistance.
• JK Pro Aviar-X (Juliana Korver): Uses the exact same overstable Big Bead mold as the KC Pro, but is injected with a specialized soft, rubbery plastic blend (2 | 3 | 0 | 2). This creates a flexible texture that excels in cold weather and minimizes rollaways.
• Yeti Pro Aviar (Jay Reading): Features a unique, slightly concave "puddle top" flight plate on a Big Bead rim (2 | 3 | 0 | 1). This lowers the overall profile of the disc, offering a straight flight path and a clean release for smaller hands.
• Aviar3: Built for driving off the tee, this mold uses a flat-top design and a low-profile rim (3 | 2 | 0 | 2). It handles high-velocity releases with minimal high-speed turn, making it a reliable point-and-shoot throwing putter.
• AviarX3: The most aggressive and overstable member of the family (3 | 2 | 0 | 3). Featuring an extremely flat profile and a beefy rim texture, it is highly resistant to headwind turnover and serves as a dependable tool for forehand sidearm approaches and scrambling.

Finding Your Perfect Aviar Configuration

Matching the right Aviar to your game requires balancing the physical rim shape with your preferred plastic stiffness. Baseline DX and specialized Pro blends (like KC, JK, and Yeti) maximize chain-grabbing friction and wet-weather surface grip for inside-the-circle putting. For heavy driving duties off the tee with the Aviar3 or AviarX3, premium opaque Star or translucent Champion configurations provide heavy structural durability, protecting your throwing discs from losing their stability after rough tree impacts.
