Unlocking the Flight of the Innova Sync
If you have ever felt like traditional putters are just a bit too deep or tend to float uncontrollably past your target, the Innova Sync was designed to fix that. Featuring reliable flight numbers of 3 | 3 | 0 | 1, it is a remarkably straight, point-and-shoot disc that behaves predictably regardless of how much power you give it. When you throw it flat, it pops out of your hand quickly, holds a laser-straight line, and drops down with a very gentle, soft finish. This controlled speed and minimal side-to-side movement make it an excellent choice for navigating tight wooden gaps or landing touchy approach shots right under the basket.
Comfortable, Low-Profile Ergonomics
What really sets the Sync apart is how it feels in the hand. It stands out as Innova’s shallowest putter design, combining a flat top with a completely smooth, beadless bottom edge. This low-profile shape is incredibly comfortable, especially if you have smaller hands or simply dislike the bulky grip of deep-dish putters. Because the rim is so sleek, it gives you a much cleaner release and reduces the chances of the disc catching on your fingers. Whether you are leaning into a full power grip off the tee pad or using a relaxed fan grip on the putting green, it offers a highly consistent, smooth release every time.
How to Use the Sync on the Course
- Off the Tee & Long Approaches: The Sync handles torque surprisingly well for a straight putter. It makes a fantastic throwing disc that cleanly holds whatever angle you put it on—giving you dead-straight fairway drives, precise hyzers, and predictable anhyzer lines that land flat.
- Inside the Putting Circle: If you prefer a faster, more direct putting style, the Sync fits the bill perfectly. It cuts through the air quickly toward the chains and holds its line well, making it highly forgiving when you have to battle tricky crosswinds.
Choosing Your Plastic Blend
Finding the right version of the Sync depends on what you want it to do in your bag. Molded in premium Star plastic, the disc gains extra durability and a slightly more stable flight path, making it the perfect choice to withstand tree kicks on long fairway throws. On the other hand, the baseline DX plastic offers maximum chain-grabbing stickiness and great wet-weather grip. Over time, the DX version will season into a beautiful, touch approach disc that easily handles gentle turnover lines.
Innova Sync Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Innova Sync good for forehand players?
A: Yes. Because the Sync is exceptionally shallow and flat-topped, it lacks the awkward, deep rim that causes clean forehand releases to flutter. It feels very comfortable for sidearm approach shots and holds a straight line with minimal fade.
Q: How does the plastic affect the stability of the Sync?
A: The Star plastic run is slightly more stable and handles power shots off the tee pad without drifting. The DX plastic run is a bit more forgiving, showing a touch more turn or drift when thrown hard, but offering superior grip for pure putting duties.
Q: Is this disc beginner-friendly?
A: Absolutely. With a turn rating of 0 and a fade of 1, it doesn't dump hard to the left (for right-handed backhand throws) like overstable discs do. Newer players will find it easy to keep straight and control down the fairway.
Q: Can the Sync replace my mid-range disc?
A: For many shorter fairways, yes. The Sync acts as a hybrid between a putter and a mid-range. Because it comes out of the hand fast and has excellent glide, many players find they can easily throw it 250 to 300 feet, covering a lot of slots typically reserved for slower mid-ranges.
