Innova Aviar
The Innova Aviar is a overstable putt & approach (2/3/0/1) - good for intermediate players.
Our take on the Aviar
If you only own one putter, make it the Aviar. With a speed of 2, glide of 3, turn of 0 and fade of 1, this is about as honest as a disc gets. Thrown flat it holds a straight line with just a soft, predictable fade at the end - no surprise dumps left, no hyzer flip drama. That stable, beadless feel is exactly why the Aviar has been the most trusted putter in the sport for decades and why so many newer discs get measured against it.
The 21.2 cm diameter and slim 1.1 cm rim sit comfortably in nearly any hand, which is part of why the recommended skill level here is genuinely everyone. New players get a forgiving, low-fade disc for learning their putting stroke, while veterans lean on that touch for delicate approaches and lay-ups.
Plastic choice matters: grippy DX wears in fast for putting and gets more understable, while Champion holds its flight far longer for windy approaches. At 11.99 to 21.99 dollars, it is an easy buy.
