Rat

Innova Rat Flight Chart

The Innova Rat has flight numbers of 4 | 2 | 0 | 3. This flat-topped, low-glide midrange is designed as a torque-resistant approach disc with a reliably overstable flight path. It’s especially popular for controlled forehand and backhand upshots where you need the disc to hold the line, fight wind, and finish with a firm, predictable fade.

Rat Flight Path for Beginners

For newer players, the Rat will feel like a very overstable approach disc. With lower arm speed, it tends to fly short and straight out of the hand before dumping left (for a RHBH throw) with a strong fade. It’s not a distance option for beginners, but it can be useful as a “get out of trouble” disc or when you need a guaranteed hard finish around obstacles.

Flight Chart for Intermediate Players

Intermediate players will see the Rat’s intended flight path: a flat, torque-resistant mid that stays on a straight line for most of its flight before finishing with consistent fade. With its low glide and strong stability, it shines on approach shots in the 150–250 foot range, especially on windy days or when you want to trust the disc not to flip over.

Flight Numbers for Advanced and Pro Players

Advanced and pro players can lean on the Rat as a workhorse overstable midrange and approach disc. Thrown hard and flat, it resists turn, pushes forward with limited glide, then ends with a sharp, controlled fade. It’s ideal for forced hyzers, flex lines that must pan out reliably, and tight landing zones where long glide would be a liability rather than an asset.

Forehand Flight Path and Utility

The Rat was built with forehand throwers in mind. Its shallow, beadless rim and flat top feel natural on a sidearm grip, and the overstable flight numbers mean it can handle off-axis torque and faster forehand releases. Expect a straight-to-hyzer forehand flight path that holds its angle and checks up reliably near the basket, even in headwinds.

Use our interactive Flight Chart below to explore how the Innova Rat’s flight path and flight numbers change with different throwing speeds and styles. Adjust for backhand or forehand, right- or left-handed play, and see how the stability and fade show up in your own game.

Puttheads Notes

Data and reviews point to the Rat as a flat, torque-resistant midrange that excels at controlled approaches rather than pure distance. It fills the slot between an overstable putter and a true mid, with a flight path that stays honest under power and in the wind.
