Meet the Innova Rat
The Innova Rat is a flat-topped, torque-resistant midrange designed for players who demand control and consistency, especially in forehand-dominant approaches.

Who Should Throw a Rat?
- Excellent for forehand-dominant players seeking a midrange that resists torque
- Perfect for headwind approaches or tight lines requiring minimal glide
- Great for touch hyzers, flex shots, and controlled skips
- Ideal on wooded courses where precise, overstable lines are key

The flat top and beadless rim make it feel almost like a putter, but with the stability and distance of a true midrange. Whether you're forehanding into a tricky green or punching out of a bad lie, the Rat doesn’t surprise—it just performs.

How Does the Rat Fly?
The Rat flies like a laser beam out of your hand and then slams into the finish with a dependable fade. Its flat release profile makes it perfect for forehand flicks, and it won't turn over when thrown hard. On backhand shots, it holds a straight-to-overstable line, fading out smoothly without dumping. In wind, it shines—refusing to drift or rise unpredictably. The Rat is all about control and confidence, especially within 250 feet.
