Innova Animal (XT)
The Innova Animal in XT plastic delivers grippy, all-weather control for one of Innova’s most dependable putt-and-approach molds. The Animal’s shallow profile, blunt nose, and subtle thumb track offer a uniquely secure feel, while XT adds a tacky, flexible grip that excels in both warm and cold conditions. This blend provides slightly increased overstability compared to base plastics, giving players a confident, torque-resistant option for short drives and approach shots.
Flight Profile — 2 / 1 / 0 / 1
The XT Animal holds a straight, low-glide line with virtually no turn and a gentle, predictable fade. Its lack of glide keeps approaches from drifting long, while the XT blend helps it absorb ground play—landing soft and staying close to where it hits.
