At least it's not another stab at a zone clone. If it has a bead i might be intrigued. It looks like it does.

"The best putter for inside-the-circle putts" - now that's some aggressive marketing.

I like the flight ratings. The lower glide should make for very accurate placement for narrow fairways that have a slight dogleg left to them. Profile looks like a Reko but with a slightly larger bead.

Why can't we just get stock runs of DX Big bead aviars and kc Pro Rhynos?

Bullfrog is 3/1/0/1, Invader is 3/2/0/1.
I'm interested to see how this Invader compares to the Bullfrog.
From a marketing standpoint, Invader sounds more like a driver mold than a putter.

INB4 Casey says it looks like an XD.

In before SD....oh wait!

I was thinking Bullfrog too when I saw this. So with a bit more glide, are we talking a bit more turn?

Definitely eager to give this a try.

I love this idea. I picked up several DX BB Aviars last time I was at the warehouse because my jaw hit the floor when I saw them

KC Rhynos sound delicious too. Would love for that to be a permanent stock item.

Having said that, I'm all over trying a new putter. I never get tired of trying new putters. I actually really liked my XT Bullfrog so this Invader sounds fun.

Isn't this like the 5th new mold this year? First putter though, I think, it gets hard to keep track.

 

[TheOtherBill]

Tons of new players since the pandemic hit (and mass unemployment), so maybe Innova has had these molds on the shelf. Now seems like a good time to flood the market to players who don't know any better.

Decent stamp tho

I don't get this. If a putting putter works, it's the last thing I want to mess with.

Marmoset likes to drive all different putters, my guess is he isn't changing his main putting putter.

I'd rather Innova make 5 putter/midrange molds a year versus crappy 13/14 speed drivers.

 

[wolfhaley]

They probably have a 15 speed driver set for release next week. INNovice maybe?

This would be beautiful.

In a perfect world, Innova should:

Stop making so many new molds. Maybe try like 1-2 a year (that includes tweaks and variations of existing molds which always should be labeled).

Stop tweaking molds without telling anybody and releasing them as the normal ones (because I love that every third Valk I pick up is a Valk+ :|)

Make your classic and beloved molds WELL and in good plastic options.
