Innova Pig is an overstable disc that offers a slow glide and medium fade. The putter’s thick Thumtrac Rim provides extra stability and is available in a Soft grippy R-Pro plastic which is great to throw in headwinds.
Ricky Wysocki made the disc famous, and it is classified as a putt and approach disc; In other words, it is used more than just for putting and approaching the basket from further out on the course.
Once the Innova pig disc is thrown, it hyzes around the tree and, in any event it doesn’t go inside, turns around to sit by the basket. The Pig is great for backhands because it has almost no glide but goes short and left when thrown RHBH. It is also perfect for forehands, putting in headwinds, and delivering upshots.
This disc is easy to throw in whatever direction you want it to go, even in high winds. If thrown with enough spin on a total power forehand, the Pig doesn’t have as much consistency as the Croc, but it does fly as intended.

Types of Plastic
Innova’s reputation for making consistent and dependable disc golf discs stems from the different plastic blends they use.
The different types of plastics may seem overwhelming when you try to understand their differences and similarities, which makes each of them unique. So we’ll break it down.
Now, the types of plastic available are Star, StarLite, Echo Star, GStar, Champion, Metal Flake, Blizzard, XT Pro, Driver Pro, KC Pro, JK & R-Pro, and DX plastics. And all of them are classified according to their durability, grip and benefits.
However, the variety of plastics used to make the Innova Pig Disc are the Pro and R-Pro.
Innova Pro Pig Plastic
Innova discontinued its Pro Pig a couple of years ago and replaced it with a softer blend of Pro plastic called the R-Pro (“Rubber Pro”). The switch-up did not pan out well for everyone, which caused a spike in the value of the old Pro Pigs in disc golf marketplaces.
Now the legendary Pro Pig is back with a brand new stamp! Discs from Pro-Line are produced with a specially designed plastic blend that provides specific qualities for each model.
When you compare the Pro disc with the Champion plastic, Pro discs supply an enhanced grip. Also, pro discs happen to be more durable than discs made with DX plastic. They give extra glide and are the most inexpensive disc in stores. You’ll also find that this range is cheaper than star line or Premium Champion disc. Pro disc is majorly known for its grip ability.
Innova R-Pro Pig Plastic
In comparison to other Pro blends, R-Pro is softer. The R-Pro disc offers superior grip and an improved feel under all conditions. It is an excellent choice for approach and putts in a cold or wet condition with its great flexibility.
The R-Pro plastic is exceptionally durable and sticks to the ground as well. With its low glide, you will be able to approach it no matter how windy the weather condition is. It is more affordable than the Champion and DX disc.
Pig Flight Ratings and Flight Pattern
We had earlier outlined the specifications of this disc in our Innova Pig review, and the flight rating has shown how best the disc will function under different conditions.
To recap, the Innova pig has a 3-Speed rating, 1-Glide, 0-Turn and 3-Fade. The pig disc tends to fade towards the end of its flight path, making it an excellent option for beginning players to learn on.
Its pattern is excellent for putting and approaching. In addition, Pig does not roll away after hitting the ground, but the Pig will always fight back when a flex shot is attempted. While the Pig is especially impressive, once it reaches its destination, it begins to fade away.
Who Pig Is Best Suited To
The Innova Pig is designed for everyone with different skill levels. Players who are advanced and at intermediate levels could go for it. Beginners are also not excluded. It is the best choice for hyzer putting, windy putts, and reliable approach shots.
Final Thoughts On The Innova Pig
Innova Pigs are classic discs that everyone should have in their collection. The disc is a good utility disc. While it may not be helpful in every situation, you will appreciate that you have it on hand.
And because of the sleek design and affordable price point, this putter has become a favorite among new players, as well as those looking for another disc to add to their collection. It is an excellent approach disc due to the low glide, and it does not flip away from the basket.
