Flies nice and straight even with power. Seems to me that low power will produce more fade at the end. The over mold looks a little different compared to mvp but it's solid. Wish they could do without the nubs on the bottom but overall they are not an issue for me

I absolutely love this disc. I like a deep rim, so this works really well for me. I use it for putting and approaches, not driving, so I have avoided any cracking issues. The disc is just so predictable. I bought one, tried it for 5 minutes, then immediately went back into the store and bought another. It putts so straight that it took me a while to trust it. Once I did, I started adding distance to my putts immediately. It handles approaches up to about 75 feet well. More than that and it can be turned over, so it is not really a substitute for a midrange. I used Vibram putters for years and this is the disc that finally convinced me to move on. 

This is my first review and I'm writing it because this disc just blows me away. My home course has a basket placed on a right to left down slope and this is the only disc I have tried that NEVER gets on edge and rolls away on the upshot.

It's my go to for low wind upshots less than 175'. I also putt with it when faced with a right to left wind. I don''t use it off the tee or with a run up because it is easily overpowered.

Innova XT Mix X-Out Nova, 175g.

This is a pretty great disc. Pretty straight, maybe a slight bit of turn and fade, but for the most part, it's true to the flight numbers Innova gives it. Brand new, it seems to have a little less glide, but I'm sure once it's beat in, it will probably fly more like 2,4,-0.5,0, which will make it a hyzer flip machine. This disc would be a decent beginner disc, but for me, it seems like I can't get it to go super far unless I really power up on it. 175 feet, sure, no problem, I can throw it maybe 70% and get it to the pin fine, which is how I usually like to throw my putters. But 250 or so, I need to throw it almost as hard as I would a distance driver, around 90%. This is slightly annoying, but once I get that power, it cruises out really nice, which is where I start to see it glide super nicely. Feel-wise, the overmold doesn't bother me, and the plastic feels great in the hand, a perfect mixture of tackiness and firm grip. 

Overall, the Innova Nova works great as a straight backhand approach disc, with nice glide and good torque resistance. It's decent for forehands, but not for anything except 50% power small flicks, so it will definitelly make my bag, just not in a forehand slot.

The Nova is the straightest disc I've ever thrown. After watching Paul McBeth dissect tight courses with this disc I decided that I should try it as well. Unfortunately, I am nowhere near the level of Mcbeast and cannot even dream of coming close to his level but this disc is still very useful to me. This disc holds every line that you put it on. This is very difficult at first and it will reveal flaws in your form but if you spend enough time with it, you will gain control of this disc and be able to hit lines you cannot hit with any other disc and see more distance and accuracy with your other discs. This disc has no fade, no turn, and little glide. This disc has not handled wind very well for me and it does not like a ton of power but it will teach you how to perfect your angle control and teach you to not overpower a disc. 

This is a great putter. It flies straight and finds the basket nicely. This is one of my go to putters along with my Jawbreaker (175g) from Discraft 

A lot of people spend years looking for a disc they can throw a little bit further than the last one they bought. The Nova is for people who have the opposite problem. You should pick up a Nova if you're afraid of throwing too hard and blowing right past the basket. There's a reason Paul McBeth uses these for upshots, and it's because he can throw 500 feet. Honestly, I don't use the Nova in regular rounds because I don't throw as far as Paul. But I'm not going to knock the disc too hard, because it does what it's advertised to do. It flies exactly where you threw it, on the exact release angle you threw it, and then it sits down where it lands.

Now, if you're wondering what makes this disc so special considering that most putters are designed to fly straight, I'd like to compare it to Innova's flagship putter, the Aviar. The Aviar is undeniably a very straight flying disc for anyone from beginners to professionals. The Nova is also a very straight flying disc for anyone from beginners to professionals. Both of these discs will fly great with a flat release regardless of whether you have a big arm or a noddle arm. They can also both hold anhyzer release angles well, because they legitimately have 0 fade.

The biggest difference I find is in how these two discs hold hyzer release angles. If you release an Aviar with a bit of a hyzer angle, the Aviar will flip up to flat anyway so long as you gave it some power. For some people, that's going to be the most natural way to throw the Aviar, because for a lot of us (me included) it's just more comfortable to throw everything with a little bit of hyzer. If you do this with the Nova, it will NOT flip up to flat. You can throw a Nova with a little bit of hyzer, and it will actually hold that little bit of hyzer through the entire shot, and as a result it will end up ten feet left of where the Aviar would have landed with the exact same throw. Depending on what you're using the disc for, that tendency to hold the release angle can either be a good thing or a bad thing. The Nova is going to stay on the angle you put it on, and if you're not as precise with your release angles as Paul McBeth when throwing this disc, then you can easily end up off target because the disc doesn't have a natural tendency to turn or fade at all. It's a perfectly accurate disc if YOU are perfectly accurate, but I find that it's easier to be accurate with a disc that you know will flip up to flat and then fade, because that's how pretty much every other disc works, and it's not how the Nova seems to work.

Personally, this is the main reason why I'm probably not going to be using the Nova in a real round. I still like to have a Nova around, because it's an excellent practice tool for diagnosing any bad habits you might have. But I don't have enough confidence in my mechanics to pull this disc out when I'm competing against my friends, because sometimes this disc can make me look silly. I do definitely recommend you buy a Nova if you're serious about improving your backhand accuracy, or even if you're a beginner looking to learn good fundamentals, but this disc isn't going to immediately improve your score. Instead, the Nova will give you the option to do the hard work of improving yourself so that you can throw OTHER discs with more precision because you took the time to practice with this one.
