The Innova Proto Glow Champion Rat (Nate Sexton Tour Series) is the answer to players demanding a high-speed, forehand-specific approach disc with a premium, night-ready upgrade. Meet the Rat: a low-profile, beadless mid-range approach disc that flies incredibly fast out of the hand. By adding a distinct flat top to this specialized run, the Rat secures its spot as arguably the most comfortable sidearm utility disc on the market. Whether you are cracking power forehands through tight wooded gaps or executing smooth backhand approaches, its flight remains exceptionally predictable and torque-resistant.
Nate Sexton Tour Series Rat Flight Numbers
The Rat occupies a highly functional speed-stable matrix, offering more forward push than a traditional putter while dropping quickly once its speed drops off:
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 2 | 0 | 3 |
With official flight ratings of 4 | 2 | 0 | 3, this disc handles headwind approach shots beautifully. Rip it forehand and it will fly dead straight with a highly predictable, biting fade at the tail end of its flight path. The backhand grip feels just as secure, delivering mirror-image consistency.
The Proto Glow Champion Advantage & Run Details
As a core piece of the 2026 Innova Tour Series Disc Golf Collection, this release features premium upgrades that set it apart from standard stock runs:
- **Extra Flat Profile:** This specific run of Tour Series Rats is molded extra flat—exactly how Nate Sexton likes them—ensuring a completely clean release with zero hand drag or wobble.
- **Proto Glow Champion Plastic:** Innova's next-generation glow technology provides a noticeably brighter, longer-lasting luminous shine while maintaining the stiff, ultra-durable, and smooth feel of classic Champion plastic.
- **Controllable Stability:** While it shares a similar speed profile to ultra-beefy utility discs like the premium Innova Star Toro, the Rat is less aggressively dumpy, providing more straight, usable pushing distance before its fade kicks in.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Nate Sexton Proto Glow Rat
How does the Rat compare to the Innova Toro?
The Rat is a straighter approach disc than the Toro. While the Star Toro is a highly aggressive "brick" that fights to get to the ground immediately (4 | 2 | 0 | 4), the Rat pushes further down the fairway on a straight line before entering a smooth, predictable fade. It is perfect for players who find the Toro a bit too overstable for touch approaches.
What is the difference between this run and a stock Rat?
Standard versions like the stock Innova Rat offer excellent performance, but the Nate Sexton Tour Series run is specifically molded to be exceptionally flat-topped and features premium Proto Glow Champion plastic, which offers superior torque resistance, longer wear-life, and high-visibility night play capability.
Does the Proto Glow Rat have a bead along the rim?
No, the Rat is completely beadless. This smooth, flat bottom rim profile is exactly why it is highly recommended for forehand/sidearm players, as it eliminates any finger catching during high-power releases.
