Innova R-Pro Rhyno 2 | 1 | 0 | 3
When you are staring down a dangerous, fast green and cannot afford a rollaway, the Innova R-Pro Rhyno is the ultimate approach solution. A highly specialized favorite within the Innova Rhyno Collection, this reliable, overstable putt and approach disc has been delivering extreme precision for decades. If you are browsing our disc golf putters collection for a disc that hits the ground and immediately stops, the soft, impact-absorbing nature of the R-Pro Rhyno makes it a must-have utility tool.
Flight Numbers
Boasting flight ratings of 2 | 1 | 0 | 3, the Rhyno behaves exactly like its animal namesake. The incredibly low 1 glide ensures it charges heavily toward the target and drops out of the sky quickly. The 0 turn and 3 fade provide the necessary overstability to fight off-axis torque and stiff headwinds. Because the R-Pro plastic is highly flexible, it tends to fly just a touch less aggressively overstable out of the box compared to the ultra-stiff Champion runs, making it highly workable for straight-to-fade touch approaches.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |

The R-Pro Rhyno delivers:
- Hit and Stick Ground Play: The soft, rubbery plastic absorbs energy upon impact, dramatically reducing the chance of unwanted flare skips or punishing rollaways on hillsides.
- Thumtrac™ Rim: The signature raised track along the top outer edge provides an enhanced, locked-in grip for your thumb, maximizing control in all weather conditions.
- Blunt Nose Design: The thick, rounded profile further dampens forward momentum, ensuring the disc stops on a dime.
R-Pro Plastic
Innova’s R-Pro plastic is a highly flexible, rubber-infused blend designed specifically for maximum grip and shock absorption. It is often referred to as a "soft" plastic. In wet, cold, or highly humid conditions, R-Pro provides an unparalleled tactile feel that simply will not slip out of your hand. When putting directly into the chains, the flexibility of the plastic helps the disc bend and grab, preventing spit-outs on aggressive putts.

Looking for a premium variant that maintains its maximum overstability forever, or a stiffer baseline blend to cycle? See how the R-Pro compares to the rest of the lineup:
- Champion Rhyno: A premium, ultra-durable translucent plastic that is significantly stiffer and retains its maximum overstability over years of heavy use.
- DX Rhyno: A firmer, more affordable baseline option. It provides excellent chalky grip but beats in quickly to become a straighter flyer over time, perfect for bag cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose R-Pro over DX plastic?
While both offer excellent grip, R-Pro is significantly softer and more rubbery than standard DX plastic. You choose R-Pro when you need the disc to absorb ground impact and stop dead, preventing rollaways on hillsides or fast greens. It also grabs the chains better on aggressive putts.
What is the Innova Thumtrac™ Rim?
The Thumtrac™ Rim is a raised, circular track located on the top flight plate near the outer edge of the disc. It provides a tactile resting place for your thumb, offering superior grip and confidence for both putting and approach shots.
Is the R-Pro Rhyno good for forehands?
Yes, but with a caveat. While the overstability and Thumtrac™ are great for sidearms, the highly flexible nature of R-Pro plastic can sometimes feel slightly "floppy" to power forehand throwers who prefer a rigid release. For high-torque forehands, the stiffer Champion Rhyno is often preferred.
