Whenever we long for the Puma disc, we try to imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger saying its name, and somehow the disc’s absence isn’t so bad. “Pooooma.” See. It works. Classified as a long range driver at one point in its life, the Puma is a good example of how discs have evolved over the years. At a speed 4 rating, the Puma would be considered more of a mid range, maybe even a putter today. Its mild high speed turn and fade made it very accurate from short or off the tee. Similar in feel to the Panther, it was easy to hold and throw on a line.

Innova Panther
Looking for something that compares to the Puma? Consider the Innova Panther, which is still in production. Like the Puma, it’s a small diameter mid range and throwing it accurately is well within most players. Great for slow, controlled turnovers.
Innova Skeeter
Or try the Skeeter. The Skeeter is also a small diameter mid range and has a similar stable to understable flight as the Puma, only faster. Very versatile and perfect for one disc rounds!
