2018 iNOVAI 5.0 Putter

The 2018 iNOVAI 5.0 is a compact mallet built on a two-material construction, with the maker's page listing a 6061 aluminum body paired with a 303 stainless steel head, the two joined at a connected rear piece that the maker's page says increases moment of inertia. Plugged In Golf's review describes that same rear section as a connected trailing edge, which lines up with the moment of inertia claim on the maker's page even if the two sources frame it differently.

The face carries Bettinardi's F.I.T. Face milled technology over a hand-polished 303 stainless steel insert, with the maker's page crediting the company's Precision Milling process for the work. Finish is where the two sources diverge slightly: the maker's page lists a black anodized finish paired with hand-polished stainless steel across the putter, while Plugged In Golf's review narrows that description to a black anodized face specifically. Head weight is listed at 358 grams.

As the 5.0 edition, this release sits within the iNOVAI line's mallet family, built around the rounded, compact shape the maker's page describes, with the aluminum-and-steel body construction and connected rear piece standing as its defining engineering choices within that shape.
