Top Doomsday Discs For Your Bag!

May 16, 2025 Mister Disc Leave a comment

In this line of “work”, I interact with a lot of companies, representatives, players, and more.

Believe me when I tell you, there’s only one Doctor Death.

You might think, behind the scenes, this person might reveal their true name to be something like “Gary” and have some “off-the-record” discourse about Doomsday Discs’ company/branding and how they came up with it all.

No, no, no. Not with me at least!

As far as I’m concerned, Doctor Death knows the end is near, and when it comes, the good Doctor and the loyal Doomsday street team plan to emerge from their bunkers and play some disc golf in our new dystopian reality.

I don’t know about you, but this brings me some measure of comfort. I’m glad to know that the game will live on when I’m gone.

I just hope my corpse doesn’t get in the way and stop their discs from skipping close to the basket. If it does, just sling me aside for the foursome of Doomsday players behind you.

If you could though, point me towards the basket so I can watch the apocalyptic disc golf action unfold…

In the meantime, while we wait for the inevitable, we’ve got a Doomsday Discs featured post for you.

Doomsday has some incredibly unique discs for you and some more conventional ones as well.

We went ahead and ranked their discs in a lot of different categories to help you find some Doomsday Discs to fill some slots in your bag.

First, let’s take a look at Doomsday Discs and what they’re about…

The Doomsday Discs Loyal Fanbase

In my background “research” on Doomsday Discs and my own anecdotal findings picked up from the ether, the Doomsday fanbase and street team have separated themselves as some of the most loyal fans in disc golf.

If a new disc drops with one of their signature stamps, it can sell out in minutes.

If you play a round with a Doomsday loyalist, not only are they throwing all Doomsday discs but they’ll probably be decked out in the apparel with the swag to match.

They love the brand and they show it…

Here’s what Doctor Death had to say…

“Team Doomsday is the most devoted and passionate disc golf brand “street team” on the planet. If you take a chance and make bold moves, there’s usually somebody who will appreciate what you’re doing. So, the brand is really theirs. It’s for them, driven by them, and they call the shots. You reap what you throw.”

Within that quote, and in addition to the clear recognition that Doomsday Discs’ fans are incredibly loyal and instrumental to their brand, there’s another part that’s intriguing as well.

“If you take a chance and make bold moves, there’s usually somebody who will appreciate what you are doing..”

Not only is their branding innovative and unique, but so too are some of their discs!

Doomsday’s BOLD Discs

I said it before. Doomsday Discs will definitely have some more conventional molds that are more akin to something you might find with some other brands.

They also, however, have some incredibly singular discs that look, feel, and fly different than anything you might have thrown before.

At the very least, when you pull one of these discs out of your bag, it’s a conversation starter with your fellow disc golfers.

“Are you throwing a disc or a trash can lid?*” might be the start of the conversation if you pull out the Depth Charge for a touchy approach shot.

The Land Mine Is one of many unique molds in the Doomsday Discs lineup.

Then, after you nestle it close, the conversation might shift. “Can I try that thing?”

And a new Doomsday Discs fan is born.

By my count, they have at least 6 such “bold” discs, some with more utility on the course than others (the way I view things).

We’ll rank them, along with many other categories, so you can see for yourself.

Before that, let’s take a quick look at some Doomsday Discs History (or what little I could gather).

*Shout out to the commenter(s) that got a chuckle out of me comparing either the Land Mine or the Depth Charge to a trash can lid.

Doomsday Discs Background…

When I asked Doctor Death when Doomsday started, this is some of what I got…

“I would say that the first sign of the beginning of Doomsday was the Carrington Event in September, 1859 during solar cycle 10. That caused a reversal of direction in the slow-moving magnetic poles…”

And on it went!

Thankfully Doctor Death seemed to know what I was getting at and gave me this as well…

“In the meantime, we started a disc golf brand that embraces these inevitabilities a few months before our first PDGA approved disc was announced, the Plague, in April 2022.”

Since that fateful day in 2022, Doomsday Discs have been quite busy. At the time of this post, Doomsday Discs has 30 different molds on the market.

They come in some high-quality plastics at very competitive prices. It’s time to rank them!

Ranking The Best Doomsday Discs!

It’s time… No, not that time…yet. The apocalypse will come and hopefully the Doomsdayers can give us a heads when it does so we can do a little last-minute prep work ourselves.

Right now, we’re going to highlight and rank the best Doomsday Discs on the market in a variety of categories.

We ranked them based on a multitude of criteria. It came down to personal experience, mixed with disc rankings from other disc golfers, along with some other variables like how long it’s been on the market and others that we’ll keep to ourselves (we can’t just give out our award-winning recipes willy-nilly)…

Let’s begin with midranges. I’ll explain why in a moment…

Best Doomsday Midranges!

“Why would you start with midranges?” you rightly inquire.

Because Doomsday’s midranges are awesome. That’s why.

These guys have cooked up all sorts of mids that could and should be in bags for players of all levels. Beginners to pros.

Doomsday has a lot of great discs as you’ll see, but I couldn’t help but appreciate the breadth of greatness with their midranges. They’re so good, I had a great deal of trouble ranking them. More than any other, take these rankings with a grain of salt, and if you see one that fills a slot in your bag, you won’t go wrong with it.

For this reason, we start here…

Despair – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 4, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) A classic, straight-as-you-like flyer, that can turn with power and has a great hand feel.
Crisis – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 2, 0, 4 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) This disc easily handles forehand and backhand torque and can be released at extreme angles to bend around obstacles and get you close!
Scavenger – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) Great for Finesse shots on many angles. Also hyzer-flips to straight with good glide.
Wasteland – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 4, 0, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.83 stars) Great, stable, straight-flying midrange with nice glide and reliability.
Desolation – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, 0, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.7 stars) A steady, dependable midrange with a very consistent fade.
Scope – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 4, 0, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.75 stars) A fun, 4-speed with unique hand-fell that helps you laser in on your target with very consistent results!
Flat Earth – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, -1, 0 (Avg. Rating: 4.71 stars) Flippier than the numbers suggest, but the glide is very real and the turnover lines are exceptional.
Frag – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 2, 0, 5 (Avg. Rating: 4.22 stars) This is seemingly a utility disc that can bend at extreme angles when you need it to.

Let’s move on to a close relative: Approach Discs.

Top Doomsday Approach Discs!

Not surprisingly, given the excellence of their midrange discs, Doomsday has some fantastic approach discs as well.

When you find yourself somewhere in the vicinity of 150 feet (about 45 meters) out, depending on the shot you face, there are a lot of great options from Doomsday Discs so you can put it close.

Area 51 – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 3, 0, 2.5 (Avg. Rating: 4.88 stars) Extremely reliable fade, with a just-right glide and hand feel. Works great for backhand and forehand so you don’t overshoot and can nestle it close.
Crisis – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 2, 0, 4 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) If you like extra beef in your approach disc, Crisis has you covered. It feels great backhand and forehand and the fade is real so you can zag around obstacles as well.
Depth Charge – The thinner-rimmed, premium-plastic cousin of the Land Mine. This low-glide, flexible disc will fly straight at the basket with minimal fade and very low roll-away potential. Try The Scope for a touch more glide and stability.
Scavenger – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) Bend this delicately around obstacles for soft, finesse approach shots.

Best Doomsday Fairway Drivers!

Doomsday Discs has less Fairway Drivers than other categories of discs, but they have some really nice options for disc golfers that want some controlled distance.

Here are some favorites…

Blackout – Factory Flight Numbers: 8, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.76 stars) A smooth hyzer-flip disc for easy glide and straight distance. Also holds long anhyzer lines very nicely when you find yourself in a bind on the course.
Ice Age – Factory Flight Numbers: 7, 4, 0, 3 (Avg. Rating: 4.63 stars) A no-nonsense, wind-busting, highly flickable, & very dependable disc in all conditions.
Chemtrail – Factory Flight Numbers: 7, 6, -2, 1 – A high-glide, hold-many-lines, workable gem of a disc that could be a go-to for many players for years to come.
Solar Death Ray – Factory Flight Numbers: 8, 5, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.0 stars) With grip-enhancing grooves on the flight plate, this disc is intriguing. It flies nice and straight and can be used well for both forehand and backhand.

Best Doomsday Distance Drivers!

Look, Doomsday Discs do not play by everyone’s rules. This, from how I see it, is part of their big appeal. They do not conform. They do not want to conform.

When asked about some of their “meme” discs here’s what Doctor Death had to say:

“We’re happy to produce “meme” discs, but really, those are simply discs that break the norms of standard disc design. The PDGA has always tried to limit what can be used in competitive, sanctioned play, but there is still some room within those limitations to create discs that don’t look, feel, or fly quite like other discs…”

Well, when categorizing “Distance Drivers” they have a few discs that would slot nicely into that “meme” disc category.

Would I recommend some of these “meme” discs for attempting to throw long distances?

I would not.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t have a place in disc golf. So, for this section, let’s do drivers that would recommend for throwing long distances.

Then, later, let’s have a section for some of these aforementioned “meme” discs as well.

Dystopia – Factory Flight Numbers: 10, 5, -2, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.55 stars) If you want consistent, controllable, straight-line, natural distance, then this is your disc.
Cataclysm – Factory Flight Numbers: 11, 5, -1, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.5 stars) This great-feeling disc provides workable, easy distance for lots of arm speeds.
Plague – Factory Flight Numbers: 12, 5, -1, 2.5 (Avg. Rating: 4.58 stars) Has the potential to be a backhand or forehand distance workhorse in your bag.
Lockdown – Factory Flight Numbers: 10, 5, -1, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.25 stars) A straight, steady, very controllable driver for good distance and predictable results.
Famine – Factory Flight Numbers: 12, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.05 stars) Understable, beginner-friendly distance driver right out of the box.
Pestilence – Factory Flight Numbers: 13, 5, -4, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.05 stars) Finally, a 13-speed that beginners can rip on. Also good for long, if a bit touchy, turnovers and, of course, some serious rollers.

Top Doomsday “Meme” Discs

As promised, here’s a section on Doomsday “meme” discs. And continuing the quote from above, Doctor Death also had this to say…

“…Why not have a boxy disc that flies wonderfully and then hits the breaks and falls before overshooting the target and gliding into a pond? Why not make a disc that fades the moment it leaves your hand so that you can make a sharp fade around a stand of trees in which you’re otherwise trapped? Why not have grooves on the top of a driver instead of just a dog-disc putter? Why not do something different?”

So, with that in mind, let’s rank these so-called “meme” discs!

The Land Mine Family – This family includes the Land Mine, Depth Charge, and even Proximity Mine. These are round “boxy” approach discs that can take power, and will get down so you don’t go OB long. Great for soft bids from distance too.
Apocalypse – I’d be genuinely impressed if you could throw this 12-speed disc much farther than 250 feet. It takes the word “overstable” to a new level. But therein lies the fun perhaps. It won’t likely make your tournament bag, but throw it in for a casual round and let your cardmates take a rip on it for some good fun.
Frag – This extremely overstable midrange will begin it’s fade almost as soon as you release it. But you can put this to use by zagging between trees or getting big lateral utility skips up to the basket.
WMD – Good luck controlling this flippy 15-speed. It’ll certainly go far. Where it goes, is anybody’s guess, however. Still, it’s another disc that is great for friends to bomb with during a casual round. Don’t bring it out for a sanctioned event as it is not PDGA approved!
Solar Death Ray – I liked throwing this groove-topped 8-speed. I’m not even sure it belongs in this category. It takes some getting used to but the grooves can give a little extra grip in certain adverse throwing conditions.

Best Doomsday Putters

With most manufacturer reviews, you might start with the putters.

But that sounds conventional. And maybe this Doomsday bucking of convention is rubbing off on me as well…

We’ve already ranked some of their putters in the approach discs sections. For this section we’re going to stick to throwing and putting putters. That gives us 3 left to get to and all 3 have elements you’ll appreciate.

Rot – Factory Flight Numbers: 2, 4, 0, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.67 stars) A really nice throwing putter that keeps a nice straight line with a light, predictable fade. This disc is also appreciated as a putting putter and has a subtle bead to it.
Gloom – Factory Flight Numbers: 2, 3, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.5 stars) A beadless, glidey putting putter that is good for bids from circles 1 and 2.
Bleak – Factory Flight Numbers: 2, 4, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.29 stars) A hybrid putting and throwing putter that has a slight turn to it at higher powers and has a nice straight, floating flight around the basket.

Best Doomsday Discs – In Summary

Doomsday Discs brings something fresh to the disc golf world and their fans truly appreciate this about them.

The fans don’t just support in half measures. They are loyal until the bitter end.

When and how that bitter end does come is anybody’s guess. Until that day, there are plenty of great Doomsday Discs that we’ve highlighted and ranked for you to enjoy pre-apocalypse (and possibly post-apocalypse if you play your cards right).

When that day does come, I’m guessing my days will probably be numbered. And if that’s the case, when I come to that morbid realization I’m going to take Doctor Death’s sign off to me as life advice.

Help Test the Infinite Disc Golf App

April 30, 2025 Alan Leave a comment

About a decade ago, we developed a scorekeeping app that could give you round ratings (similar to PDGA ratings) and help you track your putting statistics for your recreational disc golf rounds. Around that time, UDisc really took off, and we didn’t dedicate the time or resources to improve the app’s features. When we launched our 3.0 website a few years ago, the app’s features weren’t transferred over, and it hasn’t been in operation for the past three years.

Well, the app is back!

Mostly.

We need some testers to help us find bugs and ensure that it is working properly so that we can release it to the public again.

Celebrate Earth Day With Eco-Friendly Discs On Sale!

Use discount code EARTH to save 15% on these earth-friendly plastics. To search by plastic types, use our Advanced Search option by clicking on the search icon, click ‘Advanced Search’, then select the brand you want to search, and choose the ‘Plastic Type’.

Disc golf is a sport that naturally brings us closer to nature. Whether you’re hiking up a wooded fairway, launching a drive across a valley, or just enjoying the sound of chains echoing through the trees, it’s easy to appreciate the great outdoors when you’re out on the course. So it only makes sense that disc golfers want to protect those places we play.

With Earth Day here, there’s no better time to spotlight the disc golf brands that are stepping up for sustainability. More and more manufacturers are turning to recycled materials, earth-friendly plastics, and greener production practices to reduce their environmental impact. And the best part? These discs aren’t just Eco-conscious. They fly just as well as their standard counterparts.

If you’re looking to go a little greener with your gear, here’s a closer look at the companies making it easier to throw responsibly.

Latitude 64

Let’s start with Latitude 64, a disc golf brand based out of Sweden. They’ve introduced a Recycled Line that reuses leftover materials from their regular production runs. These plastics come from misprints, factory seconds, or excess plastic that would otherwise be scrapped.

The result? Durable, great-feeling discs that come in unique, swirly colors due to the mixed plastic. These aren’t your average “Eco” discs. They perform like premium plastic, with a softer feel and slightly more grip. Some players even prefer it!

Popular molds in the Recycled Line include beginner favorites like the Diamond and Pure, making it easy for new players to get started with Eco-friendly plastic.

Bonus points:Latitude 64’s factory runs on 100% renewable energy.

Check out Latitude 64 molds HERE

Dynamic Discs & Westside Discs

Latitude 64’s sustainability efforts don’t stop at their own brand—they extend to their Trilogy partners: Dynamic Discs and Westside Discs. All three brands share production facilities, which means they also share recycled plastic initiatives.

Dynamic Discs offers BioFuzion plastic, a recycled blend made from Fuzion plastic remnants. Similarly, Westside Discs has Tournament Recycled, which does the same with their premium Tournament blend.

These plastics tend to be slightly more understable than the originals, which is actually a plus for many players, especially those still dialing in their form. BioFuzion and Tournament Recycled discs offer high performance, distinctive looks, and a smaller environmental footprint.

Infinite Discs

The Infinite Discs I-Blend plastic is made from recycled plastics, and it feels amazing! By using recycled plastics, the amount of virgin plastic used is greatly reduced. That reduces the environmental impact associated with manufacturing. Most Infinite molds can be found in I-Blend plastic.

Check out Infinite molds HERE

Discraft

Discraft has been making moves to become more sustainable as well. One of their key initiatives is the use of Recycled ESP plastic. ESP is a blend made by reprocessing scraps and leftover materials from their ESP line.

Discraft’s recycled runs are typically limited releases, so they don’t always stay in stock for long. But when they do pop up, they’re a great way to get a premium feel with a lighter environmental load.

In addition to their plastics, Discraft focuses on reducing waste throughout their manufacturing process. They’ve put a strong emphasis on operational efficiency, minimizing scrap, and repurposing unused materials.

See our Discraft molds HERE

MVP Disc Sports

When it comes to eye-catching design, MVP Disc Sports has always done things a little differently. That creativity extends to their sustainability game, too. Their R2 Neutron plastic line is made from recycled materials, collected from their own production waste.

R2 discs are easy to spot—featuring a sleek black core with white rims. They look sharp, feel fantastic, and fly true. The plastic is soft and grippy, making it a solid choice for putting and approach discs in particular.

Current molds available in R2 Neutron include popular putters like the Envy, Atom, and Nomad. These are all excellent choices if you want to build an Eco-friendly short game.

MVP also owns Axiom and Streamline Discs, and while R2 is currently limited to select molds, it shows their commitment to building sustainable options into their product line.

Trash Panda Disc Golf

No discussion about Eco-friendly discs would be complete without mentioning Trash Panda Disc Golf! Jesse from Trash Panda started the brand with the goal of making discs completely from recycled plastic. It took a few years to reach the point where he could do it at scale, but he has achieved that goal!

In addition to making and selling tons of discs made from recycled plastic, he also accepts tons (literally) of used discs to grind up and make into new discs! How cool is that! According to the Trash Panda website, they have recycled over 30,000 pounds of plastic. Every facet of their business is about sustainability.

See this Infinite interview with Jesse that occurred while he was still working in his garage, HERE

Clash Discs

The normal plastic manufacturing process involves the use of petroleum, so Clash Discs came up with an Eco-friendlier alternative. They use plant-based oils to manufacture their Planty line of discs. The discs are still durable and will not biodegrade. The feel of the novel material is similar to Clash’s Steady plastic.

See the line-up of Clash molds HERE

Bernoulli Disc Golf

Bernoulli chooses to combine sustainability with innovation. They look for ways to use recycled plastic and plant-based plastics. Not only is some of the material used in Bernoulli discs plant-based, it also biodegrades! They’ve even found ways to incorporate wood into their plastics.

Check out Bernoulli discs HERE

Eurodisc Disc Golf

Another brand focusing on sustainability and organic plastic is the German Brand, Eurodisc. They make petroleum-free, 100% recyclable plastics that are produced completely using green power. Their organic discs are sturdy and durable, and recyclable!

Check out their line of discs HERE

Doomsday Discs

Even Doomsday Discs, the brand that embraces the inevitable apocalypse, has a plastic that is earth friendly. Their Landfill plastic is made from recycled premium plastics. It costs a little less than premium, but still feels and flies like the best plastics. Landfill plastics won’t prevent the end of the world. But it will make the planet a little cleaner!

Check out our line of Doomsday molds HERE

Ocean Discs

What sets Ocean Discs apart from other brands is their commitment to the planet by makes discs from plastic that was removed from the ocean. Their Ocean Waste plastic lines get 60% of their plastic from waste recovered from the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, they donate a percentage of every disc sold to the Marine Conservation Society. That is a win-win for the ocean!

Check out the complete line of Ocean Waste plastics HERE

Aerobees

The French company Aerobees has a completely biosourced plastic that is aptly named ‘Biosourced’. It is an organic blend material that is made from wheat, corn, and oyster shells. It is all-natural, biodegradable, and renewable. Biosourced plastic feels like regular plastic, and it’s easy on the earth.

Check out the Aerobees Orsus midrange HERE

Other Eco-Conscious Practices

While not every disc is made from recycled plastic, several brands are making progress in other areas of sustainability. For example:

Innova has explored Eco-friendly packaging and has made efforts to reduce energy consumption in their manufacturing process.
Many smaller brands and custom disc dyers are starting to use water-based dyes or biodegradable packaging to reduce their impact.
A few disc golf bag manufacturers are beginning to use recycled fabrics and materials in their products, too. That’s something to keep an eye on!

Shopping Green: Tips for Eco-Friendly Disc Buying

So, how can you be a more environmentally conscious disc golfer? Here are a few simple tips:

Look for recycled plastic labels like R2 Neutron, BioFuzion, I-Blend, Recycled Line, or Recycled ESP.
Buy factory seconds or misprints. Not only are they often cheaper, but they help reduce waste.
Check packaging. Some retailers use Eco-friendly shipping materials—bonus points for compostable mailers or recycled boxes.

Final Thoughts

Disc golf is a game that frequently takes place at a variety of landscapes, parks, and green spaces. Supporting brands that are working to reduce their environmental impact is one small way we can all give back to the sport, and the planet, that gives us so much.

So whether you’re buying your first disc or restocking for tournament season, take a second to see if there’s a recycled or earth-friendly option available. The discs fly great, they look cool, and they might just help keep your favorite course looking great for generations of players to come.

This Earth Day, let’s throw a little greener and play a little cleaner. Use discount code EARTH to save 15% on Earth-Friendly plastics through 4/23. Happy hucking, and happy Earth Day!

Clash Discs’ Planty Plastic

April 18, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Planty: Clash Discs’ Eco-Friendly Plastic

There’s a disc golf plastic that you might have heard about, and it didn’t come from a barrel of crude oil. Clash Discs has developed Planty, an environmentally responsible material that blends high performance with bio-based innovation. If you’ve ever wished your favorite disc was just a little kinder to the planet—well, you’re in luck.

Exactly What Is Planty?

Planty is Clash’s bioplastic designed specifically for disc golf. Unlike traditional plastics made primarily from petroleum, Planty is derived from plant-based oils. That’s right—this plastic starts in the soil, not in a refinery.

Planty isn’t biodegradable, and that’s a good thing. Biodegradable materials tend to break down too easily, and nobody wants a driver that starts composting halfway through a tournament. Instead, Planty offers the long-lasting toughness you’d expect from any disc golf plastic, with the added bonus of being made from renewable resources.

How Does It Feel?

If you’ve thrown Clash’s Steady plastic before, you already have a good idea of what to expect. Planty closely mirrors Steady’s trusted performance profile, with excellent grip, reliable durability, and just the right touch of flexibility. It is an opaque plastic, somewhat similar to Star plastic.

A Step Toward the Future

Clash has always had an eye on innovation. From unique disc names to different blends of plastic, they’ve never been afraid to try something new. With Planty, they’re taking a bold step toward sustainability without sacrificing performance.

According to Clash, they’ve explored everything from wood fiber to cellulose to get here. After years of testing and tweaking, Planty emerged as the front-runner. It is a modern take on an old material, and it’s ready to take on the demands of the game, and help lead disc golf toward a greener future.

Ready to Go Green?

If you’re the kind of player who appreciates both clean lines and a cleaner world, Planty might just be your new favorite plastic. Head to Infinite Discs to see available molds, and find out what this eco-minded material can do.

Stop Losing Discs!

April 9, 2025 Ted Hegemann 6 comments

It’s spring time here in northern Utah and the snow levels on the mountains are rising with the temperatures. The warmer weather mean more opportunities for hucking discs. It also means more lost discs. Although I can’t guarantee you’ll stop losing discs in this blog, I’ll give you a couple tips to improve your odds of getting lost discs back.

Regardless of your skill level, if you play enough disc golf you will end up losing a disc (or two. Or ten) Whether the disc ends up in some bushes, a body of water, or even deep snow, many of us end up walking away from a disc on a course. What can we do to improve our chances of getting our disc back?

While there are a few disc golfers, who live by the motto, “Finders, Keepers”, there are many more who will attempt to get the disc back to its original owner. Some of those people will only make the attempt if there is contact information on the disc (as opposed to posting a picture on a local Facebook page.) That leads us to the first tip.

Write Your Contact Info on Your Discs

This simple task of writing your name or some contact information greatly improves your chances of getting your disc back if it gets lost. If you are not comfortable writing your name and/or phone number, consider using an email address. You could also get a Google Voice phone number (which is what I do) that you use exclusively for this purpose, and put that on your disc. Whatever method you use, giving people a way to contact you might make the difference between getting your disc back or not.

Check Your Penmanship

It is frustrating to me when I find a disc that has a number on it, but can’t read the digits. Is that a six, or an eight, or maybe a zero? I don’t want to text a bunch of wrong numbers in my quest to return your disc to you. If you don’t have the most legible penmanship, ask someone else to write your info on your disc. Another convenient option is to buy a rubber stamp with your info on it. Then you can quickly stamp your discs with clear information.

Refresh and Update

Even if you diligently write your contact info on your disc, it will fade over time. That phone number you wrote last year might not be visible, and lead to people having to decipher what your digits are. Take the time at the beginning of the season to check your go-to discs to see how the ink is holding up. You’ll save a disc finder from having to do detective work.

Many people change their phone number when they get a new phone. If you do, remember to update your discs with your new number. It’s a bummer for me to attempt to return a disc with a number on it, only to get the message that a number is no longer in service. Or to have someone reply that it isn’t their disc.

Bye-Bye Bag

Every year, without fail, I see a Facebook post from a disc golfer saying their entire bag got stolen out of their car. Many times, their fellow club members will offer replacement discs, which is good to see. However, avoiding the theft in the first place would be preferable.

By not storing your disc in your car, you reduce the opportunities that a thief has to take your stuff. A lot of people keep their bag in their car all the time, for convenience. If that is the case, lock it in your trunk. If it isn’t visible, it will be less of a temptation for an opportunistic bad guy. Someone could still break into a locked trunk, or even your house, but they are less likely to go to that length for a bag and some plastic.

Keep Your Discs!

After a recent local tournament and league, I found 38 discs in or around a river that runs through the course. I was able to contact the owners of 28 of the discs from the phone numbers on the discs. Those are good stats, in my opinion. And they were made possible because people took the time to write their contact info on their discs. (Another seven got claimed after I posted a picture of the discs on our club Facebook page.) Increase the odds that YOU get your disc back by writing your contact info on your discs!

If you need to replace a lost disc, I know a good place to shop for a new one!

Laws Regarding Found Property

On a side note, I’ve seen a lot of debate about whether or not people make an effort to return discs that they find. Some people, as mentioned above, believe in ‘Finders, Keepers’. Others will make an effort to locate the owners. What are the legal ramifications of keeping a disc?

In Utah and some of the surrounding states, the law requires you to either notify or surrender the disc to law enforcement or a government entity. In the entire history of disc golf, I doubt this has ever happened. (Idaho law states that the item must be over $100 in value, which excludes most discs.) It may be a requirement to surrender a found disc, but those are laws with very little teeth.

Years ago, professional disc golfer Drew Gibson had a vision for a disc golf brand. He wanted to start a company whose mission was to offer a variety of high-quality discs at reasonable prices. In 2021, that dream became a reality with the creation of Finish Line Discs.

Finish Line had their first mold approved by the PDGA in January, 2022. The inaugural mold for the new brand was the Era, a control driver with a fairly neutral flight. Since then, Finish Line has added putters, mids, distance drivers, and a couple more control drivers

The Finish Line name, along with the names of its disc molds, clearly reflects a racing and race car-inspired theme. Molds like Chicane, Interval, and Sector are all tied to race track concepts, while Daytona unmistakably highlights the brand’s connection to racing.

Infinite Discs has the best selection of Finish Line Discs, and for a few days you can take 20% off our already low prices by using the discount code, Finish20. The code will be good from now until Tuesday. Check out all of the Finish Line molds HERE, then enter the code Finish20 when you check out.

Stokely Discs Takes Flight! Ching Discs Rises From The Ashes!

March 27, 2025 Mister Disc Leave a comment

In this post, we will showcase some of the new and very popular disc offerings from Stokely Discs. We will also give some background on why disc golf legend, Scott Stokely, decided to take on such an impressive project. Finally, we’ll look into Scott Stokely’s relationship with Ching Discs. Let’s begin!

Scott Stokely cares deeply about the sport of disc golf.

If you read his books, listen to his interviews, or simply just look at his knuckles, you’ll know this to be true. With his refreshing candor, including in his interview with us, you’ll know he credits disc golf, and the great people within the sport, with saving his life.

So, to say that he “cares deeply” about disc golf, might be the understatement of the year.

It is everything to him.

Combine this with his legendary status in the game and it’s easy to take Stokely at his word when he tells us he did not jump into disc manufacturing on a whim, and that he wants to go about his business differently.

In the end, the health of disc golf trumps everything.

With this in mind, he wants to make sure the pro shops and vendors, part of the life-blood of the sport, are taken care of.

In addition, he wants to ensure that all of the discs he produces are high quality and bring value to anyone that uses their hard-earned money to purchase one.

So far, based on disc ratings right here on Infinite, he’s off to a great start.

Let’s get into more detail about how he’s going about all of this and take a closer look at his discs from not one, but two disc brands…

The Idea of Stokely Discs

Originally, when he first started kicking around the idea of getting into disc manufacturing, Stokely Discs was not what he had in mind.

We’ll get into it later, but his first plan was simply to relaunch Ching Discs (a company he and a partner purchased the year prior to COVID).

Then, when COVID hit, and things came to a screeching halt, that plan was forced onto the backburner.

“When COVID hit, you could not buy plastics,” Stokely explains. This, along with any number of other complications, allowed Stokely, in a sense, to begin exploring the idea of launching his own disc manufacturing company.

If he did this, however, he would have to be able to bring something different to the table…

Stokely Puts Boots to the Ground

After his original plans were waylaid for the foreseeable future, the idea of his own line of discs came more into focus.

But before he carelessly jumped into it, he wanted to do a little market research. He started talking to the pro shops.

All told, he spent nearly 2 years talking to pro shop owners all over the country.

The feedback he received was grim.

“Pro shops face challenges. Most pro shops are struggling to keep the lights on.. It is a tough industry.” -Scott Stokely

Stokely views this as a huge impediment to the growth of disc golf.

“

Nearly every pro shop in the world is putting courses in the ground. They are running leagues. They teach classes. Putting the right discs in the hands of the beginners. They build community. They are key to the growth of the sport.”

What he found out while talking to all these pro shop owners is that their biggest competition is the manufacturers. Manufacturers are constantly coming out with limited edition stamps or other such products that the pro shops don’t carry (or, by the time they get them, it’s too late and the consumers have moved on). In addition, manufacturers can simply afford to sell their discs for less online and ship directly to the customer.

For the record, he’s not blaming them and understands how business works.

By the same token, if he was going to enter into the manufacturing side of disc golf, he knew he would have to do things differently in an effort to aid, instead of inhibit, disc golf’s growth.

Doing Things Differently

There are a few strategies that Stokely employs in order to continue growing the game while still continue manufacturing his own line of discs.

The first thing he does is to make sure to limit what a customer can buy directly from him online.

“You cannot buy a first run Stokely Disc from my website. You want a first run Stokely disc, you’ve got to walk into a pro shop, you’ve got to go to a store like Infinite, but you ain’t gonna get it from me.” -Scott Stokely

These discs are generally more coveted by the consumer. By choosing not to sell them directly from his website, he helps ensure that disc golfers put their money into these essential shops that continue disc golf’s health as a sport.

In addition to not selling first runs on his site, he’s constantly encouraging anyone that will listen to buy your discs locally rather than directly from manufacturers.

Even though it’s more profitable for him to sell directly, he puts the health of disc golf above all of that.

It was one of a few themes in his interview: Money is not what drives him.

It’s Not All About The Money

In our chat (he was very generous with his time and clearly loves to talk all things disc golf) he mentioned a few times that he was all but certain he wasn’t ever going to be rich.

In fact, he was more certain about the exact opposite of that.

“I’m going to die poor…I guarantee I’m going to die without money.”

-Scott Stokely

To be clear he wasn’t worried about it. He almost wore it as a badge of honor. The root of all evil had no power over him.

Also, with his online lessons and his other ventures, he has everything he needs.

“I’m very strange,” Scott Stokely tells me. “I have a very different approach to money. I’m fine. I’m more concerned with the long-term growth of the sport.”

This, combined with his unabashed passion for the people and the game that he credits with saving his life, helps provide some insight into what he’s all about.

As such, when he did finally get into the manufacturing side of things, he did so while still keeping the growth of the game as a top priority.

He also committed to ensuring that he would only put discs on the market that he would stand by.

Commitment to Quality

Stokely had some choice words when he thought about how some manufacturers put out some pretty awful discs.

Most of these choice words I probably shouldn’t put in writing, but “unethical” is a word that can be written and came up more than once.

He knows first hand that molds and plastics are not cheap. So, if you design a mold, the temptation to recoup your costs is very real.

Stokely and his partner made a commitment to resist this temptation. It might be a short-term loss, but he figures it’ll even out in the long run when people learn that Stokely Discs is committed to producing quality discs.

Despite the fact that he’s relatively cavalier about what happens to his own money, Stokely is very protective and cognizant about other people’s money.

As a result, he wants to make sure the discs he puts out are good. When people put life hours into work that may result in one of his discs, he wants that disc to count.

And the early returns are very promising. If you look at the Stokely Discs lineup, you will see a lot of 5-star ratings for his discs.

Before we get into those, let’s look at another line of discs that Stokely is associated with in Ching Discs…

Scott Stokely and Ching Discs?

If we were to do a word association game and the words presented were “Scott Stokely”, I would be very surprised if anybody’s response was “Ching Discs”.

But maybe someday it will be?

As it stands today, and for the foreseeable future, Scott Stokely is the proud owner of Ching Discs.

Wrapped up in his origin story with Stokely Discs is this story of Ching Discs. Originally, Stokely’s plan was to only resume the manufacturing of Ching Discs which he bought just before COVID.

Then, once COVID hit and everything shut down, plastics were virtually impossible to purchase.

That’s when the idea of Stokely Discs really started to take root. But, given the fact that Ching had already come and gone in the disc golf realm, it would be reasonable to wonder why he brought it back at all…

Why Buy Ching Discs in the First Place?

Why buy a disc manufacturing company that already decided to call it quits?

This is a great question that Stokely has a good answer for.

It’s because they were very popular.

“If the company shut down because people didn’t like the discs, obviously I wasn’t going to buy the discs and release them. That would be really dumb. They were popular…” – Scott Stokely

The truth is, the previous owner shut down the company for personal reasons (which Stokely does not pry into).

And having been active in the disc golf scene when they were popular (over a decade ago) he remembers how well received they were by the disc golf community.

As a result, he was happy to make the purchase when he did.

And while we are clearing up misconceptions…

Ching Discs Are Made in America?

Yes, Ching Discs are made in America!

Then why, you ask, does mine say “Made in China” right on the back?

As usual, Stokely has a very reasonable explanation.

“All the molds were over in China when we bought the company. The first thing we did was to ship the molds from China back to America to run in our facilities. They are all American made. But that is why it says “Made in China”. They are the actual original molds.” -Scott Stokely

Stokely goes on to explain that he and his partner own all of the molds and there is no third party manufacturing. It’s all done by them in the United States.

Stokely Discs and Ching Discs Plastics

Right now, Stokely Discs and Ching Discs have four plastic types at their disposal.

Stokely was quick to remind me, however, that they have more in the works.

The plastics they have right now include:

Strato – This is their base plastic. It combines a good tack and grip with nice flexibility and durability.

Thermo – This is a premium blend that combines durability with excellent grip in many different weather conditions.

Meso – This is their translucent, high durability offering.

Meso Soft – This is a soft, foldable version of their Meso plastic.

Stokely Discs Current Molds!

Stokely Discs has four molds that are currently available.

If you check out the ratings, you will find that they are all very well-received and quite popular.

As we previously discussed, Stokely is unwilling to put a bad disc on the market.

Let’s begin with the putter and work our way up…

The Wren – (flight ratings 3, 3.5, -.5, 1) This is a beadless putter that comes on the slightly shallower side for players that prefer that hand feel. This coupled with the nice feel of their Strato plastic leaves a good impression. The Wren is both a putting putter and throwing putter. For throwing, The Wren can handle a lot of power and flies straight and true. It’s an all-around strong debut putter!
The Owl – (flight ratings 4, 3, .5, 3.5) A classic, overstable approach disc that flies true both forehand and backhand. It is great for flex shots and can take a ton of torque or power without fear of burning over.
The Cardinal (flight ratings 5, 4, 0, 2.5) Right now this disc has 5 ratings on Infinite and all are 5 stars! That’s probably because it finds a beautiful balance of stability in its flight. It feels great both backhand and forehand and is reliable in headwinds, tailwinds, crosswinds, or no winds!
The Lark (flight ratings 7, 5, -1.5, 1.5) Stokely calls this one the perfect disc for the hyzer-flip and it’s hard to argue. Similar to his other discs it walks the line between understable and stable resulting in a straight-flying, reliable control driver with consistent flight for each shot.

Ching Discs

Stokely did not tell me which mold he would release next from his Ching Discs lineup. But he did tell me he’s excited about it.

For now, let’s take a look at the one he has on the market currently…

Juju

The Juju (flight ratings 3, 4, -1, 1) As can be seen in the image, The Juju is a unique mold in disc golf. It comes with indentations at varying depths for players to be able to grip the disc well based on varying hand sizes or shots. It’s a very straight flyer that is also quite beginner-friendly. It comes in all 4 available plastics and Stokely himself uses it in Meso Soft for those delicate approach shots that don’t get up and roll!

Scott Stokely, His Discs and His Legacy.

If you explore the deep recesses of the internet (not usually recommended) with “Scott Stokely” as your focus, it is absolutely littered with accounts of people in disc golf having overwhelmingly positive experiences with him.

You’ll hear of countless autographs, donations of time and money, and unsolicited lessons. You’ll hear of kind words and kind gestures, all from a person that is genuine and sincere.

When you truly love something, as Stokely does with disc golf, then it’s not a job or an inconvenience. It’s like taking care of one of your own children. You do it without questioning or expecting anything in return.

And yet, despite his giving ways, Stokely will tell you that he’s gotten more from disc golf and its people than he could ever give back.

Given all this and more, I absolutely take him on his word when he tells me that he is eschewing monetary motivations when making his own line of discs. He is going about his business with the health of disc golf at the forefront of his thoughts.

To do so, he is encouraging others to continue to keep the local shops, courses and leagues thriving. He’s also planning to continue generating high quality discs that he knows disc golfers will appreciate and use.

To date, the early returns are very promising. And Stokely’s enthusiasm suggests that his next 4 discs (coming soon) will be just as good.

When you add it all up, you’re left with a disc golf legend that is only adding to his legendary status in the game.

He’s continually doing his very best to give back to the game that has given so very much to him.

Thank you all for reading. If you have an experience with Scott Stokely or his lines of discs, we’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Introducing Infinite Discs’ Nathan Queen

March 26, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?

Although Nathan calls Kernersville, North Carolina home, his trailer is his home when he on the road as a touring professional.

Can you tell us about your family?

His dad, Russell, also lives in Kernersville. He has a sister, Jenifer, who manages to travel even more he does. She has traveled around the world and loves to go on long hikes.

How and when did you start playing disc golf?

Nathan first heard about disc golf as an early teen, at Carolina Bible Camp in Moxville, North Carolina, around 2003. His interests at the time were baseball and motocross, and only playing disc golf occasionally. However, when he moved to New Bern, North Carolina, in 2013, he started playing more.

When he arrived at New Bern there was a doubles tournament going on, which he had never played before. He decided to give it a try, and has been playing ever since.

When did you start playing professionally?

After playing regularly in 2013, he registered as a pro in 2014. He started touring in 2019.

What is the highlight of your disc golf career so far?

In 2021, Nathan put on a spectacular performance at the Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship, winning the tournament and gaining many fans. To take down the victory, he had to out-duel some of the top names in the sport: Drew Gibson, Paul McBeth, Adam Hammes and Gannon Buhr. The win earned Nathan $30,000, which was the largest payout in disc golf history up to that point. (Video of the final round of the tournament can be found on YouTube HERE.)

Nathan and his dog, Sadie

How did it feel the first time you took cash in a tournament?

Nathan said he was happy the first time he took cash in a tournament. He had been playing to have fun, so getting cash was a nice bonus! Getting paid meant that he was good enough to compete and win at a professional level, which was very satisfying.

Who are some of the disc golfers (or other people) that you look up to, or who influenced you in your career?

Living in North Carolina, Nathan got to play with and play against Brian Schweberger and Barry Schultz regularly. Nathan learned a lot by playing with them.

What are your disc golf goals for this year? How much will you compete?

Nathan will be striving for consistent play this year, and to have fun. He came back from an injury which made playing well a little more difficult. Now his goal is to play to the standards that he knows he can achieve.

This year means more traveling for Nathan. He will be following the Tour, except for the western swing and Europe. However, he will still be playing various A-tiers for those weeks

What is your diet and training like? Are you strict about staying in shape for disc golf?

Although he hasn’t been super strict about his diet, he has been doing better at eating well. His girlfriend, FPO player Rebecca Cox, has been making home-cooked meals, which helps them both eat better.

Nathan, Rebecca, and Sadie

What do you think disc golf will look like in 5 years (competition, contracts, growth)

Nathan believes that competition will has improved more recently because people have been starting to play younger. He thinks that trend will continue. If more young players keep turning pro, Nathan hopes it might draw attract new and larger sponsors, and lead to bigger tournaments for the pros.

What Infinite Discs molds have you thrown? What are some of your favorites?

The Infinite Discs Alpaca has been a favorite of Nathan’s since they came out. He also throws a Centurion and a Czar. He really likes how the Czar handles the wind and has a consistent fade. It is one of his top discs.

Any shout-outs or any closing comments for your fans?

Nathan really appreciates his sponsors, Infinite Discs, Dark Ace Disc Golf, Local Line Apparel, Fossa Disc Golf, and FlighTowel. He really appreciates all of his fans who show him support. It was a great experience to have people reach out during WACO (which Nathan had recently played) to let him know they enjoy seeing him on coverage of the tournament.
