Let’s face it, surprises can be a lot of fun! Especially when it comes to trying new discs. If you are a disc golf enthusiast or simply desire to try something new and unexpected, you’re going to want to check out Infinite Discs mystery disc add-on. What is a mystery disc and what makes it so exciting? Let’s explore Infinite Discs’ mystery disc add on.
And this weekend, Mystery Disc add ons are only $9!
A great time to try a brand new premium plastic disc at a fraction of the normal retail price. To get your $9 Mystery Disc, simply click the “mystery disc” add on before checkout with any purchase you make until July 28th.
What are mystery discs?
Infinite’s mystery discs are just that – a surprise! When you order a disc from Infinite you have the option to add a mystery disc to your order when you checkout. We don’t let you know what the disc will look like, nor how it will fly. We only guarantee that it will be a premium-plastic disc.
What makes mystery discs fun?
You might get a special tournament stamp. You might get a unique stamp. You might get colorful disc. Possibly glow plastic. You might even get a disc from a brand you’ve never heard of. You might even get a disc that hasn’t even been released yet. And you might end up with your new go-to disc! The fun part is not knowing what disc you will get until your order arrives.
How Are Mystery Discs Selected?
We have a large selection of mystery discs set aside for Mystery Disc add-ons. We are able to offer these discs at an ultra-low price because we generally do not have to add much to the shipping cost.
These discs are generally selected for a few reasons:
They are a new product or something that we or a disc golf manufacturer want to promote and get into the hands of disc golfers who otherwise might not try it. This is a great way to introduce disc golfers to new products and lesser-known brands.
They are discs that we have a surplus of. Managing inventory in the retail industry can be challenging, and knowing how many discs to order and how much demand there will be is always uncertain. We do not like running out of inventory. After all, we are Infinite Discs, and we want to make sure we always have exactly what you are looking for in stock. Sometimes we overstock certain items, and rather than have them take up valuable space on our shelves, it is better to liquidate them through the sale of mystery discs.
These are not bad discs. They are simply discs that may not have received as much hype or promotion. Many people who purchase mystery discs end up finding a new favorite disc that they otherwise never would have considered.
Infinite Discs Mystery Discs are always made from premium plastic. They can be putters, midranges, or drivers, but they are most often drivers.
Should I Select a Mystery Disc Add-On?
If you love trying new discs and getting them at an ultra-low price, then yes. If you are looking for something specific, then no, as you are not likely to receive exactly what you were hoping for in a mystery disc.
Other Ways to Get Mystery Discs
If mystery discs are your thing, another great way to get even more of them is by purchasing an Infinite Discs Mystery Box. We have many different mystery boxes available depending on your budget.
Every year we like to look at the best sellers and the highest rated disc golf molds to see what it hot. We present this information in a series of blogs. This week we’re doing it again. We’ve already covered the top putters and midrange discs. Now we’ll take a mid-year look at the best fairway drivers 2026. Let’s start with the best fairway drivers, often called control drivers, for last year
Why Fairway Drivers
Fairway drivers fit the gap between midrange discs and distance drivers. With a more narrow rim than distance drivers, many people with small hand prefer them. They are often referred to as ‘control drivers’ because they are easier to control the shape than distance drivers.
Control drivers typically range from speed 6 to speed 9. Like all discs, they come in a variety of stabilities. They can be used to fight through thick woods or thrown on an open fairway. Approach shots are also in the control driver wheelhouse. They will skip farther than mids or putters, so that needs to be taken into consideration.
Best Fairway Drivers 2025
My go-to fairway driver, the Sphinx, took the number one spot! I recommend everyone give the Sphinx a try. If you are a more advanced player, look for more overstable plastics, like glow metal flake C-Blend or Halo S-Blend. Or a more flippy plastic if you’re looking for a roller or big turnover shot.
The Crave moved up several spots to take second place. It is a straight-flying mold that works great with a backhand or forehand throw. For MVP fans, the Crave is compared to a seasoned Servo.
Completing the podium is the Innova Teebird. Most of us would consider the Teebird an ‘old-school’ disc. It was approved in 1999, and has been popular since it was released. It is a speed 7 disc that has a bit of overstability to give it a reliable fade.
The Doomsday Discs Chemtrail made the list last year. It was released in 2024, so it had its first full year of sales in 2025. It proved to be a popular mold!
The Latitude 64 River moved up a bit from the previous year, breaking into the top five.
Best Fairway Drivers 2026
The Axiom Bokeh will have its first full year of sales this year, and it is off to a great start. The Bokeh takes the top spot so far, with about 4% of all fairway driver sales.
Another Axiom mold took second place. The Crave has a decade head start over Bokeh, and has been a popular fairway driver, took the bridesmaid position last year, too.
The Sphinx slipped a little, moving from first place last year, to third this year. Still a good showing for the understable fairway driver from Infinite Discs.
A perennial favorite, the Innova TeeBird, comes in fourth so far this year. It will likely be on the list forever.
Doomsday Discs has their Chemtrail, which made the top five list for 2026. It has turn, but not too much, and a mild fade. The Chemtrail can be found in the bags of newer players and veterans alike.
Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50 July 2026
Old-school disc golf brands Innova and Discraft top the list. The two companies are responsible for a little under half of all fairway drivers sold so far this year. The third podium member is Infinite Discs. While Infinite is available for sale at disc golf retailers around the world, a majority of the sales of our own brand comes from our own website.
Highest Rated Disc Golf Fairway Drivers
One of the biggest perks of shopping on the Infinite Discs website is the ability to browse real player reviews and see how each disc is rated before you buy. As more players share their experiences, those ratings become an incredibly useful snapshot of how the disc golf community feels about specific molds. The rating system also ties into the Infinite Rewards program, which lets you earn points for leaving reviews or making purchases. If you haven’t explored Infinite Rewards yet, it’s worth a look (click HERE). Your feedback not only earns rewards but also helps strengthen our growing library of disc reviews.
With that in mind, we decided to dig into several disc categories to highlight the molds that rise to the top. With our ratings system, we weight molds that have more reviews heavier than those with fewer reviews. Let’s kick things off with the highest‑rated disc golf fairway drivers of all time.
Highest Rated Fairway Drivers
The Firebird and Teebird tied for first place with 4.74 stars out of 5. The Firebird is a reliable overstable driver that can still be thrown by newer players, because of its lower speed. It is excellent for headwind shots and spike hyzers.
The third highest rated control driver is the Thunderbird. It is like a faster Teebird. Less overstable than the Firebird, you can get more distance with the Thunderbird.
You could bag all three of these molds and cover a big variety of shots.
The Innova Firebird takes first, of course, with the Dynamic Discs Felon coming in second place. The popular Felon was created to battle the Kansas winds, and it does a great job. If you’re looking for a disc that will not turn and give you a beefy fade, check out the Felon in Lucid plastic.
The Goliath Discs Chainbreaker is the third highest rated very overstable fairway driver. It lives up to its name, and will not back down from the fiercest wind on its way to the chains.
Obviously, the Champion Teebird and Champion Thunderbird will podium with this category, since they were the highest rated overall. Taking third place is the Discraft Undertaker. The Undertaker has a little more turn than the top two discs, but still has the reliable fade. The Undertaker will be celebrating its tenth birthday this year, having been released in 2016.
People are not only buying a lot of Sphinx’s, they are liking them a lot! The flippy I-Blend Sphinx is the highest rated understable fairway driver with 4.87 out of 5 stars. I have several Sphinx in I-Blend (and other plastic types for different situations.)
Taking second place is the Thought Space Athletics Mantra. This popular mold has a good amount of turn and very little fade. It flies straight for newer players, and a great shapable tool for more experienced players.
Rounding out the top three is the Axiom Insanity. It was Axiom’s first distance/control driver. Like the Mantra, the Insanity works fine for an intermediate player, giving them a straight flight. Advanced players will unlock its understability, and can use the Insanity for turnover shots.
We’ll continue with our series that examines the top discs to see how they rank mid-year. Last time, we highlighted the top putters of the year so far. Now we’re shifting gears and diving into the best midrange discs for 2026.
Best Midrange Discs
Midrange discs are the workhorses of disc golf. They are used for consistent control shots, where placement is important. They come in a wide range of flight ratings, giving players options for almost any shot. While you can throw them off the tee, most players pull out their midranges for their second or third shots to set up an easy putt.
Before we break down this year’s standouts, let’s take a quick look back at last year’s midranges and which molds were on top.
Best Midrange Discs 2025
Let’s take a look at the numbers for last year:
The Buzzz is more than double the sales of the second place Axiom Hex. Seeing the Buzzz on top is never a surprise, since it has always been a very popular putter.
The Hex took the number two spot for the second time, and sold nearly twice as many discs as the third and fourth place Innova Fox and Innova Mako3. The Discraft Buzzz SS was just a tick behind the Mako3 and Fox, and was fifth place overall.
The Buzzz has been a popular disc since it was released 22 years ago. It has a fairly neutral flight, having a touch of turn and a bit of fade. Those flight numbers make it easy to shape your shots. The beadless rim feels great in your hand and makes for a smooth release. It comes in a huge variety of plastic types.
Now let’s see how 2026 numbers look:
The top five molds remained unchanged from last year. What did change was the percentage of total disc sales
Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50
Innova had nine molds in the top 50, taking first place. Discraft was right on their Innova’s heels, with 8 molds. MVP and Infinite tied at five. Those four brands represent over half of all discs sold. There were nine brands that had one mold in the top 50, including Loop Discs and Doomsday Discs.
Brands in the Top 50 for 2026
The top 5 brands remained unchanged for the first half of 2026. In fact, only Innova numbers changed, increasing by one. Nerf’s new midrange disc made the list!
Highest Rated Midrange Discs
In addition to sales data, we also like to look at the highest rated midrange discs. This is made possible because of Infinite Discs Rewards Program, which rewards customers who leave reviews by giving them Infinite Points. Points can also be earned for other actions, like purchases and filling out profile information. Check out the Infinite Rewards Program HERE.
Highest Rated Midrange Discs
The Discraft Buzzz is highest rated midrange disc, with 587 reviews. That many ratings give us a high confidence that the rating reflects a consensus among a broad portion of disc golfers.
The second-highest mold is the Innova Mako3. The Innova Roc3 comes in third.
The Dynamic Discs Justice takes the top spot in this category. It is a great in a headwind and overall a strong utility disc. The Justice was just out of the top 50 molds.
In second place is the Innova Pig, while the Dynamic Discs Verdict took third.
There are numerous molds in this category with a perfect five-star rating. That is actually rather common when a disc doesn’t have very many reviews. But, we’ll run with it and list the top three with the most reviews.
Taking first is the relatively new Stokely Discs Cardinal. Not even two years old, this mold was one of the first to be produced by Scott Stokely in his line of discs. It holds it’s line well and delivers a solid fade at the end of flight. It is available in their Thermo plastic.
The Buzzz and Mako3 are obviously going to be on top of this list, and joining them is the straight-flying mold from Infinite Discs, the Chariot. Like the Buzzz and Mako3, the Chariot has a neutral flight and is perfect for straight tunnel shots or shaping left or right angles.
Once again we have some of the highest rated discs that have five star ratings with few ratings. Here are the results:
The Doomsday Discs Scavenger is easy to throw midrange that is a great tailwind disc, or perfect for hyzer flips. The name is right on brand for Doomsday, which has an end-of-world vibe. It holds the first-place spot.
It’s time for out mid-year peak at the top-selling discs so far this year. Over the next few weeks we will be posting data so you can see which discs top the lists. This might give you ideas for new discs to try. We’ll start with putters. Let’s get to the data! We’ll start by looking at the top putters for the full year of 2025
Top 50 Disc Golf Putters for 2025
The top 10 putters represent about half of all putters sold in 2025. Leading the pack is the Discraft Zone, the popular throwing putter favored by pros and amateurs alike. Just a tick behind the Zone in sales is the Axiom Pixel. The Pixel was the top disc for 2024.
The last podium spot for last year belongs to the Gateway Wizard. The Wizard is the oldest mold in the top 10, receiving its PDGA approval in 2002. It is a best seller for Gateway.
The Pixel is one of the newer molds, getting PDGA approved late in 2023. It has been a popular mold from the beginning.
Top Putter in 2026
Now we can see which molds players are choosing so far in 2026. Maybe a new mold came out that is fire? Maybe a pro is having a breakout year and people want to try what they throw? Maybe there is an amazing stamp or plastic type that is all the rage? Whatever the reason for buying particular molds, here are the top putters of 2026 so far.
A bulk of the top 10 molds are consistently some of the best sellers. This time, taking their turns at the top, are two of Infinite’s popular putters, the Tomb and the Alpaca. Those two putters alone made up a little over 10% of all putter sales. The next three molds, Pixel, Luna, and the Zone, make up another 10% of sales.
Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50 For 2025
Let’s check out the brand representation in the top 50. No surprise for the number one spot. Once again, Discraft runs away from the competition with an impressive eight molds. Those molds are the Zone, Luna, Zone SS, Ricky Wysocki Prototype, Kratos, Fierce, Zone OS, and the Roach. The lowest rated of the eight Discraft discs is the Roach, which is in 40th place.
Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50 2026
A couple Discraft molds dropped out of the top 50, leaving the former leader tied with MVP with 6 each. Axiom cam in third with 5. Those three brands had a third of all the molds in the top 50.
Highest Rated Disc Golf Putters
One of the biggest perks of shopping on the Infinite Discs website is the ability to browse real player reviews and see how each disc is rated before you buy. As more players share their experiences, those ratings become an incredibly useful snapshot of how the disc golf community feels about specific molds. The rating system also ties into the Infinite Rewards program, which lets you earn points for leaving reviews or making purchases. If you haven’t explored Infinite Rewards yet, it’s worth a look (click HERE). Your feedback not only earns rewards but also helps strengthen our growing library of disc reviews.
With that in mind, we decided to dig into several disc categories to highlight the molds that rise to the top. Let’s kick things off with the highest‑rated disc golf putters of all time.
Highest Rated Putter of All Time
It should come as no surprise that the highest rated putter is also the best seller for the year. The Discraft Zone has an Infinite rating of 4.88 out of five stars. According to the Infinite website, the Zone is “a very overstable putter that is good for headwinds, strategic fades, forehand throws, flick putts, and slamming into chains at just the right angle.” With that versatility, it is no wonder that the Zone sells so well, and is rated so highly.
In the Extra-Beefcake division, the Prodigy A-1 has a perfect record with 5 out of 5 stars. It is just what you need if you want to be able to throw in any headwind. The former champ, the Goliath Pillar, drops to second place with 4.90 stars. The Prodigy Distortion is in third at 4.75.
Check out the list of Highest Rated Very Overstable Putters HERE
Highest Rated Overstable Putters
There are numerous molds in this category that have perfect 5.0 ratings. Many of them have a single review. The most reviews with a perfect rating is four, for the Latitude 64 Peak. For putters with more reviews, the Prodigy PA-2 has a rating of 4.94, and both the Axiom Envy and the Doomsday Discs Area 51 are rated at 4.90
Check out the list of Highest Rated Overstable Putters HERE
Highest Rated Stable Putters
Two Infinite molds sit on top of the sable discs category. The flat-topped Tomb and the beadless Alpaca have been best-sellers from the beginning. The Thought Space Athletics Praxis, as a popular drive and approach putter, comes in third.
Check out the list of Highest Rated Stable Putters HERE
Highest Rated Understable Putters
If we overlook the single-review, five-star rating for the Latitude 64 Beetle, we find the slightly-more-frequently-reviewed Westside Swan in first place. The Prodigy PA-5 would then be in second place, and the EV-7 Mobius takes third place.
Check out the list of Highest Rated Understable Putters HERE
Let us know what you think!
Those are our lists of the top putters with sales and ratings data. Now we want to hear from YOU!
1 – What is your favorite/go-to throwing putter?
2 – What is your favorite/go-to putting putter?
We chose four random commenters and gave them and Infinite Discs gift card:
Braden S – Who throws a PGA putter that came in a starter pack, and putts with a Prodigy mold
Topher G – He is experimenting with several throwing molds, but his go-to is a Zone. He putts with an Active Baseline Sensei (or Glow for a night round).
Evan G – He favors Discraft, throwing a Zone and putting with a Roach.
Brandon E – His go-to putter is a Judge in Hybrid plastic and his throwing putter is a Yikun Fu Sang in Glaze
I’ve heard disc golfers say that the most difficult throw in disc golf is to throw a straight flight. Although course designers have a lot of obstacles that force us to shape our shots, they will also include holes where players have to negotiate straight, narrow tunnels. Those are the times that it is nice to have a straight-flying disc.
Why is Throwing Straight so Difficult?
When a disc moves through the air at high speed, the physics of its shape and rotation typically cause it to curve instead of flying in a perfectly straight line. A wider rimmed disc (higher speed discs) are typically even more difficult to throw straight.
In this blog we will define what we consider to be a straight flyer. Then we can look at the most popular straight-flying discs.
What Does ‘Straight-Flying’ Mean?
We are going to define a straight-flying disc as one with little or no turn (the drift to the right during the high-speed part of the flight, with a right-handed backhand shot), and little or no fade (drift to the left as it slows down). That should give you a fairly straight flight. You could also achieve a straight flight with a more understable (more turn) disc that you release on a hyzer angle. Then the disc can achieve a flight called ‘flip to flat’. It rotates until it is flying flat (horizontally), and it holds that line until it slows down.
Other discs have a turn and fade that makes the disc end up as if it were thrown straight. Although that flight would not be effective in a narrow tunnel, it still gives is virtually a straight disc.
Infinite Discs Reviews
Our website gives users an opportunity to leave reviews for discs and accessories. Those reviews have valuable information that can help you as you search for a new disc. We also reward reviewers with points that can be redeemed for story credit! More information about our rewards program HERE
One of the categories that people indicate when reviewing a disc is how the disc flies for them. Is it overstable? Understable? Straight? We can then use those indicators to see which discs are the straightest fliers. Below are the results.
Straightest Disc Golf Putters
MVP Nomad
The Nomad is a beaded putter in the James Conrad line. It has a straight flight with some torque resistance for power throws. The stamp is part of the line that includes some of James’ favorite places to travel. This one features Arches National Park here in Utah.

Conclusion
Some of the drivers on the list have flight numbers that don’t seem like I would consider them straight-flying discs. Others, like the putters and mids are a lot easier to see, since they have straight flight numbers. My straight putt/approach disc, an R-Pro Dart, didn’t make the list. Neither did my straight driver, a Centurion. How about yours? What are your go-to discs for holding a straight line? Let us know in the comments!
To Clint Easterly (aka BlitzDG), there is no confusion when it comes to understanding why people come to his YouTube channel.
Distance and Power.
People want more of it, and Easterly, a proud member of the Infinite Team, wants to get you there.
And with a max disc speed in the mid-80’s and a goal to break 80 mph from a standstill, Easterly has clearly figured some things out.
What’s even more surprising is that he’s done all this starting in his mid 30’s and he’s only been at it for 3 and a half years. Normally, that’s not a recipe for athletic success.
Does it hurt that he’s built like a brick house and has a keen interest in his own fitness?
Certainly not. In fact, keeping fit is part of the distance equation.
But that’s only part of it. And Easterly, who is also a self-taught “student” of biomechanics, has sifted through a lot of disc golf tutorials and has managed to mostly separate the wheat from the chaff.
What he brings to his loyal viewers, is not only a curated list of the best drills to get you the distance you crave, but also the creativity and understanding to devise his own drills and fill in some gaps.
Along the way he is bucking some disc golf conventions, building community, and providing some much needed inspiration to the people in his orbit.
So, let’s get you a healthy dose of all of it as well. Let’s go behind the curtain with Clint to see what he’s about. Then, let’s point you in the right direction so you can unlock some of his teachings and add some distance to your own game too!
Clint Easterly and Infinite – A Perfect Match
Some might call Clint’s pairing with Infinite mutually beneficial. Others would probably say it’s a perfect match.
Long before Easterly ever joined up with Infinite Discs he had a deep appreciation for their discs, and one disc in particular.
“I’ve always loved Infinite Discs. I truly think they’re great. And, to me, the Luster C-Blend Emperor is the best distance driver in disc golf.”
Important Note: We have timed up the release of this post with Clint’s next drop of signature discs! Given they only lasted days last time, we can’t guarantee they’ll be there, but be sure to check out Clint’s Signature Pro Page to get your hands on his signature disc!
Easterly doesn’t deal in hyperbole and he speaks his mind. He won’t push a product he doesn’t believe in.
“I don’t like peddling crap,” he tells me.
So, you can imagine, years later, after he had moved up the Infinite ranks, how elated he was to get his own signature stamp on that very disc he had found to be better than all others.
It was a momentous occasion for him. A powerful indicator that he was doing something right.
There was only one problem, if that’s what you want to call it.
They sold out in the first few days.
And this puts a spotlight on another ingredient to Easterly’s growth and success…
Building Disc Golf Community
Clint builds community.
It comes naturally to him.
Easterly genuinely cares about the people that come to his channel, take his private coaching, or somehow come into his world by other means.
He wants you to succeed. He knows that there are no quick fixes in disc golf. You can’t just watch his, or others’ videos once and expect to see immediate results.
You need to stick with it and put in the time. And for many, in our harried lives, being self motivated to do a drill for a month isn’t so easy.
Clint knows this and is there to provide encouragement. Whether it’s finding the positives in what his students are doing and pushing them to keep going, or answering (nearly) every comment/question he gets on his channel, he’s there to support you.
So, you can imagine the response that happens when a guy like that puts out a signature disc and the community has a chance to return the favor.
A thousand discs get swept up in a matter of days.
Community and inspiration are nice and all, but it doesn’t amount to much if you don’t know what you’re talking about. We all know how much information is out there. If you want to separate yourself, you have to know what you’re doing.
Let’s take a look at some of his ideas and see what he’s telling people so that you/they can get more distance on your throws.
Distance Technique: What’s Real and What’s Myth?
Being relatively new to the sport, and having a natural interest in form and mechanics, has helped Clint to lend a fresh set of eyeballs to some of disc golf’s conventional wisdom.
One of the major concepts that he has taken on is the idea that our distance comes from our legs.
If you think about it, that seems to be the case, or at least the thinking, in almost every athletic endeavor. Our legs are far more powerful than our upper body and so these must be the source of most of our power.
In disc golf, Clint begs to differ.
And while he doesn’t refute that some of our power comes from our base, he’s saying that a lot more of it comes from our upper body than you think.
In essence, it all boils down to timing and coordination.
If you can sync up and string together this series of upper body movements, you are going to get a major boost in your speed and distance.
And that’s what his drills are designed to do. These drills help get your timing in line so you can maximize your upper body efficiency.
They also allow you to deemphasize some of the other concepts that people think matter more than they do. Ideas like whether your front foot is open or your back foot is open, how much your hip rotates, and more…
To be clear, he’s not saying they don’t matter at all. He’s only saying that they matter much less than people think. He calls it “icing on the cake.” And by clearing some of these thoughts from your mind, it allows you to focus on what matters most. Your timing.
Clint puts what is important in rather simple terms. “You need to start things at the right time. Keep them in order. And then stop things at the right time.”
In the following video, Clint breaks down some of these disc golf myths, if you will. He shows you how much of a limited impact they have on timing so that you can focus on the upper body timing that actually does matter.
In the end, we get a dose of Clint’s understanding of the importance of getting his viewers motivated and inspired.
“So this year, I want you guys to stop saying you can’t do it. Stop saying ‘I’ll never throw 400. I can’t throw 400. And start saying ‘I know I’m strong enough to. I have to learn how. I have to learn the sequencing and timing. And I have to drill this into my body…’ That is the most important thing in the disc golf backhand. And that’s what I wanted to get across in this video.”
What is Coming Down the Line With BlitzDG?
First and foremost, Infinite and Clint will be sure to continue to collaborate to keep the content coming for you.
This will also entail some more drops of Clint’s beloved Luster C-Blend Emperor with his signature stamp. Check out the Clint Easterly (Blitz DG) Signature Series page to keep up with Clint’s next drop of discs. (Note: The new drop happened when this post was released!)
In addition, Clint will be taking on putting. He recognizes its importance and he struggles with it on the course. And with this in mind, he wants to take you on his personal quest to improve his putting. He plans to continue to build it up so that he can rely on it when it matters most.
Hopefully, along the way, his viewers will be able to glean valuable information (and motivation) to improve their own putting as well.
He’s also got some continued collaboration with TechDisc that he’s excited about.
And, of course, he’ll continue his quest to add more speed and distance and transfer that knowledge to his viewers…
Clint and Infinite Discs – In Summary!
Clint Easterly (aka BlitzDG) is proud to be partnering with Infinite and is a perfect fit.
Not only has he long-admired the Infinite line of discs, but it just so happens that his all-time favorite distance driver is a part of this line. And now, due to his prodigious rise in the world of disc golf distance, he has teamed up with us and landed his very own Signature Luster C-Blend Emperor.
It doesn’t get much better than that in the disc golf world.
Moving forward, Clint is going to continue doing what he does best. He is going to continue pushing distance boundaries and finding you new ways to get your form, technique and timing to click and ultimately improve.
He’s also going to continue building community through his YouTube Channel, his private classes, his collaborations and more.
And, just to put himself out there, Clint is also going to take you on a journey in a venture that doesn’t come as naturally to him. Namely, disc golf putting.
All this and more have Clint excited and optimistic for a great year (and beyond).
Be sure to continue to follow his work. Then, alongside Clint, you can continue to elevate your game and get the results you’re looking for.
You can have the best drive you’ve ever thrown, but if you aren’t close enough to putt into the basket, you are going to have to make an approach shot. Make a good approach and you can drop your putter in the baskets. Mess up and you might end up working hard to get in the basket.
Approach shots are important, and which disc you chose to approach can give you the confidence you need to make a good shot. In this blog we will talk about approach discs and explore which ones are rated the highest, and which ones sell the most. That will let you know which discs other people have found success with, and can help shape your decisions.
Wait, what IS an approach disc?
OK, you really could use any disc to try to land near the basket to give yourself a putt. If you have to cover a lot of ground before you get to the basket, you might need to use a higher-speed disc. For shorter, technical shots you’ll likely use a midrange or putter. (Of course, there are exceptions, even for shorter shots.) For this blog, we are going to be talking about putters, since they are categorized as putt/approach discs. That should give us the most accurate results.
There were two players on my card at league this week that bag a Berg. It is the go-to for several members of our club. I see a lot of Bergs at tournaments and other events. It is a low glide, low speed putter that will handle high-power throws. It is a great mold for accurate approach shots.
The PA-3 is a beaded putter that flies super straight. Its straight flight and mellow fade make a great combination for tactical approaches. It comes in a variety of plastics, so you can get the exact feel that you need to give you the confidence to attack the basket.
A favorite of Simon Lizotte, the Proxy is another straight disc that can handle some torque. It has the same core as the Envy. The Proxy can serve you well as a putting putter, drives off the tee, or accurate approach shots.
This straight-flying disc can handle forehand and backhand shots with ease. It flies straight with minimal fade. The beadless Praxis can be used by people of all skill levels. Plus, with Thought Space Athletics, you’re sure to get a disc with some of the best stamps in the business!
The Watt is similar to the Ohm and the Pilot. The beadless putter has a deep rim that will give you deadly-accurate straight flights. Its neutral flight numbers mean you can shape your shots and approaches with confidence.

A Prodigy’s collaboration with NERF to make disc golf discs is certainly an unusual partnership. But, why not? We’ve seen a square disc recently, a six-sided disc, and even a heart-shaped disc. Why not a foam disc? After all, NERF foam is synonymous with all kinds of fun and games.
I really didn’t know what to expect from the new discs. I was picturing soft foam discs, like NERF gun ammo. That was not quite correct. It is soft, but a lot more rigid than I was expecting.
Foam Discs
The new NERF disc golf discs are being billed as being soft, lightweight, and they float. They are not as soft as I guessed, but they are softer than regular disc golf plastics. And they are definitely light. Prodigy says the new discs are all about 100g. That is much lighter than any other disc I’ve thrown.
I tossed my starter set discs on a scale and got the following weights:
Driver: 100g
Midrange: 94g
Putter: 99
PDGA Legal
Despite their ultra light weights, the three discs are PDGA approved. I don’t know that people who attend sanctioned tournaments are in the target audience for the new molds. But, if someone wanted to use them at their next C-tier, they could.
The feel of the disc took a few throws to get used to. Part of that is because of the light weight. The bigger part is because of the material used to make the disc. It is called Soft Flight and it is grippy and squishy. It is closer to plastic than foam. More like their NERF footballs.
Who Are They Made For?
The NERF discs are perfect for kids and beginners. The light weight will help people in those demographics get more distance than a regular plastic disc. The putters and mids can also be used by people of all skill levels as catch discs or throwing to each other to warm up.
I was surprised that the flight numbers for all three discs are pretty accurate. Even the driver at 100g had some stability to its flight, true to its numbers. I assumed that a disc that light would be nothing but flippy. It really does fade pretty good.
The midrange disc does have some flip to it. It can easily thrown as a flip to flat shot for maximum distance. In a headwind, the understability would be challenging to control for a stronger player.
I like the flight of the putter. It flew straight off the tee as well as inside the circle. The putter feels good in my hand and is very comfortable to putt with. When the disc hits the chains it has a much softer sound to it than when a plastic disc hits.
The mold is officially called the Prodigy NERF Putter. It has a neutral flight, flying straight with a mild finish. You could shape shots reliably and use the putter for a variety of shots.
This is called the Prodigy NERF Midrange. It has the most flip of all the discs in the set. It is really easy to get a nice S-curve for longer throws. If you want maximum flights, put the disc on a hyzer angle and let ‘er rip.
The Prodigy NERF Driver was fun to see how it handled different angles. On anhyzer, it would hole that line for a bit, then slowly roll over into a hard fade. That is not the flight I expected. On hyzer, it will hold the angle all the way to the ground. Flat throws would get a little turn, then a solid fade.
The new NERF disc golf discs make a great option for newer players and kids. But, they are a fun choice for more experienced players. Their stability for such a light weight is impressive. Check them out at Infinite Discs, available May 28!
The Innova Firebird takes first, of course, with the Dynamic Discs Felon coming in second place. The popular Felon was created to battle the Kansas winds, and it does a great job. If you’re looking for a disc that will not turn and give you a beefy fade, check out the Felon in Lucid plastic.
Obviously, the Champion Teebird and Champion Thunderbird will podium with this category, since they were the highest rated overall. Taking third place is the Discraft Undertaker. The Undertaker has a little more turn than the top two discs, but still has the reliable fade. The Undertaker will be celebrating its tenth birthday this year, having been released in 2016.
People are not only buying a lot of Sphinx’s, they are liking them a lot! The flippy I-Blend Sphinx is the highest rated understable fairway driver with 4.87 out of 5 stars. I have several Sphinx in I-Blend (and other plastic types for different situations.)
