Overstable vs Understable

September 11, 2026 Ted Hegemann 6 comments

Disc golf has many unique words that beginners will hear during a round. Words like hyzer, flippy, and mando are examples of words that new players will be introduced to, and have to learn. When it comes to the flight of a disc, two important disc golf terms are ‘overstable’ and ‘understable’. These terms are commonly used to describe how a disc flies through the air. Let’s define those terms and learn how they are used.

Disc Stability

When we describe the flight of our discs, we are referring to how the disc behaves at the fastest part of the flight, the beginning, the middle part of the flight, and what it does as it slows down. We can then know the stability of the disc. To describe to others how our disc flies, we use the terms overstable, understable, and stable. In this blog we will define those terms and talk about how they might not make your description clear.

Let’s start with ‘understable’.

Understable Discs

The term understable refers to a disc that moves to the right, on a RHBH throw, at the fastest part of the flight. That movement to the right is known as ‘turn’ in disc golf. Typically, if a disc has a lot of turn, it won’t have as much ‘fade’ at the end. Fade is a word used to describe how the disc behaves as it slows down, and refers to how much a disc moves to the left at the end of its flight. A disc with a lot of turn typically doesn’t have a lot of fade.

Check out this list of the highest rated understable discs.

Check out the top very understable discs here.

Overstable Discs

The term overstable references the movement of the disc to the left at the end of the flight. The more overstable a disc, the more movement to the left, and the more fade it has. If a disc has a lot of fade, it usually doesn’t have much turn. In fact, it might not have any turn. Those discs are great for headwind shots, since they resist turning and give a consistent flight.

Stable Discs

The term stable can have a couple different meanings, depending on how it is being used. It is commonly used to describe a disc with a straight flight. It can also be used to mean less extreme in stability. For example, I’ve heard someone say that their disc is too flippy, and they need something a little more stable. I’ve also heard people say their disc is too beefy, and they want something more stable. Both comments are saying that the person has something that is too extreme, and they want something less extreme.

Flight Numbers

We’ve covered what overstable, understable, and stable mean, so now we can look at how to tell which discs fall into each category. We can learn a disc’s stability by finding out its flight numbers, which give us a quick way to understand how it’s designed to fly. Often times the flight numbers are stamped on the disc. If not, you can go to www.infinitediscs.com to look up the flight numbers.

Keep in mind, flight numbers are not an exact science. Weight, plastic type, and players skill level all affect how the disc will fly. The numbers give you a general idea of how the disc will fly, then you can use them to determine how it will fly for you. If you are a beginner, for example, most discs will be overstable to you. A disc that is very understable might be what you will throw until your skill improves.

Disc Flight Number Examples

Let’s take a look at a couple examples of overstable, stable, and understable discs. We’ll start with two speed 9 discs, the Sphinx and the Scepter.

Overstable Scepter

The flight numbers for the Scepter are 9, 4, 0, 4.

The 9 represents the relative speed that the disc needs to be thrown in order for it to fly like the rest of the numbers indicate.
The first 4 indicates the amount of glide. The Scepter isn’t the disc of choice if you want to throw a long way.
The 0 is the turn. A 0 means the Scepter will fight a headwind, or handle the torque of a forehand.
The second four is the amount of fade the disc has as it slows down. Four is a lot of fade, and the disc is very overstable.

The combination of low glide, no turn, and high fade indicate that the Scepter is an overstable disc.

Understable Sphinx

The flight numbers for the Sphinx are 9, 6, -3, 1.

Again, the 9 is the relative throwing speed.
The 6 is a high glide number. The Sphinx can be thrown a long way.
The -3 means the disc has a lot of turn. It may be too much turn for better players or for headwind shots. The Sphinx is an understable disc.
A mild 1 for the fade means the Sphinx will not fade hard to the left at the end of its flight.

The high glide, high amount of turn, and low fade lets you know the Sphinx is an understable disc.

Stable Squire

The flight numbers for the Squire are 8, 6, 0, 1.

The 8 is the relative speed.
Like the Sphinx, the Squire has a high glide of 6.
The 0 indicates no turning.
The 1 means the fade is not substantial.

The Squire has little turn and fade, and is a straight-flying, stable driver.

Conclusion

We hope this blog helped you learn more about disc golf terminology. Knowing what unique words are used in disc golf will help you feel more confident about talking with other disc golfers, as well as understanding what people mean when they use those term.

What is a Mando in Disc Golf?

August 24, 2026 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

There are many terms in disc golf that a new player might not understand when they first start playing. word like ‘overstable’, ‘hyzer’, and ‘flippy’ are used in regular conversations on the course. Another term, and one that we will discuss in this blog, is ‘mando’.

It is important to know what a mando is and how to play a hole that has one. It is also good to know WHY mandos are used, so we can know why it is important to play them correctly. So, let’s learn what a mando is in disc golf!

What is a Mando?

The word mando is an abbreviation of the word ‘mandatory’. In other words, it is mandatory that you throw your disc a certain way on certain holes. You are required to throw on the correct side of an obstacle. If you see a mando sign that is pointing left and attached to a tree, then your disc must fly to the left of the tree. If not, you get a penalty stroke.

Most of the mandos that you’ll see are pointing either left or right. However, sometimes you’ll see a mando that points down. In that instance, you need to throw below whatever object the mando is attached to. Occasionally, as pictured below, you see a triple mando. That means you go between the left and right arrows, and below the top.

Rare Mando

In rare occasions, usually unsanctioned tournaments or events, you’ll see a quad mando. This is basically a rectangle shape that you have to be able to throw your disc through. I’ve only seen quad mandos at casual tournaments.

Sometimes mandos will have the word ‘mando’ on the sign, though not always. They might also be marked with a ribbon or tape to indicate the mando object. If tape or ribbon is used, there should be some indication on the tee sign or in the course rules which directions you need to throw in order to successfully execute the mando. A successful throw is called ‘making the mando’. An unsuccessful throw is a ‘missed mando’

Why Are Mandos Used In Disc Golf?

While mandos should be used sparingly in a course design (in my opinion), there are several reasons why a course designer might decide to include a mando on a hole.

One reason is safety. By forcing players to throw in a certain direction, course designers keep discs from flying over or near playgrounds, parking lots, walking paths, or other players. That makes the course safer and reduces the chances of someone getting hit or property damage from occurring.

Another reason is to make a course more challenging. Designers might intend for people to throw down a difficult, narrow tunnel. If you have the skill and power to throw over the tunnel and land on a green or fairway, it takes the challenge out of the hole. By adding a few mandos, the hole becomes more of a test, and rewards the accurate throw.

One reason designers might include a mando is course flow. Some courses have areas of the course where there are thick bushes or swampy areas, and throwing into those areas would cause delays while people look for their disc. That becomes especially important during a tournament.

A mando might also prevent people from throwing onto another fairway. That might be a safety issue AND a course flow issue. And might be another reason you see a mando on a particular hole.

Mando Rules and Penalties

Now that you know a little about what mandos are and when they are used, let’s look at the PDGA rules that govern mandos and how to play them. The section in the official rules is not very long, and worth a read if you want to brush up on the current requirements. They complete rules are found HERE. I’ll summarize the rules in this blog, but if you plan to play in a sanctioned tournament you should look up the official rules to make sure you understand and follow them.

PDGA 804.01 Mandatory Routes

A mandatory route restricts the path the disc may take in the process of playing a hole.
The restricted plane is a vertical plane marked by one or more objects or other markers which define the edges of the space.
If part of a thrown disc clearly enters into a restricted plane, the player receives one penalty throw. The lie for the next throw is the drop zone for that mandatory. If no drop zone has been designated, the lie for the next throw is the previous lie.
If the thrown disc is released on the other side of the restricted plane compared to the rear edge of the marker disc, the player has missed the mandatory. The next lie and penalty are the same as 804.01.C.

Mando Strategy

It is often times best to avoid a penalty by not aiming anywhere near the mando. Other times it might be strategic to lay up near the mando, then take a more powerful throw on your next shot. That is especially true on narrow double mandos.

Conclusion

In this blog we’ve learned about mandos in disc golf, why we have them, and the different types. We also looked at the rules of play for mandos. There are many courses with no mandos, but others where they are necessary or desired. It’s good to know why they are there and how to play them.

Best of luck, and may you make all of your mandos!

We don’t sell mandos at Infinite, but we have the best selection of discs and accessories on earth. Check out our newest discs HERE.

New Latitude 64 ChainGrip Plastic

August 11, 2026 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

If you’ve watched professional disc golf tournaments recently, you might have seen some nasty spit outs for Isaac Robinson. A spit out is when you hit chains with your putt, but the disc still manages to pop out of the basket. It seemed to be happening a lot to Isaac, but in reality, it happens to all of us at some point. What if there was a way to make a disc so the chances of a spit out were greatly reduced? Latitude 64 might just have the answer.

A couple months ago, Latitude 64 released a new type of plastic as part of Project ChainGrip. They used a patent-pending technique to create a disc with a regular stiff flight plate and a grippy, tacky outer rim. The combination was called ChainGrip. The goal was to improve your chances of having the disc stay in the basket, while giving you a clean, consistent disc release.

20,000-Putt Mission

With the release of the ChainGrip prototypes, Latitude 64 set a goal to get feedback from users comparing the success rate of the new plastic combination with regular putters. They wanted to evaluate 10,000 putts with a regular disc and 10,000 putts with the ChainGrip putters to see how they compare. Latitude wanted to know if the feel and release of the disc, as well as the ability to stay in the chains, was better or worse. Although Latitude hasn’t released the data yet, they say the results have been positive.

New Release

The feedback has been so positive that Latitude will be releasing two molds in the ChainGrip plastic to everyone. The Pure and the Peak, two popular putters from Latitude 64 will be available on August 13.

Latitude 64 ChainGrip Pure

The Pure is a straight-flying putt/approach disc that performs just as well off the tee as on the green. It has a minimal amount of turn and just a little fade, making it easily shapable and reliable.

The Peak is similar in flight to the Pure. The Peak is beaded and has a low profile. Approach or putt with confidence with the ChainGrip Peak.

Best Disc Golf Discs For Beginners

August 10, 2026 Ted Hegemann One comment

If you are just starting to play disc golf and you don’t get any coaching to help you buy discs, you might end up with discs that are way outside of your skill level. That has happened to lots of disc golfers. And resulted in a lot of disappointment and bad habits.

To an outsider, one disc isn’t much different than another disc. They might not know about flight numbers and what they mean, and wouldn’t be able to tell you which ones would be better for beginners.

This post focuses on molds that support beginners in developing proper form and confidence. We’ll talk about flight numbers and show you which numbers would be better for your skill level, and which ones to avoid for now.

Understanding Disc Flight Numbers

Disc golf uses a four-number flight rating system. While far from perfect, it’s the most useful benchmark we have. Here is what each digit tells you and why it matters:

Speed: Indicates how fast you must throw the disc for it to fly correctly. High-speed discs must be thrown a lot faster than slower-speed discs. Attempting to throw high-speed discs without the proper skill can result in poor form and poor habits. Beginners should stick with speeds between 1 and 5. You can get slightly faster discs if you can find them in lighter weights (under 160g), but your focus should be on slower speed discs.
Glide: Describes how long the disc stays in the air. Higher glide numbers help beginners maximize distance with less power. Look for a glide of 5 or more.
Turn: Measures how much the disc will veer to the right (for a right-handed, backhand player) when thrown with speed. Beginners benefit from discs with turn ratings between –1 and –4. If your disc starts turning too much early in flight, consider a faster or more stable mold (less turn).
Fade: Reflects how much the disc will curve to the left at the end of its flight. Lower fade values are easier for beginners to manage, since their throws don’t have the speed of an experienced player.

What About Disc Weight

Although the flight numbers on a disc might tell you if it is good or bad for beginners, the weight of a disc can also make a big difference. Lighter disc golf discs are often better for beginners because they require less power to throw effectively, making it easier to get more distance with less effort.

Heavier discs can be harder to control for new players since they require faster arm speed to achieve a full flight, often resulting in short or inaccurate throws. A lighter disc is also more forgiving, as it tends to glide longer and stay in the air, giving beginners more time to see how their throw affects the disc’s flight. This added distance and control can help new players build confidence while developing proper form.

Best Disc Golf Discs for Beginners

With the information about weight, disc speed, and flight numbers in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best discs for beginners. This list is taken from Infinite Discs reviews and disc popularity.

Gateway Voodoo Another straight putter, the Gateway Voodoo has an interesting feel. It is soft and very grippy. The Voodoo comes in a variety of plastic types.
Innova Nova The Nova has a straight flight, with no turn or fade. It just goes where you want. The Nova is an overmold disc.
Yikun Yan With a little more glide than most mids, the Yan is a deep-rim, straight disc that will hold any line you put it on. It is a great choice for picking up some distance with little effort.
Viking Cosmos A great option for beginners who want a disc with a little more distance potential is the Viking Cosmos. Its flight is just what a beginner will need to expanding their game.
Latitude 64 River The River is a popular disc that has lots of glide, and enough turn and fade to make it a versatile mold. It is also one of the highest rated fairway drivers on the market!
Viking Rune This low-profile putt and approach disc is deadly straight! It has a bit of glide to help off the tee. Or you can putt with confidence with this beaded putter.
Latitude 64 Jade The Jade is part of the beginner Gem line, along with the Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, and Amber. They are available in lighter weights and all have flight numbers that are beginner-friendly.
Divergent Discs Leviathan The extra turn in the Leviathan contributes to its popularity among newer players. You’ll pick up extra distance while you hone your form.
Infinite Discs Alpaca The Alpaca is a popular disc with pros and beginners alike. You’ll find a straight flight off the tee pad and a great feel for putts inside the circle.
Latitude 64 Diamond You will definitely want to consider the Diamond when you move up to a driver. As mentioned before with the Jade, the Diamond was made with beginners in mind. Grab a 150-class Diamond for beginners, then move up to a heavier version as you improve your skill.

If you look at each of the discs listed, you’ll find they all fit the description above of what makes a great beginner disc. None of them are high-speed discs. None of them have crazy fade. They are all stable to understable discs. They are just what you should look for as you start your disc golf Journey!

Below is a link to the complete list of the best beginner discs. Check it out to see which of the molds might be on sale!

Best Discs Golf Discs 2026

July 29, 2026 Ted Hegemann 18 comments

Throughout this series, we’ve been breaking down the top disc golf discs for 2026. We started with putters, moved into midranges, and then stepped up to the faster discs with fairway and distance drivers. Now, it’s time for the big finale: bringing all the winners together to see which mold truly stands above the rest.

Best Discs For 2025

Innova Wraith	Distance Driver
Discraft Buzzz	Mid Range
Infinite Discs Emperor	Distance Driver
MVP Trail	Distance Driver
Innova Destroyer	Distance Driver
Discraft Zone	Putt & Approach
Axiom Pixel	Putt & Approach
Innova Mamba	Distance Driver
Gateway Wizard	Putt & Approach
Discraft Luna	Putt & Approach

The top two molds have been around, and popular, for decades. The Innova Wraith and the Discraft Buzzz have been best sellers since the early 2000’s. In third place is the slightly newer Infinite Discs Emperor. The Emperor is known for being a bomber of a driver, with many open-bag Infinite pros choosing it as their high-speed driver of choice.

The MVP Trail and the legendary driver, the Innova Destroyer were fourth and fifth in popularity. Completing the top ten are the Discraft Zone, Axiom Pixel, Innova Mamba, Gateway Wizard, and the Discraft Luna.

The Pixel went from first place in 2024 to 7th for 2025. 2023’s winner, the MVP Glitch, finished 44th place

Let’s check out the top sellers for 2026:

The Infinite Discs Emperor is off to a good start for 2026, moving up a couple spots from last year to take the lead. The ever-present Innova Wraith dropped one spot to second. The final podium member is another perennial winner

Brands in the Top 50

Innova once again leads the pack. The number in the top 50 dropped from 14 last year, to 11 for the first half of 2026. MVP made a leap from three to eight molds. Discraft stayed the same, while Infinite Discs had one fewer molds in the top 50.

Most Popular Disc Types

Last year there were more putt and approach discs in the top 50 than any other type of disc. This year control drivers, or fairway drivers, take the lead. In the top 10, distance drivers tied with putt and approach discs for the most. In fact, there is only one control driver in the top 10: the Bokeh However, expand to the top 50 and control drivers surpass any other type.

Best Disc Golf Distance Drivers 2026

July 25, 2026 Ted Hegemann 21 comments

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 are once again looking at a mid-year look at the best disc golf distance drivers of 2026. We’ve covered the top putters, midrange discs, and fairway drivers. Now we’ll discuss the best distance drivers for the first half of 2026.

Best Distance Drivers

Distance drivers are a fun type of disc to throw. Typically, when we reach for our distance drivers we are trying to throw it as far as possible. Since they are in the air longer than other types of discs, we get to see them turn and fade in an aerial ballet.

Although a certain skill is required to throw high-speed discs properly, newer players can ‘cheat’ the system by picking up lighter discs that let them throw faster. That lets them throw higher speed discs than they normally would be able to throw.

Distance drivers are usually in the speed 10 and above range. They range in stability from very flippy to ultra-beefy. If disc golfers can get a long throw with their drivers, it will set them up for an easier approach or even a putt.

To compare the changes from last year, let’s first look at the best distance drivers for 2025.

The MVP Trail made a jump from 8th to 3rd place. I suspect it will have a place in the top ten for years. With a slight turn and a gentle fade the speed ten mold can be thrown well by people of all skill levels. Another MVP disc, the Wave, also moved up a bit. It went from 13th to 7th. The Wave has more turn (-2) than most of the molds in the top 10. Only the Innova Mamba (-5) and the Maya (-3) have more turn.

Besides the aforementioned Trail and Wave, the rest of the top 10 remain the same molds, only in different order. It’s a pretty tall order to break in to the top 10. In order to do that a mold would have to unseat some very popular discs.

How popular are the top molds? The sales of the top five discs on the list represent nearly 1 in every three distance drivers sold!

The Destroyer slipped off the podium for the first time in a while. I don’t think it will continue to slip. It has such a desirable flight and is available in a nearly every plastic type. Who knows, maybe if there are enough new molds that hit the disc golf scene, they can brute force the Destroyer off the charts. But, I doubt it.

Best Disc Golf Distance Drivers 2026

Four out of five of the top distance driver molds were the same as in 2025, but, the order and the percentage of sales changed for all of them. The Emperor moved back to first place, with a hefty increase in percentage of sales, with over 12% of all distance driver sales. The Wraith slipped in standing, but didn’t change much percentage.

The Destroyer made it back on the podium, selling slightly better than in 2025. The MVP Trail returned again to the top five, while the Pharaoh booted the Mamba. Although, the Mamba merely slipped to sixth place.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50 2025

It isn’t a surprise to see Innova and Discraft with the most molds in the top 50. They are two of the oldest companies in disc golf and have more distance drivers than some brands have total molds.

Innova and Discraft may be the biggest in the business, but there are always a few smaller brands that manage to land in the top 50. This year Thought Space Athletics, Clash, and Doomsday Discs had at least one mold on the list. As more new brands roll out their offerings there might be more competition for those spots on the top 50. However, it is tough to unseat the big companies in the sport.

Now let’s look at the number of molds in the top 50 for 2026.

Innova remains king of the top 50. That includes a list of well-known, popular molds: Destroyer, Wraith, Mamba, Tern, Skryke, and Katana have been popular for a decade or more. Their discs in the top 50 also includes a newer mold, the Gorgon. It was PDGA approved in May of 2024.

MVP and Discraft tied for second place at eight molds each. That moves Infinite off the podium with only seven molds in the top 50. The top three brands add up to over half of the molds in the top 50!

Highest Rated Disc Golf Distance Drivers

Shopping on the Infinite Discs website comes with a major advantage: you can browse authentic player reviews and check disc ratings before making a purchase. As more disc golfers share their experiences, those ratings become a valuable snapshot of how the community feels about each mold. The review system also connects with the Infinite Rewards program, where you can earn points for submitting reviews or making purchases. If you haven’t checked out Infinite Rewards yet, it’s definitely worth exploring (click HERE). Your feedback not only earns rewards but also helps expand our growing collection of disc reviews.

We are going to look at some of the highest rated distance drivers and see which molds are on top. For our ratings system, we weight molds that have more reviews heavier than those with fewer reviews. We’re going to tweak our weighing system soon. With that in minds, let’s start with the highest rated distance drivers.

Highest Rated Distance Drivers

The Destroyer is a perennial best seller, and it seems logical that it would be among the highest rated. And you can’t discuss the Destroyer without mentioning its little brother, the Wraith, which took second place. Taking third is the Infinite Discs Pharaoh finished as the third highest-rated distance driver overall.

Check out all the Highest Rated Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Very Overstable Distance Drivers

For this category, you won’t find many molds in the top 50. These are utility discs that have a definite place in many people’s bags, but aren’t going to be sought after by the masses. They are high-speed AND beefy. They are not beginner discs, but it is still interesting to see who is on top in the category.

Taking first place is the speed 11 Infinite Discs Slab. The Slab has a flat top and is perfect for people with big arms. Experience players can utilize the overstability with forehands, headwind shots, or spike hyzers. As a utility disc, it can be used for carving tight corners to avoid obstacles. Check it out and see why people love the Slab.

Taking second place is the Discraft Force. Loved by pros and ams alike, the Force is a speed 12 beefcake that is available in premium and base plastics. Taking third place is one of the beefiest molds in the Dynamic Discs lineup, the Enforcer.

Check out all the Highest Rated Very Overstable Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Overstable Distance Drivers

The Innova Destroyer is a perennial best seller and is also the highest rated distance driver. And how can we mention the Destroyer without mentioning its little brother, the Wraith. Since the Wraith has a similar flight to the Destroyer, but a tad slower, it is easy to see why people like it. Taking third is the Infinite Discs Emperor. It is one of the best selling drivers in the Infinite line.

Check out all the Highest Rated Overstable Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Stable Distance Drivers

I glad to see the Infinite Discs Pharaoh taking first place, since some of my longest throws have been with a lighter Pharaoh. It has a good amount of turn to give it a nice S-curve, and a reliable fade. It is a bomber mold!

The second highest rated disc is the Beast. It has a similar flight to the Pharaoh and is a little slower speed. It has been part of Innova since 2002. Taking third place is the glidey Shryke. It is a speed 13 disc that can deliver some long drives.

Check out all the Highest Rated Stable Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Understable Distance Drivers

This category favors intermediate-level players. Since distance drivers have higher speed levels than other categories, many molds are beyond the ability of less experienced players. Discs that are understable help them get a straight flight. These are the highest rated of the understable drivers.

The Innova Tern has been a popular mold for a long time. As mentioned, newer players can appreciate the flippy flight numbers, while more experienced players can use the Tern for huge flex shots. Plus, it has a lot of glide to aid in long shots.

The second highest rated Infinite Discs Maya hasn’t been around as long as the Tern, but it has a huge fan base. The speed 12 mold is a tad more understable than the Tern, but not nearly as flippy as the third place Innova Mamba.

Many people reach for the Mamba as an easy roller disc. It is so understable that even newer players can find a little turn in their throw.

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.
