Choose Your Fighter! Mascot Mayhem!

February 5, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Attention disc golf enthusiasts and Infinite fans! We’re thrilled to announce an event that’s sure to set the course on fire—the Choose Your Fighter Battles! Eight of our iconic disc mascots are ready to face off in a bracket-style battle where every purchase powers their journey to victory. This isn’t just about you scoring a quality disc; it’s about rallying behind your favorite mascot and being part of a community-driven competition.

Here’s how it works: We’ve featured lots of new characters on our stamps over the years. Now we’ll find out which is the most popular! Each week, two of the eight Infinite characters will face off in a battle for dominance. During that week, Infinite will have discs available with each combatant on the stamp. Whichever character sells the most that week is the winner of that battle. The winning mascot celebrates and moves on in the bracket, while the loser sulks and slinks away.

New battles will be announced every Monday, and will last for one week. Winners will continue to advance in the bracket, until there is one final champion! Infinite will then release discs with a unique stamp featuring the winning mascot.

Let The Battles Begin

The first battle has already begun! Between now and Monday, choose between the current contenders: The Marauder vs Parachute Penguin. Which one looks the best? Maybe its an old favorite of yours? You choose your fighter! Check out the disc options in the link below, then buy a disc to cast your vote!

The Marauder vs Parachute Penguin

Next Monday we will announce the winner of this battle, and feature two new opponents.

Throughout this blog series we’ve been finding the best disc golf discs for 2025. First we looked at the best putters, then the best midranges, before moving on to the higher-speed discs, the best fairway drivers and best distance drivers. This week, we’ll combine the best of the best, and find out which mold is number one!

Although we see a new leader in sales for last year, the Axiom Pixel, it overcame the same challenges of taking the top spot as the Glitch: it did so in its first full year of sales! The MVP/Axiom folks are putting out some great molds that are backed by popular pros.

Here are highlights of the top discs for the year:

1 Axiom Pixel – The Pixel is a straight, fairly glidey putter that, although it feels right at home as an approach disc or throwing putter on shorter holes, can also be found in the hands of disc golfers hoping to sink a long putt.

2 Innova Wraith – A perennial top contender for sales, the Wraith has the popular flight characteristics as the Destroyer, but a little slower speed. Every brand eventually makes a mold with the same flight numbers.

3 Infinite Discs Emperor – Coming up on its sixth birthday, the Emperor has been a hit from the beginning. It is made out of nearly every Infinite plastic, so give you a variety of options. And yes, it has a flight similar to the aforementioned Destroyer.

4 Infinite Discs Alpaca – Another mold that has been a hit from the beginning is the Infinite Alpaca. The beadless putter feels wonderful in your hand and performs even better. Try throwing the Alpaca today and see what the hype is all about.

5 Innova Destroyer – Ahhh, the Innova Destroyer. It has been around longer that most people have been playing disc golf. And it has been a favorite ever since its release. The Destroyer can be found in nearly every plastic, and a variety of weights, to meet the needs of most disc golfers. It has flight numbers that mimic a nice S-curve. Those numbers contribute to a nice S-curve for its flight.

6 Discraft Buzzz

7 Infinite Discs Pharaoh

8 Infinite Discs Sphinx

9 Discraft Zone

10 Axiom Envy

Comparing changes from year to year, we find seven molds that made the current list, that weren’t there the year before. That includes the number one disc on the list, the Axiom Pixel. Here is the list of the seven molds new to the top 50 this year:
Axiom Pixel
Innova Gorgon
Prodigy PA-3
MVP Trail
Axiom Time-Lapse
Discraft Cicada
MVP Wave

Brands in the Top 50

It is always interesting to see how many different brands are represented in the list of the top discs. Some brands you pretty much expect to see on the list. Others are somewhat of a surprise. With the changing disc golf manufacturer landscape, a couple brands still dominate, but smaller brands are starting to carve out their share of the market. Here are the top Brands on the list:

No one will be surprised to see that Innova leads the pack, with a whopping 18 molds in the top 50. Just as unsurprising, Infinite takes second place. Discraft, with its star-studded lineup of touring pros, comes in fourth with four molds in the top 50.

Most Popular Disc Types

If you sort the top 50 discs according to their disc type, three of the four types listed all have close to the same representation in the top 50. The exception is the midrange disc, with only 5 molds in the top 50.

The highest-rated midrange disc in the top 50 is the Discraft Buzzz, which is the sixth most popular mold, and will likely continue to land near the top of the list. It is a staple in many player’s bags, and has been a hot-seller for a long time.

Highest Rated Disc Golf Discs

The Infinite Discs rewards program includes incentives to give reviews about discs and accessories that we offer. We show the results of those ratings on every product page. The rating system allows customers to rate a disc/product on a scale from one to five stars, as well as give brief reviews about the item. This valuable feedback gives seeking customers insights to what their fellow disc golfers think about the disc/product.

Infinite discs has pages which show the highest rated discs on a single page, to give you an overview of the top rated discs. Bookmark these pages and refer to them next time you are shopping, to help guide your purchases.

Best Putters 2025

In our Best Putters blog we saw how the Axiom Pixel had dethroned the MVP Glitch for the title of the Best Putter. The straight-flying Pixel is the second mold in the Simon Line of discs, giving it a boost among Lizotte fans. It flies straight with minimal fade. The Pixel’s micro-bead is comfortable in your hand, giving you confidence driving the disc, or putting into the basket.

Here are the top putters for 2025:

1 Axiom Pixel

2 Infinite Discs Alpaca

3 Discraft Zone

4 Axiom Envy

5 Infinite Discs Tomb

Best Midrange Discs 2025

The Best Midrange disc for 2025 will surprise no one. The Discraft Buzzz has been a hot seller for a couple decades. It feels great in your hand, comes in a variety of plastics and stamps, and flies like you need it to fly. As a disc you can use in many situations, the Buzzz delivers. It will continue to sell well.

Best Fairway Driver 2025

According to the Best Control (Fairway) Driver blog, the Infinite Discs Sphinx is in the number one spot. Although it is an understable disc that is well suited for newer players, it is also available in plastics that make the mold more overstable, and more likely to be utilized by more experienced players.

1 Infinite Discs Sphinx

2 Infinite Discs Dynasty

3 Axiom Crave

4 Infinite Discs Roman

5 Infinite Discs Centurion

Best Distance Driver

The Best Distance Driver blog indicated that the Innova Wraith was everyone’s favorite. Like the Buzzz, it is not unusual to see the Wraith at or near the top of the list. It has desirable flight numbers. Endorsed by the legend, Ken Climo, the Wraith can be used by forehand and backhand players to maximize their throws.

Introducing: Lucky Discs

January 30, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

If you hop on a boat leaving New York City and travel across the Atlantic, you might pass through the English Channel and into the North Sea. If you continue your journey, you might pass near Denmark and into the Baltic Sea. Traveling north out of the Baltic Sea you will enter the Bothnia Sea. Near the west coast of the Bonia Sea is the city of Pori, Finland.

Pori is home to one of the oldest Jazz festivals in Europe. The city has a local food called “porilainen” (which is a sausage-based type of sandwich), and a church building that dates back to the 13^th century. And Pori is home to Lucky Discs.

Lucky in the USA

Although we like to carry more disc golf brands than anyone on earth, it isn’t very often that we get to have a visit from representatives of the brand. That was the case when Pekka and Andy stopped by our shop/warehouse to say hi and show us their discs. We enjoyed our visit with them, and wanted to feature them in our blog series about the different brands that we carry. Let’s learn about Lucky Discs!

Pekka (on the left) and Andy visit Infinite

Introducing Lucky Discs

Although they are not the newest disc golf brand around, they are still new by disc manufacturer standards. Lucky Discs was officially founded just three years ago, in 2022, by Tero Pesola and his team. As long-time disc golf enthusiasts, the team wanted to design and create stylish discs that reflect their vision for the sport. From that idea, Lucky Discs was born.

With the goal of creating unique discs instead of just copies of other disc, the folks at Lucky decided to get their discs manufactured in Finland. And they got some assistance from local disc golf pro, Kai Vesa. With a manufacturer and a pro on their team, they got to work creating perfect discs for the disc golf community.

Birth of a Brand

In May of 2022, the first mold from Lucky Discs, the Money Shot, was officially PDGA approved. The Money Shot is a beefy beadless approach putter that can handle big arms for precision approach shots, and is a great utility disc for everyone.

After the Money Shot, Lucky got two other molds released. The Bank Robber is their control driver that is available in their premium plastics. The Treasure Hunt is a high-speed driver with a ton of glide (picture a Destroyer, but with more glide).

A Mold By Any Other Name

The naming convention for their molds is simply rooted in real-life rounds. Certainly, all of us have been hunting for the treasure of an ace! Many of us have robbed our buddies of a victory by executing the perfect hole. And another name for a winning shot is a Money Shot. It will be fun to see what other themed names their team dreams up out on the course!

So far, the hot seller for Lucky is the Bank Robber in Premium plastic. In fact, Premium is their most popular overall plastic. It is extremely durable and feels great in the hand, and it is favored by power players. Their other plastics include Basic and Ultrium.

Coming Soon…

Soon to be added to the Lucky Discs line is a stylish midrange disc. They expect it to launch soon, and fill an important niche for the brand. It will be perfect for short drives and approach shots.

As for the future of the brand, they say that things are looking great. They have been receiving encouraging feedback from U.S. disc golfers and retailers. Moving forward they will continue to court American buyers, and continue to supply the European market. They are aiming for strong growth, believing that there will always be a solid demand for high-quality, stylish discs.

The Future of Disc Golf

They are just as optimistic about the future of the sport. Although disc golf growth has fluctuated the past 20 years, it has steadily climbed. As more countries discover disc golf, our community will grow. A great example of this global sport is the 2025 World Championships being held in Finland. It is the first time that Worlds has been held outside of the US.

“Disc golf is a sport for everyone”, Lucky Discs founder Tero Pesola said. “Every player can set their own goals, and there is always something new to learn.”

When asked what makes Lucky Discs unique, Pesola said, “The uniqueness of Lucky Discs is based on a genuine desire to do things the way we would want them done for ourselves – out of love for the sport.”

Infinite is sure that any brand with that empathetic approach and sincere attitude is welcome in disc golf!

Best Distance Drivers 2025

January 30, 2025 Ted Hegemann 19 comments

When you want to get the most distance from your drives, you’re usually reaching for your high-speed drivers. Also called distance driver, this type of disc has the widest rim of all types, and the usually require the most skill to maximize the achievable distance. They are the super-athlete of the disc golf world, since they hold distance records, and are used by pros and amateurs alike. Much like our Best Putters, Best Midranges, and Best Fairway Drivers we will look at the sales data to find the best disc golf distance drivers for 2025, and give you some ideas of discs you might want to try.

Before we unveil the top discs according to sales for 2024, let’s roll back the clock to see the top sales for 2023. Then we can compare the numbers and see if there are any changes.

Prior Top 50 Best Disc Golf Distance Drivers

Taking the top spot for sales is the Innova Wraith. The Wraith is a speed 11 disc that has a flight similar to some of the other top discs on the list. Taking second is the Infinite Discs Emperor, followed by the most popular driver of all time, the Innova Destroyer.

Checking out the top plastic sales for the number one Wraith we find that the most popular Wraith plastic sold is Star plastic. Star plastic outsold second place Gummy Champion by three times! It was responsible for over a third of all Wraith sales last year. The third place most popular plastic is GStar.

Now let’s look at the top sellers for last year.

Top 50 Best Disc Golf Distance Drivers 2025

The top six discs on our list for 2024 are the exact same as last year. Those six account for nearly one-third of all discs sold. The Axiom Time-Lapse moved up the list, since it only had a few months of sales the year before. However, it still didn’t dethrone the top 6. Infinite and Innova hold all of those top six molds, plus seventh place.

Here are the links to the top 10 discs on the list.

Check out the top selling drivers HERE

Most Brands In The Top 50

There are twelve different brands who have a disc in the top 50 best discs. Let’s take a look at which brands are represented, and how many molds they have on the list.

Now let’s look at the brands with the most molds for 2024:

There are no changes in the order of the top 5, but the number of molds in that group did have some changes. Innova and Discraft had half of the molds in the top 50. Infinite held the last podium spot, while MVP just missed the cut. Finish Line Discs, Divergent Discs, and Dynamic Discs all had one mold in the top 50

Top Rated Drivers

We’ve looked at the sales data for the top distance drivers, and now we’ll look at the top RATED discs. The infinite discs website allows customers to leave feedback and ratings on discs and accessories, and is a good resource for finding highly rated disc products. Let’s look at some of the distance drivers with the highest ratings.

Highest Rated Distance Drivers

Taking the number one spot with the highest consumer rating for distance drivers is Infinite Discs’ popular high-speed driver, the Emperor. The speed 12 driver has a popular flight that features a little turn with a reliable solid fade. It is available in numerous plastic types. It is also the signature disc of some of the top pros. The Emperor has a 4.95 rating out of 5. Nearly perfect!

Two discs tied for the second place spot, both with an average rating of 4.74 out of five, are the Innova Wraith and the Infinite Discs Pharaoh.

Check out the highest rated distance drivers HERE

Highest Rated Overstable Distance Drivers

Since the Emperor is considered an overstable driver and is the highest rated driver, it is obviously going to be the highest rated overstable driver. Since we talked about the Emperor above, let’s explore the next-best rated disc. In second place with 4.76 stars out of five is Discraft’s Raptor. The popular Raptor is a great disc for headwinds, or when you need a strong fade at the end of its flight. It is also the signature disc of several pros. The third highest rated overstable distance driver is the Innova Wraith, rated at 4.75 out of five.

Check out the top overstable disc golf distance drivers HERE and you can see what’s on sale!

Highest Rated Understable Disc Golf Driver

Looking at the other end of the stability spectrum we have the highest rated understable drivers. Topping the list are discs from Infinite, Axiom, and Lone Star Disc. The currently highest-rated disc is the Infinite Discs Sphinx. Currently with a 4.85 rating, the Sphinx is a great understable disc that comes in a variety of plastic types. With its understability the Sphinx is capable of giant turnover shots for some crushing drives. Or it can pick up some long distances on the ground as a roller.

The next two molds on the understable list, the Axiom Insanity and the Lone Star Disc Mockingbird, are tied at an impressive rating of 4.79.

Check out the top 20 understable disc golf distance drivers HERE and you can see all the top molds and what’s on sale!

Highest Rated Stable & Straight Flying Drivers

Checking out distance drivers with a more neutral flight, meaning little turn and a less aggressive fade, we find the stable Infinite Discs Dynasty leading the pack for the title of Best Stable Distance Driver with a rating of 4.82. The Dynasty works great for people of all skill levels with its incredible glide.

Tied for second place with a rating of 4.79 are the popular Discmania Essence, and the workhorse from Infinite, the Centurion.

Best Disc Golf Fairway Drivers 2025

January 24, 2025 Ted Hegemann 40 comments

A disc golf fairway driver is designed for controlled distance and accuracy off the tee. Typically, it has a narrower rim compared to a distance driver, which allows for a more stable flight and greater control over a variety of throws. Fairway drivers are ideal for players who want accuracy, while still covering a substantial amount of ground. They work well for both beginners learning proper technique and experienced players looking for a disc that can handle a variety of shots, such as controlled hyzers, anhyzers, and straight throws. In this blog we will look at the best disc golf fairway drivers for 2025.

Best Fairway Drivers 2025

Much like our Best Putters of 2025 and Best Midrange Discs of 2025 blog posts, this week we will look at the Best Fairway Drivers of 2025. We’ll look at the top selling molds, the most popular brands, and the highest rated discs. Let’s start by checking out the top 50 for 2023 so we can see what discs changed for 2024:

Infinite Discs took the top three spots on the 2023 list, rounded out with the third-place Centurion. One place in front of the Centurion is the popular understable fairway driver, the Sphinx. Taking the top spot by a sizable margin is the Infinite Discs Dynasty. The Dynasty represents over 6% of all fairway drivers sold that year. It is a signature disc for a couple touring Infinite pros.

Top 50 For 2025

Okay, now lets check out the top 50 control drivers for the first half of 2024:

The top ten for 2024 consisted of eight out of ten of the top ten for 2023. The Infinite Discs Roman and the Discraft Cicada replaced the Axiom Insanity and Discraft Athena in the top ten.

There was a total of eight discs that were added to the list that weren’t on the 2023 list. Here are the molds:

Axiom Fireball
Clash Discs Cookie
Discraft Captain’s Raptor
Clash Discs Lotus
Clash Discs Soda
Divergent Discs Kraken
Latitude 64 Brave
Thought Space Athletics Omen

Those molds replaced these eight molds in the top 50:

Dynamic Discs Escape
Kastaplast Falk
Prodigy Rhythm
Lone Star Disc Lariat
Lone Star Disc Mockingbird
MVP Terra
MVP Volt
Westside Hatchet

Top Fairway Driver Brands

Although Infinite’s mold took tow of the top three spots of the podium, there were two other brands that had more discs in the top 50. And once again, Innova and Discraft are number’s one and two for the most molds, and combined they have 20 percent of the molds in the top 50. Innova is in first with a whopping 13 molds, nearly doubling Discraft’s seven molds. Infinite has 6 molds. Smaller brands such as Dino Discs and Finish Line joined Doomsday, Westside, and Kastaplast, all having one mold in the top 50.

Highest Rated Fairway Drivers

Shifting from the best disc golf fairway drivers based on sales, we look at the highest rated fairway molds. Infinite Discs allows customers to rate individual discs and products to help other disc golfers see how other people feel about discs and accessories. If you would like to contribute YOUR reviews, you can earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards.

A quick check of the highest rated fairway drivers and we see that the Infinite Discs Sphinx is the highest rated with 4.85 out of five stars. Tied for second place, a couple ticks behind the Sphinx with 4.82, is the Firebird and the Infinite Discs Dynasty. It’s easy to see why these three sell so many discs. Based on the reviews, people really love them!

Highest Rated Overstable Fairway Drive

The highest-rated overstable fairway driver is a mold that doesn’t have a lot of ratings, but the ones it has are all five stars. The Kastaplast Idog is a disc that its reviewers absolutely love! It is an overstable mold that can be used for a variety of shots. It may not work as well for beginners. But, if you have a good arm you might want to consider this fairly beefy thrower from Kastaplast.

Two molds tied for second place in the overstable ratings category. The Clash Discs Ginger tied with the MVP Terra, the overstable fairway in the James Conrad lineup. Both of those discs are rated at an impressive 4.88.

Highest Rated Stable Fairway Driver

Fairway drivers that have minimal high-speed turn and fade are considered ‘stable’. These discs are shapable to suit the needs of a particular situation. The mold with the highest rating in this category is the Infinite Discs Centurion. The speed 7 Centurion has a little bit of turn at high speed, and a relatively mild fade at the end of its flight. It has an Infinite rating of 4.86, making it one of the higher rated discs of any category. In second place for fairway drivers is the Discmania Essence, rated at 4.79. A couple tenths behind the Essence is the Innova TL3. The TL3 is a faster version of the TL, which is a less overstable version of the TeeBird. It has an rating of 4.59

Highest Rated Understable Fairway Driver

Sometimes you need a bit more turn on your throws in order to either shape the shot you want, or keep turning over until you get a roller. In other words, you need something understable. Here is a list of some of the highest-rated molds that have a bit more understability in their flight.

Sitting at the top of the list as the highest rated and top selling understable fairway driver is Infinite Discs’ Sphinx. It is a flippy speed 9 disc that can definitely give you some turn in your flight. The Sphinx is rated at a whopping 4.89 out of five stars. Second place is another speed 9 mold, TSA’s Mantra. The Mantra has a rating of 4.86. In third place with a pretty high rating is the Axiom Insanity. The Insanity is rated 4.71.

Best Disc Golf Midrange Discs 2025

January 15, 2025 Ted Hegemann 94 comments

Check Out Our Top 50 Molds and You Might WIN a Gift Card!

This week we continue with our series about the best discs of of 2025, last week we took a look at the best putters. This week we’ll check out the best disc golf midrange discs for 2025.

In disc golf, midrange discs are versatile discs that are frequently used for shorter, controlled shots where accuracy is important. They have a variety of stabilities for nearly any situation you may find yourself. Although they can be used off the tee, they are commonly used for second or third shots, with the goal of finishing near the basket.

We’ll start by taking a look back to last year and the best midrange discs for the year.

Previous Top 50 Midrange Discs

Topping the list of the Best Midrange Discs previously was the perennial champion, the Discraft Buzzz. The beadless buzz has been around for decades and is one of the most popular discs of all time. It has a neutral flight and can be thrown on a slight hyzer, which will flip to flat and cruise for a long, straight flight. The Buzzz is the choice of many top pros. It is available in pretty much any plastic made by Discraft. One out of every six midrange discs that Infinite sold was a Buzzz.

Best Midrange Discs 2025

Now let’s look at the best midranges discs for last year to see any changes to the previous list.

Once again, sitting atop the list is the Discraft Buzzz. The difference between charts is the percentage of all midranges that the Buzzz represents. This year the Buzzz’s share of the market dropped from 16% previously to 8.7%. The drop was nearly half!

The Innova Mako3 moved up a couple spots, taking second place with 4.5% of all mids sold. A relatively newer disc, the Rollo, made its way into the top five, replacing the Infinite Anubis. The Rollo represented 4% of all mids sold.

Moved back a couple spots, but still staying in the top 5 are the Axiom Hex and the Innova Pig. The Hex led the pair with 3.7% of mids, vs 3.1% for the Pig.

Top Midrange Brands

Innova, Discraft, and Infinite Discs make up the podium, but Innova is on top with eight molds in the top 50. The top three brands sold a little more than one in four midrange discs for the year. With Discraft’s many pro signings recently, they could easily overtake Innova in the top spot. Axiom, MVP, Thought Space Athletics, and Kastaplast all had three molds in the top 50.

Highest Rated Midrange Discs

As part of its rewards program, Infinite Discs encourages customers to leave reviews for the discs and accessories they purchase. Along with a review, people can rate the products on a scale from one to five stars. We will now turn to those ratings to see which midrange discs rated the highest.

Not only did the Buzzz sell the most, it is also tied for the highest rated. The Buzzz holds an average rating of 4.8 stars, which ties the Prodigy M4. The M4 is a slightly understable midrange. RPM’s Piwakawaka was just a bit behind the other two with 4.79 out of five stars

Highest Rated Very Overstable Midrange Discs

These beefy discs have massive amounts of fade, and are not for everyone. If you have enough skill and arm speed, you may be in the market for one of these discs and want to check them out. If you get one of these molds, you are looking for something extra beefy, and they all deliver. That may be why the high ratings.

The highest-rated very overstable midrange disc is the Legacy Recluse. The Pursuit has a fade rating of four and an average rating of 4.93 out of five. The Prodiscus Troija also has a fade of 4, but with a turn of +1. It is rated just below the Recluse with a rating of 4.91. The third place spot goes to the Yikun Crossbow, whose flight numbers are 4,1.5,.5,4.

Highest Rated Overstable Midrange Discs

Looking at the highest rated overstable midrange discs we see the Infinite Discs Ra in first place. The Ra is one of the older molds from Infinite. It has enough stability for big arms, but enough controlability for newer players. The Ra has a user-rating of 4.86. Last year’s highest-rated mold, the RPM Kotuku, tied for second with a rating of 4.83. The Kastaplast Jarn tied with the Kotuku, also getting a 4.83 rating.

Highest Rated Understable Midrange Discs

If you want a midrange that will give you a little (or a lot) of turn in your its flight, you will want an understable mid. They are also good for beginners because they help with a longer flight while beginners develop their form. They are also great for approaches or drives in a tailwind.

The highest rated understable midrange comes from Prodigy. It is their slightly flippy mid, the M4. The M4 has a rating of a perfect five out of five stars! The next highest rated disc is the food-themed mold, the Clash Discs Peach. The Peach’s flight numbers are 4,5,-2,1, and its rating is 4.88. The final podium spot goes to the Dynamic Discs Bounty, rated 4.79 out of five stars.

Highest Rated Stable Midrange Discs

Stable midrange discs have little or no turn, and little or no fade. The fly straight or whatever line you put them on. Stable mids are valuable work horses that get used a lot. The highest rated of this type of mid is the Innova Mako3, with a user-rating of 4.74. Next up is the Infinite Discs Anubis. It has an average rating of 4.71. The Latitude 64 Compass takes the last spot in the category, with a rating of 4.67

Best Disc Golf Putters for 2025

January 9, 2025 Ted Hegemann 22 comments

At Infinite, we like to look at our sales data for the year to see which discs are hot, and what changes in disc preference we see with our customers. As the new year rolls around, we will be checking out the data and will be reporting what we find. With that in mind, let’s look at the numbers. Before we get into this year’s data let’s look at the top putters for 2023, so we can see any changes from year to year:

Top 50 Disc Golf Putters Sold in 2023

The glidey Glitch was sitting on the top spot by a couple percentage points, with the perennial favorite, the Alpaca, sitting in second. The Zone, Envy, and Tomb rounded out the top five. Over 25% of all putters sold last year were one of these five discs.

The Berg, Wizard, Proxy, Judge and Luna rounded out the top 10 for 2023. Those five molds sold over 12% of all discs for the year, which is still a lot of discs!

Now let’s see how the numbers look for 2024

Despite the second- through fifth-place molds remaining consistent, 2024 has welcomed a new top-seller. The Axiom Pixel, which made its debut late 2023, didn’t have the opportunity to surpass the well-liked Glitch. However, last year, the Pixel sold sufficiently to claim first place, making up over 7% of all putter sales! The Glitch has fell to seventh place.

Although the Glitch holds the top spot for the year, its sales numbers have dropped a bit from the first of the year. When we looked at the sales data mid-year 2024, the Glitch represented over 10% of all putters sold. However, it is still holding a good sized market share.

Let’s look at the top five molds for 2024:

1 MVP Glitch

2 Infinite Discs Alpaca

3 Discraft Zone

4 Axiom Envy

5 Infinite Discs Tomb

New to the top 10 for 2024 are the Prodigy PA-3 and Latitude 64 Pure. Dropping out are the Proxy and Judge.

Top Brands for Best Putters

Discraft moved up one spot and became the leader with seven putters landing in the top 50. They took the title from MVP, who had seven molds in 2023, but dropped to just three putters on the list last year. Axiom and Infinite moved up a couple spots to tie with Innova, who dropped one place. Discmania who had the same number of molds in the top 50 and still made the top 5 brands.

Highest Rated Disc Golf Putters

One of the awesome benefits to using the Infinite Discs site to shop is that you can read the reviews and see the ratings for discs you are interested in trying. Over time, the ratings become a great way to see what your fellow disc golfers think about certain molds. The ratings system ties is part of the Infinite Rewards. If you aren’t familiar with the Infinite Rewards program, where you can earn rewards by giving reviews or making purchases, check it out HERE and help our review data by giving feedback on your favorite discs.

We wanted to look at the discs in several different categories and see which molds are the top rated in those categories. We’ll start with the highest rated disc golf putters of all time.

All-Time Highest Rated Putters

The Discraft Zone edged out the Infinite Discs Tomb for the number one spot by a hundredth of a point! The Zone has an average rating of 4.89 out of five while the Tomb is rated 4.88. Both of these discs are throwing putters. The Alpaca is only a hundredth behind the Tomb to make a very close top three!

#1 Discraft Zone – The zone is popular and highly rated partly because of its overstability. It can handle any headwind and nearly every arm and still get good distance. Plus, its thick rim feels amazing to grip and gives you confidence in your drives and upshots.

#2 Axiom Envy

#3 Infinite Discs Tomb

Check out the top 20 highest rated putters HERE where you can see all the top molds and what’s on sale!

Highest Rated Very Overstable Disc Golf Putters

You might not have heard of the Goliath Discs Pillar before but it is the highest rated very overstable disc. The Pillar has a perfect 5-star rating! It helps that there are only two reviews for the disc. That really skews the data, but I’m okay giving them a mention. Taking second (or first, depending on how you feel about the first one) is the Discraft Zone. In third place with a 4.68 star rating is the Prodigy A1.

#3 Prodigy A1 – This beefcake is one of the discs in Kevin Jones’ line of music-theme-named discs. It handles a headwind with ease and fades hard at the end of its flight. The A1 is a good choice for the big arms.

#2 Goliath Discs Pillar

#3 Prodigy Distortion

Highest Rated Overstable Disc Golf Putters

When James Conrad threw his Envy into the basket on the last hole at the 2021 World Championships in Utah (I was there!), he certainly gave a nice boost in sales for the putter. The Axiom Envy holds the top spot in the ‘overstable putter’ category with 4.87 out of 5 stars. Taking second place is the popular Berg from Kastaplast. In the final podium spot is the long-time Gateway hit, the Wizard, which averages 4.72 stars.
Although any putter could be used as a thrower or a putter, most of the discs in the Very Overstable and Overstable Putters categories are used as throwing putters.

#1 Axiom Discs Envy – The overstable, throwing/putting putter has an overstable flight, but is still shapable and useful in a variety of situations on the course. The Envy’s profile is a little thinner than some putters, which is appealing to many. An older, more beat in Envy can be used in tight fairways and situations where control is crucial.

#2 Discraft Zone

#3 Innova KC Pro Aviar

Check out the top 20 overstable disc golf putters HERE where you can see all the top molds and what’s on sale!

Highest Rated Stable Flying Disc Golf Putters

A couple of Infinite molds sit atop the list of highest rated stable putters. The Tomb at 4.88 stars and the Alpaca at 4.87 stars. The best-selling disc of 2023 takes third with 4.85 stars. The disc rating drop off slowly as people really like a lot of discs in this category. Discs with stable flights can be used by such a large number of people with differing skill levels and in a large variety of situations. That is why there are so many on this list that are top selling discs, too.
Although many of the discs in this category are mainly throwing putters, they can also be used as putting putters. Look at this category as a list of the top putting putters.

#1 MVP Glitch – Because the Glitch has a huge amount of glide, it is great for long putts, approach shots, or even shots off the tee. The Glitch also makes a great catch disc to warm up before a round.

#2 Infinite Discs Alpaca

#3 Streamline Pilot

Check out the top 20 stable disc golf putters HERE where you can see all the top molds and what’s on sale!

Highest Rated Understable Disc Golf Putters

Although the understable putter category has some well-known names in the top 10, such as the Fierce and the Dynamic Discs Deputy, it is also full of lesser known brands and molds. Most disc golfers will have heard of Prodigy and their PA5, which is the highest rated understable putter. They may not be as familiar with the Mobius and RPM’s Tui, a New Zealand brand and disc. Check out the top 20 to see how many of brands you are familiar with.

#1 Prodigy PA5 – Described as a “silky smooth understable putt and approach disc that has the ability to hit and hold turnover lines and can perform straight hyzerflips”. The speed 3 putter has a little glide and a good amount of turn. Can be used on the putting green for straight putts, or as a driving putter when you need to flex around objects. The PA5 is available in many different Prodigy plastics.

#2 EV-7 Mobius

#3 Innova Mirage

How PDGA Ratings Work

December 27, 2024 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

If you’re new to the world of disc golf, you might have heard seasoned players toss around terms like “PDGA rating” with the same importance as if they were discussing the stock market or the performance of their favorite sports team. You might have hear players bragging about their improvements, or lamenting a drop in their rating. But what exactly is a PDGA rating, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in—and not even mention math and calculations … well, sort of.

What Is a PDGA Rating?

The PDGA rating is a number that represents your general skill level as a disc golfer. It’s like a report card, but instead of judging you on algebra and biology, it reflects your performance on the course. Specifically, it represents your efforts during PDGA sanctioned tournaments. This rating allows players of all skill levels to be compared fairly, whether you’re a weekend warrior or a touring pro. No matter what skill level and rating you are, you can still compare yourself to any other player with a rating.

How Is Your PDGA Rating Calculated?

The process isn’t magic, but it does involve some math. Although the exact algorithm isn’t made public, we know approximately how they are determined. Ratings are based on the scores you’ve earned in PDGA-sanctioned events. Here’s how it works:

Establishing a Baseline: In every event, some players’ performances are used as a benchmark. These players, called propagators, already have established PDGA ratings. There needs to be several propagators playing in order to calculate round ratings.
Round Ratings: The PDGA determines the difficulty of the course that day by analyzing how propagators scored. Then, they calculate how many points your score is worth relative to the course’s difficulty. The course difficulty can be affected by things like wind and rain, so the difficulty level can change.
Averaging It Out: Your overall rating is the average of your round ratings from the past year—with some exceptions. For instance, if you have a particularly bad round (for example: you have a nightmare hole where you hit every tree, find every OB, and three-putt to finish), it might get excluded if it’s unusually low compared to your other scores. The algorithm recognizes that outlier scores aren’t a reflection of your actual skill level.

Why Does Your Rating Matter?

Along with bragging rights and a clear representation of our skill improvement, our PDGA rating determines your division eligibility in tournaments. Want to play in Advanced or move up to Open? Your rating will guide where you will be playing against similarly-skilled players. There are limits set by the PDGA that restricts people a high enough rating from playing in certain divisions. As mentioned, it’s also a handy way to track your progress over time. And let’s be honest, there’s something satisfying about seeing that number trend upward.

What If Your Rating Is Low?

First of all, no worries. Everyone starts somewhere. Some of the best players in the world once had ratings that might make them blush today. If your rating feels more “bumbling beginner” than “proud pro,” think of it as room for growth. Besides, a low rating just means you’re leaving plenty of room to surprise your competition!

As one wise disc golfer once said, “The only rating that matters is how much fun you’re having.” (Okay, maybe nobody said that, but they should have.) Keep that in mind if you find yourself worrying too much about your rating. Most of us are in this sport for the fun of it. So, have fun when you play! You might just find that the more relaxed you are, the more your rating will climb.
