Best Disc Golf Putters of 2026

Professional disc golfer putting

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

A chart showing the top 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 graph showing the top putters for the first half of 2026

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.

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.

Here are the top ten highest rated putters:

  1. Discraft Zone
  2. Axiom Envy
  3. Gateway Wizard
  4. Infinite Discs Tomb
  5. Dynamic Discs Judge
  6. Westside Harp
  7. Latitude 64 Pure
  8. Innova Aviar
  9. Discmania P2
  10. Infinite Discs Alpaca

Highest Rated Very Overstable Putters

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.

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.

Straightest Flying Disc Golf Discs

A disc golf tunnel shot lined with trees

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.

A disc golf tunnel shot lined with trees

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.

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!

Clint Easterly (BlitzDG) – Bringing You The Disc Golf Distance!

Blitz Disc Golf

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.”

BlitzDG pink Luster C-Blend Emperor

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.

 

 

 

Best Disc Golf Approach Discs

a disc golf basket behind a tree

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.

a professional disc golfer

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.

In this blog we will look at three things:

  • The best-selling approach putters
  • The highest-rated approach putters
  • Other popular discs that we see on the course

Honorable Mentions

Other popular approach discs:

Kastaplast Berg

Yellow Kastaplast Berg with Black Stamp

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.

Prodigy PA-3

A Prodigy PA-3

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.

Axiom Proxy

An Axiom Proxy disc golf disc

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.

Thought Space Athletics Praxis

A thought space athletics praxis disc golf disc

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!

MVP Watt

An MVP Watt disc golf disc

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.

NERF Disc Golf Discs?!

A set of Prodigy NERF disc golf discs

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.

Let’s check out the discs.

Putter 2, 2, 0, 1

A Prodigy NERF Putter

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.

Midrange 4, 5, -2, 1

A Prodigy NERF Midrange disc golf disc

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.

Driver 9, 4, -2, 2

 

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!

Best Throwing Putters for 2026

A disc golfer preparing to throw a putter

In disc golf, a disc is sorted into types based on it’s dimensions. A disc with a rim width of .8-1.1mm is considered a putter. However, many molds that fall into that rim size are rarely used for putting. Many of them are considered approach or driving discs. Those are the molds we want to focus on today.

In this blog we will check out sales data and reviews to find the best throwing putters for 2026. Yes, we do see some people putt with these molds. But we see these mostly used off the tee or as approach discs. Let’s find the best!

Discraft Zone

Blue Paul McBeth 5X signature Zone with black stamp

If you look at the top of nearly every ‘best throwing putter’ list, you’ll find the Zone. It has the overstability to handle power shots and headwinds. Used by people of all skill levels, the Zone is a reliable option for pros, and a great workhorse utility disc for lesser-skilled players. Check out the Zone today to see why it has become so popular.

Discraft Luna

Discraft Luna disc golf disc

 

 

The Luna is likely tops on the list of throwing putters that are also used for putting. The Luna is the first Paul McBeth putter for Discraft. This beadless putter is great for putting and can also be used as a driver, with the stability needed for the big arm throwers. There is a reason Paul bags the Luna!

Innova Aviar

Innova Aviar disc

Easily the oldest mold on the list, the Aviar is likely the most-copied. It is a classic putter that is older than most people reading this. This beadless and available in most plastic types. It doesn’t have the overstability of other discs, but it is still a good, shapable mold that has stood the test of time.

Infinite Discs Tomb

Red Infinite Discs Tomb with a silver stamp

With a loyal fan following, the Tomb is flat topped, beaded disc that sports a low profile. It has a perfect flight for tight woods and open fairways. It isn’t the best mold for strong headwinds. However, it is great for technical shots, putting, and works well for backhand and for hand shots. Pick one up today and join the Tomb Gang!

MVP Envy

Axiom Eclipse 2.0 Envy

Once James Conrad threw an Envy into the basket at the 2021 World Championship, the Envy became one of the hottest disc on the market. Don’t get me wrong, the Envy has been a hot seller from the beginning. This stable disc can be ripped with tons of power, and fly beautifully. Over time you can get a good flip-to-flat flight that makes precision approach shots a lot easier.

Gateway Wizard

Gateway Wizard disc golf disc

While not quite as old-school as the Aviar, the Wizard has been a Gateway staple for over two decades. It consistently ranks among the best throwing putters and putting putters. You may not reach for the Wizard for extra-long drives. But you will love it for technical shots. The beaded putter can be used in as many situations as it has plastic types. It is a legendary putter that outsells every other Gateway mold by a long shot.

Kastaplast Berg

Yellow Kastaplast Berg with Black Stamp

The Berg’s thumbtrack might be a deal breaker for you. But if you’re comfortable with the feel, you’ll fall in love with its deadly-accurate throws. The Berg has both a speed and glide of one, making it excel at shorter, accurate shots that sit where they land. The secret is out and more players are discovering the reliability of the Berg.

Latitude 64 Pure

Peach colored Latitude 64 Pure with gold stamp

The straight-flying Pure is another mold that is just as comfortable inside circle one as with long approach shots. It is beadless and feels great in the hand. The flight numbers make it great for shaping your lines. It has a touch of turn and a mild fade. The Pure is available in lots of plastics, so you’re sure to find it in your favorite type.

MVP Glitch

Purple MVP Glitch with black stamp and black rim

The Glitch has been around for a few years, and quickly became a popular mold. It has a low speed and an insanely high glide. Not only can you get impressively long flights, you can shape those flights to make the Glitch do what you want. Things can get a little tricky throwing it on a really windy day, due to the Glitch’s light weight. Personally, I only reach for my Glitch if I have a shorter, technical shots that my mid’s just can’t pull off. Under those circumstances, the Glitch shines.

Infinite Discs Alpaca

Another disc that has been popular since its release is the Alpaca. It is popular as a putting putter among Infinite’s pros. Whether you are crushing long drives, tossing technical approach shots, or putting from 10 meters, you can rely on the Alpaca. It flies accurately for a variety of shots. The beadless putter comes in lots of plastics.

So, which one is the best?

If you look at the number of discs sold, the Zone comes out on top. If you look at the nearly perfect rating, once again you’ll find the Zone. Pros love it, ams love it. Power throwers and noodle arms can bag the Zone. With all that said, the winner is the Discraft Zone.

Early Feedback is Promising on Infinite Prototypes

three new prototype discs from Infinite

We all like new discs. It’s okay to admit it.

If the new disc is junk, however, we’ll quickly turn on it.

But how do we feel about Prototypes?

On one hand, it’s a chance to try something without having to fully commit.

On the other hand, if it doesn’t get the requisite levels of approval, that mold could go collect dust in a storage house, never to be seen again.

So, in a way, there’s a lot riding on these 3 New Infinite Prototypes in I-Blend plastic.

If they past muster, we get a new Infinite mold. If they don’t, it’s like it never existed.

Having tried all three, I think Infinite will have a tough decision on their hands.

I suppose they could go with all three, but that doesn’t seem to be a likely outcome. I did exchange emails with Alan (Infinite’s owner), but I don’t have any insider intel here.

Alan gave me insight into the process of how Infinite gets its discs in the first place (which I’ll share), and hinted at a possible leader in the clubhouse for at least one of the prototypes (also to be shared), but after that, he just lets the process play out.

So let’s take a closer look at these three prototypes, and see if any (or all) are a good fit for your bag. We’ll also look at Infinite’s process for new discs and which, if any, look like they might make the lineup.

How Does Infinite’s Process Work for New Discs?

As many people know, Infinite works in close collaboration with Innova Discs. That’s why, at the bottom of most of your beloved Infinite molds, you’ll find a raised “Innova Discs” molded right in.

And also in the “You probably know this” category is that many of Infinite’s molds involve mixing and matching the top of an Innova mold with a different bottom of a different Innova mold.

But what was new to me was that Innova sends Infinite different specific combinations that they can elect to try. In this case, Innova gave Infinite 10 different combination options and they chose 3 of them.

Those 3 are obviously our three new prototypes. Let’s take a look at each.

Prototype I

With tentative flight numbers of 12, 6, -2, 2, this distance driver Prototype I is currently slotting between The Maya and The Emperor in terms of its willingness to turn over before fading out.

This disc is very workable with the both backhand and the forehand. It gives a full S-flight with a reliable fade that very rarely burns over. If the Emperor is just a bit too stable for your liking, one would think Prototype I would do the trick.

Prototype I

Prototype I (11, 6, -2, 2)

Giving the sweeping nature of its flight, Prototype I is probably not the disc you’d reach for when you have to hit tight lines.

The last noteworthy piece for Prototype I is the glide. The glide is real! When you connect on that big full flight and watch it soar, the glide 6 rating will feel just right.

But will this fun, glidey, workable driver called Prototype I make the cut, get its dynastic name, and get made in other plastics?

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure with all of these prototypes; Your input matters! If you have a take on any of these Prototypes, be sure to comment below and leave a review!

Prototype II

The tentative flight numbers for Prototype II are 8, 6, 0, 1.

If I had to guess, despite that this disc’s flight numbers closely resemble others in Infinite’s Fairway Driver lineup, this disc is going to make the cut.

Prototype II

Prototype II (8, 6, 0, 1)

Why do I say this you ask?

Because it’s a very reliable, high-glide, distance gobbling, backhand/forehand friendly gem of a disc, and those discs tend to stick around.

It’s also a mostly straight flyer which people usually appreciate as well. Then, when you throw in that it’s probably compatible for many different skill levels, it’s hard to see this disc getting ousted.

But that’s just one person’s opinion and time will tell. In the meantime, I don’t think you’ll regret grabbing a Prototype II for your bag.

Prototype III

If Prototype II, in my humble opinion, is the most likely to get a name, Prototype III with its tentative flight numbers of 10, 5, -.5, 2 is the least likely, to me, of the the three.

Prototype III

Prototype III (10, 5, -.5, 2)

Don’t get me wrong, I still like it.

It’s a nice, reliable stable, straight-flying disc, and I’d have no problem recommending it.

But, in the end, it probably too closely resembles other discs in Infinite’s lineup and I didn’t see any big advantage in distance or lines, to make me reach for it over an Exodus, Dynasty or a Roman.

Really, my thinking comes down to redundancy over anything else. And maybe the fact that I think it’s unlikely to make the cut makes Prototype III all the more attractive to you. Maybe it’s the last time you can even get your hands on one and that makes you want it all the more?

To each their own.

All told, it’s a nice disc, but I have my doubts it’ll get a name (And if it does you can bet I’m going to come back and edit this section).

Watching The Prototypes Fly!

If you want to watch them fly before you make a decision, that seems like a sensible idea.

Luckily, Infinite agrees and threw each Prototype, forehand and backhand, in a nice, compact video for you to check out below.

Give it a look and see if one or more prototypes speak to you!

 

1, 2, or 3. Which Prototype Will it Be?

1, 2, or 3? Which Prototype Will it be?

If Infinite only takes one of these, which do you think they should go with?

There’s no wrong answer here.

It’s hard to dispute someone opting for a gliding, s-turning, 11-speed like Prototype I.

And how could anyone dispute a distance-chewing, high-glide 8-speed that is very workable both forehand and backhand like Prototype II?

Finally, who would really argue with a reliable, straight-line, stable, forehand-friendly 10-speed like Prototype III?

My personal opinion is that it will be Prototype II given its combination of stability, reliability, distance and glide. These, to me, add up to give it the best chance.

But I’ve been wrong plenty times before.

All have value and I wouldn’t be shocked by any decision.

Collectively, as fans of Infinite, we all have a say in this.

So what say you?

Let us know below. If you’ve only read up on them and have an opinion, then we want to hear it. If you’ve thrown one or all, let us know.

1, 2, or 3? Which prototype will it be?
