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?

three new prototype discs from Infinite

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?

How to Putt: Disc Golf Putting Techniques

A professional disc golfer putting

Unless you park a drive or throw in a long shot from the fairway, you will be putting on nearly every hole. Sometimes those putts are simple drop ins from a few feet away. Other times you need to get the disc into the basket from much farther out. In this blog we will explore the most common disc golf putting techniques and stances that players use to get the disc into the chains.

Although there are many different techniques used throughout the disc golf world, this blog focuses on two of the most common stances and two primary putting styles, along with other, more unusual methods that players use when the situation demands it. These techniques cover the majority of putts you will see on the course and can help you build a more versatile short game.

Putting Stances

STRADDLE

A disc golfer putting with a straddle stance

The straddle stance is used by many players either as needed or as their primary putting stance. Pros like Nate Sexton and Kevin Jones rely on it regularly. By facing the basket with your feet parallel and spread apart, you are more stable and can easily putt around obstacles.

The straddle stance goes well with a push putt, although spin putts also work. You can generate extra power by using a jump putt from this stance, or stay on the ground and rely on your legs and arms for momentum.

STAGGER

The stagger stance is the most common stance in disc golf. It is a position that allows you to generate power from your legs, hips, shoulders, arms, and wrist. You place one foot in front of the other with your forward foot the same as your dominant hand. Most of your weight begins on your back foot and shifts forward as you release.

Your back leg often lifts into the air to counterbalance your body, which adds distance and stability. This stance uses a lot of muscle groups, but when mastered it produces powerful and consistent putts. Jennifer Allen is known for having one of the highest back leg kicks in the sport.

Types of Putts

SPIN

The spin putt emphasizes creating heavy rotation on the disc. You bring the disc close to your body and snap it toward the basket using your elbow and wrist. This motion produces a fast, spinning putt that can cut through wind and reach longer distances.

The downside is that more moving parts mean more chances for inconsistency. However, the spin putt works well in both straddle and stagger stances and is especially useful in windy conditions.

PUSH

The push putt focuses on lofting the disc with minimal spin. The disc slowly floats toward the basket, which reduces the chance of having to make a long comeback putt. The higher arc can help you clear obstacles and the softer impact with the chains reduces spit outs.

The tradeoff is reduced distance and more influence from the wind. Push putts require consistency and proper technique in order to be effective.

Disc Golf Putting Techniques

TURBO PUTT

a turbo putt

The turbo putt, often called a pizza putt, is performed by holding the disc flat with your thumb underneath the putter and your fingers wrapped around the outer rim. You push the disc forward and add heavy spin by snapping your wrist. When executed well, this motion creates enough rotation to reach longer putts with surprising accuracy.

Although the turbo putt can generate impressive spin, it is most commonly used for short putts on elevated baskets or when you need to get over obstacles such as bushes. It is entertaining to watch a skilled turbo putter, but it is a little more rare to see.

BASKETBALL PUTT

basketball putting technique

The basketball putt mimics the motion of shooting a basketball. You hold the disc upside down at an angle and flick your wrist upward, putting the disc in a flipping arc toward the basket. While this putt is rarely seen in competition, a few pros such as Ricky Wysocki have used it on video.

A variation of this technique involves flipping the disc so it rotates slowly without much spin, allowing it to drop into the chains on the flight plate or bottom. Jennifer Allen has used this method for short putts, especially on elevated targets.

SCOOBER

the scoober putt

The scoober, popularized in Ultimate Frisbee and seen in disc golf videos featuring Brodie Smith, is thrown with the disc upside down at an angle. It uses a short elbow motion and a quick wrist flick in a reverse forehand style. The disc floats and then drops sharply, which reduces the chance of a long comeback putt if you miss.

Although the scoober can help you navigate obstacles or tight angles, it requires skill and practice. Players with Ultimate experience may find it easier to throw successfully, but most disc golfers will have better success with more traditional putting techniques.

KNEELING

A kneeling putt is typically used when obstacles force you into a wide stance or when you need to get under a low ceiling. Dropping to one knee can give you more lateral reach than a standard straddle and may offer better stability. Many players carry a foam mini to cushion the knee during these shots.

This technique is especially useful when you need maximum stretch around an obstacle or when bending down for a low ceiling putt would compromise your balance. Practicing kneeling putts helps you understand how the disc needs to be released to achieve the correct angle and distance.

STEP PUTT

The step putt is a common technique used to generate extra power from outside the 10 meter circle. Because stepping when you putt inside the circle is a foot fault, this technique is only legal from longer distances. To use a step putt, you begin stepping toward the basket and release the disc before your foot touches the ground.

Timing is critical because releasing too late results in a foot fault and releasing too early reduces power. Although the step putt can add distance, it introduces more movement and requires consistent mechanics to be effective. If you want the ability to use is properly, you should practice the technique to make sure your timing is right.

JUMP PUTT

A disc golfer using a jump putt

The jump putt is the more powerful sibling of the step putt. Instead of stepping forward, you jump toward the basket with both feet and release the disc just before you leave the ground. This motion transfers more energy into the putt and can significantly increase your distance.

Like the step putt, the jump putt must be used outside the 10 meter circle. It requires precise timing but can come in handy if you have a long putt.

Summary

No matter which putting technique you prefer, the key to success is practice. Repetition is the key to confident and successful putts. Once you develop a reliable form, you can adapt to different situations and use different techniques when needed. Spend a few minutes each session practicing new methods so you are prepared for anything the course throws at you.

Disc Golf Throwing Styles

To a non-disc golfer, our sport looks pretty simple. You pick up a disc, throw it toward the basket, repeat until you get the disc in the basket. Once you start playing regularly, you realize the game has a little more nuance. Different holes, obstacles, wind conditions, distances, and shot shapes are more easily accomplished using different throwing styles. The more techniques you learn, the more options you have on the course. Whether you are brand new to disc golf or looking to expand your shot selection, understanding the popular throwing styles is one of the best ways to improve your game.

Below is a look into the most common throwing styles in disc golf. We’ll discuss what they are, when to use them, and what makes each one unique.

Backhand

The backhand is the throw most players learn first. It is powerful and takes advantage of many different muscles. If you have ever thrown a traditional Frisbee, you already understand the basic motion: reach back, rotate your hips and shoulders, and pull the disc forward across your body.

Why it is useful: The backhand generates excellent distance because it allows for a long reach back and strong rotational power. It is the throwing style that brings the most muscles into play

When to use it:

  • Long tee shots
  • Controlled fairway drives

What to practice: Focus on timing instead of power. Smooth acceleration, proper form, and weight transfer will add more distance than just throwing as hard as you can. Once your timing is fairly consistent, you can add more power

Forehand (Sidearm)

A disc golfer making a forehand shot

The forehand, often called a sidearm or flick shot, is thrown with the palm facing up and the disc flicked forward using wrist snap and elbow extension. It is the go to shot for many players because and perfect for shaping lines that need to finish in the opposite direction of a backhand. Plus, you can keep an eye on your target the entire

Why it is useful: Forehand shots naturally fade in the opposite direction of a backhand shot. That can be crucial if there is a right-hand corner late in the flight. It is also easier to throw forehand from awkward stances, such as when you are pinned behind a tree or stuck in rough terrain.

When to use it:

  • Sharp dogleg right holes for right handed players
  • Skip shots that need to flare hard at the end

What to practice: Work on clean wrist snap and keeping the disc on a flat plane. Many players struggle with wobble early on, but that usually disappears as your mechanics improve.

Hyzer and Anhyzer

a disc held on a hyzer angle

 

Disc on an anhyzer angleHyzer and anhyzer are not separate throwing styles, they are angles you apply to any throw. They are so fundamental to disc golf that they deserve their own spotlight.

Hyzer: The disc is released with the outside edge angled downward. Anhyzer: The disc is released with the outside edge angled upward.

These angles dramatically change the disc’s flight path. A hyzer will typically produce a smooth, reliable fade. It can also minimize skipping. Throwing an understable disc on a hyzer angle helps the disc flip to flat and fly a long way.

An anhyzer angle causes the disc to drift to the right before finishing to the left.

Why they are useful: Mastering angle control opens your options for any hole shape. Once you understand how different discs behave on different angles, you can hit lines around trees, achieve shots down tunnels, and land closer to your intended target.

When to use them:

  • Hyzer: predictable fades, spike hyzers, headwinds
  • Anhyzer: turnovers, right hand turns, tailwinds

What to practice: Throw a variety of discs on multiple angles and see how the flight changes. This lets you know what disc and angle is needed for a particular hole.

The Roller

A roller is a throw designed to land on its edge and roll along the ground. It is fun to watch and can deliver some super-long throws.

Why it is useful: Rollers can achieve massive distance on flat ground, especially in calm conditions. They are also great for navigating low ceilings or fairways thick with trees where an air shot would be too risky.

When to use it:

  • Long, open fairways
  • Low ceilings where you cannot throw high
  • Hardpan or short grass surfaces

What to practice: Start with understable discs. Release them on a steep anhyzer angle and let the disc’s natural turn carry it to the ground. Over time, you will learn how to control the angle, speed, and landing point to match the fairway and come down on the correct angle.

Overhand Throws (Tomahawk and Thumber)

A professional disc golfer preparing to throw a disc.

Overhand throws look more like baseball or football motions than traditional disc golf throws. The two main types are the tomahawk and the thumber.

  • Tomahawk: Thrown like an overhand baseball pitch with the disc’s top facing to the left and your fingers on the rim.
  • Thumber: Thrown with your thumb inside the rim and the disc’s top facing right.

Both shots fly in a vertical arc and then pan out horizontally before fading.

Why they are useful: Overhand throws are excellent for getting over tall obstacles or escaping from dense rough. They also produce very predictable movement once you understand how they pan and fade.

When to use them:

  • Over trees or bushes
  • Tight vertical gaps
  • Emergency scramble shots
  • Holes that require a steep, controlled descent

What to practice: Experiment with different discs. Overstable discs produce sharper, faster pans, while understable discs create longer, slower arcs. Pay attention to how quickly the disc turns and where it lands.

The Jump Putt and Step Putt

Dave Fedlberg at US Masters

Putting styles vary widely, but jump putts and step putts are two techniques used outside Circle 1 to add extra power while staying within the rules.

Why they are useful: These techniques allow you to generate forward momentum and extend your putting range without switching to a full throw.

When to use them:

  • Circle 2 putts
  • Long bids where you still want a chance to score
  • Approaches that require touch but not a full throw

What to practice: Focus on balance and timing. Your supporting foot must leave the ground only after the disc is released to stay within the rules. Smooth, controlled motion is more important than power.

Building a Complete Throwing Toolkit

The best disc golfers are not always the ones who throw the farthest. They are the players who can adapt. Every course and every lie presents a new puzzle. The more throwing styles you have in your toolkit, the more solutions you can create.

Start with the basics, backhand and forehand. Add angle control with hyzers and anhyzers. Then experiment with rollers, overhands, and specialty putts. Over time, you will develop a personal style that feels natural, confident, and uniquely yours, and your scorecard will start to show the difference.

Elevation’s Eco line uses 30% of different waste materials in their discs. That waste material can come from post-consumer tires, rubber gloves, other rubber medical waste. That helps keep a lot of rubber out of landfills.

Reblend is Prodigy’s approach to using discs that don’t meet their production standards. The premium discs are ground up and used to create new discs. Their Reblend plastic comes from discs made with 400, 500, 750, Special Blend, and ProFlex plastics. The result is a grippy, durable plastic.

Other Eco Conscious Practices

Not every disc is made from recycled plastic, but many brands are making progress in other areas. Innova has explored eco friendly packaging and reduced energy consumption in manufacturing. Smaller brands and custom disc dyers are experimenting with water based dyes and biodegradable packaging. Some disc golf bag manufacturers are beginning to use recycled fabrics and materials, which is a trend worth watching.

Shopping Green: Tips for Eco Friendly Disc Buying

If you want to shop greener, look for recycled plastic labels such as R2 Neutron, BioFuzion, I Blend, Recycled Line, or Recycled ESP. Buying factory seconds or misprints is another great option because they are often cheaper and help reduce waste. You can also check packaging to see whether retailers use eco friendly shipping materials like compostable mailers or recycled boxes.

Final Thoughts

Disc golf takes place in parks, forests, and mountains, and supporting brands that reduce their environmental impact is one small way to give back to the sport and the planet. Whether you are buying your first disc or restocking for tournament season, take a moment to see if there is a recycled or earth friendly option available. These discs fly great, look cool, and help keep your favorite courses beautiful for future generations. This Earth Day, let us throw a little greener and play a little cleaner.

We are looking for a new mold for the Infinite lineup. Which disc we add will be determined by YOU. Yep, the disc you choose might be the next disc we produce. Here is how this will work. We have three candidates for the next disc. Whichever of the three discs gets the most votes will be our newest mold.

The flight numbers for these molds were selected based on feedback from early testers. Lets check out the contenders.

Prototype I  12/6/-2/2

A new prototype disc from Infinite

At speed 12, this disc is the highest speed of the three. It flies somewhere between the Emperor and Maya. It has a lot of glide, plenty of turn, and a reliable fade. That combination makes the Prototype I very shapable. If you are looking for a new high-speed Infinite driver then this disc will get your vote.

Prototype II  8/6/0/1

A new prototype disc from Infinite

This mold is a solid fairway driver that sits somewhere between a Centurion and an Exodus. It has a straight flight that lets you control your shot with precision. The Prototype II has a mild fade at the end of the flight that will minimize skips to let you land right where you want.

Prototype III  10/5/-.5/2

How to Avoid Losing Discs

Even though the winter here in Utah was very mild, it is still nice to see spring come to town. The warmer weather and longer days mean more time can be spent throwing discs. Unfortunately, the more we play, the more chances we have of losing a disc.

In this blog I’ll give you a few tips that will reduce the chances of losing a disc, and increase the chances of getting your disc back if you do lose one. I want to repost this blog every spring as a reminder to everyone.

No matter how skilled you are at disc golf, you are bound to lose a disc from time to time. Whether you lose it in a body of water, thick bushes, tall trees, or even disappearing in the snow. So what can you do to improve your chances of seeing it again? Here are a few steps you can take.

1 – Write Your Contact Info on Your Discs

Adding your name or some kind of contact info gives you a much better chance of getting a lost disc back. If you do not want to put your real name or phone number, you can use an email address. You can also get a Google Voice number that you use only for disc golf and write that on your discs. Whatever you choose, giving people a way to reach you can make all the difference.

2 – Check Your Penmanship

It is frustrating to find a disc with a phone number that is difficult or impossible to read. Is that digit a six, an eight, or maybe a sloppy zero? Most people do not want to text a bunch of wrong numbers just to return a disc. If your handwriting is not the clearest, ask someone else to write it for you. Another easy option is to buy a small rubber stamp with your info so you can mark your discs quickly and clearly.

3 – Refresh and Update

Even if you mark your discs, the ink will fade over time. That number you wrote last season might be barely visible now, which forces people to guess what the digits are. At the start of each season, take a minute to check your discs and rewrite anything that has faded. You will save the next person from having to play detective.

Also remember to update your discs if you change your phone number. It is frustrating to try to return a disc and get a message saying the number is no longer in service or to have someone reply that you reached the wrong person.

Bye-Bye Bag

Every year I see posts from players whose entire disc golf bag was stolen, usually from a car. It is great to see that club members frequently step up and help replace discs, but avoiding the theft in the first place is even better. Keeping your bag out of your car reduces the chances of someone grabbing it. If you like to keep your bag in your car for convenience, at least store it in the trunk. If it is not visible, it is less tempting for someone looking for an easy score. A determined thief could still break into a trunk or even a house, but most people are not going to that level of effort for a bag of discs.

Retrieve Your Own Disc

One way to help yourself from losing a disc in the first place is to carry a retriever. I’ve used a retriever to get numerous discs out of ponds, trees, rivers, and over fences. They are fairly compact, and pay for themselves after a few retrievals. Here are a few retriever options.

Extendable

These retrievers extend so you can ‘grab’ the disc with a hook or a suction cup ball. The suction cup works great in still water, like a pond or lake. They are a little trickier in a river. Sometimes the force of the water rips the disc off the suction cups. Retrievers with hook ends are better for getting a disc out of a tree. They can also be used to snag a disc in water.

Folding (On a Rope)

This type of retriever works best for retrieving a disc from a pond or lake. You don’t HAVE to be able to see the disc, but it saves a lot of time if you can see it. It works by throwing the retriever past the disc, then dragging it back over the disc. It doesn’t work well if the bottom of the pond or lake has a lot of large rocks. The retriever needs to be able to slide under the disc in order to trap it. Rocks might prevent that from happening.

Pro Tip: Instead of wrapping the rope around the retriever, wrap it around something else, like a spool for kite string or construction line. Then you don’t have to unwind the whole thing in order to use it. You can also add more rope if you want need to throw farther

Get Your Discs Back

After a recent tournament and league night, I found 38 discs in or near the river that runs through the course. I was able to contact the owners of 28 of them because the discs had phone numbers. That is a decent return rate. All of that happened because people took a moment to write their info on their discs. If you want to increase your chances of getting your discs back, mark them.

If you do end up needing to replace a lost disc, I know a great place to shop for a new one.

Laws Regarding Found Property

There is always debate about whether people should return discs they find. Some players stick to Finders Keepers while others make an effort to track down the owner. So what does the law say? In Utah and some nearby states, the law technically requires you to notify or surrender found property to law enforcement or a government office. In reality, this almost never happens in the disc golf world. Idaho law only applies to items worth over one hundred dollars, which rules out most discs. These laws exist, but they are rarely enforced and have very little impact on what actually happens on the course.
