The President of the United States issued the State of the Union address last night. Now it’s time to find out the State of Disc Golf.
The State of Disc golf survey is conducted annually by Infinite Discs to help us find out trends and opinions among the disc golf community. After survey results are gathered, analysis of the results are published here weekly on our blog.
By taking this survey you are gathering fun information and helping out stakeholders within the disc golf industry. Results are valuable to disc golf companies, sponsors, tournament directors, course designers and local communities.
Win Awesome Disc Golf Prizes!
By taking the survey you’re also available for a variety of different disc golf prizes. In the past we’ve given away disc golf bags baskets carts, gift cards and lots of discs.
Prize winners are randomly selected and all you need to do to be eligible is to take the survey!
Read Previous State of Disc Golf Results
According to the 2022 survey results, Paige Pierce was overwhelmingly the most popular FPO player. We have a feeling this years results will be much different. With disc golf trends and popularity changing so quickly it’s fun to compare the different year by year trends.

Participation is required for a chance to win; this may involve activities such as liking and commenting on a social media post, interacting with our Youtube Channel, completing a survey, or engaging with our blog.

With Christmas drawing near, we have a lot of customers who want to know if their package will arrive by Christmas.
Our staff at Infinite Discs is doing all we can to ensure that your package will arrive by December 25th. All orders received by 4:30 PM MST, are shipped out the same day. With that said, we have to rely on the different parcel carriers for the actual delivery. We cannot guarantee any delivery by a certain date. Here are some guidelines for the last days you will want to order different items, if you want to make sure* they arrive before Christmas. Read this article if you’re looking for good Christmas Gift Ideas.
Small Packages:
Safe Order Deadline to arrive by Christmas: Friday, December 16th.
Because we are located in Utah, areas in the Western United States are likely to receive packages in less transit time than those in the Eastern US. For those in the West there’s a good chance that you still might receive your package by Christmas if you order it before Dec 21st.
Assuming the worst with a 5 day delivery (in most instances it will be less), unless you make a Priority mail upgrade you will want to make sure your order is in by 4:30 on Friday, December 16th, 2022.
With Priority Mail Upgrade
If you pay extra for the “Shipping Upgrade” (2-5 day delivery), your likely safe date to receive by Christmas is extended two additional days to Monday, December 19th. The package will most likely arrive in time if the order is placed early in the day by Friday as well, but if your order is made after 4:30 PM on the 20th, and you NEED it by Christmas, contact support@infinitediscs.com and we can give you a quote of what the cost will be for expedited shipping.
Medium Sized Packages:
Safe Order Deadline without Priority Upgrade: Monday, December 16th
For medium sized packages 5-11 discs and economy bags, we usually ship UPS Ground to Easern states and USPS Priority mail to Western States. Depending on your proximity to Utah, and the size of your package, these packages may also go USPS Priority Mail. Orders received by 4:30 on Friday, December 16th, should arrive by Christmas.
UPS offers a service to estimate your approximate shipping time. Use this tool to see what they estimate for a shipment from Logan, Utah 84321 to your address with this tool.
If your order is made after December 16th, and you NEED it by Christmas, contact support@infinitediscs.com and we can give you a quote of what the cost will be for express delivery.
Large Packages
Safe Order Deadline: Friday, December 13th
Large packages including baskets, large backpacks, and 11+ discs are typically shipped by UPS ground, which can take up to a week to arrive depending on your location and proximity to Utah. It’s also important to know that many of these products are drop shipped directly from the manufacturer, who may not process your order as quickly as we do in house. If you want a large package to arrive by Christmas, you’ll likely be fine if your order is in by December 16th, but to be safe, you’ll want them in by 2:00 on Wednesday the 14th.
Unless you want to specifically arrange to pay a small fortune for expedited shipping, make sure you have them in early. Large packages are not eligible for USPS priority upgrade shipping. When shipping upgrades are made on our website, you receive expedited processing, but there are often no 3 day shipping options. Shipping large packages overnight or priority mail can literally cost you hundreds of dollars. If you need an expedited order for a large package, contact support@infinitediscs.com for a quote on your different shipping options.
International Orders
Safe Order Deadline: It Might Be Too Late
If you want something internationally, it might already be too late to get to you by Christmas. For international shipping we use UPS Mail Innovations which usually arrives to Canada and Europe within two weeks, but not always. So if you order before December 9th there is a good chance you will receive it by Christmas, but there is no guarantee.
There are expedited international shipping options, but they are very costly. Contact our support team if you would like a quote for expedited International delivery.
If you’re too late for a disc golf Christmas gift, There is always next year right? Or, consider a Happy New Year gift… But you don’t really need a reason to give somebody a great disc golf gift do you?
Gift Cards
Deadline to Arrive By Christmas: December 25th
The safest bet (and arguably the best Christmas gift for an avid disc golfer) is an E-Gift card. An email gift card code will be sent to you (or directly to the recipient) within seconds. The other nice thing about an electronic gift card is that you can personalize it any way you want. Print it up and put it in a card or a picture with an original poem you wrote, or a picture of yourself. Who doesn’t like a personalized gift? Or to make things super simple, just email the code directly to the recipient.
Overnight Shipping?
Safe Order Deadline: Nonexistent
What if I wait until the week of Christmas to make my order? Overnight and rushed 2 day shipping options are available, but these can get pricey and there are no promises on delivery time. This is not a safe option, however, if you would like to give it a try, email or call us before you make the order. The shipping price on these are determined case by case. Again, at this point, the best ordering option may be a gift card.
*In rare instances (less than 1% of all orders), packages get misplaced or lost by the individual carriers, or bad weather slows pickup or delivery, and packages do not arrive by the estimated time frame. We cannot guarantee that any package will actually arrive by Christmas.
You’ve seen them before. Those colorful discs with intricate designs that make them stand
out from the rest. Perhaps you’ve even been tempted to purchase one, but you weren’t quite sure what they were all about. Well, wonder no more! We’ll explore the world of custom disc golf discs and everything that goes into making them. From UV printing to fabric dyes, there’s a lot that goes into making these discs unique. And with so many professional dyers out there, the possibilities are endless!
The first step in creating a custom disc is starting with a premium plastic disc golf disc. If
you’re looking for a premium disc golf disc, look no further. We have the largest selection of premium plastic discs available. Use the advanced search tool to isolate white premium
plastic discs or select from already dyed discs you can purchase immediately.
Use these links to find discs that don’t already have hot stamps on them:
The most popular method for customizing discs is through the use of fabric dyes. This
method allows for a wide range of colors and designs to be applied to the discs. Fabric dyeing is often done by professional dyers who specialize in this type of work.
We’ve worked with several different dyers over the years to provide a unique selection of completely custom disc golf discs.
If you’re looking to create a custom disc golf disc, look no further than Jory Reid. He’s a professional dyer with years of experience in the industry and a large selection of colors and designs to choose from. His discs are made with high-quality materials and attention to detail, ensuring that your disc will be one-of-a-kind. Check out current Jory Fly Dye discs for sale here.
Hot Stamped Discs
At Infinite Discs we have two different hot stamping machines. A traditional single foil machine and a custom built three foil machine that allows us to have three different foil colors on each disc. This allows us to create some unique custom options. Anyone can order custom stamps as part of our custom stamp program here.
The disadvantage of hot stamping is that their is a substantial cost to each stamp plate. It currently costs about $100 for each stamp plate, which means an up front cost of $300 for a triple foil job. Because of this significant up front cost, custom hot stamping doesn’t make a lot of sense unless you plan to do large quantities of discs.
Custom Hot stamping is an excellent choice for tournaments and special events. To be cost effective, you typically want to order at least 100 hot stamp discs.
UV Printing on Discs
Another popular method for customizing disc golf discs is UV printing. This involves using a
special printer to apply a design to the disc. The design is then cured with UV light, which
makes it permanent. This method is great for complex designs or for reproducing logos and other images on discs. Innova uses this popular method to create their latest full color
InnVision stamps. Check out the Invision Wraith here.
Some sites allow you to create and upload a specific design or photo for a full-color custom disc golf disc. Infinite Discs has plans to make this an option on a variety of different blank discs in 2023. We should have lots of fun possibilities available at low quantities with this exciting technology.
If you’re looking for a truly unique disc golf disc, there are plenty of options available to
you. From UV printing to fabric dyes, there’s a lot that goes into making disc golf discs one-of-a-kind. And with so many professional dyers out there, the possibilities are endless!
This is arguably the biggest week of the year for the disc golf world. It is THE week when a World Champion will be crowned.
Now, the reality is that the PDGA Disc Golf World Championship is basically just another disc golf tournament. It’s a little bit longer than most pro events, but the only thing that matters is how an individual player plays this week. It doesn’t matter how well they’ve played the rest of the season, what matters is how they perform right now. The different between Worlds and any other tournament is the history of the event and the Title associated with the winning it.
If you don’t think there is anything different between this and other tournaments, ask Paul McBeth or Paige Pierce what they think. Even better, watch the documentaries on the Disc Golf Network.
To help you prepare for the drama of Worlds, Jace (used to be our main blog writer, now the editor at Disc Golf Reviewer) has broken down the narratives of who and what to watch among the MPO field.
MPO Players and Narratives to Watch For
Today the 2022 PDGA Disc Golf World Championship kicks off in Emporia, Kansas. Worlds is the biggest event in our sport, and after last year’s “Holy Shot” and phenomenal playoff finish, there is a tangible buzz in the air leading up to this year’s MPO event. The drama of last year’s
event and the pandemic have drawn a lot of new eyes to professional disc golf. So whether you are new to Worlds or you’ve been following since the Ken Climo days, here are some names and narratives to follow as you take in all 5 rounds of the high disc flying action this week.
Ricky Wysocki
Ricky Wysocki enters Worlds as one of if not the presumptive favorite to win the event and make himself a 3x World Champion. He has had an excellent 2022 season on tour with wins at Texas States, Ledgestone, and DDO, the latter was of course played on the same courses he will be navigating this week in Emporia.
There are lots of narratives to keep tabs on when watching Ricky this year. Emporia, Kansas hosted Worlds just six years ago in 2016, which is the year Ricky broke through the glass ceiling to finally win his first World Championship after finishing as runner-up in 3 of the previous 4 years. And let’s not forget whose plastic he was throwing and will be throwing now—For the 2016 season, Ricky left his long time sponsor Prodigy Disc to join Team Latitude 64 and switch his bag over to Trilogy (Latitude 64, Westside Discs, and Dynamic Discs). Dynamic Discs is headquartered in Emporia, Kansas.
After winning another World Championship with Latitude 64 in 2017, in 2019 Ricky Wysocki switched disc sponsors again and joined Team Innova, only to switch sponsors again at the beginning of this 2022 season. What team does Ricky represent now?
Dynamic Discs, meaning Ricky is back to throwing the same plastic he was throwing when he won his two previous Worlds. Oh, and perhaps you’ve heard of his rival…
Paul McBeth
You can’t spell Disc Golf World Championship without Paul McBeth. While McBeth hasn’t
been as dominant in recent years (BTW, I’d take 2015 McBeth over peak Jordan or Woods any
day of the week, but especially on Sundays), he is still the biggest name in the sport, and it would
be a tragic mistake to overlook him. In every Worlds since 2012, Paul has finished as either the champion or the runner-up. He is a 5x World Champion for a reason, and I guarantee McBeast is one of if not the biggest concern for anyone who has hopes for taking home the crown this week.
Some folks might try to make a big deal about Paul’s poor performance in Emporia earlier this year at DDO where he missed the cut for the first time ever in his career, but this feels negligible to me for a player of Paul’s caliber. He also finished runner-up at Worlds in Emporia just six years ago.
Rather, the biggest narrative I’m following this week with Paul is the revenge narrative. He knows as well as the rest of the world that he was one miraculous “Holy Shot” away from taking home his sixth world title last year. The James Conrad throw in has overall been framed as a positive for the world of disc golf—it brought eyes and attention to disc golf and has been a resource to “grow the sport” as we say. But all of this growth and positivity has been at Paul’s expense, and not a day goes by that he isn’t reminded of it.
The comment he made off the cuff about losing worlds to an only backhand player when he was asked at the European Open about Eagle McMahon only throwing backhand shots due to injury shows me just how present last year’s Worlds are in McBeth’s psyche.
Will he be able to reign that emotion and energy in and perform when it’s go time? Looking at how Worlds has gone for the past decade, I think the odds are in his favor.
Live Coverage begins at on the Disc Golf Network at 2:30 PM Central Time. Post production coverage (hopefully next day) will be provided on the YouTube channels of JomezPro, GK Pro, Gatekeeper Media and Ace Run Productions.
The very first disc in Drew Gibson’s new Finish Line is under production. Everyone who has thrown Era prototypes is very excited about this new disc and its potential.
This fast, far flying fairway driver has an ability to stay straight longer than just about any driver on the market. It is easy to control, works for players of all skill level, and works well both backhand and forehand. The initial run of Era’s is in Finish Lines Forged plastic blend.
The Era will be released for retail sale by major disc golf retailers in March, but a limited number of pre-release discs are available for pre-order now. These discs will feature a special “Launch Edition” stamp and there will be no more than 500 of each color. This rare first disc in the new Gibson line will likely become collectible in the future.
*Note, if you order the Era along with other products, the entire shipment will be sent together. If you need other products now, please make the Era as a separate order.
We are very excited to announce that Infinite Discs is partnering with Eric Oakley!
We are proud to sponsor him as he competes in the upcoming professional touring season, and we’re also excited about all of the ways in which we’ll be able to work together for the growth of the sport.
You can expect a lot of helpful disc and product reviews, some fun signature releases, and tournament events in many parts of the country as Eric tours in 2022. We look forward to a great year with Eric!
Eric’s disc golf career really began when he was living in Utah. The first tournament where he ever cashed was the Infinite Discs Cache Valley Classic, located at the Logan fairgrounds — just blocks away from Infinite Discs headquarters. Eric was a member of the first ever Team Infinite discs for a short time before he signed with Discmania.
Eric will be a valuable asset to Infinite Discs by utilizing his online reach to grow disc golf and share product insight and reviews from dozens of different disc golf brands. Be sure to follow Eric on social media for valuable information and giveaways here:

Sorry for the inconvenience.
BLACK FRIDAY 2021
For 2021 our Black Friday weekend sale had to be adapted to account for the supply chain struggles in the disc golf market. Because we are unable to get many of the popular disc models from top manufacturers it has become even more difficult to get anything “special” or “unique” to offer our loyal customers and holiday shoppers. But we still managed to pull together some fun stamps and special runs which also highlight some of the smaller brands with great products. Plus, we’ll be putting a lot of those smaller brands on sale so that you can try them out at a discounted price.
DATES AND DISC DROPS
Our sale will kick off on Thanksgiving night, launching in full force on Black Friday (November 26th) and continuing through Cyber Monday (November 29th).

Also, all of our special edition disc drops will be released in waves, with SOME OF EACH DISC DROPPING AT FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES during the weekend. That way, you will not need to feel pressure to be awake in the middle of the night or to watch for special dates and times for particular releases.

Black Friday is our busiest week of the year at Infinite Discs. Before the actual sales week, we spend months planning and working with different disc golf artists and manufacturers to provide you with savings, unique items, limited runs and a fun disc golf shopping experience.
Discount Prices on Major Disc Golf Brands
With the unique disc golf supply chain situation, discount prices on many of the major brands is not possible this year. If you are a regular disc golf shopper, you’ve probably noticed that most disc molds in brands like Innova, Discraft, Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64, Westside and MVP have not been regularly in stock. We cannot keep these these discs in stock during regular times and sales prices on these items would further strain the problem. We have done our best to provide some special releases from these brands and for Black Friday week and have the most inventory we’ve had on hand since the pandemic began.
With major inflation in plastic prices and shipping costs, all of the major manufacturers have had to raise the price of their products twice during the last year. The most recent price increase from Dynamic Discs was just announced yesterday. The MSRP of some plastic types raised by as much as $3. We wish this wasn’t the case, but expect higher disc prices to be the norm for the foreseeable future. For Black Friday week, all Trilogy discs will remain at their pre price hike rate.
While we have severe supply shortage from the major brands, we have been able to work out deals with many of the small brands where we are able to work out ultra low sale prices for the entire sales week.
Shipping During Black Friday Week
Our sales volume during Black Friday week is more than the rest of November combined. This is a big strain on our shipping capacity and work force. Be assured that we are doing all we can to get your package shipped out as fast as possible. For this weekend only we have crews working night shifts around the clock.
Not only is the Black Friday – Cyber Monday weekend our busiest shipping week of the year, but it is also the biggest shipping time for UPS, FedEx and the US Postal Service. These companies are doing the best they can, but some packages are slower than normal due to the sheer volume increase. We have additional Saturday pickups arranged with the major shipping couriers and when our receiving dock gets too full we will take extra loads to UPS ourselves.
Please be patient if your order does not arrive as fast as it normally does. You can always view your shipment status by logging into your Infinite account and clicking my orders to track your order.
Please Be Patient with our Website and Server
Our website was developed nearly a decade ago and expanded piece by piece as we’ve added new elements and made improvements. It’s current capacity was not designed for our current traffic, especially the demand we see during shopping on Black Friday sales week. We currently have more than 70,000 individually photographed discs available for you to shop. The unique combination of so many individual products can easily strain the database and server.
When too much traffic hits the website at once our website often gets very slow and occasionally crashes completely. If this happens while you are shopping, please be patient and come back to the website and try again at a later time.
We have a new website in the works that will perform better and have many new and exciting features. Unfortunately, it is not yet ready so we will have to continue to use the old one for Black Friday 2021.
