In this two minute putting clinic, disc golf legend Dave Feldberg explains the importance of consistency when putting. To be a more consistent putter, you need to hit the mark. Start your motion at the same point where you will release the putter. When you drop the disc back, a slower drop back will provide more consistently to help you hit the mark. When you’re hitting the mark more consistently, you will make more putts.

It’s that time of year to get the luck of the Irish. The day to wear green, St. Patricks day is arriving. One of the best things about St. Patrick’s Day for disc golf is that it means disc golf season is upon us. In colder areas where we haven’t been able to get much disc golf over the dark winter months, St. Patrick’s day brings a change of the seasons.
With this Lucky time of year, many of the disc golf manufacturers put up special Saint Patrick’s Day Discs. If you’re a disc golf enthusiast, you probably know that disc golf manufacturers are known for their creative and unique designs. They constantly come up with new and exciting limited edition discs to add a special touch to the game. And now, just in time for the upcoming disc golf season, they have introduced something truly special – Lucky Edition Discs. What makes these discs so special?
Well, as the name suggests, they are designed to bring a little luck to your game. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, having a lucky disc in your bag can make all the difference. It might give you that extra boost of confidence you need to make that perfect putt or throw that incredible drive.
The latest addition to the Lucky Edition Discs lineup is the Lucky Aviar. Released in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, these limited edition putters feature a unique hotstamp design – a lucky horseshoe on vibrant green and white Aviars. It’s not only a nod to Irish traditions but also an invitation to embrace good fortune on the disc golf course. But here’s the catch – these stamps are limited edition and are not likely to be produced again. So if you want to get your hands on one of these lucky discs, now’s the time. Maybe you’ll even find the ace pot of gold at the end of your disc golf round today.
What better way to start off than the disc golf season with a little luck? Shake off the rust and get your disc golf game on point with a limited edition Lucky Aviar. The release of these lucky putters is just in time for Saint Patricks Day. This years version has a lucky horse shoe hotstamp on green and white Aviars.
These are limited edition Lucky Disc stamps that will likely never be run again.
Our second week of the professional disc golf team competition was another exciting one. Eagle McMahon dominated the tournament averaging 1077 rated rounds while making Fountain Hills look like a beginner course. Fellow Discmania teammate Simon Lizotte was not far behind him. The domination by the “crush brothers” earned enough points for Team Discmania to claim the win for the men’s side of the team competition.
On the women’s side, Finnish sensation Evalina Salonen extended her final round lead by shooting an incredible 1015 rated round; securing the win for Team Innova over a surging Paige Pierce and Team Dynamic Discs.
Team Innova won the overall competition when combining both results for both the men and women.

Overall Standings
With another dominating performance by Team Innova, they are clearly #1 in the overall performance after two weeks. Team Discmania may have a chance to secure a few more victories on the men’s side of the competition if the Crush brothers keep finishing in the top positions. Team Prodigy and Discraft have the talent to compete on any given week, we just haven’t seen any top finishes yet.
On the women’s side, it appears that the real competition will be between Team Innova and Team Dynamic Discs. Prodigy, Discraft, and MVP all have talented players, but just don’t have the number of top tier players to earn enough points to compete throughout the overall season.
If you’ve been following some of our recent blog posts, we’ve evaluated the “Team” aspect of disc golf.
While some of the employees at Infinite Discs were discussing “Disc Golf Teams,” we thought it would be fun to find out who really has the best disc golf team — from an on the course competitive standpoint.
Our intern Ethan has created a website that shows team results for the different disc golf pro tour and national tour events using a point system similar to cross country and swimming.
To put something on the line, and reward the winning “team” we are also giving a 10% off discount code for the winning team’s brand the week following each major tournament.
Results from the Las Vegas Challenge are in. If you want to find out who won, and take advantage of this weeks discount code, check out the new team competition website at DiscGolfTeams.com
Infinite Discs is a major sponsor at this years Las Vegas Challenge presented by Innova Champion Discs. We are the course sponsors for what is now known as the “Infinite Course.” To help us continue sponsoring professional disc golf events such as this, consider purchasing some of our Las Vegas Challenge fundraiser discs here.

It’s Valentine’s Day, not April Fools Day, and according to this latest announcement you’ll now be able to throw a “mixed-bag” all under the same Discmania name.
Discmania CEO Jussi Meresmaa has announced that they will offer “more choices to reinvent your game” by partnering with Latitude 64 in Sweden and Yikun Disc Sports in China to create two new sub-brand discs.
Over the past twelve years, Discmania brand discs were manufactured exclusively by Innova Champion Discs. These discs will continue being sold and produced under the name Discmania Originals.
The discs Latitude 64 will make will use the sub-brand Discmania Evolution. There are plans for four discs this year with one scheduled for release each month beginning March. The new disc molds include: Evolution Enigma, Evolution Instinct, Evolution Method, and the Evolution Link.
The disc line produced by Yikun will be using the sub brand Discmania Active. It appears that the partnership with Yikun is primarily to get very low-cost plastic, as the Active line discs are only scheduled to be released in a base plastic called, Base Level Plastic. Five discs have been announced for release in the Active Line: Guardian Lion, Spring Ox, Fox Spirit, Sea Serpent, and Sun Crow. All five of these discs are scheduled for release in March. It appears that the Active line is going to keep it really simple with these discs being available in just three colors: pink, white, and blue.
It’s hard to say for sure. What we do know at Infinite Discs is that in terms of sales, the Discmania brand has been our fastest growing brand over the past three years.
This partnership also leads to a lot of speculation and questions. How much will this impact Discmania’s already rapidly growing brand? Discmania can now offer versions of the best molds in the best plastics from the two top manufactures in disc golf. They will also be able to offer very inexpensive discs that will likely help them increase their distribution in sporting goods and big box stores that focus primarily on price.
Will the fact that Latitude 64 manufactured discs will no longer be distributed exclusively by Dynamic Discs hurt the Trilogy brands growth? How will this separation impact Innova? We’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions, so please comment below!
