2018 Disc of the Week–Week 6–Infinite Discs Exodus

This week is a very special one in Infinite Discs History! The Infinite Discs Exodus has been released TODAY!!! And we are celebrating by making it our disc of the week!

The Infinite Discs Exodus is the first disc to be released as part of our new partnership with Innova Champion Discs. This initial release of the Exodus is only available in the grippy and durable S-Blend plastic. We got in a few prototypes of the Exodus a few weeks ago, and we have been ecstatic with the way it has performed. It is a stable fairway driver that flies true to its flight numbers of 7/5/-0.5/2. In our experience, this disc will hold very straight for a long time–sneaky long for a 7 speed driver–and then have a strong and predictable fade at the end of the flight. Some of the old timers have even compared it to the old Eagle-L mold. So if this sounds like this disc could be right for you, give it a shot! This first run is only 800 discs, so we expect they will sell out fast!

For this first release week only, you can also take 15% off the Exodus by using the code: DWEXODUS18. And make sure to check out our Facebook page for a giveaway that we will be posting later today! We are pumped about this new chapter at Infinite Discs. Make sure you are a part of it by picking up an Exodus today!

 

2018 Disc of the Week–Week 5–Dynamic Discs Sheriff

Time for another disc of the week from Infinite Discs! This week we are featuring one of the hottest new discs in the Trilogy lineup–the Dynamic Discs Sheriff.

The Dynamic Discs Sheriff was released in January of 2017, and it has been a pretty big hit. In fact, it was the best selling driver from Dynamic Discs in 2017. The Sheriff is an understable distance driver that fills a key slot for a lot of disc golfers. While it is understable, it isn’t so flippy that throwers with bigger arms can’t use it. But also, it is understable enough that some newer players and smaller arms have been able to get distance that they couldn’t get before. It has a large rim, but isn’t uncomfortably large and should fit and feel comfortable in most players’ hands. The Sheriff has been a consistent seller since its release, and it looks like that isn’t going to change anytime soon!

If you have been thinking about giving the Dynamic Discs Sheriff a “shot” (get it?), now is the time to do it! And if you already love the Sheriff, here is your chance to stock up! All Dynamic Discs Sheriff discs are 15% off this week only when you use the discount code: DWSHERIFF18. Also make sure to enter our Facebook page giveaway that we will be posting later today!

2017 Disc of the Week–Week 4–Gateway Wizard

Another week closer to disc golf season means another disc of the week! This one is another oldie but goodie–The Gateway Wizard.

The Wizard is one of my personal favorites, and I know I am not alone! The Wizard is one of the best selling putters of all time. The Wizard is one of the deepest putters on the market and features a significant bead on the rim. Part of what makes the Wizard so popular is its versatility. With great glide and a predictable straight flight path with a slight overstable finish, the Wizard is one of the best driving putters on the market. Also with a nice comfortable fit in the hand, this disc is great for the short game as well. Adding to its versatility is the plethora of plastic blends it is available in. Gateway is notorious for making tons of putter plastic blends, and they are pretty much all available in the Wizard. Pretty much any disc golfer should be able to find a Wizard in a plastic blend that is perfect for them!

This week only, take 15% off the Gateway Wizard by using discount code: DWWIZARD18. If you are an avid Wizard thrower like me, or if you have been looking for a new putter to try out, now is the perfect time to grab one! Also, it is the off season! So stock up on your practice putters! And as always, make sure to checkout our Facebook page for a giveaway later today!

 

2018 Disc of the Week–Week 3–Discraft Buzzz

Are you ready for this week’s Disc of the Week!? This week we are featuring one of the most popular discs of all time, the Discraft Buzzz.

The Discraft Buzzz is one of the most iconic and most thrown discs in disc golf history. Many consider this disc the disc golf midrange disc. I know of lots of people who when they first started playing disc golf, the Buzzz was the only disc they used for months. It has a nice neutral flight pattern that literally any disc golfer can use in their repertoire. It’s beadless rim feels comfortable in the hand, and it is available in pretty much every Discraft plastic blend.

When we look at the sales numbers of the Discraft Buzzz, in our first year’s of business it was always the second most sold disc. In most recent years we saw it fall down the charts, but in 2017 it has climbed back up the charts and has been the top selling midrange for the last half of the year. If you have never thrown a Buzzz or (what is more likely the case) if you throw the Buzzz, now is a great time to stock up on back ups or to try it out in a new plastic blend!

This week only take 15% off the Discraft Buzzz by using the discount code: DWBUZZZ18. We have hundreds of them in stock, so take advantage of this deal and our awesome selection this week! And as always, don’t forget to enter our Facebook giveaway that we will post later today!

2018 Disc of the Week–Week 2–Axiom Envy

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! We hope everyone who gets to take the day off from work are enjoying it! But if you do have to work today, here is a silver lining! It is time for this week’s disc of the week, and this week we are featuring the Axiom Envy!

Ever since MVP added Axiom Discs to their family, the Envy has been one of their best sellers. This slightly overstable putt and approach disc is one of those awesome discs that is perfect for both driving from the tee and putting inside the circle. Also with Axiom Discs there is a neverending selection of color combinations to choose from between the flight plate and overmold.

We also saw a significant bump up in sales numbers for the Axiom Envy at the end of the year as they (finally) released the Envy in Electron and Electron Soft plastic, which is MVP/Axiom’s base plastic blend that is perfect for gripping putters. So if you don’t love your current putting putter or are having a hard time finding a driving putter that you feel confident in, give the Axiom Envy a try!

And this week is the perfect time to give this disc a try, because you can save 15% on all orders of the Axiom Envy by using the discount code: DWENVY18. The Gyro-heads love this disc, so find out what you have been missing out on by ordering your Axiom Envy today! Oh, and don’t forget to enter our Facebook giveaway that we will post later today!

 

2018 Disc of the Week–Week 1–Innova Destroyer

It’s that time of year again! Here at Infinite Discs at the start of every year we feature a different disc each week on our various social platforms. And this year we are kicking it off with the best selling disc of 2017–the one and only Innova Destroyer.

 

There are very few disc golfers in the world who haven’t heard of the Innova Destroyer, let alone thrown it at least once. It has become the gold standard for high speed drivers. When you are describing the flight pattern of any new 11-13 speed disc, it is pretty easy to just use the Destroyer as a point of reference: “Oh, it’s kind of like a Destroyer, but with a little more fade at the end,” or “Oh, it’s basically a more understable Destroyer.”

2017 was a pretty great year for the Innova Destroyer, as it was featured in a lot of Tour Series Fundraiser discs. First there was the extremely popular Philo Brathwaite Swirled Star Destroyer, and then there was the Steve Brinster Splatter Star Destroyer. Both of these discs were beautiful for the collectors, but they also flew great for the throwers. And of course, you can’t go wrong with a lovely stock run Star Destroyer featuring 4x World Champion Paul McBeth’s signature.

So for this week only, take 15% off every Innova Destroyer that we have in our inventory by using discount code: DWDESTROYER18. The Destroyer is already an insanely popular disc, so check our inventory right away to make sure you get first pick! Also make sure to enter our Facebook giveaway that we will post later today!

 

Top Selling Discs–Q4 of 2017

Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that it is already 2018! 2017 was a fantastic year at Infinite Discs as we continued to grow alongside this fantastic sport! Thank you everyone! We are always blown away by the fantastic support we receive from the disc golf community. We have some pretty big plans for 2018, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. But first, let’s take a look back at the best selling discs over the final 3 months of 2017.

Top 10 Overall

  1. Discmania P2 Psycho
  2. Innova Destroyer
  3. Innova Firebird
  4. Innova TeeBird
  5. Innova Nova
  6. Innova Aviar
  7. Axiom Envy
  8. Discraft Buzzz
  9. Innova Wraith
  10. Innova Thunderbird

Well, it looks like we are starting this off with a historic moment at Infinite Discs. For the first time ever, the Innova Destroyer was not the top selling disc of the quarter! The Discmania P2 is now the reigning “best selling disc” at Infinite Discs. It is safe to say that promotions helped–specifically the Glow D-Line P2 that released around Halloween and our special edition “Angels and Demons” P2 that we ran for Black Friday. So I am very curious to see what will happen this next quarter. We can also see two other discs that we don’t usually see in the top 10 overall that got some help. The black and white Innova Nova that we ran for Black Friday was a huge success, and the Axiom Envy was released in Electron and Electron Soft plastics earlier this quarter.

Top Distance Drivers

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Firebird
  3. Innova Wraith
  4. Innova Shryke
  5. Innova Valkyrie
  6. Innova Beast
  7. Innova Tern
  8. Innova Boss
  9. Dynamic Discs Trespass
  10. Vibram Lace

When compared to last quarter, the Distance Driver chart looks nearly identical. Innova claimed the top 8 spots again with a few discs moving up and down within that range. Once again the Dynamic Discs Trespass claimed the 9th spot on the chart. I commented last quarter that we hadn’t seen the Trespass in the top 10 for a while, and it is impressive to see that it was able to hold its ground. But at number 10 we see another old familiar name that we haven’t seen for quite a while on this list. The Vibram Lace was a hot seller as Vibram was able to hook us up with some very unique discs throughout this quarter and specifically at Black Friday.

Top Control/Fairway Drivers

  1. Innova Teebird
  2. Innova Thunderbird
  3. Innova Leopard
  4. Innova TeeBird3
  5. Innova Leopard3
  6. Discmania FD Jackal
  7. Innova Roadrunner
  8. Latitude 64 River
  9. Dynamic Discs Escape
  10. MVP Volt

Similar to the Distance Drivers, we don’t see any big shifts in the Control Drivers. The Innova Teebird was able to jump back into the top slot as the Innova TeeBird3 dropped down to number 4. At the bottom of the chart, the MVP Volt was able to jump back into the top 10 by finishing just barely ahead of the Innova Sidewinder in sales. This is a category that was for the most part untouched by holiday promotions and new releases, so it is no surprise to see much of the same here.

Top Midrange Discs

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc3
  3. Innova Mako3
  4. Hyzerbomb Mortar
  5. Innova Roc
  6. Innova Gator
  7. Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
  8. Discmania MD4
  9. Discmania MD3
  10. Discraft Comet

There are a couple new names in the Midrange category. The Innova Gator coming in at number 6 has made this list before, but it has been a little while. But the Hyzerbomb Mortar is the first Hyzerbomb disc to ever make it into this report finishing at number 4. This is mostly due to the current run of the Mortar being the microbead Big Jerm fundraiser edition. Also of note, the Discraft Buzzz was able to maintain its position as the top selling midrange. The Halloween Glo Buzzz likely helped, but maybe not a ton as it does look like we still have some in stock. But overall, it does seem that the Buzzz is regaining popularity in the disc golf world.

Top Putt and Approach Discs

  1. Discmania P2 Psycho
  2. Innova Nova
  3. Innova Aviar
  4. Axiom Envy
  5. Gateway Wizard
  6. Dynamic Discs Judge
  7. Dynamic Discs Deputy
  8. Latitude 64 Pure
  9. Westside Harp
  10. Dynamic Discs Warden

This quarter was a hot one for putters. The top 10 putters finished inside the top 22 selling discs overall. As I mentioned in the overall top 10, the Axiom Envy sold a lot in the newly released Electron and Electron Soft plastic. And the Dynamic Discs Deputy which was one of the Trilogy Challenge discs this summer was a big hit when it was released this fall. It also has benefited from a special Paige Pierce stamped edition as well as being released in the new and beautiful “burst” plastics from Trilogy.

So there it is! The final quarterly sales report of 2017. What can we take away from it? I have two thoughts that might be no-brainers, but it is interesting to see them in action. First–holiday sales promotions work. We can see that from the moves up the charts from discs like the Discmania P2, Innova Nova, and Vibram Lace. Second–new plastic release promotions still work. The discs most influenced this quarter were the Axiom EnvyDynamic Discs Deputy, and Hyzerbomb Mortar. And I guess you could throw the Vibram Lace in this category as well, as its holiday promotion was a new color pattern. But of course, that would be considered a new rubber release rather than a plastic…but you get my point.

Any other points or takeaways I missed? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Please leave a comment below. Thank you so much and I hope you all have a very happy 2018!

Top Selling Discs–Q3 of 2017

Well, the weather is getting colder, and I only have a couple tournaments left on my schedule for the 2017 season! October is here, which means it is time for another quarterly report on the top selling discs at Infinite Discs! It has been the busiest it has ever been here at Infinite, and we appreciate the support from our fantastic disc golf family! So thank you all very much! Now, let’s take a look at the best selling discs of Q3 2017!

Top 10 Overall

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Discmania P2 Psycho
  3. Innova Aviar
  4. Innova TeeBird3
  5. Innova TeeBird
  6. Innova Thunderbird
  7. Discraft Buzzz
  8. Innova Firebird
  9. Innova Roc3
  10. Dynamic Discs Judge

Last quarter I mentioned that we saw the tour fundraiser discs for the Innova team players have a major influence on our sales numbers, and I think it is safe to say we still see that influence throughout this quarter, though not as strong. The one obvious change we see in this quarter’s top 10 is the addition of the generally low selling Innova TeeBird3. It is safe to say that the Paul McBeth Fundraiser edition Metal Flake TeeBird3 is the sole reason we see this mold on the list. But a few molds were able to fight their way back up the charts in the midst of the fundraiser molds. The Discmania P2 Psycho was able to jump back up to the number 2 slot. Also the Discraft Buzzz jumped up 3 spots to number 7, and the Dynamic Discs Judge got back on the chart at number 10. Both the Buzzz and the Judge were long time top 3 selling discs, so it will be interesting to see if they continue to move back up the charts next quarter. Oh, and yes, The Innova Destroyer still has not been dethroned. Maybe someday…but also maybe not…

Top Distance Drivers

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Firebird
  3. Innova Valkyrie
  4. Innova Wraith
  5. Innova Shryke
  6. Innova Beast
  7. Innova Boss
  8. Innova Tern
  9. Dynamic Discs Trespass
  10. Dynamic Discs Sheriff

Well, last quarter Innova impressed by claiming 8 of the top 10 distance drivers, and those same 8 molds impressed again by claiming the top 8 spots. Could we ever see an Innova complete sweep? It is definitely possible. The Innova Mamba came in at number 12 while the Innova Katana finished 14th this quarter. But let’s not forget to give Dynamic Discs some credit in this category. The Dynamic Discs Trespass finishing 9th was one of my biggest surprises this quarter. I don’t remember the last time the Trespass cracked into the top 10. And the new Dynamic Discs Sheriff has been a big hit so far for Trilogy throwers. It will be interesting to see if it can continue to hold in the top 10 as time goes on. Oh, and what mold finished 11th? The Dynamic Discs Defender. So don’t sleep on Dynamic Discs in the Distance Driver category.

Top Control/Fairway Drivers

  1. Innova TeeBird3
  2. Innova Teebird
  3. Innova Thunderbird
  4. Discmania FD Jackal
  5. Innova Leopard
  6. Innova Leopard3
  7. Dynamic Discs Escape
  8. Innova Roadrunner
  9. Latitude 64 River
  10. Innova Sidewinder

While Innova has always had a strong hold on the Distance Driver top 10, it hasn’t always been that way for Fairway Drivers. But this quarter with the Innova Sidewinder making a jump up into the 10 slot and of course the TeeBird3 claiming #1, that might be changing. However, that could all change next quarter with numbers 11-15 all being non Innova molds. But here in the top 10, we mostly see familiar names in familiar places. It is worth noting that the Dynamic Discs Escape jumped up one spot. Similar to the Trespass in the Distance Drivers, this is one of the original Dynamic Discs molds that has been around for a while, so it is interesting to see it climbing up the charts. It is also interesting to see the Latitude 64 molds continue their drop in this category. The Latitude 64 River dropped 4 spots down to number 9, while the Latitude 64 Saint dropped out of the top 10 completely, finishing this quarter as only the 13th best selling fairway.

Top Midrange Discs

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc3
  3. Innova Roc
  4. Innova Mako3
  5. Discmania MD3
  6. Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
  7. Discraft Comet
  8. Discmania MD4
  9. Innova Stingray
  10. Dynamic Discs Justice

There was a pretty good shake up in the Midrange category. The Discraft Buzzz reclaimed the top Midrange spot from the Innova Roc3, while the Discraft Comet also made a good jump up the chart to number 7 after finishing 10th last quarter. The Discmania MD3 also made a significant jump from 8 to 5. There are two new names that have never been on this list before. The Discmania MD4 was just released a few weeks ago, and had it been released right at the start of the quarter it would likely have been higher than 8. It might climb up the charts this quarter as well with the newly released Simon Lizotte Glow C-Line MD4. The other new name is the Innova Stingray. This is a classic Innova mold that likely receive a bump in sales from the Des Reading Swirly Star fundraiser edition.

Top Putt and Approach Discs

  1. Discmania P2 Psycho
  2. Innova Aviar
  3. Dynamic Discs Judge
  4. Gateway Wizard
  5. Innova Nova
  6. Latitude 64 Pure
  7. Latitude 64 Dagger
  8. Westside Harp
  9. Dynamic Discs Warden
  10. Innova Aviar3

Over the last two quarters we really haven’t seen a lot of change in the top selling putters. The Discmania P2 Psycho has held on again to be the best selling putter. There are two pretty notable drops down the chart when compared to last quarter. The Innova Aviar3 was 3rd, but dropped all the way down to 10th. I’m not sure if the Aviar3 will be able maintain a spot in the top 10 as the new release hype continues to die down. The Westside Harp dropped to number 8. For the last two quarters it was 5th, and the quarter before that it was 3rd. So it will be interesting to see if this downward trend continues for one of the go to discs for the reigning world champion, Ricky Wysocki. Also, after falling out of the top 10 last quarter, the Dynamic Discs Warden worked its way back in, finishing 9th.

So what can we take away from this quarter’s top selling discs? Well, as was previously mentioned, we see the Innova tour fundraiser edition discs playing a pretty significant role. With that in mind, what is especially interesting to me are the discs that moved up the charts that are not fundraiser or new release molds. For example, the Innova Roadrunner and Sidewinder and the Dynamic Discs Trespass and Escape. It seems clear to me that these are molds that disc golfers have been throwing a lot throughout the 2017 disc golf season. Another interesting fact nugget that we see here is the only two disc companies that have a mold in the top 10 of all 4 categories are Innova and Dynamic Discs.

So what do you think? Any surprises or noteworthy finishes that I failed to mention? Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts!
