2017 Disc of the Week–Week 6–MVP Catalyst

One more week has passed us by. That’s one week closer to summer. One week closer to long nights on the course. And another Disc of the Week! Gyro-heads, where you at? This week the disc of the week is the highly popular MVP Catalyst!

The MVP Catalyst has been one of the best selling MVP discs since its release nearly a year ago. This disc is the real deal as far as distance drivers go. With a smooth, predictable, understable flight, The Catalyst can find a spot in the bag for disc golfers of all skill levels. If you are a disc golfer who hasn’t tried out a disc from MVP or Axiom yet, this week is a great chance to grab a Catalyst and take the gyro out for a spin.

This week only, take 15% off the Catalyst by using discount code: DWCATALYST17. As always, stay tuned to the Facebook page for your chance to win a Catalyst of your choice!

2017 Disc of the Week–Week 5–Discmania DDX

Welcome to February. Six more weeks of Winter got you down? Me too, but its one more week of Disc of the Week, and we have a fantastic one for this week! This week’s Disc of the Week is the one and only Discmania DDX!

The Discmania DDX was one of the most successful new releases of 2016. This high-speed driver has found a home in many disc golfers’ bags. This disc is said to be a combination between the Innova Destroyer and Innova Tern, which makes it perfect for golfers who find the Destroyer to be just slightly too overstable and the Tern too understable. The DDX is one of those discs that pretty much any disc golfer can find a shot that he or she could use it for.

If you haven’t had a chance to try this new driver out yet, this week is the week to do it! This week only, take 15% off the DDX by using discount code: DWDDX17. As always, stay tuned to the Facebook page for your chance to win a DDX of your choice!

2017 Disc of the Week–Week 4–Latitude 64 River

Another week of Winter, another 2017 Disc of the Week! This week’s disc is no stranger to cold temperatures, as it is manufactured in the furthest North (probably) disc golf factory in the world. We are happy to announce the Latitude 64 River as this week’s disc of the week.

The Latitude 64 River is a versatile fairway driver. It is one of those rare drivers that both brand new disc golfers and top pros can utilize in their game play. The River is a stable to understable driver with a uniquely wide diameter and a small rim that fits easily in every size of hand. Though this is a slower driver, it flies sneaky far with an insane glide rating of “7.” New disc golfers will love how easy it is to throw and get distance out of, while more experienced players will enjoy the easy controllable distance they can find in the River. So come, let’s go down, down to the River to play…disc golf.

If you haven’t tried the River before, this week is a great time to do it! This week only take advantage of 15% off all Latitude 64 Rivers in stock by using discount code: DWRIVER17. As always, check our Facebook page for a giveaway that we will post shortly for your chance to also win a River!

2017 Disc of the Week–Week 3–Innova Destroyer

Another week, another Disc of the Week! But this isn’t just any disc. Its the big one. The old reliable. The best selling disc in the history of Infinite Discs. The one, the only, Innova Destroyer.

The Innova Destroyer has integrated itself into the heart of disc golf culture. Very few disc golfers, if any, haven’t heard of this 12-speed driver. With the endorsement of 4 time world Champion Paul McBeth, the Destroyer has become in many respects, the disc of modern disc golf. While most of the world still think of Star Wars when they hear the term, “Star Destroyer,” those two words have taken on an entirely different meaning for disc golfers.

This week only, take 15% off the Innova Destroyer in every plastic type that we have by using the discount code: DWDESTROYER17. We are entering our latest Innova restock as we speak! So check right away to get the first pick, because we expect a lot of Destroyer orders this week! Also make sure to enter our Facebook giveaway that we will post later today!

2017 Disc of the Week–Week 2–Gateway Wizard

It is time to announce this week’s disc of the week! The second 2017 Disc of the Week is another classic in the disc golf world–The Gateway Wizard.

The Wizard is one of the most used and best selling disc golf putt and approach discs of all time. It features a beaded rim along with a deep dish that isn’t too deep, which provides a great feel in throwers hands and a stable and predictable flight path. If you are looking for a straight to overstable putter with great glide, this may be the disc for you. Gateway has a plethora of plastic types for the Wizard as well to accommodate disc golfers who prefer a grip that is, soft, stiff, tacky, slick, or anything in between! This last year we saw the introduction of a few new plastic blends including SB (“Special” Blend), PWP (Pure White Prototype), and their newest, $$$ Super Glow (Money Glow).

As part of our disc of the week promotion, we will not only be offering an exclusive discount code, but we will also place all plastic types of the Gateway Wizard on sale! So followers of this blog and our other social media platforms can receive 15% off already discounted prices. The discount code for this week is DWWIZARD17. Use this code, and share it with your friends so they can stock up on this highly popular disc! Also, be sure to checkout the Facebook page for a giveaway that will be announced later today!

 

Top Selling Discs–Q4 of 2016

 

Happy New Year everyone! The time has come for the final top selling disc review for the 2016 calendar year. The fourth quarter includes the beginning of the off season, but also the holidays. The discs we see that made jumps up the charts from last quarter were likely molds found on disc golfers’ Christmas lists. We also may see influences from some of the holiday promotions we ran. Whatever the reason, here are the top performers for the months of October-December!

Top 10 Overall

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Aviar
  3. Innova TeeBird
  4. Dynamic Discs Judge
  5. Westside Harp
  6. Gateway Wizard
  7. Discmania P2 Psycho
  8. Discraft Buzzz/Innova Wraith
  9. N/A
  10. Innova Roc

And the Innova Destroyer sweeps the number 1 spot for the entire year! (I don’t think anyone is too surprised there). But we do see a new number 2 with the Innova Aviar and Innova TeeBird swapping positions from last quarter. The Dynamic Discs Judge also mad a big jump back up to grab the number 4 spot after coming in at number 7 last quarter. The Discmania P2 Psycho is a new name for the overall top 10 with an impressive finish at number 7, beating out the long time number 2 disc, the Discraft Buzzz which came in at number 8. It is also worth noting that this quarter was dominated by the Putt and Approach category with 5 of the top 10 spots. Perhaps a lot of golfers were looking to stock up for their Winter Putting leagues and off season practice?

Top Distance Drivers

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Wraith
  3. Discmania DDX
  4. Innova Shryke
  5. Innova Valkyrie
  6. Innova Firebird
  7. Innova Boss
  8. Innova Tern
  9. Innova Beast
  10. MVP Catalyst

Again, we see a quarter where the distance driver category is dominated by Innova. The Discmania DDX dropped one spot to the Innova Wraith, and the newly released Innova Shryke came in right behind at the number 4 spot. For the rest of the chart we see a lot of the same names with a few different numbers, but the MVP Catalyst prevented a complete Innova sweep (Discmania being manufactured by Innova) by holding onto the number 10 spot it grabbed last quarter.

 

Top Control/Fairway Drivers

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

Some of the same names, but still quite a shake up at the top of the charts. The Discmania FD Jackal jumped four spots into the second place slot with the Innova Thunderbird right behind it at number 3, while the 3 discs they jumped, the Latitude 64 RiverInnova Leopard, and Latitude 64 Saint, remain right behind them. I will be very curious to see how these 5 molds shake out next quarter. Also a name we haven’t seen on this chart in a while, the MVP Volt, made an appearance by snagging the 10 spot.

I mentioned that we might see some influence from our holiday promotions, and this category is a prime example. In conjunction with MVP and Axiom, we did a special 3 color Blitzkrieg Stamp that we released for the Black Friday weekend. Could this be why the Volt made its way back into the top 10? Around the same time, we did a run of Bomber stamps on several Discmania molds in their new C-Line Luster plastic. This may be why we saw such a big jump up the charts from the Discmania FD and P2. However, that may not be an entirely accurate evaluation. The MVP Volt is a standing favorite disc for MVP throwers, and was likely on their holiday wish list. And this year we saw substantial growth across the board from Discmania. So maybe these increases were just part of the natural trend? Who knows really, but it is still worth noting this promotions.

Top Midrange Discs

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc
  3. Innova Roc3
  4. Innova Mako3
  5. Discmania MD3
  6. Discraft Buzzz OS
  7. Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
  8. Dynamic Discs Verdict
  9. Discraft Comet/Dynamic Discs Truth

 

Same 5 names at the top, but one slight change in order. The Roc beat out the Roc3 for the first time this year, swapping the number 2 and 3 spots. The Discraft Buzzz OS made a decent jump up into the 6 spot after coming in at number 10 last quarter. Also two new names that have been on the list before but didn’t make it last quarter–The Dynamic Discs Verdict which finished 8th, and the Dynamic Discs Truth which tied with the Discraft Comet for 9th place.

Top Putt and Approach Discs

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

Perhaps the most interesting “storyline” for me in this category is the Dynamic Discs Judge. While it only jumped two spots from last quarter, it had finished number one for a few quarters before that. So it is interesting to see it jumped back up to finish right behind the Innova Aviar, which was the top selling putter for the first time just last month. Perhaps some of the new World Champ hype that we saw last quarter is dying down? The Westside Harp only dropped one spot, but the Latitude 64 Dagger dropped from number 7 to 10. These are still higher spots than these discs ever were at before Ricky Wysocki won the World Championship, so it will be interesting to see how these molds do in 2017.

Any surprises, takeaways, or thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment, and check back in 3 months for the next update!

2017 Disc of the Week–Week 1–Discraft Buzzz

We are very excited here at Infinite Discs to start up one of our favorite promotions–the Disc of the Week! Around the beginning of every year, we run a program where we announce a new disc each week as the disc of the week (kind of self explanatory…). For each disc of the week, we will do a Facebook giveaway, a new blog post, and an exclusive discount code for that specific disc.

So, for week 1 of the 2017 Disc of the Week promotion, our disc is our top selling midrange of 2016, the Discraft Buzzz. The Buzzz has been one of the most consistent selling discs in our short history, so it just made sense to make this the first disc of the week in 2017. The Buzzz is a long standing staple in many disc golfers’ bags. In a growing midrange market, it seems like the Buzzz will always be a top contender.

This week only, get 15% off the Discraft Buzzz at Infinite Discs by using the discount code DWBUZZZ17. Also be sure to check out our Facebook giveaway for your chance to win any Discraft Buzzz in our inventory!

2016–Year in Review at Infinite Discs

Well another year filled with discs flying through the air and flying off our shelves has come and gone here at Infinite Discs. As we stop and take a look back, 2016 really was quite an eventful year for us. We have had several opportunities to go out and make new friends within the disc golf community, and of course we have been lucky enough to sell more product than ever before, and help disc golfers all over find the discs and equipment that they need. So first and foremost, thank you all for your support this year.

Thank you for making Infinite Discs what it is today, because we really wouldn’t be where we are today without this amazing disc golf community that we are lucky enough to be a part of. Here is a look back on some of the highlights of our year.

Infinite Courses and Infinite Discs App

At the beginning of the year, we expanded our site to include a feature called Infinite Courses. With Infinite Courses, disc golfers have access to a large database of disc golf courses and layouts within those courses. Players can then use their Infinite Discs profiles to keep score and track their playing stats such as putting percentages. Over time, players earn an “Infinite Rating” which is similar to a PDGA rating, but it takes into account all rounds entered. This is great for disc golfers who are looking for ways to try and keep a competitive edge while playing their casual rounds. If you can’t find your local course or current layout, you can create it! Also you can read and write course reviews that help other disc golfers decide which courses to play and what they should expect.

The best way to maximize the features available in Infinite Profiles and Infinite Courses is with the new Infinite Disc Golf Mobile App! The app makes it easy to keep track of your score and stats while you play and to find local courses as you travel. With the app you can review courses, update conditions, and store all of your rounds played to the cloud. When you submit your rounds, you can immediately see the rounds Infinite Rating. The app is now available on Android devices. Perhaps our biggest disappointment of 2016 is how long the development for the iOS version of the app has taken, but progress is being made and we look forward to making the app available to Apple devices in 2017.

Infinite Discs at Tournaments Across the Country

Early in the year we realized that it was time for us to invest in a company vehicle. This beauty, appropriately named the “Infinite Van,” was the result of that realization. After buying the van in March, we have taken her to disc golf courses and tournaments that we have sponsored all over the place. Primarily we have made trips in the Utah and Idaho area for tournaments including the Utah Open which will be part of the Disc Golf Pro Tour this year, as well as Utah’s only PDGA A-Tier, The Solitude Open.

This van also made two trips to lovely Emporia, Kansas. The first trip was for the Glass Blown Open, and the second was for the PDGA World Championships that we stopped in for on our way to Peoria, Illinois for the Ledgestone Insurance Open. We had the wonderful opportunity to be the Official Vendors of the Ledgestone Insurance Open in 2016. I was able to spend some time with Terry Miller during each day of the live stream coverage to promote Infinite Discs and announce the daily giveaways that we did for each day of the tournament. In all the traveling we have done this year, we have had the opportunity to play some great disc golf courses, but even better meet some extraordinary people. We love this disc golf community that we have, and we look forward to more travels and experiences in 2017.

Infinite Discs VIP Club

Another great project we launched in 2016 was the Infinite Discs VIP Club. This is an exclusive club aimed toward disc collectors. All members of the VIP Club receive a new package every month with a new limited edition disc that cannot be found anywhere else, not even on our own website! So far, the club has been a huge success, and right now we have an offer that will allow folks to sign up and pay for the entire year’s membership up front. More info on this offer and the club in general can be found here.

Team Infinite

This summer, we opened up applications for players looking to represent our brand as part of Team Infinite. The response was incredible, and slightly overwhelming. After sifting through all the wonderful applications that we received, we selected several new team members from across the country.

Already we have seen Team Infinite be a positive influence in the local disc golf communities across the country. From running charity or fundraiser tournaments to teaching new and young players about the sport, Team Infinite is working hard to grow the sport, and we couldn’t be happier with the team members we have. Are you interested in being a part of the team? While we are not actively accepting new members at this time, you can still fill out our application here.

New Infinite Discs Location in Pocatello, Idaho

Here at Infinite Discs, we are quickly growing out of the small office building in Logan, Utah that we have called home since we first opened for business in 2012. We are excited to be building a new warehouse just down the road in 2017.

This past summer we were able to open for business a little further down the road (about 90 miles) in my hometown of Pocatello, Idaho. Pocatello is a growing and thriving disc golf community with three permanent disc golf courses and more in the works! We opened up the new shop just across the street from the 9-hole course where I learned to play this sport that we all love, Ross Park. Currently, the Pocatello store’s inventory is separate from our online inventory, but in the coming weeks we will start to include parts of our Pocatello Inventory online to expand our online selection, particularly in the apparel department. So watch for more info to come on that soon! For now, go give our Idaho store a like on Facebook to be kept in the loop, and stop by when you are in the neighborhood!

New Infinite Discs Custom Stamp Designs

A couple years back we designed a simple Infinite Discs stamp that we released on a few disc molds, but we were never really in love with that design. So we worked hard to design some new awesome stamps that would look good and would make disc golfers want to show off their beautiful discs. First, we released the Infinite Bomber, which has received a very positive response, so we have tried to keep a healthy stock of Infinite Bomber Discs in stock.

About a month later, we released (my personal favorite) the Infinite Illuminati stamp. While the Illuminati sales have not quite matched the Infinite Bomber, we have still received some great feedback on this clean and unique design. Which one is your favorite?

Then there was the Blitzkrieg stamp, which was a limited edition 3-color stamp that we did with MVP/Axiom for the Black Friday Weekend. We still have a handful of the Blitzkrieg stamps left, and you can search for this stamp as well as the Bomber and Illuminati using our Advanced Disc Search on the site.

What Will 2017 Hold?

We do not know what exactly to expect in 2017, but we do have projects in the works. We know that the iOS app will be ready this year, and we know will be relocating to a new warehouse. We also may know a few things that I can’t quite reveal yet, but we hope you will stick with us to enjoy the ride. We hope to continue to do our part to help grow the sport in 2017, and make everyone’s disc golf experience just a little bit better.
