New Disc Releases

Leave a comment

NEW DISCS: June 19 – 15

Here is a breakdown of some of the latest molds that were released and restocked last week:

Infinite Discs Emperor

The Infinite Discs Emperor has been out of stock for a few months, so we were pleased when this mold arrived at the warehouse. These came in Metal Flake Glow C-Blend plastic and were stamped with a special edition stamp. This is a very popular plastic due to its durability and unique flight ability. There are still a few available, get yourself one HERE 

This is a moderately overstable, powerful distance driver that can enhance the accuracy of your distance game. 12 | 6 | -1 | 3

Discraft Raptor

We released a lot of Z Glo plastic Raptors this week, featuring several stamps. Raptors in love and Raptors in space are the most recent stamps that you can find on these molds. Get yourself a Raptors in love stamp HERE, and purchase a Space Raptor stamp HERE

The Raptor is a speed 9 disc with a flat top and overstable finish. It is designed to slice through the air in any weather conditions for a reliable flight. You’ll find that the Raptor feels extremely comfortable as a driver to use with both forehands and backhands.

Prodiscus Jokeri X

The Jokeri has an older brother now… the Jokerie X. If you have never heard of this small brand, check out our most recent blog post introducing the Prodiscus brand. The Jokeri is a highly rated putt and approach disc that people find works very well in difficult weather conditions. The Jokeri X is very similar to this, but features a bead along the rim. If you like beaded discs, this one is for you… purchase one HERE.

The JokeriX is a beaded version of the Jokeri. This is a highly versatile disc that offers excellent control and a comfortable grip. You will find that it is a reliable overstable disc that performs well in a variety of situations.

TSA Mantra Restock

The Thoughspace Athletics Mantra is back! They are restocked in all three plastics; Aura, Ethereal, and Ethos. Each has a new, unique stamp that you’ll want to add to your collection. Get a restocked Mantra HERE

The Mantra will fly straight at a manageable speed for new players, but will have a more understable flight for more experience throwers. It can be used for precision drives, anhyzer lines, and even power rollers. It’s an all-purpose driver with great glide that feels and flies wonderfully.

 

Infinite Discs Anubis Restock

Being one of the best mid-ranges on the market, the Anubis is perfect for beginners and experienced players alike. We have released Run 11 of this mold in I-Blend plastic. Capitalize on this restock HERE

The Anubis is a straight-flying, all-purpose, precision mid-range disc that will fit into the bags of both novice and professional players. Every player can count on the Anubis to hold a line, whether thrown for shorter approaches or for longer distances off the tee.

New Disc Golf Gear

Leave a comment

Over these past few weeks we have been adding some new disc golf gear that you will need for your disc golf adventures. There are a good variety of new products added to our product catalog. You can check out the newest ones below. We’re always working hard to ensure that we provide all of the disc golf needs that you have.

There are some retrievers, a night round accessory, grip enhancers, and some trading cards!

Infinite Discs Holster XL

Well if you liked the original holster that we made, you’ll love this one. As this holds more discs, and has room for a mini marker. Basically, making it all that much more useful. This fits comfortably on the leg, just like the original does, but it holds 4-5 discs instead of 3-4. It also can still double as a putter pocket for your cart. Overall, this is a pretty nifty way to carry a few discs, its pretty affordable, and convenient.

The Infinite Discs Holster XL is a fun and functional disc pouch that you can strap to your waist with an adjustable belt strap and a secure leg strap to comfortably carry 4-5 discs for quick, casual disc golf rounds. You’ll be sure to turn heads as you tuck your go-to discs into the holster and strut around the fairway. It is comfortable enough to wear while you throw.

The Infinite Discs Holster XL also features a hoop on the top to work in tandem with the belt strap and leg strap to attach the pouch to backpacks. Or it can be attached to disc golf cart handles or frames to use as a spare putter pouch. Basically, you’ll have a very affordable pouch for 4-5 extra discs. Plus the XL edition features a handy pocket for your mini marker.

Whether you strap it to your body, hang it from your backpack, or affix it to your cart, you’ll have a very handy way to carry around extra discs!

Check these out here.

Option Discs Option Bag

This grip bag is a pretty cool take on a grip enhancer. I like that it is small and easy to grab, easily covering my hand in its grip enhancing powder. I additionally like that I can play hacky sack with it. I think that in so doing it makes the grippiness factor increase, as it breaks apart the pellets inside the bag allowing for more of the powder to get onto my hand. Overall, this thing is pretty great and enjoyable to have.

The Option Bag is a grip enhancement tool that is filled with a blend of chalk and ceramsite with a subtle minty scent. It is also designed as a footbag, or a Hacky Sack.

This will help you to have better grip on your discs. Or, it can keep you entertained while you’re waiting for the card in front of you to finish.

Hive Talon

This Hive Talon retriever is pretty solid. It has two hooks on it, both of which make for grabbing the disc quite easy. Not as good as a single hook to poke it out of a tree though. It extends a good length, and it is reliable.

The Hive Disc Talon Retriever a versatile took for disc retrieval. With its twin-hook talon and a telescoping pole, this retriever makes getting hard to reach discs easy. Whether your disc is in the water, stuck in a tree, or trapped in a thorny thicket, the Hive Disc Talon Retriever is up to the task. With a Talon Retriever in-hand you’ll spend less time and effort saving your discs and more time playing!

Learn more about it here.

Pro Tour Trading Cards

I’ve been waiting for someone to do this for a while now. Trading cards are cool and fun to collect. It is also a fun little thing to purchase and be surprised by who you got within the packet.

These are 12-card packs of the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) 2022 trading cards for collectors and fans. There are 123 cards including many pros, all stars, champions, and more. Collect them all by purchasing random card packs and trading with your friends.

Check them out here.

MVP 100 LED Blacklight

I am impressed with how well this thing works. It is kind of bulky, but man, does it charge my glow discs well. Its large surface area works in its benefit to provide a lot of UV light to the disc. Proving to charge more of the disc in the same amount of time as other, smaller, UV lights. Overall, this is a pretty cool UV light.

This is a powerful UV flashlight from MVP. It has an extra large 100 LED lights, designed to charge your glow discs. It charges glow plastic in record time, allowing you to spend more time focusing on playing the night round. Powered by 6 AA batteries (which are included). This is encased in a sturdy a metal casing, to help it last.

Learn more here.

DiscreetTriever Driver Diver Disc Golf Retriever

This retriever is a surprisingly useful tool. It is quite useful, and super light! I’ve found that it works very nicely with all sorts of sticks. I am a little nervous about hitting it hard against something, as I know some 3D printed plastics aren’t the strongest. But this one does seem pretty strong. It grabs the rim of the disc pretty securely, I like it a lot. Also, I love the fact that this doesn’t take up that much room, it just clips onto one of my towel D-rings. It is pretty great.

The Driver Diver (Patent Pending) is a new disc golf retriever. This is a little different than other retrievers as it is merely the retriever head. You will use the reusable zip ties to attach it to any stick that you find around. Then when you are done, you can detach it from the stick and clip it back onto you bag. Eliminating the bulkiness of a large retriever stick.

The Driver Diver has many benefits. As it can attach to most any stick around. Additionally, it has a low profile and is extremely light. Making this an easily portable retriever that doesn’t take up much space. The low-cost and low profile make this a great retriever.

Discmania P2

The P2 is an excellent mold for me, capable of so many shots. I enjoy using this disc for putting as well as throwing. The thing that I like about this mold is driving with this disc. I’ve been able to use this for hyzer lines, and anhyzer lines alike. Also, this works well for straight shots, its awesome. Basically this is my go-to driving putter. I’ve enjoyed using this disc as a putter as well. The amount of glide is sufficient for this to float through the air.

The stability of this putter is pretty solid. It is stable enough that I can trust it on weaker headwinds, and expect it to fly like it normally does. On top of this, I really enjoy how the plastic feels. It is soft and tacky at the same time.

Focus Friday – TSA Muse

Leave a comment

Happy Friday all! It’s the weekend, hopefully you’ve got some good courses in line to play, or some tournaments to play. As the weekend is upon us, we are going to have another Focus Friday. This week, we are focusing on the Muse from Thought Space Athletics. Use the code FOCUSMUSE to save 25% off all Muse molds!

The Muse

The Muse is Thought Space Athletic’s first putter. This mold is a putt & approach that is advertised as an overstable disc. Though, I find that it is more of a neutral disc. For me it has been a really usable disc for many situations. Its been a solid driving putter, as well as a pretty decent putter. I do think it doesn’t have as much glide as I would like for putting, but sometimes that is exactly what is needed.

It has a held a so many different lines or me, its been excellent. I’ve been really able to trust this mold to do what I need it to do. The Anhyzer line, the hyzer line, and the straight flight. I think that I have enjoyed this mold more for throwing than for putting. The Nerve plastic is pretty grippy, it isn’t the most durable – just like any other base plastic though. Overall, this is an enjoyable mold, and the stamps are always pretty cool.

So you should check out the Muse, it’ll probably turn out to inspire you to continue playing disc golf and inspire you to continue to improve. Because some discs are just so fun to throw they make you want to get out to throw them. This could be one of those. And now is a great time to get more, or to try it out, or get more of them.

Infinite Discs Ruin

The Ruin is a pretty useful approach disc. It is an overstable mold that can handle power and can withstand the wind. Making it an excellent utility disc, or a reliable approach disc. Providing an overstable flight path with a hardy fade at the end. This has a unique rim to it, and an incredibly flat top. Fitting in the hand fairly well regardless of a forehand or backhand grip, providing good control over the disc.

I’ve used this mold for a large variety of approach shots. It’s been quite useful for the simple approach, a headwind putt, getting around an object, for drives, and for some flex shots. It has a lot of uses out on the course, it is a lot of fun to throw. Because of its dependable flight, it is quite useful.

Over the weekend, you may use this code to save you 15% on any Teebird that you want.

The Innova Teebird

If you have thrown the Teebird, you understand how awesome this disc is. For me, it is one of my favorite molds ever made. It handles a large amount of my drives, it is a go-to fairway driver of mine.

Throwing this mold is real easy and comfortable for me. I really like that when thrown flat, it flies dead straight with a healthy fade a the end. There isn’t much drift in its flight. I really appreciate its consistency, and reliability. I’ve enjoyed throwing this in open courses and tightly wooded courses; for me, it is an incredibly useful mold.

This is a really good disc for a large variety of players. From the recreational player to the touring pro. In fact, I have recommended this disc as a beginner fairway driver. It’s a slower speed, provides good flight, and will be useful well beyond their beginner time. Whether you’re a beginner or a touring pro, now is a great time to try this disc out as you can get it at a great discount!

Focus Friday X-Com Discs

Leave a comment

The weekend is here, and it is Memorial Day weekend as well, which is totally awesome! To me, this weekend has always been a signal that summer is here. And do I love the summer; the days are long, it’s easy to be outside (not have to wear so many layers), good memories, the days are bright, and disc golf is so much more enjoyable in the warm weather.

This Focus Friday we will will focus on an entire brand: X-Com. So from now till Monday, you can save 30% on all X-Com disc. You’ll need to simply use the discount code: FOCUSXCOM.

X-Com Discs

X-Com Discs is a manufacturer that has been in the disc making business for a while, since 2006. They started off making ultimate discs and other gear. However, in 2020, they began to make disc golf discs. These first molds are pretty solid as well, easy to throw, and well made. Check out their website to learn more about them, or this post from disc golf reviewer.

At the moment, there are 7 molds approved by the PDGA, and six of them are available for purchase on our site:

Zion Distance Driver

Helios Fairway Driver

Dawn Midrange

Eden Midrange

Griffon Midrange

Bennu Putt & Approach

There are two plastics that X-Com produces; Basic and Durable. The naming system is pretty easy to distinguish which is which. The Basic plastic is the base plastic that is low cost and gives a good idea as to what a disc does. While the Durable plastic is a premium plastic blend. This provides long lasting plastic, that is still quite affordable, that feels good in the hand. This is definitely my favorite of the two.
