Leave a comment

Thats right, its Friday!! gotta get down on Friday. Another Focus Friday, this weekend we’re providing a discount code on the Infinite Discs Alpaca. Use the discount code FOCUSALPACA to save 20% on all Alpacas.

The Alpaca

This putt & approach disc is one of my favorite molds from the Infinite line. Its incredibly versatile, I bag so many of these in various plastics. It works excellently as a putter, it works wonderfully as an approach disc. I’ve been able to get this disc to fly a large variety of lines. I’ve seen it fly completely dead straight, and to fly quite stable, as well as to hold a turnover line. I love this mold.

Check it out on our website to read other people’s opinions regarding this mold, here. This is described as the quintessential beadless putter. It presents a deep rim in line with a traditional putter feel. Quite capable of carrying your workload with ease.

Focus Friday – Stratosphere

3 comments

Happy Friday everyone! We have another Focus Friday discount code available for you today. This code will save you 25% off all Wing It Disc Golf Stratospheres. Simply use the promo code: FOCUSSTRATOSPHERE. Maybe with this disc, you will then throw so far that it is goes out of this world! That would be cool to see.

Well, for those that do not know, the Stratosphere is the second layer from the earth’s crust. It is just after the troposphere, which contains the air that we breath. The cool thing about the stratosphere is that airplanes work to get into it for cruising. This has a lot less turbulence than the troposphere.

So, maybe, Wing It named their first mold “Stratosphere” because this disc somehow flies through the air that has the least amount of turbulence! Woah, that would be incredible if a disc could actually avoid turbulence. I’ve played on some windy days, and I’ve seen multiple air bounces and drops within just one throw. It can be annoying.

Wing It Discs Stratosphere

Well, unfortunately the name of a disc doesn’t have any affect on its flight characteristics. But it is fun to think on the “what if…”. The Stratosphere is a relatively friendly disc for anyone to use. It is easy to throw, which helps beginners to achieve good distance and increase their confidence. All the while, it isn’t so understable that it loses consistency or becomes difficult to throw without turning over. I find that this mold is in that sweet spot that allows most every disc golfer to throw it and rely on it. Providing a disc that most everyone can enjoy throwing.

For me, this flies nicely. Not quite the flight path as depicted on our site. When I throw it, it has a little bit more fade to it. This is is quite pleasing to me as it is a relatively straight fairway driver for me. I find it capable of doing all the lines that I want it to do, hyzers and anhyzers. There has even been some good success with rollers, I don’t much like rollers as I suck at them. Overall, this is a pretty solid first disc from a company who has entered the market and learned about the manufacturing process as they went along creating the mold/disc. If you haven’t you should check them out on their website. They’ve got some fun blogs to read through.

The Discount code

Here is the deal, head over to our website and select the Stratopsheres that you want and any other item that you want or need. Once everything is in your cart, you can apply the discount code FOCUSSTRATOSPHERE and get 25% off all Stratosphere discs in your cart.

Note: After placing your discs in the shopping cart and before checking out, click on the “Discount Code” box under the shopping cart and enter that code. Then proceed to checkout.

Newly Stocked Infinite Discs X-Outs

One comment

X-outs are pretty awesome. For those who do not know, an X-out, or Factory 2nd, is a disc that during the manufacturing process ran into some sort of imperfection. These imperfections can be large or small, the disc can have one or many. However, regardless of these imperfections, the disc will still fly just as good a “perfect” disc. What does this mean for you, you may wonder. It means that you can get X-out disc at a discounted price. Which helps you to save money, and still throw the disc that you want with just as good of a flight as the “perfect”.

We have recently added a lot of new Infinite Discs X-Outs to our disc selection. So, if you like X-Outs, check out our most recent restock of our Infinite Discs X-Outs:

Aztec in Splatter S-Blend and I-Blend

The Aztec is a speed 10 driver, flying straight with a little bit of fade at the end. Don’t let the speed 10 fool you, the Aztec will bring unexpected distance and accuracy to your game. This disc has a skinnier rim than the big distance drivers, making it more comfortable for most disc golfers. The Aztec is said to be a longer Exodus or Sphinx.

Tomb in I-Blend

The TOMB is a flat-topped, low-profile, putt-and-approach disc with a comfortably smooth, beaded rim. The Tomb has just the right amount of stability to cover ground while threading the needle on approach shots, whether thrown forehand or backhand. It can also be used as a crossover mid-range, driving putter, or to hold the line while putting for distance or in moderate winds.

Exodus in Splatter S-Blend

The Exodus by Infinite Discs is a stable, controllable fairway driver. The comfortable rim design and manageable speed are perfect for players at all experience levels. The Exodus is a trustworthy disc on the fairway and excellent for navigating wooded courses.  It has a precise, long flight pattern with a consistent fade, plus it can also handle all the power you can give it for long-distance flights. All Infinite Discs branded discs are manufactured by Innova Champion Discs.

Alpaca in Splatter S-Blend

The Alpaca is the quintessential beadless putter. While the Infinite Discs Cohort has a somewhat low profile rim, the Alpaca presents a deeper rim for more of a traditional putter feel. Whether thrown at the basket or lofted high for approaches and drives, the Alpaca will carry your workload with ease.

Pharaoh in Swirly S-Blend

The Pharaoh is the quintessential distance driver, built for a high speed release and maximum distance. The fade is not overpowering, making this a distance driver that will work wonders even for intermediate players. Throw the Pharaoh off the tee when you need to cover as much territory as possible. Rule your local disc golf course with the Pharaoh!

Centurion in D-Blend Glow

The Centurion is a workable fairway driver. It is a straight-flying, precision driver that will fit into the bags of both novice and professional players. All players can count on the Centurion to hold whichever line they put it on with only a slight end fade. It is a workhorse control driver for precise placement on the fairway.

Divergent Discs Glow Discs

Leave a comment

Divergent Discs is a very beginner friendly brand. They focus on making discs that are incredibly easy to throw and that will provide satisfactory distance. In addition to these molds that they make, Divergent also makes plastic selection easy. This matter helps the overall disc selection easy. As their molds only come in one plastic, rather than a multiplicity of plastics that all affect the flight of the disc in some way or another.

Divergent Discs has been around for a short amount of time, and are doing a lot to get their foot in the door of the disc golf market. Recently they’ve released a new version of their plastic. They’ve created a glow in the dark version of their plastic. Now, you’ll be able to use some of your favorite Divergent molds for your night rounds.

Molds Available for Single Purchase

At the moment, not every mold is available in the the Max Grip Glow or Stayput Glow plastic options. But a good large portion of their lineup is available. You can purchase the Narwhal, Leviathan, Kraken, and Lawin in the Max Grip Glow and the Golem in Stayput Glow right now. These molds are pretty solid molds.

The Narwhal is a really nice floaty putter. Makes it great for putting and throwing. It is an understable mold, designed to be thrown easily. Helping the disc golfer to achieve good distance, control, and easy putting.

The Leviathan is an understable midrange that is easy to throw. It offers high glide and minimal fade. Providing a solid disc that works excellently in the hands of a new player. Providing a solid flight that is quite manageable for the player, easily a go-to midrange.

The Kraken is an understable fairway driver that helps the beginner get used to high speed discs. This mold provides a good controllable flight path, and offers good distance. Helping the player achieve better distance, all because of its easy-to-throw tendencies.

The Lawin is a distance driver that offers a lot of glide a good amount of turn and a decent fade. Offering a stable flight that is manageable, and controllable. This high speed distance driver is a good introductory disc for the high speed distance drivers.

These molds are all available on Infinite’s site, and are more affordable than other glow plastic. As the Max Grip plastic is available for $13.99.

The Golem, comes in the Stayput glow. And this mold is a very overstable disc. It has little glide and a very hard fade. It makes for an excellent utility disc that can be trusted in many situations. Additionally, in the Stayput rubber blend, this absorbs impacts and limits ground play. This is available for $17.99 on our website.

Divergent Discs Glow Set

In addition to the single molds, there is a Max Grip Glow disc golf set as well. Within this box set of discs comes some other molds that are not available from single disc purchase at the moment. The disc golf set comes with a Kraken, Kapre, and Nuno; all in Max Grip Glow of course. While the Kapre and the Nuno are unavailable for purchase by themselves, you can still check them out on our site.

The Kapre is a nice stable midrange. it flies straight with a little amount of fade to finish its flight. Capable of a variety of flight paths because of its stability. This is a mold that can handle power and has the same easy-to-throw tendencies that Divergent Discs is known for.

The Nuno is a stable putter that has a straight flight with a minimal fade at the end. The Nuno is able to handle power and fly well for the beginner and the advanced player alike. This putter does well as an approach disc and as a putter.

Overall, the Divergent Discs Glow Set is a great introduction for night rounds. It provides 3 good discs to use that are in a glow plastic. This is available on our website for $24.99.

The Effectiveness of the Glow

The Max Grip Glow and the Stayput Glow are pretty solid glowing blends. They both charge pretty quickly and easily, especially with a UV light. The length of the glow is somewhat proportional to the amount spent charging the disc. If you spend a minute putting it under a UV light, longer than a minute. My definition of glow is bright enough that it is easily visible. The feel of the plastic with the glow variant is different than the original blend. To me it seems that the feel is just a slight difference, so it doesn’t seem that the glow addition ruins the benefits of the Max Grip or Stayput blends. They both still offer good grip and durability. The Stayput rubber blend still provides a flexible mold that will absorb impacts and or grip the ground; all to limit the ground play.

It seems that the Stayput Glow charges and glows better than the Max Grip. It seems that the opaqueness of the Stayput allows it to absorb the UV rays more easily. Which helps the plastic charge faster and resulting in a longer glow.

Overall the new plastic addition to the Divergent Discs lineup is a good add on. It provides a good material that will glow in the dark, and make playing those night roughs a possibility, and enjoyable. If you haven’t heard of Divergent Discs you should check them out, you can read more about them in this article. Or you can check out their site here. Especially if you find that your discs aren’t flying as far as you would like and want something that is easier to throw.

Divergent’s Narwhal – Focus Friday

One comment

Back in high school, I had a friend that would show me some pretty crazy songs. They were almost always silly and a little weird. One of these songs was about Narwhals, one of its lines lives inside my mind now. . . probably forever will: “Narwhals, narwhals swimming in the ocean causing a commotion cause they are so awesome.”  For me this song has become the them song of the Divergent Discs Narwhal. It makes me chuckle a little.

The Narwhal is an understable, easy-to-throw putter. It is a little reminiscent of a Innova Dart in feel. And it is quite easy to throw. This disc is pretty glidey. I’ve been impressed by how long this will float in the air. I’ve used this as a touch approach shot, or really long putts. It surprises me with how easy this thing is to throw. Divergent Discs has made some really good molds. And earlier this week, we have added some glow Narwhals onto our website. So you’ll be able to try out the Max Grip Glow plastic, and play some night rounds with the Narwhal!
