It is time once again for our look back at the last week of sales. This weekly chart is generated from the sales figures at Infinite Discs – the purchases made by our customers are the only contributing factor to the statistics. We break the results down by disc model and plastic type so you can see which plastic types are selling the most. Here we go…

#18 – ESP BANGER GT
#19 – DX AVIAR
#20 – Star WRAITH

We’ve got another chart this week that is heavy on the blue lines, which equates to a lot of Discraft sales. The top-seller that last week was the LUNA putter, followed closely by the #2 FIERCE putter (Paige Pierce signature putter). Taking the #3 spot was the newest release from Kastaplast, the LOTS driver. That’s a strong debut from Kastaplast! The Plasma Envy was riding high on the chart again this week because of some really pretty Plasma discs that we got in stock last week. The Dyed S-Blend SPHINX took the #7 spot as those turned out to have some really nice custom dye jobs!

Another debut disc which just released yesterday was the Prodigy FX-2 and the first run in “500 plastic” jumped into the #14 spot after just one day of sales. Let’s take a look at how many times the different brands hit the chart this last week, with Discraft flexing once again:

–> Each week we’ll invite you to leave a prediction for a certain chart position on next week’s TOP TWENTY TUESDAY report. The person to predict that chart position correctly in the comments will win a $10 gift card for the Infinite Discs website.

WINNER – The #9 spot this week was taken by the Star DESTROYER which is a long-time chart dweller, though it tends to move around more than it used to. It used to own a permanent home in the top 3 every week. We had some guesses for Star Destroyer, but Owen dished it out first by 3 minutes. Congrats Owen!

Focus Friday – Infinite Discs Scepter

February 7, 2020 Todd Durrant One comment

For our Focus Friday this week, we are going to spotlight the SCEPTER by Infinite Discs. Originally PDGA approved on April 3rd of 2019, the Scepter is an overstable control driver with a flat top and a 1.9cm rim thickness. It was designed together with manufacturer Innova Champion Discs to provide a Firebird-like disc that always has a flat top. Flat-topped discs are very popular with power throwers or those who primarily drive forehand. The flat top gives forehand throwers a better grip with the thumb on top of the disc and more controlled release. The design has also proven very useful when throwing into headwinds or when throwing high, spike-hyzers that need to drop from above onto the target.

THE SCEPTER

The Scepter can be wielded with strength and confidence on the course. The limited edition first release had a cool, 2-color stamp and the stock stamp came out shortly afterward on C-Blend plastic with a total run of 800 discs. The 2nd run was a special edition in Metal Flake Glow C-Blend, which turned out even flatter on the top and looked great. So far, those were used for tournament support and in a limited edition with a Scorpio Zodiac stamp (originally released in the VIP Club Store).

The C-Blend SCEPTER was picked by professional FPO disc golfer, Nicole “Pickle” Dionisio to be her signature disc, since she is a strong forehand player and loved the feel of the disc. She is a great member of Team Infinite. Her signature edition features a beautifully intricate stamp design by Thought Space Athletics (another of her sponsors).

Here is a 60-second video review of the SCEPTER by Taylor AuBuchon which shows the disc’s overstable flight characteristics. You can also see the limited edition 2-foil stamp in his review.

Top Twenty Tuesday for February 4th, 2020

#1 – ESP HEAT
#2 – Discraft Prototype Putter Blend FIERCE
#3 – Discraft Special Blend LUNA
#4 – ESP BUZZZ
#5 – D-Line P2
#6 – Z-Line ZONE
#7 – Star DESTROYER
#8 – Star WRAITH
#9 – ESP AVENGER SS

#14 – Star ROADRUNNER
#15 – P-Line Soft P2
#16 – Titanium UNDERTAKER
#17 – ESP UNDERTAKER
#18 – DX AVIAR
#19 – Swirly S-Line FD
#20 – Pro Line X-Out SAIL

Discraft dominated the Top 20 chart this last week with our special edition ESP HEAT jumping to the top spot, followed closely by the Paige Pierce signature putter, which is now officially called the FIERCE at #2. The LUNA and BUZZZ took the #3 and #4 spots with the Z-Line ZONE at #6 and several other discs down the chart, like the Anax, Zeus and Undertaker.

Discmainia hit the chart three times with the D-Line P2 always in strong position, but with the P-Line Soft P2 entering the chart and the Swirly S-Line FD as well. Innova has some regulars on the chart like the Star DESTROYER, WRAITH, ROADRUNNER, and the R-Pro PIG still hanging strong at #12.

Another interesting entry is the #20 spot where an X-Out (Factory 2nd) edition of the SAIL entered the chart. We recently stocked up on some X-Out discs from DGA and the SAIL is always a solid seller as an understable distance driver for players that have slower arm speeds. It’s fun to see the DGA Sail hit the chart as it gets more players trying it out.

Interestingly, that is ONLY 4 brands that showed up in the Top 20 this week! That’s pretty rare! Here is a look at how many times the different brands hit the chart this week:

WINNER – The #8 spot this week was taken by the Star WRAITH which is a regular chart-dweller. Congratulations to RYAN who picked it correctly this week and wins the gift card.

Top Twenty Tuesday for January 28th, 2020

#1 – Paige Pierce Prototype Putter
#2 – Star DESTROYER
#3 – Star WRAITH
#4 – D-Line P2
#5 – Discraft Special Blend LUNA
#6 – KC Pro CLASSIC ROC
#7 – Z-Line ZONE
#8 – ESP ZEUS
#9 – Star MAKO3
#10 – ESP AVENGER SS

#15 – Signature Swirly S Line DD3
#16 – DX AVIAR
#17 – Base Grip P MODEL S
#18 – BT Medium SHIELD
#19 – R-Pro PIG
#20 – Champion MAKO3

For the 2nd week in a row, the Paige Pierce Prototype Putter took the #1 spot on the Top 20 Tuesday chart. The 2nd spot was taken by the Star DESTROYER, but the Star WRAITH has been steadily climbing to challenge the Destroyer as Innova’s best-selling driver.

Discmania hit the chart a couple of times with the D-Line P2 taking the 4th spot (always a strong seller) and the DD3 Signature edition climbing back onto the chart as well.

The KC Pro CLASSIC ROC has hit the chart, since Infinite Discs has a couple of custom stamps on the old-school disc which has a small diameter and more of a putter profile than the modern ROC does.

Here is a look at how many times different brands hit the Top 20 this week:

WINNER – The #6 spot this week was taken by the KC Pro Classic Roc which surged on the chart due to its availability with both the “Parachute Penguin” stamp and the Las Vegas Challenge stamp. There were some great guesses for that spot, but nobody picked the Classic Roc. Maybe next week!

FOCUS FRIDAY – The Mantra by Thought Space Athletics

January 24, 2020 Todd Durrant One comment

For our Focus Friday this week, we are going to spotlight the debut disc release by Thought Space Athletics. THE MANTRA was PDGA approved on October 17th, 2019 and has since been introduced into the disc market in three plastic types: Ethereal plastic (a limited edition run for the VIP Club), Ethos, and Aura. Let’s take a look at the Mantra!

MANTRA by Thought Space Athletics

The Mantra is a straight-to-understable driver which is designed to be easily managed for players of all skill levels. If you’re a newer player or don’t have a lot of arm speed, then you should still be able to handle the Mantra for great distance on the course. It could be compared to discs like the Innova Valkyrie, or the Discraft Heat. The plastic is durable yet somewhat tacky for a great feel.

MANTRA FLIGHT RATINGS

Speed: 9.0

Glide: 6.0

Turn: -2.0

Fade: 1.0

Here is a video look at the MANTRA by professional player, Drew Gibson. Keep in mind that Drew is known for his power and he admits that this particular disc is not really the best option for him, except as a roller. If you’re a power thrower, then the Mantra would turn more noticeably and become a roller utility disc.

For the next week, until the 1st of February, you can use this promo code to get yourself a MANTRA for 10% off:

FOCUS-MANTRA

CLICK HERE TO SHOP FOR THE MANTRA. Simply add the Mantra to your shopping cart, then BEFORE you click to checkout, look below the shopping cart. Right below the shopping cart is a box for Discount Codes. Click there and paste the code into the box. Then proceed to checkout and you’ll get the discount.

We hope that you love throwing the Mantra by Thought Space Athletics, and we look forward to their next disc release!.

TOP TWENTY TUESDAY – JANUARY 21ST 2020

Top Twenty Tuesday for January 21st, 2020

#1 – Paige Pierce Prototype Putter
#2 – ESP AVENGER SS
#3 – Z-Line ZONE
#4 – ESP BUZZZ
#5 – Titanium UNDERTAKER
#6 – Z-Line FORCE
#7 – Sublime FREETAIL
#8 – C-Blend RUIN

#16 – D-Plastic MJOLNER
#17 – R-Pro PIG
#18 – D-Plastic MIDGARD
#19 – C-Blend X-Out RUIN
#20 – Star THUNDERBIRD

Well, Paige Pierce ruled the chart at the #1 spot this week with her Prototype Putter release from Discraft. It’s an understable, low profile putter and we think a lot of people are going to love the feel and flight of this disc! Coming up right behind Paige on the chart were a slew of Paul McBeth signature editions with his new, limited edition 5X World Champion stamp. The AVENGER SS was added to his signature disc lineup and took the #2 spot while the Z-Line ZONE, ESP BUZZZ, Titanium UNDERTAKER, and Z-Line FORCE followed closed behind with those new signature editions.

There are also some smaller brands that made a splash on the charts this week. The new FREETAIL by Mint Discs took the #7 and #14 spots in two different plastics. The Infinite Discs RUIN jumped in at #8 and also showed up as an X-Out in the #19 position. The Atomic KEA by RPM Discs jumped onto the chart in the #13 position, and two discs by Norwegian brand, GURU DISCS, touched the chart with the MJOLNER at #16 and the MIDGARD at number #18.

It was a very interesting chart this week. Here is a look at the Discraft-dominated chart of how many times different brands appeared in the top 20 for the week:

WINNER – The #12 spot this week was taken by the DX X-Out AVIAR. While we do see X-Outs jump onto the chart from time to time, it is pretty rare. Those spikes are usually fueled when we get in a large supply of X-Outs for a popular mold. There were a lot of excellent guesses this week for discs that are on the chart, but nobody picked an X-Out to hit #12. Give it a try for next week!
