FOCUS FRIDAY – THE YIKUN LU (LUAN)

October 25, 2019 Todd Durrant Leave a comment

We’ve started taking the opportunity to focus on specific discs in specific plastic types on Fridays and call them “FOCUS FRIDAY” blogs. We may not make it on every week, but we’ll try to keep some fresh discs in the spotlight on a somewhat regular basis.

Our New Focus Friday Features the Yikun LU (or LUAN)

The LU by Yikun Discs (also called the “Luan”) was originally introduced in Phoenix Line plastic which is a durable, translucent plastic similar to popular blends like Innova Champion or Discraft Z Line. But more recently, Yikun experimented with a new version of the plastic which is now called PHOENIX STAR. This new plastic blend is gummy and flexible, like the discontinued Frost Line plastic by Latitude 64, or the sometimes seen Gummy Champion by Innova. It’s a great plastic blend for cold weather when discs tend to stiffen-up. It feels truly unique.

The disc itself came out VERY flat in the Phoenix Star plastic. It almost has the profile of a dinner plate! It is a wide rim driver at maximum “speed 14” and an overstable finish. This is a great utility disc when you want a hard fade at the end of flight, or if you love to crank sidearm (forehand) or overhand (tomahawk style). Power throwers will love cranking on the LU, and more intermediate players will find it to be a very useful overstable disc when a lot of side-to-side movement is needed on the course. The disc can also be used for a huge spike-hyzer.

Here is a little clip of an amateur throwing the overstable LU after showing how flexible it is. You can see how dramatically it fades once it loses speed.

Three Words: FLAT, FLEXIBLE, and FAST!

This week (until Saturday the 2nd of November) you can get your hands on the LU with a great discount of 20% OFF! Simply add the LU discs to your cart that you desire, then before clicking to “Checkout,” look below your shopping cart for the Discount Code box and enter this code:

FOCUS-LU

Then click “Checkout” to proceed to the payment screen with the 20% discount applied. The discount will apply to all the LU discs in your shopping cart.

TOP TWENTY TUESDAY – OCTOBER 22ND 2019

October 22, 2019 Todd Durrant 37 comments

Welcome to another Top 20 Tuesday sales chart. We break these charts down by plastics as well so you can see which plastic types are most popular for each disc. New discs will often spike in the chart as other top sellers shuffle position. The chart is created by sales figures that are pulled from all Infinite Discs sales for the previous week — our customers decide the results with their purchases.

Top Twenty Tuesday for October 22nd, 2019

#1 – Star DESTROYER
#2 – Discraft Special Blend LUNA
#3 – D-Line P2
#4 – Star WRAITH
#5 – S-Line PD FREAK
#6 – Splatter S-Blend X-Out PHARAOH
#7 – DX X-Out LEOPARD
#8 – K2 BERG
#9 – Swirly S-Blend PHARAOH
#10 – Star TEEBIRD
#11 – Star VALKYRIE
#12 – Tortoise Line METEOR HAMMER
#13 – Tortoise Line TOMAHAWK
#14 – ESP MALTA
#15 – Nexus FIREFLY
#16 – Electron Firm PILOT
#17 – Star X-Out DESTROYER
#18 – R-Pro PIG
#19 – DX AVIAR
#20 – Star SHRYKE

Most of the chart completely switched-out this week with only 7 of the discs from last week’s chart still holding onto a spot in the Top 20. That is very rare. The Innova X-Out sale from last week did shake things up a little, but we see other oddities in this chart as well. For example, the ZEUS disappeared completely from the chart, which we haven’t seen happen for months! The Star DESTROYER jumped back to its old, familiar 1st position, followed by the LUNA which is still selling well. I’m sure we’ll see the Zeus back on the chart soon enough.

The Splatter S-Blend X-Out PHARAOH jumped to #6 as buyers took the opportunity to test that new run early with the factory 2nd discs. The two newest Tortoise Line discs from YIKUN also jumped onto the chart with the METEOR HAMMER and TOMAHAWK still getting a lot of attention with each restock.

Innova ran away easily with the most spots on this week’s chart with that x-out sale and some of their other strong sellers like the Star Wraith, R-Pro Pig, Nexus Firefly, etc. Here is a look at how many times the different brands placed on the chart this week:

–> 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 number 20 spot is the hardest to guess of them all, since the lower the position on the chart, the more shuffling there is. Nobody guessed Star Shryke, though there were some close guesses for other discs near the bottom. Try again for next week!

Focus Friday – The Discraft Predator

October 18, 2019 Todd Durrant Leave a comment

We’re going to start taking the opportunity to focus on specific discs in specific plastic types on Fridays and call them “FOCUS FRIDAY” blogs. We may not get every week, but we’ll try to keep some fresh discs in the spotlight on a somewhat regular basis.

Our New Focus Friday Features the Discraft PREDATOR

A lot of attention gets thrown on the newest entries into the disc golf market, and there’s always a new overstable fairway driver that players want to try. But this week we’re taking a look at a disc that has been around for a while, the PREDATOR. This is a very predictable overstable fairway that has a dependable fade, but without being so ridiculously extreme that it becomes a “utility disc.” The Predator is manageable enough that even newer players or intermediate players can use it when they need a disc that can shape lines around obstacles or fight into headwinds. The Predator has just enough beef to get the job done.

Paul McBeth started off the 2019 competitive season with the Predator as his overstable fairway driver until later switching to the Anax which is part of his signature line. Interestingly, the Predator and the Anax have very similar flight characteristics, so it doesn’t seem that much was changed-up for Paul’s overstable fairway needs.

Infinite Discs has a nice stock of Predators, including a custom run of ESP FLX PREDATOR discs for those who like a slightly more gummy feel with their premium plastic discs.

This week (until Saturday the 26th of October) you can get your hands on the PREDATOR with a great discount of 20% OFF! Simply add the Predators to your cart that you desire, then before clicking to “Checkout,” look below your shopping cart for the Discount Code box and enter this code:

FOCUS-PREDATOR

Then click “Checkout” to proceed to the payment screen with the 20% discount applied. The discount will apply to all the Predators in your shopping cart.

#7 – ESP ZEUS

James Conrad took the #1 spot this last week with his USDGC championship commemorative AVIAR which sold out right away. Then the #2 spot went to the trusty D-Line P2 with the P-Line Stiff P2 grabbing the #6 spot as well. The Star DESTROYER took the #3 spot as it always hangs out near the top, with the ESP BUZZZ taking the #4.

The Plasma WAVE entered the chart to the #10 spot, just on the strength of a restock. The Special Blend Swirly RIFT by DGA hit the #11 spot as it was a Focus Friday featured disc and grabbed some positive attention. Other discs on the chart are regulars while the C-Blend SCEPTER touched the chart in the #19 spot with a new stock stamp. If you want to try a Scepter, here is a secret discount code for reading this far– hiddencode. Put that in the discount code box for an extra 20% off any Scepter in your shopping cart.

Here is a look at how many times different brands were on this week’s chart:

WINNER – The number 7 spot was taken by the ESP ZEUS by Discraft. That’s one of the lower placements it has had on the chart for a while. A couple of guys guessed it right, but the first to guess the ESP Zeus for #7 was Daniel. Congrats on the win!

Focus Friday – The DGA Rift

October 11, 2019 Todd Durrant Leave a comment

Our Second Focus Friday Will Feature the DGA RIFT

Infinite Discs was lucky to have the opportunity to release a special edition of the new DGA Mid-Range, The Rift, in a beautiful plastic blend with a great variety. There were two stamps on this limited run of only 500 discs– one special edition stamp and the other a 2019 World Championships stamp by Thought Space Athletics. But aside from how cool these discs turned out, they are also great flyers.

The RIFT is a stable, primarily straight flyer with only moderate fade. It’s the perfect compliment to two other awesome DGA mid-range discs, the Tremor (great understable mid) and the Quake (overstable). All of those mids, including the Rift, have a mostly flat top and a very comfortable rim feel. The Rift can become a workhorse mid-range for any player and can also get the job done for new disc golfers who need a disc that will follow their angle of release.

This week (until Saturday the 19th of October) you can get your hands on the RIFT with a great discount of 20% OFF! Simply add the Rifts to your cart that you desire, then before clicking to “Checkout,” look below your shopping cart for the Discount Code box and enter this code:

FOCUS-RIFT

Then click “Checkout” to proceed to the payment screen with the 20% discount applied. The discount will apply to the Special Blend plastic as well as the Pro Line plastic edition.

#4 – DX ROC
#5 – ESP ZEUS
#6 – Champion Colored Glow FIREBIRD

The charge understandably has the Star Destroyer, D-Line P2, and ESP Buzzz in the top three positions since we put those three discs on sale for this week. You can still get those at a discount price through Saturday the 12th of October. A lot of other regular sellers are on the chart this week with discs like the Aviar, Roc, and Wraith grabbing spots, and the usual Discraft Paul McBeth entries like the Zeus, Malta, Luna, and Anax. The Dynamic Discs VANDAL charted well in the #10 spot with the Latitude 64 KEYSTONE hitting at #15– both of those were Trilogy Challenge discs this year.

Also scraping the chart was the LED Putter by Nite Ize. As darkness comes earlier now, the Nite Ize discs have been selling well and have also been discounted. Just to reward you for reading this far, if you want to try the Nite Ize discs HERE and get an even crazier discount, then just use the discount code hiddencode before you checkout and you’ll get a crazy discount on those LED discs. We just want to see if you kept reading to this point.

WINNER – The number 10 spot was taken by the Lucid VANDAL by Dynamic Discs. It looks like nobody picked the Vandal for that spot on the guesses. Sorry, no gift card this week, but be sure to post your guess for next week for another chance at a win!

Top-Selling Discs On Sale for This Week

October 7, 2019 Todd Durrant Leave a comment

We thought it would be fun to put some of the long-term, top-selling discs on sale for this week, in case you need to restock after a busy disc golf summer season. The prices are automatically discounted on these disc models (no discount code is necessary).

DESTOYER – Distance Driver – ON SALE!
EXODUS – Fairway Driver – ON SALE!
BUZZZ – Midrange Disc – ON SALE!
P2 – Putter – ON SALE!

The DESTROYER had some competition this year as the top-selling distance driver as it pushed to keep up with sales of the new Discraft ZEUS and other new releases like the Discmania DD3 and the Dynamic Discs RAIDER.

There are some fun Destroyers in stock, aside from just stock stamps. There are a lot of custom stamp designs, plus some cool black Star Destroyers and Star Dyed Destroyers.

There are also a few signature series Destroyers in special plastics, Shimmer Star and Swirly Star, plus the new Halloween Destroyers.

You should be able to find plenty of different plastic types and plenty of different weights. Remember, when you click to SELECT YOUR DISC then you can sort by weight, from high to low, or low to high. You can also narrow your search to a specific plastic type by using the drop-down at the top left to pick the plastic you want to see.

There are also a few of the Paul McBeth 4x stamped editions in stock and a nice supply of the newer run of Ricky Wysocki stock editions.

We also though it would be fun to offer a fairway driver companion to go along with your distance drivers, so we’ve also discounted the Infinite Discs EXODUS. This was the first disc released in the Infinite Discs line which is manufactured by Innova Champion Discs. It is a great “power fairway” that can be thrown for shorter, precision shots as well as longer drives off the tee. It is very similar to the classic “Eagle L” by Innova and has become a favorite of many players from intermediate to pro.

It’s available in S-Blend (comparable to Star), C-Blend (comparable to Champion), and I-Blend (a long-lasting, inexpensive, Infinite Blend of Pro plastic).

The BUZZZ has always been among the top-selling mid-range discs on the market, if not the very top. It found new life with a Paul McBeth signature edition this year and has reached all-new heights of popularity. We currently have a great supply of the most popular edition in ESP Plastic, along with a lot of other choices, ranging from Jawbreaker to Full Foil. Again, simply click to SELECT YOUR DISC and you can pick your favorites.

To top it all off, we figured you’d need a discounted putter as well, so why not go with one of the top-selling putters on the market, the P2 by Discmania. We currently have a supply in many different plastics, from the softer, base plastic D-Line to premium blends like C-Line Glow. Check out the selection and remember, these prices are only good through Saturday, October 12th.

Focus Friday – The C-Blend Tomb

October 4, 2019 Todd Durrant 2 comments

Our first Focus Friday feature will be on the C-Blend TOMB.

The TOMB has risen in the ranks of Infinite Disc brand best-sellers as it has garnered attention as a superb approach disc. We’ve found that more players, particularly among the Team Infinite roster, use the Tomb to drive or approach the basket in lieu of a traditional mid-range disc. That has appeared to be a trend in disc golf where smaller diameter, putter-sized discs are used instead of the larger diameter mid-range discs (think of the Discraft Zone, Westside Harp, Hyzerbomb Mortar, Innova Pig, etc.). The Tomb has joined those ranks for straight, precision approach shots. It flies surprisingly straight with minimal fade and with it’s low profile and flat top, it feels comfortable for longer throws.

The C-Blend (comparable to Innova Champion plastic) is a more durable plastic that fits perfectly into that role, able to take some abuse and keep its flight characteristics for the long-term. While we have seen it used for putting, the plastic’s texture lends itself even better to mid-range use.

Here is an old review video for the TOMB in general, so you can see it in action:

Give the C-Blend Tomb a try as a straight-flying mid-range option, especially when you need to thread the needle on tight fairways. We think you’ll love it!
