Gummy C-Blend Aztec!

February 12, 2026 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

If you are like me and like your drivers with a lot of grip, the Gummy C-Blend Aztec is a disc you should consider. It feels amazing in the hand and has a nice flight that can be appreciated by people of all skill levels. (Check out Bodanza’s video below)

The plastic: Gummy C-Blend is a softer, grippier version of C-Blend. It is translucent like C-Blend (similar to Champion or Z Line), with a grip that is much softer. That softness makes the fade a little less pronounced.

The mold: The Aztec is a speed 10 driver that has a fairly straight flight. The smaller rim size makes this distance driver easy to grip and easy to control. In C-Blend, the Aztec has a little more fade at the end.

A Valentine’s Disc Golf Gift Guide

February 11, 2026 Ted Hegemann One comment

Why Disc Golfers Are Easy (and Hard) to Shop For

Shopping for a disc golfer for Valentine’s Day should be simple. After all, they talk a lot about their favorite hobby. You hear about discs, courses, good and bad shots, and that one tree that definitely moved.

And yet, somehow it is also incredibly easy to get gifts wrong.

Disc golfers are an interesting study. They are minimalists who also own 47 discs, picky about everything but somehow still willing to throw “just one more disc” into the bag. So if you’re staring down Valentine’s Day wondering what to buy the disc golfer in your life, don’t worry, we’re breaking it all down.

Why Disc Golfers Are Easy to Shop For

Let’s start with the good news.

They Always Want More Plastic

Disc golfers may say they have all the discs they need. They may even believe it. This is a lie they all tell themselves.

In reality, there is always:

A mold they want to try
A backup they “probably need”
A different plastic that “flies totally different”
A color they swear is easier to find

Buying a disc is never wrong in theory. It’s the execution where things can go sideways.

They Frequently Lose Small Stuff

Towels. Minis. Chalk bags. Another towel.

Disc golfers treat accessories like temporary companions. If you buy one of these, it will get used, and if it disappears, congratulations, you get to give them a gift again.

They Love Disc Golf Gear More Than You Think

Non-disc golfers often underestimate how exciting a simple piece of gear can be. A new mini marker? Delightful. A fresh towel with a cool design? Immediate bag upgrade. Apparel with their favorite brand’s logo? Perfection. Something small, useful, and disc golf specific shows you really do listen to them.

That counts for a lot.

Why Disc Golfers Are Hard to Shop For

Okay, here’s where things get tricky.

Weight Matters (A Lot)

To the untrained eye, a disc is a disc. To a disc golfer, the difference between 167g and 175g can make or break a disc.

Too light? “Flippy.”
Too heavy? “Too overstable.”
Just right? “Perfect, but only in that one run from 2019.”

If you don’t know what weight they throw, guessing can feel like defusing a bomb.

Plastic Preferences Are Basically Personal Beliefs

Some players swear by premium plastic. Others want baseline only. Some like stiff. Some like gummy. Some say they don’t care, but absolutely do.

This is why well-meaning gifts sometimes end up living permanently on the shelf.

Disc Golfers Are Creatures of Habit

That beat-in putter they’ve used for five years? Sacred. That driver they know exactly how to throw on hole 7? Untouchable.

Buying a disc too similar to their favorite can actually be riskier than buying something totally different. Disc golfers don’t always want a replacement, they want the exact same thing, which is nearly impossible to guarantee.

So, What’s the Safest Valentine’s Day Disc Golf Gift?

If you want to avoid accidentally buying “the wrong version of the right disc,” here are some Valentine’s Day–approved ideas that thread the needle.

Mystery Discs: Fun Without the Pressure

Mystery discs are great because:

There’s no expectation that it will replace a favorite
The surprise factor feels very Valentine’s-y
Disc golfers secretly love trying something new

Worst case? It becomes a field-work disc or a loaner. Best case? You accidentally introduce their new favorite mold. That’s a Valentine’s gift win.

Accessories That Always Get Used

You can’t go wrong with:

These are practical, low-risk, and won’t mess with the discs in anyone’s carefully curated bag.

Backups (If You Know the Mold)

If you do know the exact putter or disc they love, a backup is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give a disc golfer.

It says:
“I pay attention.”
“I support your obsession.”
“I know you’ll be devastated if you lose this.”

Talk about romantic!

Budget-Friendly vs. Go-Big Valentine’s Gifts

On a budget?

A mini + towel combo
A single mystery disc
An apparel item with a good logo

Going bigger?

Multiple mystery discs
A premium plastic disc paired with accessories
A small disc golf care package

You don’t need to spend a fortune, disc golfers genuinely appreciate thoughtful, useful gear.

The Real Secret to Shopping for a Disc Golfer

Here’s a pro tip: most disc golfers don’t expect perfection. They just love when someone supports the thing they care about most, which is being outside, throwing plastic, and doing that with people they like.

Even if the disc isn’t exactly right, the thought behind it matters. And hey, worst case scenario? They get another reason to say, “Well, I guess I get to buy another disc.”

What If I Don’t Have a Valentine to Buy Me a Gift

Don’t have someone to exchange Valentine’s with? No problem! Check out our annual Valentine’s stamp, It’s Okay to be Alone. They are available now on most of Infinite’s molds. Perfect for a solo round or playing with buddies on Valentine’s Day!

See what molds are available by clicking HERE to see our Advanced Search option, then click ‘Stamp’, then scroll down to ‘Valentine’s Day’.

Final Thoughts

Disc golfers are easy to shop for because they love the game.
They’re hard to shop for because they really love the game.

But with the right mix of fun, practicality, and a little surprise, you can’t go wrong. Whether it’s a mystery disc, a fresh accessory, or a just-right backup disc, Valentine’s Day is a perfect excuse to lean into their obsession.

Best Discs Golf Discs 2026

February 5, 2026 Ted Hegemann 11 comments

Throughout this series, we’ve been breaking down the top disc golf discs for 2026. We started with putters, moved into midranges, and then stepped up to the faster discs with fairway and distance drivers. Now, it’s time for the big finale: bringing all the winners together to see which mold truly stands above the rest.

Best Discs For 2024

Axiom Pixel	Putt & Approach
Innova Wraith	Distance Driver
Infinite Discs Emperor	Distance Driver
Infinite Discs Alpaca	Putt & Approach
Innova Destroyer	Distance Driver
Discraft Buzzz	Mid Range
Infinite Discs Pharaoh	Distance Driver
Infinite Discs Sphinx	Control Driver
Discraft Zone	Putt & Approach
Axiom Envy	Putt & Approach

The Axiom Pixel was the hot seller for 2024. The Pixel was released in 2023 and the first full year of sales was 2024. It is a straight-flying putter that is shapable off the tee and solid option as a putter. The Pixel is the second disc in the Simon Line, giving the putter a lot of exposure. A putt/approach disc took the top spot for the second time, following the MVP Glitch in 2023.

Let’s check out the top sellers for 2025:

The top two molds have been around, and popular, for decades. The Innova Wraith and the Discraft Buzzz have been best sellers since the early 2000’s. In third place is the slightly newer Infinite Discs Emperor. The Emperor is known for being a bomber of a driver, with many open-bag Infinite pros choosing it as their high-speed driver of choice.

The MVP Trail and the legendary driver, the Innova Destroyer were fourth and fifth in popularity. Completing the top ten are the Discraft Zone, Axiom Pixel, Innova Mamba, Gateway Wizard, and the Discraft Luna.

The Pixel went from first place in 2024 to 7th for 2025. 2023’s winner, the MVP Glitch, finished 44th place

Check out the complete list of the best selling discs at Infinite Discs:

Best Selling Disc Golf Discs

Brands in the Top 50

Innova was the easy winner of the number of molds in the top 50. They have 14 molds, and are six ahead of both Discraft and Infinite. Innova was started in 1983 by Dave Dunipace. Dave received a patent for the first bevel-edge disc, the forerunner to today’s modern discs. Innova has released dozens of molds over the years, giving players lot of options to choose from.

There were 13 brands that had at least one mold in the top 50. Six companies only had one mold.

Most Popular Disc Types

Last year there were more distance drivers in the top 50 than any other type of disc. This year putt and approach discs take the lead. In the top 10, distance drivers are king. However, expand to the top 50 and putt/approach surpasses any other type.

Best Disc Golf Distance Drivers 2026

January 28, 2026 Ted Hegemann 11 comments

Check out the top distance drivers, and you could win a gift card!

Every year we like to look at the best sellers and the highest rated disc golf molds to see what it hot. We present this information in a series of blogs. This week we’re doing it again. We’ve covered the top putters, midrange discs, and fairway drivers. Now we’ll discuss the best distance drivers for 2026.

Best Distance Drivers

Distance drivers are a fun type of disc to throw. Typically, when we reach for our distance drivers we are trying to throw it as far as possible. Since they are in the air longer than other types of discs, we get to see them turn and fade in an aerial ballet.

Although a certain skill is required to throw high-speed discs properly, newer players can ‘cheat’ the system by picking up lighter discs that let them throw faster. That lets them throw higher speed discs than they normally would be able to throw.

Distance drivers are usually in the speed 10 and above range. They range in stability from flippy to beefy. If disc golfers can get a long throw with their drivers, it will set them up for an easier approach or even a putt.

Best Distance Drivers 2024

Before we look at the best distance drivers for last year, lets check out the best discs from the year before. Then we can see what has changed.

Innova’s Wraith and the Destroyer have been popular discs for decades. They have similar flights at different speeds. The Infinite Discs Emperor matches their flights and has been popular since it was released over half a decade ago. The Infinite Discs Pharaoh and Innova Mamba round out the top five best distance drivers for 2024. Now lets look at 2025.

The MVP Trail made a jump from 8th to 3rd place. I suspect it will have a place in the top ten for years. With a slight turn and a gentle fade the speed ten mold can be thrown well by people of all skill levels. Another MVP disc, the Wave, also moved up a bit. It went from 13th to 7th. The Wave has more turn (-2) than most of the molds in the top 10. Only the Innova Mamba (-5) and the Maya (-3) have more turn.

Besides the aforementioned Trail and Wave, the rest of the top 10 remain the same molds, only in different order. It’s a pretty tall order to break in to the top 10. In order to do that a mold would have to unseat some very popular discs.

How popular are the top molds? The sales of the top five discs on the list represent nearly 1 in every three distance drivers sold!

The Destroyer slipped off the podium for the first time in a while. I don’t think it will continue to slip. It has such a desirable flight and is available in a nearly every plastic type. Who knows, maybe if there are enough new molds that hit the disc golf scene, they can brute force the Destroyer off the charts. But, I doubt it.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50

It isn’t a surprise to see Innova and Discraft with the most molds in the top 50. They are two of the oldest companies in disc golf and have more distance drivers than some brands have total molds.

Innova and Discraft may be the biggest in the business, but there are always a few smaller brands that manage to land in the top 50. This year Thought Space Athletics, Clash, and Doomsday Discs had at least one mold on the list. As more new brands roll out their offerings there might be more competition for those spots on the top 50. However, it is tough to unseat the big companies in the sport.

Highest Rated Disc Golf Distance Drivers

Shopping on the Infinite Discs website comes with a major advantage: you can browse authentic player reviews and check disc ratings before making a purchase. As more disc golfers share their experiences, those ratings become a valuable snapshot of how the community feels about each mold. The review system also connects with the Infinite Rewards program, where you can earn points for submitting reviews or making purchases. If you haven’t checked out Infinite Rewards yet, it’s definitely worth exploring (click HERE). Your feedback not only earns rewards but also helps expand our growing collection of disc reviews.

We are going to look at some of the highest rated distance drivers and see which molds are on top. For our ratings system, we weight molds that have more reviews heavier than those with fewer reviews. We’re going to tweak our weighing system soon. With that in minds, let’s start with the highest rated distance drivers.

Highest Rated Distance Drivers

The Destroyer is a perennial best seller, and it seems logical that it would be among the highest rated. And you can’t discuss the Destroyer without mentioning its little brother, the Wraith, which took second place. Taking third is the Infinite Discs Pharaoh finished as the third highest-rated distance driver overall.

Check out all the Highest Rated Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Very Overstable Distance Drivers

For this category, you won’t find many molds in the top 50. These are utility discs that have a definite place in many people’s bags, but aren’t going to be sought after by the masses. They are high-speed AND beefy. They are not beginner discs, but it is still interesting to see who is on top in the category.

Taking first place is the speed 11 Infinite Discs Slab. The Slab has a flat top and is perfect for people with big arms. Experience players can utilize the overstability with forehands, headwind shots, or spike hyzers. As a utility disc, it can be used for carving tight corners to avoid obstacles. Check it out and see why people love the Slab.

Taking second place is the Discraft Force. Loved by pros and ams alike, the Force is a speed 12 beefcake that is available in premium and base plastics. Taking third place is one of the beefiest molds in the Dynamic Discs lineup, the Enforcer.

Check out all the Highest Rated Very Overstable Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Overstable Distance Drivers

The Innova Destroyer is a perennial best seller and is also the highest rated distance driver. And how can we mention the Destroyer without mentioning its little brother, the Wraith. Since the Wraith has a similar flight to the Destroyer, but a tad slower, it is easy to see why people like it. Taking third is the Infinite Discs Emperor. It is one of the best selling drivers in the Infinite line.

Check out all the Highest Rated Overstable Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Stable Distance Drivers

I glad to see the Infinite Discs Pharaoh taking first place, since some of my longest throws have been with a lighter Pharaoh. It has a good amount of turn to give it a nice S-curve, and a reliable fade. It is a bomber mold!

The second highest rated disc is the Beast. It has a similar flight to the Pharaoh and is a little slower speed. It has been part of Innova since 2002. Taking third place is the glidey Shryke. It is a speed 13 disc that can deliver some long drives.

Check out all the Highest Rated Stable Distance Drivers here.

Highest Rated Understable Distance Drivers

This category favors intermediate-level players. Since distance drivers have higher speed levels than other categories, many molds are beyond the ability of less experienced players. Discs that are understable help them get a straight flight. These are the highest rated of the understable drivers.

The Innova Tern has been a popular mold for a long time. As mentioned, newer players can appreciate the flippy flight numbers, while more experienced players can use the Tern for huge flex shots. Plus, it has a lot of glide to aid in long shots.

The second highest rated Infinite Discs Maya hasn’t been around as long as the Tern, but it has a huge fan base. The speed 12 mold is a tad more understable than the Tern, but not nearly as flippy as the third place Innova Mamba.

Many people reach for the Mamba as an easy roller disc. It is so understable that even newer players can find a little turn in their throw.

Best Fairway Drivers 2026

January 21, 2026 Ted Hegemann 26 comments

Check out the top fairway drivers, and you could win a gift card!

Every year we like to look at the best sellers and the highest rated disc golf molds to see what it hot. We present this information in a series of blogs. This week we’re doing it again. We’ve covered the top putters and midrange discs. Now we’ll discuss the best fairway drivers for 2026.

Best Fairway Drivers

Fairway drivers fit the gap between midrange discs and distance drivers. With a more narrow rim than distance drivers, many people with small hand prefer them. They are often referred to as ‘control drivers’ because they are easier to control the shape than distance drivers.

Control drivers typically range from speed 6 to speed 9. Like all discs, they come in a variety of stabilities. They can be used to fight through thick woods or thrown on an open fairway. Approach shots are also in the control driver wheelhouse. They will skip farther than mids or putters, so that needs to be taken into consideration.

Best Fairway Drivers 2024

Let’s check out the top fairway drivers for 2024 so we can see what changes took place.

Infinite Discs had a solid grasp on all three podium spots for the 2024 sales year. The Dynasty is a slightly overstable speed nine control driver. It can be used as a valuable tool by players of all skill levels. Beginners can use it as a headwind or downhill disc. Advanced players will love it as a shapable disc that is easy to throw. The Sphinx and Centurion are both discs that I bag, and frequently use. The Sphinx is understable and the the Centurion is stable.

The Infinite trio was followed by the Firebird, Crave, and Leopard on the list. Let’s see how the top discs discs did last year.

Best Fairway Drivers

My beloved Sphinx moved up a slot to take the number one spot! I recommend everyone give the Sphinx a try. If you are a more advanced player, look for more overstable plastics, like glow metal flake C-Blend or Halo S-Blend. Or a more flippy plastic if you’re looking for a roller or big turnover shot.

The Crave moved up several spots to take second place. It is a straight-flying mold that works great with a backhand or forehand throw. For MVP fans, the Crave is compared to a seasoned Servo.

Completing the podium by moving up several spots is the Innova Teebird. Most of us would consider the Teebird an ‘old-school’ disc. It was approved in 1999, and has been popular since it was released. It is a speed 7 disc that has a bit of overstability to give it a reliable fade.

The next three discs on the list either weren’t on the list last year, or were further down the list. The Doomsday Discs Chemtrail was released in 2024. so it didn’t have enough sales to make the list. Then, it caught on and sales jumped.

The Latitude 64 River and Discraft Cicada were on last year’s list, but not as high up the list as this year.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50

Although Innova only has one mold in the top 10, the have the most molds in the top 50. The Teebird is the lone top 10. It is followed by the Firebird, Valkyrie, Leopard, Roadrunner, Leopard3, Sidewinder, Thunderbird, Eagle, It, and the Teebird3 in 50th place.

Innova, Discraft, and Infinite account for 50% of the discs in the top 50.

Highest Rated Disc Golf Fairway Drivers

One of the biggest perks of shopping on the Infinite Discs website is the ability to browse real player reviews and see how each disc is rated before you buy. As more players share their experiences, those ratings become an incredibly useful snapshot of how the disc golf community feels about specific molds. The rating system also ties into the Infinite Rewards program, which lets you earn points for leaving reviews or making purchases. If you haven’t explored Infinite Rewards yet, it’s worth a look (click HERE). Your feedback not only earns rewards but also helps strengthen our growing library of disc reviews.

With that in mind, we decided to dig into several disc categories to highlight the molds that rise to the top. With our ratings system, we weight molds that have more reviews heavier than those with fewer reviews. Let’s kick things off with the highest‑rated disc golf fairway drivers of all time.

Highest Rated Fairway Drivers

The Firebird and Teebird tied for first place with 4.74 stars out of 5. The Firebird is a reliable overstable driver that can still be thrown by newer players, because of its lower speed. It is excellent for headwind shots and spike hyzers.

The third highest rated control driver is the Thunderbird. It is like a faster Teebird. Less overstable than the Firebird, you can get more distance with the Thunderbird.

You could bag all three of these molds and cover a big variety of shots.

Highest Rated Very Overstable Fairway Drivers

The Innova Firebird takes first, of course, with the Dynamic Discs Felon coming in second place. The popular Felon was created to battle the Kansas winds, and it does a great job. If you’re looking for a disc that will not turn and give you a beefy fade, check out the Felon in Lucid plastic.

The Goliath Discs Chainbreaker is the third highest rated very overstable fairway driver. It lives up to its name, and will not back down from the fiercest wind on its way to the chains.

Click to see the highest rated very overstable fairway drivers.

Highest Rated Overstable Fairway Drivers

Obviously, the Champion Teebird and Champion Thunderbird will podium with this category, since they were the highest rated overall. Taking third place is the Discraft Undertaker. The Undertaker has a little more turn than the top two discs, but still has the reliable fade. The Undertaker will be celebrating its tenth birthday this year, having been released in 2016.

Click to see the highest rated overstable fairway drivers.

Highest Rated Understable Fairway Drivers

People are not only buying a lot of Sphinx’s, they are liking them a lot! The flippy I-Blend Sphinx is the highest rated understable fairway driver with 4.87 out of 5 stars. I have several Sphinx in I-Blend (and other plastic types for different situations.)

Taking second place is the Thought Space Athletics Mantra. This popular mold has a good amount of turn and very little fade. It flies straight for newer players, and a great shapable tool for more experienced players.

Rounding out the top three is the Axiom Insanity. It was Axiom’s first distance/control driver. Like the Mantra, the Insanity works fine for an intermediate player, giving them a straight flight. Advanced players will unlock its understability, and can use the Insanity for turnover shots.

Best Midrange Disc Golf Discs 2026

January 14, 2026 Ted Hegemann 24 comments

Check out the top midrange discs, and you could win a gift card!

Every year we like to look at the best sellers and the highest rated disc golf molds to see what it hot. We present this information in a series of blogs. This week we’re keeping the momentum going in our “Best Discs of 2026” series. Last time, we highlighted the top putters of the year. Now we’re shifting gears and diving into the best midrange discs for 2026.

Best Midrange Discs

Midrange discs are the workhorses of disc golf. They are used for control, consistency, and those crucial approach shots where placement is important. They come in a wide range of flight ratings, giving players options for almost any shot. While you can throw them off the tee, most players pull out their midranges for their second or third shots to set up an easy putt.
Before we break down this year’s standouts, let’s take a quick look back at last year’s midranges and which molds were on top.

Top Midrange Discs 2024

It is never surprising to see that the Buzzz is at the top of the list. It’s really just a question of what percentage of total sales, and how close is second place. Discraft had an exceptional year with their flagship midrange, selling more three times as many Buzzz’s as the second place Axiom Hex! The Innova Mako3, MVP Detour, and Axiom Balance rounded out the top five.

Best Midrange Discs 2025

Now let’s take a look at the current numbers:

Although the Buzzz didn’t have the same market share as the previous year, it is still more than double the sales of the second place Axiom Hex. The Hex took the number two spot for the second time, and sold nearly twice as many discs as the third place Innova Mako3 and Innova Fox. The Discraft Buzzz SS was just a tick behind the Mako3 and Fox, and was fifth place overall.

The Buzzz has been a popular disc since it was released 22 years ago. It has a fairly neutral flight, having a touch of turn and a bit of fade. Those flight numbers make it easy to shape your shots. The beadless rim feels great in your hand and makes for a smooth release. It comes in a huge variety of plastic types.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50

Innova had nine molds in the top 50, taking first place. Discraft was right on their Innova’s heels, with 8 molds. MVP and Infinite tied at five. Those four brands represent over half of all discs sold. There were nine brands that had one mold in the top 50, including Loop Discs and Doomsday Discs.

Highest Rated Midrange Discs

In addition to sales data, we also like to look at the highest rated midrange discs. This is made possible because of Infinite Discs Rewards Program, which rewards customers who leave reviews by giving them Infinite Points. Points can also be earned for other actions, like purchases and filling out profile information. Check out the Infinite Rewards Program HERE.

Highest Rated Midrange Discs

The Discraft Buzzz is highest rated midrange disc, with 587 reviews. That many ratings give us a high confidence that the rating reflects a consensus among a broad portion of disc golfers.

The second-highest mold is the Innova Mako3. The Innova Roc3 comes in third.

Check out all the Highest Rated Midrange discs here.

Highest Rated Very Overstable Midrange Discs

The Dynamic Discs Justice takes the top spot in this category. It is a great in a headwind and overall a strong utility disc. The Justice was just out of the top 50 molds.

In second place is the Innova Pig, while the Dynamic Discs Verdict took third.

There are numerous molds in this category with a perfect five-star rating. That is actually rather common when a disc doesn’t have very many reviews. But, we’ll run with it and list the top three with the most reviews.

Taking first is the relatively new Stokely Discs Cardinal. Not even two years old, this mold was one of the first to be produced by Scott Stokely in his line of discs. It holds it’s line well and delivers a solid fade at the end of flight. It is available in their Thermo plastic.

The Goliath Redemption and the Discmania Glacier took second and third respectively.

Highest Rated Stable Midrange Drivers

The Discmania FD is an shapable, straight-flying mold that can fill the needs of any player. Its low speed and high glide makes it great for newer players, and the stable flight can be utilized by the top pros. It takes the top spot for highest rated stable midrange.

The Infinite Discs Exodus took second place, while the Latitude 64 River took third.

Highest Rated Understable Midrange Discs

Once again we have some of the highest rated discs that have five star ratings with few ratings. Here are the results:

The Doomsday Discs Scavenger is easy to throw midrange that is a great tailwind disc, or perfect for hyzer flips. The name is right on brand for Doomsday, which has an end-of-world vibe. It holds the first-place spot.

The Prodigy M5 is second, and X-Com Aqu is third.

Best Disc Golf Putters of 2026

January 8, 2026 Ted Hegemann 26 comments

It’s always interesting to look at the sales data and disc ratings to see which discs are the most popular. Over the next few weeks we will be posting data so you can see which discs top the lists. This might give you ideas for new discs to try. We’ll start with putters. Let’s get to the data!

Top Putters for 2024

We’ll start by reviewing the top discs for 2024. Then we can see which discs changed spots, and if they went up or down. Here are the top 10 discs for 2024.

Top 50 Disc Golf Putters for 2025

It is impressive to see that there are nine discs that appear on both lists. Only the Axiom Proxy joined the top 10, replacing the MVP Glitch.

The top 10 putters represent about half of all putters sold in 2025. Leading the pack is the Discraft Zone, the popular throwing putter favored by pros and amateurs alike. Just a tick behind the Zone in sales is the Axiom Pixel. The Pixel was the top disc for 2024.

The last podium spot for last year belongs to the Gateway Wizard. The Wizard is the oldest mold in the top 10, receiving its PDGA approval in 2002. It is a best seller for Gateway.

The Pixel is one of the newer molds, getting PDGA approved late in 2023. It has been a popular mold from the beginning.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50

Let’s check out the brand representation in the top 50. No surprise for the number one spot. Once again, Discraft runs away from the competition with an impressive eight molds. Those molds are the Zone, Luna, Zone SS, Ricky Wysocki Prototype, Kratos, Fierce, Zone OS, and the Roach. The lowest rated of the eight Discraft discs is the Roach, which is in 40th place.

Highest Rated Putter of All Time

It should come as no surprise that the highest rated putter is also the best seller for the year. The Discraft Zone has an Infinite rating of 4.88 out of five stars. According to the Infinite website, the Zone is “a very overstable putter that is good for headwinds, strategic fades, forehand throws, flick putts, and slamming into chains at just the right angle.” With that versatility, it is no wonder that the Zone sells so well, and is rated so highly.

Here are the top ten highest rated putters:

In the Extra-Beefcake division, the Prodigy A-1 has a perfect record with 5 out of 5 stars. It is just what you need if you want to be able to throw in any headwind. The former champ, the Goliath Pillar, drops to second place with 4.90 stars. The Prodigy Distortion is in third at 4.75.
