Best Disc Golf Discs For Beginners

What Beginners Should Know About Choosing Disc Golf Discs

If you’re new to disc golf, the number of disc options can feel overwhelming. There are flight numbers, plastic types, and weight, all influencing how a disc performs. That’s before you even consider what colors or stamps you want. This guide will simplify those factors so you can make an informed choice.

To an outsider, all discs might look the same. But in reality, some discs are tailored for beginner-friendly learning, while others are designed for experienced players. This post focuses on molds that support beginners in developing proper form and confidence.

Understanding Disc Flight Numbers

Disc golf uses a four-number flight rating system. While imperfect, it’s the most useful benchmark we have. Here is what each digit tells you and why it matters:

  • Speed: Indicates how fast you must throw the disc for it to fly correctly. High-speed discs must be thrown a lot faster than slower-speed discs. Attempting to throw high-speed discs without the proper skill can encourage poor form. Beginners should stick with speeds between 1 and 5. You can get slightly faster discs if you can find them in lighter weights (under 160g)
  • Glide: Describes how long the disc stays in the air. Higher glide numbers help beginners maximize distance with less power.
  • Turn: Measures how much the disc will veer to the right (for a right-handed, backhand player) when thrown with speed. Beginners benefit from discs with turn ratings between –1 and –4. If your disc starts turning too much early in flight, consider a faster or more stable mold.
  • Fade: Reflects how much the disc will curve to the left at the end of its flight. Lower fade values are easier for beginners to manage, since their throws tend to lack high velocity.

What About Disc Weight

Although the flight numbers on a disc might make it good or bad for beginners, the weight of a disc can also make a big difference. Lighter disc golf discs are often better for beginners because they require less power to throw effectively, making it easier to get more distance with less effort.

Heavier discs can be harder to control for new players since they require faster arm speed to achieve a full flight, often resulting in short or inaccurate throws. A lighter disc is also more forgiving, as it tends to glide longer and stay in the air, giving beginners more time to see how their throw affects the disc’s flight. This added distance and control can help new players build confidence while developing proper form.

With those tips in mind, let’s look at the best disc golf discs for beginners.
  1. MVP Ohm  The Ohm is a straight-flying, very glidey putter from MVP. Even though is has a high glide, it can comfortably be used as a putting putter. The mold is similar to the Streamline Pilot.
  2. Discraft Archer   A former Ace Race disc, the Archer is popular among beginners for is flippy flight, and more skilled players look for a disc that will hold a turn. It has a shallow feel to the rim.
  3. Gateway Voodoo   Another straight putter, the Gateway Voodoo has an interesting feel. It is soft and very grippy. The Voodoo comes in a variety of plastic types.
  4. Innova TL3 Considered by Innova to be, “the evolution of the TL”, the TL3 is like a straighter TeeBird. It is also a great disc for newer players who want to take the next step and get a control driver.
  5. Viking Axe  The Axe is a domey midrange disc. It has little turn and fade. It’s great for accuracy and controlled shots.
  6. Discraft Roach Another Ace Race disc, the Roach is a popular putter from Discraft. The beadless disc makes a great approach disc, and is perfect for smashing chains.
  7. TSA Pathfinder The Pathfinder is a straight midrange disc from Thought Space Athletics. In addition to its shapable flight, since it is Thought Space, you know the stamp will be next level and the plastic will feel amazing!
  8. Innova Cobra The Innova Cobra has been around longer than nearly all of the beginners who would throw it. It is a midrange that has a little more turn than other mids on the list, and a little more fade. That combination will give you more options for shaping your shot.
  9. Yikun Yan With a little more glide than most mids, the Yan is a deep-rim, straight disc that will hold any line you put it on. It is a great choice for picking up some distance with little effort.
  10. Viking Cosmos Another great option for beginners who want a disc with a little more distance potential is the Viking Cosmos. Its flight is just what a beginner will need to expanding their game.

If you look at each of the discs listed, you’ll find they all fit the description above of what makes a great beginner disc. None of them are high-speed discs. None of them have crazy fade. They are all stable to understable discs. They are just what you should look for as you start your disc golf Journey!

Best Disc Golf Brands

Disc Golf Brands

If you’ve been playing disc golf very long, you have probably noticed the explosion of new brands entering the market. Every month, you can see new brands getting molds approved by the PDGA. Although many of those molds will never see the light of day, many will hit the market. Some of those will take off and become popular. Those disc sales are affecting the older, established brands. That is what we will talk about today.

In this blog, we will look at the popularity of all the major brands. We will take our data from Infinite’s sales for the past several years. That will show us which brands have sold the most, and how those numbers have changed over the past few years.

Comparing the Disc Golf Market of 2018 with 2025

In 2018, the disc golf market was largely dominated by a few key players. Innova stood as the undisputed leader with a commanding 37.17% market share. Discmania was our #2 selling brand with 9.06% and Dynamic Discs slightly behind at 8.96% of brand market share. While Discraft held a significant 7.68%, they were no where near Innova in terms of disc golf brand sales.

Here in 2025, the landscape looks a bit different. Although Innova is still the sales leader, their share of the market has dropped significantly since 2018. Discraft made big gains in 2019 after signing Paul McBeth. With additional pro signings, they have nearly caught Innova as the sales leader.

Other brands, like Doomsday, TSA, or Lonestar didn’t even exist in 2018. They are starting to carve out their own slices of the pie.

chart showing the best brands of 2025 to date

The biggest growth of the market share pie is the “Others” category. In 2018, disc golf brands outside of the top twelve represented only 6.5% of disc golf sales. This year, the others account for nearly 19% of our online sales. That is more than any single brand. It is, however, down a little bit from last year’s nearly 21%. It will be interesting to see if that number changes after a full year of sales.

Pandemic Disc Golf Brands

The Covid 19 pandemic lead to unprecedented growth in disc golf and the number of disc golf businesses. We currently sell over 40 different disc golf brands that didn’t even exist in 2018.

Lone Star Disc’s ascension from no Infinite Discs sales in 2020 to 1.6% brand share in 2024 demonstrates the power of local and regional branding. By tapping into the Texan spirit, they have captured the hearts of players in their area and beyond. While Lone Star was new to disc golf during the pandemic, they were not new to mold creation or injection molding. Their ability to produce dozens of molds almost instantly and their acquisition of a large professional and amateur disc golf team have had a big impact on their rapid growth. However, the brand has dropped in sales recently.

Additionally, the meteoric rise of Clash Discs from no US Sales in 2021 to 2.9% of the market share in 2023 illustrates the potential of novel marketing approaches and product differentiation.

Interestingly, Infinite Discs, while not a new entrant during the pandemic, has also seen impressive growth from 3.60% in 2018 to 14.7% of brand market share in 2024 thus far. Because we are InfiniteDiscs.com, the results are undoubtedly skewed from our direct sales, as Infinite Discs fans are more likely to shop from our retail site than anywhere else.

Likewise, Thought Space Athletics is another brand that has rapidly grown and seen sizeable market share added. Over the last six years they have gone from an obscure niche brand to a mainstream competitor. The focus on disc aesthetics and the signing several notable professional players certainly has helped.

Impact of Professional Players Switching Sponsors

Discraft and Paul McBeth

Paul McBeth Signs DiscraftDiscraft experienced a significant rise in its brand market share between 2018 and 2020, largely attributed to a strategic move that had a profound impact on the disc golf world. At the heart of this transformative shift was the signing of Paul McBeth, the then-undisputed number one disc golfer in the world. McBeth’s association with Innova, his long-standing sponsor, made his unexpected transition to Discraft a remarkable development. This transition was fueled by the allure of the first multi-million-dollar disc golf contract, shaking the foundations of the sport. McBeth’s immense popularity and prowess on the course created a seismic effect that reverberated across the sport, drawing newfound attention to Discraft. However, Discrafts rapid growth can’t be solely attributed to McBeth’s signing.

At the same time, Discraft also implemented strategic moves by producing more visually appealing discs and adding flight numbers to their stock discs. The timing of Discraft’s acquisition of former professional Ultimate Frisbee player Brodie Smith coincided with the pandemic shutdown of most Ultimate Frisbee events due to pandemic restrictions. This confluence of factors acted as a catalyst for Discraft’s rapid expansion, turning the brand into the second major contender in the disc golf industry.

MVP and Simon Lizotte

Pro Disc Golfer for MVP, Simon LizotteThe year 2022 witnessed a remarkable surge in the market presence of both MVP and Axiom. A pivotal catalyst for this growth was the strategic sponsorship of Simon Lizotte, widely regarded as one of the most popular disc golfers globally. Renowned not only for his exceptional skills on the course but also for his charismatic personality and substantial YouTube and social media followings, Lizotte’s affiliation with MVP and Axiom injected newfound energy and visibility into the brands.

With an engaging and dynamic presence, Lizotte captivated audiences and fans worldwide, drawing attention to MVP and Axiom discs in the process. His influence extended beyond just his performances on the course, transcending into a vibrant online community. This symbiotic relationship between Simon Lizotte’s appeal and the brands’ products culminated in a notable uptick in their market share. The combination of innovative disc designs, Lizotte’s influencer status, and his ability to connect with disc golf enthusiasts contributed to the meteoric rise of MVP and Axiom, solidifying their positions as influential players in the ever-evolving disc golf landscape.

MVP’s market share surged from 5.76% in 2018 to an impressive 8.20% in 2023. It dipped a little in 2025, but not by much. Axiom, a subsidiary of MVP, has had a more favorable trajectory. Axiom has grown from 3.25% in 2018 to 8.4% in 2025, showcasing their ability to carve out their niche in the market with pretty steady growth.

Discmania, Dynamic Discs and Latitude 64

Discmania Sponsored TournamentDiscmania’s trajectory is also noteworthy. Although their market share has decreased slightly from 9.1% in 2018 to 3.7% in 2025, their ability to maintain a considerable share amidst a rapidly expanding market signifies a dedicated following. This trend is echoed by brands like Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs, which have also maintained consistent shares recently, demonstrating their ability to foster brand loyalty.

Growth of New Disc Golf Brands

The data also underscores the growth of niche brands. Thought Space Athletics, a brand focusing on unique disc designs, has grown from 0% in 2018 to 3.6% in 2025. Similarly, Kastaplast, with its distinctive Swedish heritage and unique plastic blends, has grown from 0.8% in 2018 to 2.5% in 2025. These examples highlight the impact of brand identity and differentiation in a crowded market.

Furthermore, the diversification of the market is evident in the proliferation of smaller brands. While individually they may not command substantial market shares, collectively they contribute to the richness of options available to players. Brands like RPM Discs, DGA, Viking Discs, and Finish Line Discs may not dominate the market, but they cater to specific tastes and preferences.

 

The evolution of disc golf brands is evidence of the broader trend of the sport’s growing popularity. As more players enter the scene and as the sport gains recognition, the market becomes a battleground for innovation, quality, and brand loyalty. The increasing number of brands also speaks to the democratization of the sport, as more players are drawn in and more entrepreneurs seize the opportunity to create and promote their products.

The past six years have seen a shift in the disc golf market. While Innova’s leadership has slightly waned, it still maintains its position as the leading brand. However, the rise of MVP, Axiom, Lone Star Disc, and others indicates that the industry is open to disruption and innovation. The disc golf landscape is no longer characterized by a few giants, but rather by a diverse array of brands catering to different tastes, regions, and playing styles. This evolution bodes well for the continued growth and dynamism of the sport.

Best Disc Golf Fairway Drivers 2025

infinite discs sphinx

A disc golf fairway driver is designed for controlled distance and accuracy off the tee. Typically, it has a narrower rim compared to a distance driver, which allows for a more stable flight and greater control over a variety of throws. Fairway drivers are ideal for players who want accuracy, while still covering a substantial amount of ground. They work well for both beginners learning proper technique and experienced players looking for a disc that can handle a variety of shots, such as controlled hyzers, anhyzers, and straight throws. In this blog we will look at the best disc golf fairway drivers for 2025.

Best Fairway Drivers 2025

Much like our Best Putters of 2025 and Best Midrange Discs of 2025 blog posts, this week we will look at the Best Fairway Drivers of 2025. We’ll look at the top selling molds, the most popular brands, and the highest rated discs. Let’s start with the top molds for 2024, so we can look for changes:

chart best fairway 2024

 

Infinite Discs took two of the top three spots on the 2024 list, and four molds in the top 10. Taking first place is the popular Sphinx. The Sphinx accounted for 5% of all fairway drivers sold in 2024. It is a mold that I throw frequently.

Top 50 For 2025

Okay, now lets check out the top 50 control drivers for the first half of 2025:

The flippy fairway driver, the Sphinx held on to the top spot for 2025. Latitude 64’s River is off to a great start for 2025, reaching the podium. Two newer molds broke the top 10: Doomsday Discs’ Chemtrail and the Discraft Cigarra were both released within the past year, and still found a spot in the top 10. They join a long-time favorite, the Innova Firebird as top sellers.

Speaking of Innova, it looks like they had more molds in the top 50 than any other brand. The top 5 most popular brands remained the same and in the same order.

The highest-rated overstable fairway driver is a beefy disc from MVP, the Terra. The Terra is a disc that its reviewers absolutely love! It is an overstable mold that is in the James Conrad line of discs. It may not work as well for beginners. But, if you have a good arm you might want to consider this fairly beefy thrower from MVP.

Legacy had two Rivals in the top three, in second place is the Icon plastic, and in third, Pinnacle plastic.

Big Sale For National Disc Golf Day

Calendar showing August 2 and the words 'National Disc Golf Day'

Did you know disc golf has its very own holiday? Yep, this Saturday is National Disc Golf Day. While you won’t get a day off with pay, you can celebrate with us by enjoying a sale on many different brands. More sale info below.

National Disc Golf Day

National Disc Golf Day started back in 2016 by two people passionate about disc golf. Jason Wilder was a PDGA state coordinator for Minnesota. He teamed up with Throw Pink co-founder Sara Nicholson to petition for the ‘holiday’. With input from disc golf legends Dan “Stork” Roddick, Jim Palmeri, and Tom Monroe, the group decided on the first Saturday in August as the day to celebrate and recognize disc golf.

There were a several reasons why the first Saturday was chosen. First, the American Flying Disc Open was held in August 1974. That was one of the first competitions in the U.S. First prize for the event was a new car, a 1974 Datsun B210.

The second reason August was chosen was because it was the month that “Steady” Ed Headrick patented the ‘Flying Disc Entrapment Device’, or disc golf basket, in 1977. It was a celebration of the month that gave us two important events in disc golf history.

What if I order regularly from Infinite? First, thank you for your patronage! Second, yes, there is a small chance that if you add a Mystery Disc to an order, then add another Mystery Disc a short time later with a different order, you might get the same mystery disc. We really try to avoid that. We regularly add different discs to our Mystery pool and we keep our selection as fresh as possible. Our order pullers choose one randomly,
