Most Brands In The Top 50
There are ten different brands who have a disc in the top 50 best discs. That is down a couple from last year. Let’s take a look at which brands are represented, and how many molds they have on the list.
The top few brands are not a surprise. Innova and Discraft are some of the oldest disc golf brands, and sponsor some top pros. Their size gives them a lot more marketing opportunities. That helps them manage to stay on top despite all of the newer brands that have hit the market the last decade.
Top Rated Drivers
We’ve looked at the sales data for the top distance drivers, and now we’ll look at the top RATED discs. The infinite discs website allows customers to leave feedback and ratings on discs and accessories, and is a good resource for finding highly rated disc products. Let’s look at some of the distance drivers with the highest ratings. For our ‘Highest Rated’ sections, our system sorts by mold and plastic type.
Highest Rated Distance Drivers
Taking the number one spot with the highest consumer rating for distance drivers is Infinite Discs’ popular high-speed driver, the Emperor. The speed 12 driver has a popular flight that features a little turn with a reliable solid fade. It is available in numerous plastic types. It is also the signature disc of some of the top pros. The I-Blend Emperor has a 4.93 rating out of 5. Nearly perfect!
In second place with a rating of 4.86 is the Star Innova Wraith. Taking third is the Discmania Neo Enigma. The Enigma has a customer rating of 4.73.

Highest Rated Overstable Distance Drivers
Since the Emperor is considered an overstable driver and is the highest rated driver, it is obviously going to be the highest rated overstable driver. In this category, the Emperor took first, second, and tied for third, with three different plastics represented. In second place with 4.91 stars out of five is the Signature Swirly S-Blend. In third place at 4.90 stars is the Signature I-Blend. Also at 4.90 is the Halo Star Destroyer.

Favorite distance driver in the bag right now is the shyrke.
Wraith is the fav for more stable disc Understable I still use an eagle.
I think the Climo Skyway is going to be a hit. Only thrown for a few rounds but it flies pretty consistent.
My favorite distance driver in my bag is the Fission Time Lapse.
My favorite over stable distance driver in my bag is the Trace.
For next year, I think the Destroyer will come back to the first spot.

Viking Ragnorok (Viking-air)
2 – What is your favorite over/understable distance driver?
Doomsday Pestilence and MVP Dimension
3 – What do you think will be the best distance driver for next year? Innova Wraith again.
A really underrated distance driver is the MVP octane. For AMs, it’s the perfect mix of speed, glide, and slight stability. A beat up one and a new overtable one cover most of my distance shots and consistently give me 400 ft!
I have three favorite distance drivers: Innova Mystere, Innova Mamba, MVP Trail.
The Mamba is the best understable driver around. I have one in my bag that has lasted a decade, and is the most predictable disc in my bag.
The Mystere is my go to driver. It is more stable and doesn’t turn over as easily as the Mamba.
The Trail is simply easy to throw and is perfectly straight in flight.
Used to through the legacy rival a lot, it was just floppy enough to get it out on buzzer and it would flip up to dead straight. Unfortunately had some discs stolen so lost the broken in one. The insanity is quickly taken the place of that rival and the trace by streamline has become my go to for longer shots. Super excited to try some clash discs, like the wild honey and the spice!
1- overall favorite is my Innova Boss
2- I love my ESP Thrasher for understable
3- I think my Cloudbreaker is growing on me and will be great for me this year
I don’t have a big arm, and to my surprise the Wraith has been my best driver. I can cover a variety of shots by choosing different weights and/or plastics, and inexpensive F2s are easy to find.
1 – What is your favorite distance driver? – Innova Wraith
2 – What is your favorite over/understable distance driver? – Innova Wraith/Innova Mamba, with honorable mention to Prodigy’s D4 and D6
3 – What do you think will be the best distance driver for next year? Since the Wraith is currently available in glow dx, I think a proto glow dx Wraith would be great! Especially in lighter weights. A proto glow gstar Mamba would be awesome, too!
I play in SLC and Bay Area, so my favorite discs vary greatly.
In SLC my favorite is the Tern, for slight fade and the Destiny for more flip.
In San Francisco it’s the Wraith and the Archon. The Wraith is more stable for me.
Understable, in SLC is that Mamba, but I don’t dare throw that at sea level. (great hyzer flip)
At Golden Gate, I tend to flick for the other direction. So I keep throwing those same discs forehand or backhand.
favorite distance driver is the Ballista
favorite understable distance driver is the Air Bolt, followed by the Air King, because the Air King is so hard to find.
