Best Fairway Drivers 2026

July 20, 2026 Ted Hegemann 36 comments

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 already covered the top putters and midrange discs. Now we’ll take a mid-year look at the best fairway drivers 2026. Let’s start with the best fairway drivers, often called control drivers, for last year

Why 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 2025

My go-to fairway driver, the Sphinx, took 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 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 Doomsday Discs Chemtrail made the list last year. It was released in 2024, so it had its first full year of sales in 2025. It proved to be a popular mold!

The Latitude 64 River moved up a bit from the previous year, breaking into the top five.

Best Fairway Drivers 2026

The Axiom Bokeh will have its first full year of sales this year, and it is off to a great start. The Bokeh takes the top spot so far, with about 4% of all fairway driver sales.

Another Axiom mold took second place. The Crave has a decade head start over Bokeh, and has been a popular fairway driver, took the bridesmaid position last year, too.

The Sphinx slipped a little, moving from first place last year, to third this year. Still a good showing for the understable fairway driver from Infinite Discs.

A perennial favorite, the Innova TeeBird, comes in fourth so far this year. It will likely be on the list forever.

Doomsday Discs has their Chemtrail, which made the top five list for 2026. It has turn, but not too much, and a mild fade. The Chemtrail can be found in the bags of newer players and veterans alike.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50 July 2026

Old-school disc golf brands Innova and Discraft top the list. The two companies are responsible for a little under half of all fairway drivers sold so far this year. The third podium member is Infinite Discs. While Infinite is available for sale at disc golf retailers around the world, a majority of the sales of our own brand comes from our own website.

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.

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.

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

July 6, 2026 Ted Hegemann 31 comments

We’ll continue with our series that examines the top discs to see how they rank mid-year. Last time, we highlighted the top putters of the year so far. 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 consistent control 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.

Best Midrange Discs 2025

Let’s take a look at the numbers for last year:

The Buzzz is more than double the sales of the second place Axiom Hex. Seeing the Buzzz on top is never a surprise, since it has always been a very popular putter.

The Hex took the number two spot for the second time, and sold nearly twice as many discs as the third and fourth place Innova Fox and Innova Mako3. 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.

Now let’s see how 2026 numbers look:

The top five molds remained unchanged from last year. What did change was the percentage of total disc sales

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.

Brands in the Top 50 for 2026

The top 5 brands remained unchanged for the first half of 2026. In fact, only Innova numbers changed, increasing by one. Nerf’s new midrange disc made the list!

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.

Check out all the Highest Rated Very Overstable Midrange discs here.

Highest Rated Overstable Midrange Discs

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.

Check out all the Highest Rated Overstable Midrange discs here.

Highest Rated Stable Midrange Drivers

The Buzzz and Mako3 are obviously going to be on top of this list, and joining them is the straight-flying mold from Infinite Discs, the Chariot. Like the Buzzz and Mako3, the Chariot has a neutral flight and is perfect for straight tunnel shots or shaping left or right angles.

Check out all the Highest Rated Stable Midrange discs here.

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

June 26, 2026 Ted Hegemann 30 comments

It’s time for out mid-year peak at the top-selling discs so far this year. 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! We’ll start by looking at the top putters for the full year of 2025

Top 50 Disc Golf Putters for 2025

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.

Top Putter in 2026

Now we can see which molds players are choosing so far in 2026. Maybe a new mold came out that is fire? Maybe a pro is having a breakout year and people want to try what they throw? Maybe there is an amazing stamp or plastic type that is all the rage? Whatever the reason for buying particular molds, here are the top putters of 2026 so far.

A bulk of the top 10 molds are consistently some of the best sellers. This time, taking their turns at the top, are two of Infinite’s popular putters, the Tomb and the Alpaca. Those two putters alone made up a little over 10% of all putter sales. The next three molds, Pixel, Luna, and the Zone, make up another 10% of sales.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50 For 2025

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.

Brands With the Most Molds in the Top 50 2026

A couple Discraft molds dropped out of the top 50, leaving the former leader tied with MVP with 6 each. Axiom cam in third with 5. Those three brands had a third of all the molds in the top 50.

Highest Rated Disc Golf Putters

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:

Highest Rated Very Overstable 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.

Check out the list of Highest Rated Very Overstable Putters HERE

Highest Rated Overstable Putters

There are numerous molds in this category that have perfect 5.0 ratings. Many of them have a single review. The most reviews with a perfect rating is four, for the Latitude 64 Peak. For putters with more reviews, the Prodigy PA-2 has a rating of 4.94, and both the Axiom Envy and the Doomsday Discs Area 51 are rated at 4.90

Check out the list of Highest Rated Overstable Putters HERE

Highest Rated Stable Putters

Two Infinite molds sit on top of the sable discs category. The flat-topped Tomb and the beadless Alpaca have been best-sellers from the beginning. The Thought Space Athletics Praxis, as a popular drive and approach putter, comes in third.

Check out the list of Highest Rated Stable Putters HERE

Highest Rated Understable Putters

If we overlook the single-review, five-star rating for the Latitude 64 Beetle, we find the slightly-more-frequently-reviewed Westside Swan in first place. The Prodigy PA-5 would then be in second place, and the EV-7 Mobius takes third place.

Straightest Flying Disc Golf Discs

June 18, 2026 Ted Hegemann 3 comments

I’ve heard disc golfers say that the most difficult throw in disc golf is to throw a straight flight. Although course designers have a lot of obstacles that force us to shape our shots, they will also include holes where players have to negotiate straight, narrow tunnels. Those are the times that it is nice to have a straight-flying disc.

Why is Throwing Straight so Difficult?

When a disc moves through the air at high speed, the physics of its shape and rotation typically cause it to curve instead of flying in a perfectly straight line. A wider rimmed disc (higher speed discs) are typically even more difficult to throw straight.

In this blog we will define what we consider to be a straight flyer. Then we can look at the most popular straight-flying discs.

What Does ‘Straight-Flying’ Mean?

We are going to define a straight-flying disc as one with little or no turn (the drift to the right during the high-speed part of the flight, with a right-handed backhand shot), and little or no fade (drift to the left as it slows down). That should give you a fairly straight flight. You could also achieve a straight flight with a more understable (more turn) disc that you release on a hyzer angle. Then the disc can achieve a flight called ‘flip to flat’. It rotates until it is flying flat (horizontally), and it holds that line until it slows down.

Other discs have a turn and fade that makes the disc end up as if it were thrown straight. Although that flight would not be effective in a narrow tunnel, it still gives is virtually a straight disc.

Infinite Discs Reviews

Our website gives users an opportunity to leave reviews for discs and accessories. Those reviews have valuable information that can help you as you search for a new disc. We also reward reviewers with points that can be redeemed for story credit! More information about our rewards program HERE

One of the categories that people indicate when reviewing a disc is how the disc flies for them. Is it overstable? Understable? Straight? We can then use those indicators to see which discs are the straightest fliers. Below are the results.

Straightest Disc Golf Putters

MVP Nomad

The Nomad is a beaded putter in the James Conrad line. It has a straight flight with some torque resistance for power throws. The stamp is part of the line that includes some of James’ favorite places to travel. This one features Arches National Park here in Utah.

Discmania Logic
Viking Rune
Infinite Discs Cohort
Innova Firefly
Westside Swan
Dynamic Discs Marshal
Lone Star Discs Penny Putter
Discmania P1
Prodigy P Model US

Straightest Flying Midranges

Prodigy M4

The M4 features flight numbers you would expect on a straight-flying disc. It has a little turn and a gentle fade. The M4 would be a good choice for people of all skill levels.

Alfa Discs Apollo
Discmania MD1
Latitude 64 Core
Kastaplast Gote
Innova Mako
Innova Atlas
Innova Mako3
Infinite Discs Chariot
Westside Warship

Straightest Fairway Drivers

Lone Star Disc Guadalupe

The Guadalupe is a shapable disc that people are undoubtedly hyzer-flipping in order to fly straight. It has more turn and fade than some of the discs on the list.

Millenium Orion LS
Millenium JLS
Legacy Discs Patriot
Discraft Zombee
Discraft Passion
Lone Star Disc Lariat
Discmania Essence
Innova TL
Axiom Crave

Straightest Distance Drivers

Discmania Enigma

The Evolution Enigma is part of the Evolution line of discs. It is the first distance driver in the line. The Enigma can be used as a hyzer-flip disc for tunnels and long bomber shots.

Westside Sword
Westside Northman
Gateway Apache
Innova Colossus
MVP Inertia
Streamline Trace
Dynamic Discs Trespass
Axiom Tenacity
Axiom Vanish

Conclusion

Some of the drivers on the list have flight numbers that don’t seem like I would consider them straight-flying discs. Others, like the putters and mids are a lot easier to see, since they have straight flight numbers. My straight putt/approach disc, an R-Pro Dart, didn’t make the list. Neither did my straight driver, a Centurion. How about yours? What are your go-to discs for holding a straight line? Let us know in the comments!

Best Disc Golf Approach Discs

May 29, 2026 Ted Hegemann 2 comments

You can have the best drive you’ve ever thrown, but if you aren’t close enough to putt into the basket, you are going to have to make an approach shot. Make a good approach and you can drop your putter in the baskets. Mess up and you might end up working hard to get in the basket.

Approach shots are important, and which disc you chose to approach can give you the confidence you need to make a good shot. In this blog we will talk about approach discs and explore which ones are rated the highest, and which ones sell the most. That will let you know which discs other people have found success with, and can help shape your decisions.

Wait, what IS an approach disc?

OK, you really could use any disc to try to land near the basket to give yourself a putt. If you have to cover a lot of ground before you get to the basket, you might need to use a higher-speed disc. For shorter, technical shots you’ll likely use a midrange or putter. (Of course, there are exceptions, even for shorter shots.) For this blog, we are going to be talking about putters, since they are categorized as putt/approach discs. That should give us the most accurate results.

In this blog we will look at three things:

The best-selling approach putters
The highest-rated approach putters
Other popular discs that we see on the course

Top Selling Approach Discs

Here are the discs that people buy the most:

1 Axiom Pixel

2 Discraft Zone

3 Infinite Discs Tomb

4 Infinite Discs Alpaca

Highest Rated Approach Discs

Here are the discs that people give the highest reviews:

1 Discraft Zone

2 Axiom Envy

3 Gateway Wizard

4 Infinite Discs Tomb

5 Dynamic Discs Judge

10 Infinite Discs Alpaca

Honorable Mentions

Other popular approach discs:

Kastaplast Berg

There were two players on my card at league this week that bag a Berg. It is the go-to for several members of our club. I see a lot of Bergs at tournaments and other events. It is a low glide, low speed putter that will handle high-power throws. It is a great mold for accurate approach shots.

Prodigy PA-3

The PA-3 is a beaded putter that flies super straight. Its straight flight and mellow fade make a great combination for tactical approaches. It comes in a variety of plastics, so you can get the exact feel that you need to give you the confidence to attack the basket.

Axiom Proxy

A favorite of Simon Lizotte, the Proxy is another straight disc that can handle some torque. It has the same core as the Envy. The Proxy can serve you well as a putting putter, drives off the tee, or accurate approach shots.

Thought Space Athletics Praxis

This straight-flying disc can handle forehand and backhand shots with ease. It flies straight with minimal fade. The beadless Praxis can be used by people of all skill levels. Plus, with Thought Space Athletics, you’re sure to get a disc with some of the best stamps in the business!

MVP Watt

The Watt is similar to the Ohm and the Pilot. The beadless putter has a deep rim that will give you deadly-accurate straight flights. Its neutral flight numbers mean you can shape your shots and approaches with confidence.

Best Throwing Putters for 2026

May 19, 2026 Ted Hegemann 17 comments

In disc golf, a disc is sorted into types based on it’s dimensions. A disc with a rim width of .8-1.1mm is considered a putter. However, many molds that fall into that rim size are rarely used for putting. Many of them are considered approach or driving discs. Those are the molds we want to focus on today.

In this blog we will check out sales data and reviews to find the best throwing putters for 2026. Yes, we do see some people putt with these molds. But we see these mostly used off the tee or as approach discs. Let’s find the best!

Discraft Zone

If you look at the top of nearly every ‘best throwing putter’ list, you’ll find the Zone. It has the overstability to handle power shots and headwinds. Used by people of all skill levels, the Zone is a reliable option for pros, and a great workhorse utility disc for lesser-skilled players. Check out the Zone today to see why it has become so popular.

Discraft Luna

The Luna is likely tops on the list of throwing putters that are also used for putting. The Luna is the first Paul McBeth putter for Discraft. This beadless putter is great for putting and can also be used as a driver, with the stability needed for the big arm throwers. There is a reason Paul bags the Luna!

Innova Aviar

Easily the oldest mold on the list, the Aviar is likely the most-copied. It is a classic putter that is older than most people reading this. This beadless and available in most plastic types. It doesn’t have the overstability of other discs, but it is still a good, shapable mold that has stood the test of time.

Infinite Discs Tomb

With a loyal fan following, the Tomb is flat topped, beaded disc that sports a low profile. It has a perfect flight for tight woods and open fairways. It isn’t the best mold for strong headwinds. However, it is great for technical shots, putting, and works well for backhand and for hand shots. Pick one up today and join the Tomb Gang!

MVP Envy

Once James Conrad threw an Envy into the basket at the 2021 World Championship, the Envy became one of the hottest disc on the market. Don’t get me wrong, the Envy has been a hot seller from the beginning. This stable disc can be ripped with tons of power, and fly beautifully. Over time you can get a good flip-to-flat flight that makes precision approach shots a lot easier.

Gateway Wizard

While not quite as old-school as the Aviar, the Wizard has been a Gateway staple for over two decades. It consistently ranks among the best throwing putters and putting putters. You may not reach for the Wizard for extra-long drives. But you will love it for technical shots. The beaded putter can be used in as many situations as it has plastic types. It is a legendary putter that outsells every other Gateway mold by a long shot.

Kastaplast Berg

The Berg’s thumbtrack might be a deal breaker for you. But if you’re comfortable with the feel, you’ll fall in love with its deadly-accurate throws. The Berg has both a speed and glide of one, making it excel at shorter, accurate shots that sit where they land. The secret is out and more players are discovering the reliability of the Berg.

Latitude 64 Pure

The straight-flying Pure is another mold that is just as comfortable inside circle one as with long approach shots. It is beadless and feels great in the hand. The flight numbers make it great for shaping your lines. It has a touch of turn and a mild fade. The Pure is available in lots of plastics, so you’re sure to find it in your favorite type.

MVP Glitch

The Glitch has been around for a few years, and quickly became a popular mold. It has a low speed and an insanely high glide. Not only can you get impressively long flights, you can shape those flights to make the Glitch do what you want. Things can get a little tricky throwing it on a really windy day, due to the Glitch’s light weight. Personally, I only reach for my Glitch if I have a shorter, technical shots that my mid’s just can’t pull off. Under those circumstances, the Glitch shines.

Infinite Discs Alpaca

Another disc that has been popular since its release is the Alpaca. It is popular as a putting putter among Infinite’s pros. Whether you are crushing long drives, tossing technical approach shots, or putting from 10 meters, you can rely on the Alpaca. It flies accurately for a variety of shots. The beadless putter comes in lots of plastics.

So, which one is the best?

If you look at the number of discs sold, the Zone comes out on top. If you look at the nearly perfect rating, once again you’ll find the Zone. Pros love it, ams love it. Power throwers and noodle arms can bag the Zone. With all that said, the winner is the Discraft Zone.

Which Putter Do You Drive And Approach With?

There is our list. Now we want to hear from you! What is your go-to putter for drives and approaches? If you have more than one, which one do you throw the most?

Best Beginner Disc Golf Sets

April 10, 2026 Ted Hegemann One comment

Disc golf is a sport that is incredibly easy to get into. Most courses are free and people can pick up a nice set of discs for pretty cheap. In fact, the toughest thing about starting is knowing which discs to choose among the many options. That’s where a beginner disc golf set comes in. A good starter set gives you a good foundation to learn the game.

When you buy a beginner set, you aren’t just getting three random discs. A good beginner set gives you discs that work well for new players. They are carefully chosen molds that are easier to throw for newer players. Most of these molds can be used even after the player improves their form. With that in mind, let’s look at some of the best beginner disc golf sets.

Best Beginner Disc Golf Sets

1- Infinite Starter Set

This set is an awesome choice for a couple of reasons: First, it features molds that will allow you to actually use the discs right out of the box. The Sphinx is an understable fairway driver that is perfect for new players. Plus, as your skills improve you can use it as a hyzer flip or roller disc. The Anubis is a point-and-shoot mold that will hold the line and angle you put it on.

Second, the I-blend plastic that the Sphinx and Anubis come it Infinite’s I-Blend plastic. This plastic is one of my favorites because it has a great grippy fee, it is nearly as durable as any other plastic, and it is a little cheaper than other premium plastics.

Check out the Infinite Starter Set HERE

2 – Doomsday Discs Prepper Set

If you aren’t familiar with Doomsday Discs, you should set aside some time to look into the brand. With an ‘end of the world’ theme, Doomsday has developed a loyal group of fans from around the world. All of the names of their discs, as well as the plastic names, follow their same theme.

Best Disc Golf Discs For Women

Find the Best Discs For Women, Then Comment to Win

A lot of us spend time hunting for the perfect disc golf discs, trying to squeeze out a little more distance or a little more control. But as a guy, I also know that what works well for guys might not be the best fit for many women players. Strength, hand size, and throwing power can all influence which discs will fly the way they’re supposed to. So in the spirit of making disc golf more welcoming and accessible for everyone, I wanted to put together a guide focused specifically on discs that tend to work well for women.

We’ll look at the best drivers, midranges, and putters for women, along with the flight numbers and weights that usually pair well with lower‑power throws. Whether you’re brand new to the sport or already confident on the tee pad, choosing discs that match your power and form can make a huge difference in both distance and consistency.

Why talk about different discs?

Men generally have more upper‑body strength, longer arms, and bigger hands. That combination makes it easier to throw higher‑speed discs and handle heavier weights. Women (and younger players and new players) often get better results with discs that are lighter, slower, and more understable. These discs don’t require as much power to fly correctly, which means more distance and more fun.

Let’s Talk About Flight Numbers

Briefly, the four-number flight rating system that disc golf has adopted to describe the flight of a disc is the best way we have to categorize our discs. The four numbers represent (in the order they appear on the disc or a website):

Speed – the relative speed you need to be able to throw the disc in order for it to fly correctly.
Glide – How long the disc will stay in the air
Turn – The amount the disc will drift to the right (RHBH throw) at the fastest parts of its flight
Fade – The amount that the disc will drift to the left as it starts to slow down

Which Flight Numbers Should You Consider

Disc flight is shaped by four numbers: speed, glide, turn, and fade. Matching those numbers to your throwing power is the key to getting the flight you expect. Here’s a quick breakdown of what women (and newer players, kids, and anyone with lower power) should look for:

Speed (1–14): Stick to speed 9 or below unless you’re an advanced player. Faster discs need more power to fly right.
Glide (1–7): More glide = more distance. Look for glide in the 5–7 range.
Turn (-5 to 2): More turn helps you get long, easy S‑curves. Aim for -5 to -2.
Fade (0 to 5): Keep fade low (0 to 2, so the disc doesn’t hook left too early.

Don’t forget about weight

Lighter discs (150–165g) are easier to get up to speed, which helps them fly the way they’re designed to. This is one of the easiest ways to add distance without changing your form.

Best Drivers For Women

Latitude 64 Diamond — Lightweight, easy to throw, great for developing form.
Innova Leopard — A beginner‑friendly fairway driver with gentle turn and tons of control.
Infinite Discs Sphinx — Understable, long‑gliding, and available in very light weights.
