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.

Other great options: Innova Shark, Discmania Essence, Divergent Kraken, Innova Mamba, MVP Signal, Dino Discs Pterodactyl, Innova Sidewinder.

Best Midrange Discs For Women

Discraft Buzzz — Straight, reliable, and comfortable for almost any hand size.
Infinite Discs Kon Tiki — Understable, low‑profile, and great for players with smaller hands.
Latitude 64 Fuse — Smooth, straight flights with minimal fade and lots of weight options.

Other solid picks: Axiom Paradox, Infinite Anubis, Doomsday Scavenger, Latitude 64 Pearl, Dynamic Discs Truth, Discraft Meteor, Discraft Stratus.

Best Putters For Women

Innova Aviar — A long-time classic that is great for putting, approaches, and even short drives.
Dynamic Discs Judge — Straight‑flying, with a bead. (The Warden is the beadless version.)
Infinite Discs Alpaca — A modern favorite with a clean release and a good all-around mold.

Other putters to try: Infinite Tomb, Latitude 64 Ruby, Dynamic Discs Warden, Latitude 64 Pure, Axiom Proxy, Discraft Fierce, Discmania P2.

Best Disc Golf Sets

February 20, 2026 Ted Hegemann 3 comments

Getting a starter set is one of the easiest ways for new disc golfers to jump into the sport with confidence. These sets bundle together a few well‑chosen molds at a great price, giving beginners discs that are actually designed for their skill level. Most starter sets feature lighter weights and beginner-friendlier flights, which means players can get good flights right away instead of fighting discs that are too fast or too overstable. It’s a simple way to skip the guesswork and start learning the game with tools that help you succeed.

As players gain experience and begin to understand their throwing style, they’ll find plenty of sets aimed at intermediate and advanced skill levels too. Those kits introduce more specialized molds, higher‑speed options, and plastics that offer better durability and performance. No matter where someone is in their disc golf journey, there’s a set that fits their needs and helps them grow. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the best starter sets of 2025 and what makes each one worth considering.

Best Disc Golf Sets for 2026

Divergent Discs Max Performance Starter Set

The Max Performance Starter Set from Divergent Discs brings together three beginner‑friendly molds built for easy distance and dependable control. Inside the pack you’ll find the Nuno putter, the Kapre midrange, and the Basilisk distance driver—each designed to help newer players get consistent, satisfying flights. The Basilisk, in particular, stands out as a distance driver made for players who typically throw under 250 feet, offering a full, gentle S‑curve that works beautifully for women, seniors, recreational players, and anyone still developing power.

Both the Kapre and the Nuno provide reliable stability with very little end‑fade, making them excellent choices for straight, controlled lines. All three discs come in Divergent’s Max Grip plastic, a blend known for its comfortable feel, solid durability, and excellent grip in a variety of conditions. For players looking to build confidence and explore their growing abilities, this high‑performance starter set is an easy and enjoyable way to level up their game.

Divergent Discs Premium Plastic Starter Set

The Divergent Discs 3‑disc starter set is built for brand‑new players and anyone with slower arm speed. It features three easy‑to‑throw molds:

Narwhal putter for straight, controlled approaches,
Leviathan mid‑range for effortless glide
Kraken driver, which offers a touch more speed for players learning to add distance without sacrificing accuracy.

All three discs come in durable, high‑quality plastic that outlasts many other beginner sets, making this a reliable and long‑lasting entry point into disc golf.

Viking Discs Ground Set – 8 Discs

The Viking Discs 8‑Disc Set is a full collection of the brand’s original lineup, all presented in their popular Ground plastic. This bundle brings together a variety of eight molds from a rapidly growing Finnish manufacturer, giving players a complete selection of putters, midranges, fairways, and drivers right out of the box. Buying the full set not only saves money compared to purchasing each disc individually, it’s also an easy way to start (or expand) a well‑rounded disc golf collection.

This set includes:

Viking’s Ground plastic is designed for excellent grip in all weather, hot, cold, or rainy, thanks to its flexible, slightly tacky feel. Compared to their other blends, Ground plastic tends to offer more glide and breaks in more quickly, helping discs work into straighter, more desirable flight paths over time. For players who want a complete, versatile lineup with great hand feel and dependable performance, this 8‑disc set is a standout choice.

X-Com 3 Disc Starter Set

The X‑Com beginner starter set offers a simple and affordable way to jump into disc golf. It includes a putter, a mid‑range, and a driver, each designed to fly well for players who are still developing their form. The discs are lightweight and designed for straight, flights even with low arm speed, making them especially desirable for kids and new players.

The discs in this set include:

Bennu

Griffon

Helios

Despite being targeted to beginners, all three discs are fully PDGA‑approved, so players can confidently use them in competitive play as their skills grow. For anyone looking for an easy entry point into the sport, this set delivers everything needed to get started on the course.

Divergent Discs Complete 8-Disc Set with Starter Bag

The Divergent Discs Complete 8‑Disc Set with Bag is an excellent all‑in‑one option for new and developing players. It includes a full lineup of beginner‑friendly molds. They include easy‑to‑throw discs that perform well right away, along with a few higher‑speed options you’ll grow into as your skills improve. From day one, players will find a clear purpose for each disc in the set. The set includes a starter bag that holds 8–12 discs, giving you room to expand your collection as you continue your disc golf journey.
All eight discs come in Divergent’s durable, grippy Max Grip plastic and cover every shot you’ll need on the course:

• Putters: Narwhal, Nuno
• Midranges: Leviathan, Kapre

Divergent Discs 3 Driver Booster Set

The Divergent Discs 3‑Disc Booster Set adds three specialty drivers to your lineup, each one offering flight characteristics not found in the Divergent Starter Set or the Max Performance Set. This trio is designed to expand your shot selection, giving you distance options and more ways to shape lines on the course.

The Lawin is a high‑speed distance driver built for power throwers or players who need dependable fade at the end of the flight. Its overstable profile makes it ideal for fighting headwinds, navigating around obstacles, or throwing full‑power drives without worrying about unwanted turn.
Lawin: 12 / 5 / -2 / 2

The Minotaur is an overstable fairway driver that delivers strong, reliable fade at shorter distances. It’s perfect for controlled placement shots, skip lines, and situations where you need a disc that will finish hard every time.
Minotaur: 8 / 3 / 0 / 4

The Tiyanak rounds out the set as a very understable fairway driver designed for players with low arm speed or anyone who struggles to get discs to fly straight. For beginners throwing under 200 feet, it provides effortless turn and long, gentle flights. For experienced players, it doubles as a roller disc, a hyzer‑flip machine, or a touchy anhyzer option. It’s the most beginner‑friendly driver in the entire Divergent lineup.
Tiyanak: 8 / 5 / -4 / 1

Together, these three discs offer a wide range of utility and make an excellent upgrade for players looking to expand their bag with purpose‑built drivers.

Divergent Discs 5 Disc Set with Mini Marker

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

Best Disc Golf Plastics

September 11, 2025 Ted Hegemann 11 comments

Disc tote holding a variety of different disc golf plastics.

In the current state of disc golf, we have lots of choices of plastic types. The type of plastic affects the flight, the feel, and the look of the disc. And it can determine the life expectancy of the disc. In this blog we will look at different plastics, and find the best type for a variety of disc types.

Plastic Characteristics

If you look at any disc on Infinite’s website, you can see which plastic types are available for that mold. Once you click on a plastic type, you’ll see a graph that rates three characteristics of that particular plastic. Those three may make a difference as to whether we choose that plastic or not. Those three characteristics are Durability, Softness, and Grip. Those qualities will help us as we discuss the best plastics for each category that we will explore. Let’s check out the best plastics!

Best Disc Golf Plastic For Drivers

When we reach for our drivers, we are more likely to be going for distance and throwing with more power. That means we will be hitting objects harder, and a more durable plastic would be preferable. However, durability is a double-edge sword when it comes to drivers. An extremely durable plastic will give you a longer life and once its broke in it will keep a consistent flight for a long time. Conversely, it may take a long time to break in, leaving you with a less than desirable flight until it becomes ‘seasoned’. Overall, a durable premium plastic is desirable in a driver. That is why there are so many durable plastics in the top 5.

One exception is DX plastic. DX is a base plastic that beats in quickly. It is inexpensive, making it a great choice for beginners, or people wanting to try new molds. Although it does get seasoned quickly, it can also get too beat in, making it flippy.

Here are the top five best plastics for drivers:

Star – This popular plastic comes in a variety of colors and molds. It is durable and has an amazing feel.
ESP
Neutron
I-Blend
DX

Best Plastic For Putters

Purple MVP Glitch in Neutron Soft plastic

When looking at the most popular plastic for putters, you find two different grip extremes. Softer, grippier plastics are great for short range putting due to their ability to ‘grab’ the chains. However, stiffer plastics are great for driving or approach shots. Here are the top five plastics for putters:

Neutron – Some of our best-selling approach discs come in Neutron plastic. It is a durable plastic, and the overmold adds another layer of durability.
D-Blend
DX
P-Blend Glow
ESP

Best Plastics For Dyeing

Disc golf plastic good for custom disc dyes

Disc dyeing is a popular activity among disc golfers. It gives people and opportunity to unleash their creativity, and end up with a unique disc. There are many different methods for dyeing a disc, but the goal is the same: to get the dye into the plastic. They type of plastic used makes a huge difference in the results of a dye. In this category, premium plastics rule the day. Base plastics can be dyed, but the results are never as good as dyeing premium plastics.

Here are the best plastics for dyeing discs:

Star – A white Star disc will give the best results from dyeing. It makes colors pop and resists bleeding.
ESP
S-Blend
Prodigy 400G
Tournament

Best Plastic For Winter

Playing disc golf in cold weather presents some new challenges for those willing to brave the winter temperatures. First, discs fly differently in colder weather. The plastic is stiffer and you get less glide from your discs. They also tend to be more overstable due to the air density. Grip is also affected by the cold stiff plastic. And cold temperature disc golfers always run the risk of cracking their discs due to hitting a hard object like a tree or light post. With those challenges in mind, we can explore which discs are best for winter play

GStar – Not only does the GStar excel in winter golf, it has a sheen and textured look that is beautiful. GStar plastic remains soft even in cold weather, giving you a consistent feel year ‘round.
Neutron Soft
Base Plastics
G-Blend
FLX

Honorable mention: Elevation Discs – Elevation’s extra-soft materials are just as floppy in winter as in summer. Try one of their molds and see what the hype is about.

Best Plastics For Beginners

Group of disc golfers waiting around before a league round.

When we are starting out in disc golf, most of us experiment with molds and plastics until we find the discs that work the best for us. A great option to start with is a base plastic. Base plastics have several qualities that make them good for beginners. They have good grip and are softer than some premium discs. They also break in faster than premium discs, giving you a good flight in a shorter amount of time. Plus, they are the least expensive plastic. If you are experimenting with molds, it won’t cost as much to try new ones.

DX – This plastic feels good and breaks in quickly. Being cheaper than premium is a nice bonus.

Best Plastic For Night Disc Golf

Glow in the dark disc plastic by MVP brightly glowing in the dark.

Although glow-in-the-dark plastics are common and most brands offer some glow options, not all glow plastics are created equal. Some brands get it right and their plastic glows brightly and holds it for a long time. Others have a glow so weak that it is difficult to tell if it is actually glow plastic. Fortunately, several brands have reworked their glow plastics and have really improved their products.

Night rounds are a blast and one of the things that makes it great is watching your glowing disc in flight. Having a plastics that glows bright makes it fun to watch, and makes it easier to find your disc. Here are the best plastics for night disc golf:

Eclipse 2.0 – MVP has some of the best glow plastic on the planet. They are consistently bright and long lasting. Get a few MVP, Axiom, or Streamline molds for your glow rounds.
Lone Star Glow
K1 Glow
Innova Glow
TSA Glow

Most Durable Disc Golf Plastics

Durable Champion Plastic

Durable plastics are great for disc golf because there are usually lots of obstacles on a course. Durable plastics can take a hit without losing their flight characteristics. Softer, less durable plastics get dinged up easier, which can alter the flight and stability of a disc. Sometimes dings and dents can alter the flight so much that it may need to be replaced.

Discs made of durable plastic take longer to get ‘seasoned’ and achieve the desired flight. But once they do, you can usually throw the disc for a long time and still have a consistent flight. Although the most durable discs are not indestructible, they can definitely take more abuse than softer discs. Here are some of the most durable plastics.

Champion – This translucent plastic is an extra-durable workhorse. Get your favorite mold in Champion and that disc will last for a long time.
