MVP New Releases

June 19, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Brad and Chad Richardson worked for their father at Maple Valley Plastics. While working there, the two brothers had an epiphany. While examining a door handle that was made with a rigid plastic covered with soft rubber, they thought that they could bring the same concept to disc golf. They developed and patented a method of combining an inner core made of one material, with an outer core made from another material. In 2010 MVP Discs was born.

Getting Started

For the first several years they worked in their parent’s barn, before moving to a larger building in 2015. Since then, they have expanded their building, became a household name, and signed some of the most well-known disc golfers on the planet to their team. And they have accomplished all of that in a relatively short time.

Long before James Conrad threw his Signature Envy into the basket to force a playoff in the 2021 World Championship, MVP discs were being thrown at courses around the world. Conrad’s Holy Shot simply cemented MVP’s place in history and introduced their molds to a world audience.

Amazing Growth

Since their early days experimenting with a novel idea, MVP has expanded their brand to include Axiom Discs and Streamline Discs, and a complete catalogue of both overmold and single-mold discs. The brothers are a perfect example of working hard to bring a good idea to fruition.

Infinite will be releasing four MVP/Axiom molds later today. These molds include new plastics and some creative stamps. Let’s check them out!

Fission Trail

10, 5, -1, 1

You might have got a sneak peek at this disc at the PDGA Champions Cup. Now you can pick up one of your own. The triple-foil stamp illustrated by John Dorn represents the many switchbacks one must endure to rise to the top.

Fission plastic utilizes a unique microbubble technology that creates a softer and lighter flight plate, accenting the gyro effect of the disc. It is a great disc that will gives a little turn, and a mellow fade. Perfect for a variety of skill levels.

Plasma Dimension

14.5, 5, 0, 3

This release is the next Eagle McMahon Team Series disc, the Plasma Dimension. The stamp is the debut for his Synergy Series. The series centers around the concept of duality and harmony. The stamp is illustrated by Green C Studio.

The Dimension is a high-speed, overstable driver that can crush drives in a skilled hand. For intermediate and advanced players, you’ll have the best extreme headwind disc in your bag.

Check out the Plasma Dimension HERE

Prism Neutron Trance

8, 5, -2, 1

The Prism Neutron Trance has made appearances at the last couple OTB Open tournaments. This popular and much requested disc is now available with a stock stamp. It has a Proton rim and a Neutron flight plate.

The Trance has a flight that will help newer players find a lot of distance. It is stable to understable, with a good amount of glide. More experience players can shape the Trace to long, flexing flights, and be able to get late-flight turn.

Check out the Axiom Prism Neutron Trance HERE

Eclipse Insanity

9, 5, -2, 1.5

Another disc that has previously seen the light of day, and the dark of night, is the Eclipse Insanity. It was a special edition release, fitting for Halloween 2021.

The Insanity is a great understable disc that can be used as a turnover disc or a flip-up disc. Not only is it a great disc for your daytime round, you can keep the fun flying high once the sun goes down. MVP has some of the best glow plastic in the business!

Best Disc Golf Approach Discs

June 2, 2025 Ted Hegemann 2 comments

The Best Disc Golf Approach Discs

The disc golf putter is the true workhorse of the sport. It’s the disc you trust for drives off the tee, precision approaches, and that final putt into the basket. While you can throw any disc for any shot, you probably aren’t reaching for a high-speed driver when you’re inside 100 feet. Or putting with a fairway driver (unless it is a tap in or a short putt). The disc golf putter, on the other hand, is a versatile tool that shines in a variety of shot types.

What is an approach disc?

Obviously, any disc golf disc can be used to approach a basket. Since the goal of approaching the basket is to land as close as possible to make your putt as easy as possible, you don’t want to worry about big skips. Using lower speed discs that will sit down easier helps you achieve that goal. That makes putters a great choice for an approach disc. Midrange discs can also be used effectively.

Since most putters are labeled as “putt & approach” discs, it would help to know the difference between a “putting putter” and an “approach disc”. Unfortunately, there isn’t a rule that defines the difference between the two types of discs. Generally speaking, putters used for drives or approach shots are overstable, premium plastics, with more glide than putters used for putts. However, you can always find disc golfers who putt with molds that have the qualities of an ‘approach putter’.

Fortunately, most of the discs on our list would be considered approach putters by a majority of disc golfers, so are effectively looking at the top approach putters. In this blog, we’ll look at three things:

The best-selling approach putters
The highest-rated approach putters
And some of the other approach discs we see on the course.

Let’s go!

Top-Selling Approach Discs

Here are the discs that players can’t stop buying this year:

Highest-Rated Approach Discs

Want to know which discs have the best reputations? According to player ratings, these are the top approach discs:

Popular Approach Discs Seen on Courses

Some discs may not top the sales charts or the ratings, but they’re everywhere on the course. Let’s highlight a few of the classic approach discs that deserve a shout-out:

Innova Gator

The Gator is an overstable, bead-edged beast that thrives in windy conditions and tight lines. It’s technically a midrange, but many players treat it like an approach disc due to its overstability and reliable fade. Plus, it’s a great disc for both backhand and forehand shots.

Check out the Gator HERE

Dynamic Discs Justice

The Justice is about as overstable as it gets. If you need a disc that laughs at headwinds and dumps hard to the left (for RHBH players), the Justice is your friend. It’s perfect for flex lines and sharp doglegs where you need a reliable finish.

Check out the Justice HERE

Innova Aviar

The Innova Aviar has been a staple among disc golfers for decades. It is less stable than many discs on our lists, and more likely to be used as a putting disc. However, many disc golfers love the reliability and feel of the classic disc.

Check out the Aviar HERE

Discraft Zone OS

If you are looking for a disc that can handle a little more arm speed, or you’re throwing into a headwind, the Zone OS should be on your radar. It is beefy enough for the best players, yet it can be used by less experienced players as a utility disc. Even if you already throw a Zone, you’ll find shots that will call for the OS.

Check out the Zone HERE

Latitude 64 Pure

The Pure is an easily shapable putter that many people use as an approach disc. It will hold it’s line on an anhyzer shot, straight shot, or even a hyzer shot, without big skips or massive fades.

Check out the Pure HERE

Discmania P2

The P2 is known for its versatility, especially in different plastics. S-Line P2s are more overstable and great for driving, while D-Line P2s beat in to give a straight, floaty flight. Whether you want a disc that can hold an anhyzer or one that fights back for a hyzer finish, the P2 delivers.

Check out the P2 HERE

The Axiom Envy

The Envy has been a staple in the approach game for years, and it’s no surprise it still ranks among the best. Known for its versatility, the Envy can handle smooth hyzers, straight shots, and even turnovers when beaten in. The popularity of James Conrad’s legendary “Holy Shot” at the 2021 World Championship only boosted its fanbase. Available in a wide range of plastics and colors, the Envy is a must-try for any disc golfer.

Check out the Envy HERE

Celebrate Earth Day With Eco-Friendly Discs On Sale!

Disc golf is a sport that naturally brings us closer to nature. Whether you’re hiking up a wooded fairway, launching a drive across a valley, or just enjoying the sound of chains echoing through the trees, it’s easy to appreciate the great outdoors when you’re out on the course. So it only makes sense that disc golfers want to protect those places we play.

With Earth Day here, there’s no better time to spotlight the disc golf brands that are stepping up for sustainability. More and more manufacturers are turning to recycled materials, earth-friendly plastics, and greener production practices to reduce their environmental impact. And the best part? These discs aren’t just Eco-conscious. They fly just as well as their standard counterparts.

If you’re looking to go a little greener with your gear, here’s a closer look at the companies making it easier to throw responsibly.

Latitude 64

Let’s start with Latitude 64, a disc golf brand based out of Sweden. They’ve introduced a Recycled Line that reuses leftover materials from their regular production runs. These plastics come from misprints, factory seconds, or excess plastic that would otherwise be scrapped.

The result? Durable, great-feeling discs that come in unique, swirly colors due to the mixed plastic. These aren’t your average “Eco” discs. They perform like premium plastic, with a softer feel and slightly more grip. Some players even prefer it!

Popular molds in the Recycled Line include beginner favorites like the Diamond and Pure, making it easy for new players to get started with Eco-friendly plastic.

Bonus points:Latitude 64’s factory runs on 100% renewable energy.

Check out Latitude 64 molds HERE

Dynamic Discs & Westside Discs

Latitude 64’s sustainability efforts don’t stop at their own brand—they extend to their Trilogy partners: Dynamic Discs and Westside Discs. All three brands share production facilities, which means they also share recycled plastic initiatives.

Dynamic Discs offers BioFuzion plastic, a recycled blend made from Fuzion plastic remnants. Similarly, Westside Discs has Tournament Recycled, which does the same with their premium Tournament blend.

These plastics tend to be slightly more understable than the originals, which is actually a plus for many players, especially those still dialing in their form. BioFuzion and Tournament Recycled discs offer high performance, distinctive looks, and a smaller environmental footprint.

Infinite Discs

The Infinite Discs I-Blend plastic is made from recycled plastics, and it feels amazing! By using recycled plastics, the amount of virgin plastic used is greatly reduced. That reduces the environmental impact associated with manufacturing. Most Infinite molds can be found in I-Blend plastic.

Check out Infinite molds HERE

Discraft

Discraft has been making moves to become more sustainable as well. One of their key initiatives is the use of Recycled ESP plastic. ESP is a blend made by reprocessing scraps and leftover materials from their ESP line.

Discraft’s recycled runs are typically limited releases, so they don’t always stay in stock for long. But when they do pop up, they’re a great way to get a premium feel with a lighter environmental load.

In addition to their plastics, Discraft focuses on reducing waste throughout their manufacturing process. They’ve put a strong emphasis on operational efficiency, minimizing scrap, and repurposing unused materials.

See our Discraft molds HERE

MVP Disc Sports

When it comes to eye-catching design, MVP Disc Sports has always done things a little differently. That creativity extends to their sustainability game, too. Their R2 Neutron plastic line is made from recycled materials, collected from their own production waste.

R2 discs are easy to spot—featuring a sleek black core with white rims. They look sharp, feel fantastic, and fly true. The plastic is soft and grippy, making it a solid choice for putting and approach discs in particular.

Current molds available in R2 Neutron include popular putters like the Envy, Atom, and Nomad. These are all excellent choices if you want to build an Eco-friendly short game.

MVP also owns Axiom and Streamline Discs, and while R2 is currently limited to select molds, it shows their commitment to building sustainable options into their product line.

Trash Panda Disc Golf

No discussion about Eco-friendly discs would be complete without mentioning Trash Panda Disc Golf! Jesse from Trash Panda started the brand with the goal of making discs completely from recycled plastic. It took a few years to reach the point where he could do it at scale, but he has achieved that goal!

In addition to making and selling tons of discs made from recycled plastic, he also accepts tons (literally) of used discs to grind up and make into new discs! How cool is that! According to the Trash Panda website, they have recycled over 30,000 pounds of plastic. Every facet of their business is about sustainability.

See this Infinite interview with Jesse that occurred while he was still working in his garage, HERE

Clash Discs

The normal plastic manufacturing process involves the use of petroleum, so Clash Discs came up with an Eco-friendlier alternative. They use plant-based oils to manufacture their Planty line of discs. The discs are still durable and will not biodegrade. The feel of the novel material is similar to Clash’s Steady plastic.

See the line-up of Clash molds HERE

Bernoulli Disc Golf

Bernoulli chooses to combine sustainability with innovation. They look for ways to use recycled plastic and plant-based plastics. Not only is some of the material used in Bernoulli discs plant-based, it also biodegrades! They’ve even found ways to incorporate wood into their plastics.

Check out Bernoulli discs HERE

Eurodisc Disc Golf

Another brand focusing on sustainability and organic plastic is the German Brand, Eurodisc. They make petroleum-free, 100% recyclable plastics that are produced completely using green power. Their organic discs are sturdy and durable, and recyclable!

Check out their line of discs HERE

Doomsday Discs

Even Doomsday Discs, the brand that embraces the inevitable apocalypse, has a plastic that is earth friendly. Their Landfill plastic is made from recycled premium plastics. It costs a little less than premium, but still feels and flies like the best plastics. Landfill plastics won’t prevent the end of the world. But it will make the planet a little cleaner!

Check out our line of Doomsday molds HERE

Ocean Discs

What sets Ocean Discs apart from other brands is their commitment to the planet by makes discs from plastic that was removed from the ocean. Their Ocean Waste plastic lines get 60% of their plastic from waste recovered from the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, they donate a percentage of every disc sold to the Marine Conservation Society. That is a win-win for the ocean!

Check out the complete line of Ocean Waste plastics HERE

Aerobees

The French company Aerobees has a completely biosourced plastic that is aptly named ‘Biosourced’. It is an organic blend material that is made from wheat, corn, and oyster shells. It is all-natural, biodegradable, and renewable. Biosourced plastic feels like regular plastic, and it’s easy on the earth.

Check out the Aerobees Orsus midrange HERE

Other Eco-Conscious Practices

While not every disc is made from recycled plastic, several brands are making progress in other areas of sustainability. For example:

Innova has explored Eco-friendly packaging and has made efforts to reduce energy consumption in their manufacturing process.
Many smaller brands and custom disc dyers are starting to use water-based dyes or biodegradable packaging to reduce their impact.
A few disc golf bag manufacturers are beginning to use recycled fabrics and materials in their products, too. That’s something to keep an eye on!

Shopping Green: Tips for Eco-Friendly Disc Buying

So, how can you be a more environmentally conscious disc golfer? Here are a few simple tips:

Look for recycled plastic labels like R2 Neutron, BioFuzion, I-Blend, Recycled Line, or Recycled ESP.
Buy factory seconds or misprints. Not only are they often cheaper, but they help reduce waste.
Check packaging. Some retailers use Eco-friendly shipping materials—bonus points for compostable mailers or recycled boxes.

Final Thoughts

Disc golf is a game that frequently takes place at a variety of landscapes, parks, and green spaces. Supporting brands that are working to reduce their environmental impact is one small way we can all give back to the sport, and the planet, that gives us so much.

So whether you’re buying your first disc or restocking for tournament season, take a second to see if there’s a recycled or earth-friendly option available. The discs fly great, they look cool, and they might just help keep your favorite course looking great for generations of players to come.

This Earth Day, let’s throw a little greener and play a little cleaner. Use discount code EARTH to save 15% on Earth-Friendly plastics through 4/23. Happy hucking, and happy Earth Day!

Clash Discs’ Planty Plastic

April 18, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Planty: Clash Discs’ Eco-Friendly Plastic

There’s a disc golf plastic that you might have heard about, and it didn’t come from a barrel of crude oil. Clash Discs has developed Planty, an environmentally responsible material that blends high performance with bio-based innovation. If you’ve ever wished your favorite disc was just a little kinder to the planet—well, you’re in luck.

Exactly What Is Planty?

Planty is Clash’s bioplastic designed specifically for disc golf. Unlike traditional plastics made primarily from petroleum, Planty is derived from plant-based oils. That’s right—this plastic starts in the soil, not in a refinery.

Planty isn’t biodegradable, and that’s a good thing. Biodegradable materials tend to break down too easily, and nobody wants a driver that starts composting halfway through a tournament. Instead, Planty offers the long-lasting toughness you’d expect from any disc golf plastic, with the added bonus of being made from renewable resources.

How Does It Feel?

If you’ve thrown Clash’s Steady plastic before, you already have a good idea of what to expect. Planty closely mirrors Steady’s trusted performance profile, with excellent grip, reliable durability, and just the right touch of flexibility. It is an opaque plastic, somewhat similar to Star plastic.

A Step Toward the Future

Clash has always had an eye on innovation. From unique disc names to different blends of plastic, they’ve never been afraid to try something new. With Planty, they’re taking a bold step toward sustainability without sacrificing performance.

According to Clash, they’ve explored everything from wood fiber to cellulose to get here. After years of testing and tweaking, Planty emerged as the front-runner. It is a modern take on an old material, and it’s ready to take on the demands of the game, and help lead disc golf toward a greener future.

Ready to Go Green?

If you’re the kind of player who appreciates both clean lines and a cleaner world, Planty might just be your new favorite plastic. Head to Infinite Discs to see available molds, and find out what this eco-minded material can do.

Stop Losing Discs!

April 9, 2025 Ted Hegemann 6 comments

It’s spring time here in northern Utah and the snow levels on the mountains are rising with the temperatures. The warmer weather mean more opportunities for hucking discs. It also means more lost discs. Although I can’t guarantee you’ll stop losing discs in this blog, I’ll give you a couple tips to improve your odds of getting lost discs back.

Regardless of your skill level, if you play enough disc golf you will end up losing a disc (or two. Or ten) Whether the disc ends up in some bushes, a body of water, or even deep snow, many of us end up walking away from a disc on a course. What can we do to improve our chances of getting our disc back?

While there are a few disc golfers, who live by the motto, “Finders, Keepers”, there are many more who will attempt to get the disc back to its original owner. Some of those people will only make the attempt if there is contact information on the disc (as opposed to posting a picture on a local Facebook page.) That leads us to the first tip.

Write Your Contact Info on Your Discs

This simple task of writing your name or some contact information greatly improves your chances of getting your disc back if it gets lost. If you are not comfortable writing your name and/or phone number, consider using an email address. You could also get a Google Voice phone number (which is what I do) that you use exclusively for this purpose, and put that on your disc. Whatever method you use, giving people a way to contact you might make the difference between getting your disc back or not.

Check Your Penmanship

It is frustrating to me when I find a disc that has a number on it, but can’t read the digits. Is that a six, or an eight, or maybe a zero? I don’t want to text a bunch of wrong numbers in my quest to return your disc to you. If you don’t have the most legible penmanship, ask someone else to write your info on your disc. Another convenient option is to buy a rubber stamp with your info on it. Then you can quickly stamp your discs with clear information.

Refresh and Update

Even if you diligently write your contact info on your disc, it will fade over time. That phone number you wrote last year might not be visible, and lead to people having to decipher what your digits are. Take the time at the beginning of the season to check your go-to discs to see how the ink is holding up. You’ll save a disc finder from having to do detective work.

Many people change their phone number when they get a new phone. If you do, remember to update your discs with your new number. It’s a bummer for me to attempt to return a disc with a number on it, only to get the message that a number is no longer in service. Or to have someone reply that it isn’t their disc.

Bye-Bye Bag

Every year, without fail, I see a Facebook post from a disc golfer saying their entire bag got stolen out of their car. Many times, their fellow club members will offer replacement discs, which is good to see. However, avoiding the theft in the first place would be preferable.

By not storing your disc in your car, you reduce the opportunities that a thief has to take your stuff. A lot of people keep their bag in their car all the time, for convenience. If that is the case, lock it in your trunk. If it isn’t visible, it will be less of a temptation for an opportunistic bad guy. Someone could still break into a locked trunk, or even your house, but they are less likely to go to that length for a bag and some plastic.

Keep Your Discs!

After a recent local tournament and league, I found 38 discs in or around a river that runs through the course. I was able to contact the owners of 28 of the discs from the phone numbers on the discs. Those are good stats, in my opinion. And they were made possible because people took the time to write their contact info on their discs. (Another seven got claimed after I posted a picture of the discs on our club Facebook page.) Increase the odds that YOU get your disc back by writing your contact info on your discs!

If you need to replace a lost disc, I know a good place to shop for a new one!

Laws Regarding Found Property

On a side note, I’ve seen a lot of debate about whether or not people make an effort to return discs that they find. Some people, as mentioned above, believe in ‘Finders, Keepers’. Others will make an effort to locate the owners. What are the legal ramifications of keeping a disc?

In Utah and some of the surrounding states, the law requires you to either notify or surrender the disc to law enforcement or a government entity. In the entire history of disc golf, I doubt this has ever happened. (Idaho law states that the item must be over $100 in value, which excludes most discs.) It may be a requirement to surrender a found disc, but those are laws with very little teeth.

Discount Code For Finish Line Discs

March 28, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Years ago, professional disc golfer Drew Gibson had a vision for a disc golf brand. He wanted to start a company whose mission was to offer a variety of high-quality discs at reasonable prices. In 2021, that dream became a reality with the creation of Finish Line Discs.

Finish Line had their first mold approved by the PDGA in January, 2022. The inaugural mold for the new brand was the Era, a control driver with a fairly neutral flight. Since then, Finish Line has added putters, mids, distance drivers, and a couple more control drivers

The Finish Line name, along with the names of its disc molds, clearly reflects a racing and race car-inspired theme. Molds like Chicane, Interval, and Sector are all tied to race track concepts, while Daytona unmistakably highlights the brand’s connection to racing.

Infinite Discs has the best selection of Finish Line Discs, and for a few days you can take 20% off our already low prices by using the discount code, Finish20. The code will be good from now until Tuesday. Check out all of the Finish Line molds HERE, then enter the code Finish20 when you check out.

Introducing Infinite Discs’ Nathan Queen

March 26, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?

Although Nathan calls Kernersville, North Carolina home, his trailer is his home when he on the road as a touring professional.

Can you tell us about your family?

His dad, Russell, also lives in Kernersville. He has a sister, Jenifer, who manages to travel even more he does. She has traveled around the world and loves to go on long hikes.

How and when did you start playing disc golf?

Nathan first heard about disc golf as an early teen, at Carolina Bible Camp in Moxville, North Carolina, around 2003. His interests at the time were baseball and motocross, and only playing disc golf occasionally. However, when he moved to New Bern, North Carolina, in 2013, he started playing more.

When he arrived at New Bern there was a doubles tournament going on, which he had never played before. He decided to give it a try, and has been playing ever since.

When did you start playing professionally?

After playing regularly in 2013, he registered as a pro in 2014. He started touring in 2019.

What is the highlight of your disc golf career so far?

In 2021, Nathan put on a spectacular performance at the Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship, winning the tournament and gaining many fans. To take down the victory, he had to out-duel some of the top names in the sport: Drew Gibson, Paul McBeth, Adam Hammes and Gannon Buhr. The win earned Nathan $30,000, which was the largest payout in disc golf history up to that point. (Video of the final round of the tournament can be found on YouTube HERE.)

Nathan and his dog, Sadie

How did it feel the first time you took cash in a tournament?

Nathan said he was happy the first time he took cash in a tournament. He had been playing to have fun, so getting cash was a nice bonus! Getting paid meant that he was good enough to compete and win at a professional level, which was very satisfying.

Who are some of the disc golfers (or other people) that you look up to, or who influenced you in your career?

Living in North Carolina, Nathan got to play with and play against Brian Schweberger and Barry Schultz regularly. Nathan learned a lot by playing with them.

What are your disc golf goals for this year? How much will you compete?

Nathan will be striving for consistent play this year, and to have fun. He came back from an injury which made playing well a little more difficult. Now his goal is to play to the standards that he knows he can achieve.

This year means more traveling for Nathan. He will be following the Tour, except for the western swing and Europe. However, he will still be playing various A-tiers for those weeks

What is your diet and training like? Are you strict about staying in shape for disc golf?

Although he hasn’t been super strict about his diet, he has been doing better at eating well. His girlfriend, FPO player Rebecca Cox, has been making home-cooked meals, which helps them both eat better.

Nathan, Rebecca, and Sadie

What do you think disc golf will look like in 5 years (competition, contracts, growth)

Nathan believes that competition will has improved more recently because people have been starting to play younger. He thinks that trend will continue. If more young players keep turning pro, Nathan hopes it might draw attract new and larger sponsors, and lead to bigger tournaments for the pros.

What Infinite Discs molds have you thrown? What are some of your favorites?

The Infinite Discs Alpaca has been a favorite of Nathan’s since they came out. He also throws a Centurion and a Czar. He really likes how the Czar handles the wind and has a consistent fade. It is one of his top discs.

Any shout-outs or any closing comments for your fans?

Nathan really appreciates his sponsors, Infinite Discs, Dark Ace Disc Golf, Local Line Apparel, Fossa Disc Golf, and FlighTowel. He really appreciates all of his fans who show him support. It was a great experience to have people reach out during WACO (which Nathan had recently played) to let him know they enjoy seeing him on coverage of the tournament.

Introducing Infinite Discs’ Joel Freeman

March 24, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?

I grew up in Loveland, CO. I now live nearby, in Greeley, CO.

Can you tell us about your family?

I grew up alongside two brothers and two sisters. We were raised by a pair of wonderful parents. My parents were artists, by trade. This meant that we grew up in a creative environment. We never had enough money either, so the blessing in disguise was that it drove us toward gratitude, resourcefulness, and one another. We were an art and music family, rather than a sports family. This makes the fact that I went on to be a professional athlete quite ironic.

How and when did you start playing disc golf?

It was 2011 when my high school friend, Connor, approached me and asked if I had ever head of disc golf. Neither of us had ever played, but we both thought it sounded like a lot of fun. We visited the nearest disc golf shop(the iconic “Wright Life”), bought the fastest discs we could find, and played almost every single day that summer.

When did you start playing professionally?

I played my first tournament in October 2014. I signed up for MPO and shot my first ever rated round at a 1024. It was 2016 when I began treating disc golf as my main source of income and it was 2018 when I went on tour and played as a full-time professional.

What is the highlight of your disc golf career so far?

The biggest highlight of my career would have to be when I shot 14 under par in the final round of the 2022 Butler County Classic. That round is considered by many to be one of the greatest rounds of disc golf ever played. That was an amazing experience.

How did it feel the first time you took cash in a tournament?

I paid money to register for it, so I was glad to make money instead of lose it.

Who are some of the disc golfers (or other people) that you look up to, or who influenced you in your career?

Joe Rovere, Ricky Wysocki, Paul McBeth, Eagle McMahon, and Isaac Robinson. The excellence that these guys all strive for in their own way is inspiring and pushes all of us to be better.

What are your disc golf goals for this year? How much will you compete?

I’d like to win an event at the top level and I’d also like to see my rating reach an all-time high. I plan on playing 25-30 events this season.

What is your diet and training like? Are you strict about staying in shape for disc golf?

My diet is probably better than anyone’s on the Disc Gold Pro Tour. My workout regiment is not the most rigorous, but it is a high priority for me to stay in shape whether it’s for disc golf or just to maintain a higher quality of life. I do workout consistently year round.

What do you think disc golf will look like in 5 years (competition, contracts, growth)

The biggest growth I’ve seen in the sport lately is in the competition. The talent and skill is growing faster than the contracts or payouts right now. I think there will be more and more close finishes. I think the fan experience will get better and better. I think the player experience might get worse before it gets better.

What Infinite Discs molds have you thrown? What are some of your favorites?

I’ve thrown just about all of them. My favorites are the Emperor, Roman, Scepter, Pharaoh, Chariot, and Sphinx.

Any shout-outs or any closing comments for your fans?

I just want to say that I’ve got a great team behind me. I have them and God to thank for my successes in this sport. I’m so thankful for all of it. I urge everyone to go support Infinite, FlyGreen Disc Golf, and Pound! Thank you all for taking the time to read and show your support!
