Introducing the Infinite Discs Artifact

Infinite Discs just rolled out a new putter, and this is one you’re going to want to check out! The Artifact is the latest mold from Infinite, and it is available in durable C-Blend plastic. It is a stable-to-understable beadless putter that flies straight and settles nicely without a skip. Its flight numbers are 2, 3, -1, 0.

A blue C-Blend Infinite Discs Artifact disc golf disc

I think it has a little more glide than the flight numbers indicate, but the rest seem to be spot-on. When throwing from the tee, or an approach shot, the Artifact typically flies straight. Throwing with a little more power, it has a hint of turn during the flight. That turn is easily controlled with a little hyzer angle.

If you’re using the Artifact for putting, it feels good in the hand and has a clean release. I prefer a different plastic for my putter, but it still feels great. Someone could comfortably use the artifact for a putting putter, as well as an approach disc.

Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer

Hyzerline Training Tool

I’ve always been a proponent of having a disc golf basket for anyone who wants to improve their putting game. A convenient tool that allows you to practice regularly will lead to more confident and consistent putting during competition. When I was putting daily, I felt the most confident in my overall game.

But what about driving?

Field work is a great way to get in your reps and make adjustments to your form. However, it’s not without its drawbacks. First, you need space to throw. Unless you live next to a park or school, it may take time, and possible a long drive, to get to a good practice spot.

Second, once you throw, you have to go find and gather your discs, which can cut into your actual practice time.

Fortunately, there’s another option.

Hyzerline Disc Golf is a company that’s created a product to help you practice full-power shots from the comfort of your own backyard. It’s called the Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer.

The Hyzerline consists of a fairway driver attached to a braking line, with a small parachute at the other end that acts as a braking system. When you throw the disc (even at full power) the parachute slows it down and prevents it from flying too far. That means you can throw at any speed, even if you only have a small area to warm up.

Not only does the Hyzerline give you the freedom to throw at top speed, it also gives you feedback from each shot. The disc stays aloft long enough for you to see the nose angle, hyzer/anhyzer angle, and the direction you’re throwing. Then the braking system stops the disc, and you’re ready to pick it up for the next throw.

How to Use the Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer

To use the Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer, uncoil the rope and set the parachute a little in front of, and slightly off to the side of, your throwing line. Then throw the disc as hard as you want. The trainer will take care of the rest.

If you have room for a longer flight path, you can place the parachute farther away to give the disc more time in the air. If that still isn’t enough, the Hyzerline includes a longer rope you can swap in for extended range.

To store the trainer, wrap the string around your pinky and thumb, crossing the loops over one another (see picture). Slide the coiled string off your fingers, and place it, along with the disc and parachute, into the included storage bag.

Since the entire setup is no bigger than a regular disc, you can even store it in your bag. It’s a great option if you want to warm up with some full-power throws before a round. Just uncoil the string and let ’er rip.

Straightest Flying Disc Golf Discs

As you stare down the narrow tree-lined fairway, you consider which disc you should be throwing. You need to go a long way down the fairway, without going too far left or right. Too understable and you kick to the right. Too overstable and you’ll fade too early into the trees. What disc do you choose?

Since course designers try to make us throw a variety of shapes, we need a variety of discs. Discs that can turn or fade the way we want help us navigate the obstacles on the course. However, some holes require a straight shot.

In this blog we’ll talk about straightest flying disc golf discs. We’ll discuss when to use them and which ones you can check out if you’re in the market for a straight-flying disc.

What Does ‘Straight-Flying’ Really Mean?

misc disc golf flight chart

The simple definition of a straight-flying disc is that it doesn’t turn much to the right (RHBH throw) during the fastest part of the flight, and doesn’t fade hard to the left as is slows down. It is the flight you would want to get when faced with a scenario mentioned in the first paragraph.

There is one method of throwing that achieves that desired flight, but includes a decent amount of turn. You might have heard the term ‘flip to flat’. That is where you throw a slightly understable disc, but throw it on a hyzer angle. That way instead of turning to the right, the disc rolls until it is flat, then it holds that straight, flat flight until it starts to slow down.

Why Straight Discs Matter

Straight-flying discs are essential on wooded courses. Although many wooded holes will still require some shot-shaping, there are always times when you just need to keep a straight flight.

In addition to the shots that you just need to go straight, having a straight disc will also help you shape your shots and hit your lines. A straight-flying disc will hold the angle you put it on longer than more overstable or understable molds.

Straight-Flying Putters

A straight-flying putter is one that you can drive or approach with, that is a slower speed and a neutral flight. It won’t have much turn, nor much fade, and it will sit where it lands without skipping.

Here are some examples of some of the most popular straight-flying molds.

Innova Aviar 2, 3, 0, 1

Innova Aviar disc

The Aviar is a classic mold from Innova. It has been a popular disc for decades.

Dynamic Discs Warden 2, 4, 0, .5

Latitude 64 Pure 3, 3, -1, 1

Peach colored Latitude 64 Pure with gold stamp

The Pure has a little more turn and fade than other molds on the list. If you can control those, you’ll love how far and straight you can throw a Pure.

Best Straight-Flying Midranges

A midrange with a neutral flight is one of the best discs for shaping shots. If you need a straight flight down a narrow fairway, reach for a straight mid. Need to hold a hyzer/anhyzer? Grab one of the discs below and you’re set.

Discraft Buzzz 5, 4, -1, 1

Discraft Buzzz disc golf disc, red with white stamp

One of the most popular mid’s in the world, the Buzzz can be thrown hard and will still fly straight. It is available in nearly all Discraft plastic types.

Latitude 64 Fuse 5, 6, -1, 0

Latitude 64 Fuse disc golf disc

Slightly larger than the average disc, the Fuse will hold a line well and have minimal fade.

Best Straight-Flying Fairway Drivers

For longer shots that still need to go straight, a fairway driver would be your best bet. They can be throw flat or at a slight hyzer to achieve a hyzer-flip. With a minimal fade at the end, these molds won’t get a big skip like faster discs.

Dynamic Discs Breakout 8, 5, -1, 1

dynamic discs breakout disc golf disc

Described as a slightly understable Escape, the Breakout will fly straight, without sacrificing distance.

Tips for Throwing a Disc Straight

Keep the disc flat, or at a slight hyzer angle for flippier molds, when you release the disc. You may need to slow down your throw so you don’t overpower the disc and turn it over. Get a couple straight molds to practice throwing straight shots, and shaped shots.

Final Thoughts

Most courses have holes that make a long, straight throw necessary. By having a few molds in your bag that fly straight, you’ll be able to attack those holes with confidence. Check out some of the molds listed and spend time practicing with them. You’ll improve your chances of hitting narrow fairways. You’ll also be able to shape your shots for those tricky fairways. Those skills will help shave strokes off your score!

Discraft Mega Glow Zone

A disc golf basket lit up for a night round

If you’ve never played a round of disc golf in the dark, you are truly missing out on a fun time! Glow rounds are something different and unique. Watching a glow disc sail through the night air takes disc golf to another level. Seriously, see if your local club has a glow round scheduled. Or just get with some buddies and plan one of your own.

When playing a night round, you’ll need a way to see your discs so you can find them. There are lights that you can attach to your disc. Or, you can get discs made of glow plastic. Shine a UV flashlight on the glow disc, then let ‘er fly!

Good Glow Plastic

There is one thing about glow plastic that you need to know: not all glow discs glow with the same intensity or duration. Fortunately, at least one manufacturer put in the effort to create a glow plastic that rises above the fray. Discraft developed their Mega Glow plastic, and it does not disappoint!

Mega Glow plastic from Discraft shines bright and lasts a long time. That comes in handy because there is nothing worse that having a glow disc lose its glow before you can find it. With Mega Glow, that won’t be an issue.

Mega Glow Zone

In addition to having good glow plastic, it’s also important to get the discs you like to throw that are made in glow plastic. Infinite Discs partnered with Discraft to bring you one of the most popular driving putters on the planet in Mega Glow plastic: the Zone.

Discraft Mega Glow Zone

The Discraft Zone is now available in the amazing Mega Glow plastic. Infinite only has a limited number of Zones available with this Sample Run in Mega Glow plastic. Get your Zone while they are still available, then plan a night round at your favorite course!

How To Charge

Note: Mega Glow plastic reacts amazingly well with UV flashlights. Simply charge your Zone by shining a UV light for just a couple seconds. You’ll be amazed at how bright it glows and how long it lasts with just a quick charge.

How TSA Started

Thought Space Athletics (TSA) is a disc golf brand synonymous with creativity, flair, and cool stamps. Their stamps are nothing short of works of art. However, they didn’t start out selling discs.

TSA dipped its toes in the disc golf world over a decade ago, when founder Aaron Wilmot observed a lack of high-quality, well-designed apparel for disc golfers. He set out to become a brand know for comfort, quality, and amazing designs.

A thought space athletics Synapse disc golf disc

Adding Plastic

After achieving that goal, and making a name for TSA, they decided to make a move to also become a disc golf manufacturer. They took their high standards for quality, and their amazing creativity with them as they began their journey toward producing their own discs.

 

In 2019, the first mold from TSA was approved by the PDGA, the Mantra. The slightly understable control driver has been a popular mold ever since. Following the Mantra, TSA has been regularly releasing new molds, including drivers, mids, and putters. They have such a variety of discs that you could build an all-TSA bag!

MVP New Releases

MVP logo with with the words NEW RELEASES

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

The MVP Trail disc golf disc

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

The MVP Plasma Dimension disc golf disc

14.5, 5, 0, 3

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.

Eclipse Insanity

Axiom Eclipse Insanity disc golf disc

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.

Best Disc Golf Approach Discs

pile of approach putter disc golf discs

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.

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

Blue Innova Gator disc golf disc. 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

Purple Dynamic Discs Lucid Justice disc golf disc

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

A black Innova Aviar with a white stamp

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

Peach colored Latitude 64 Pure with gold stamp

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

blue discmania p2 disc golf disc

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

An Axiom Envy in burst colors. Yellow rim and a black stamp disc golf disc

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.
