Brixton Disc Golf Collector Cards

September 24, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

When I was younger, a couple of my buddies and I got into baseball card collecting. There is something exciting about ripping open a fresh pack of trading cards. The suspense, the hope for a rare pull, and the celebration when you finally score one all add to the fun.

Disc golf trading cards capture that same thrill. They combine the joy of collecting with the excitement of chasing cards that feature the players we cheer for. Every pack holds potential. And when it comes to disc golf trading cards, the go-to source is Brixton.

Brixton Beginnings

Brixton began in December 2022 as a small Twitter account run by a couple of disc golf card enthusiasts. At first, they simply posted card photos and eBay auctions. They liked the idea of creating their own card company, but did not know how to make it happen. Then they connected with OTB Discs.

With guidance and support from OTB, or Only The Best Discs, Brixton Disc Golf Cards became a reality. Their very first release exceeded expectations and they have continued producing high quality disc golf cards every year since.

If you have never heard of disc golf trading cards, you are not alone. Brixton still hears from people every day who are surprised the product even exists. Only a handful of sports card companies have ever tried disc golf cards and only a few players have been featured. Brixton is different because they are dedicated entirely to the disc golf card experience.

Their sets and packs highlight all of the touring pros. The Disc Golf Pro Tour has also released its own cards over the years, but Brixton’s entire focus is giving collectors high quality disc golf cards.

Collecting Disc Golf Cards

Collectors enjoy the hobby in different ways. Some try to build a complete set. Others chase every card of their favorite players. Many look for cards they can have signed in person. Whatever the goal, Brixton works hard to make sure the experience is enjoyable.

Collecting also helps the players. Brixton donates half of its profits back to the pros who appear on the cards. That means all 184 players receive a share.

Brixton’s 2025 Base Set

The 2025 base set includes all 184 players. Each card features a player photo with a paint splatter background. You can buy the complete set or build it pack by pack through ten card packs.

Buying the full set comes with a bonus called The Grind set. This is a 25-card subset that showcases the best players in the sport. The only way to get The Grind is to purchase the full base set.

For those who like to build a set pack by pack, there are also individual packs. These 10-card packs include 5 base set cards and five Parallel Universe cards. Parallel cards are alternate versions of the base cards with different backgrounds. Some parallels are common and others are quite rare. The rarest is the Tour de Force card, which shows up only once in about 137 packs.

The Dejavu Set

Beyond the base set, The Grind, and the Parallels, there is also the Dejavu set. Each player receives 25 Dejavu cards to sell or give away directly. That makes them harder to track down and more personal because the only way to get one is through the players.

Picking Up Packs

You can purchase packs individually or in boxes of 20. Each pack includes five base cards and five Parallel cards. One of the Parallel cards will always have a Red background, so the odds of pulling Red are 1:1.

Other Parallels are more challenging to find. Some feature animal skin backgrounds. Some are numbered and show exactly how many were printed, with designs like Shattered Glass. Others are foil designs that stand out even more. The rarest foil, called Magma, appears in only about one out of 70 packs. And of course there is the Tour de Force card, the most difficult of all, at one in 137 packs.

In total, you would need 19 cards to complete a master set for any one player. There is the base set card, 17 Parallel cards (including the Tour de Force, and the Dejavu card. The Tour de Force and Dejavu cards will be the hardest to acquire.

Creative Designs

A special shout out goes to Jason, one of Brixton’s founders, for his creativity in designing the cards. The artwork and variety of designs make collecting them even more fun.

An I-Blend Wraith?!

September 15, 2025 Ted Hegemann 6 comments

What do you get when you cross a popular high-speed driver with a popular, inexpensive plastic type? You get an I-Blend Wraith. Yep, Innova and Infinite teamed up to produce this unique combination. Now you can get one of the most popular molds on earth, in durable, grippy I-Blend plastic, at a cheaper price than most plastics.

What Is I-Blend Plastic?

I-Blend, or ‘Infinite-Blend’, is a blend of recycled S-Blend plastic. From the Infinite web site: “Infinite I-Blend is an affordable plastic blend with a great feel and incredible glide. This plastic has a slightly softer, grippier feel than S-Blend and is almost just as durable. If you’re looking for a premium feel at an affordable price, you’ll want Infinite Blend in your bag.”

Tell Me About The Wraith

The Wraith is celebrating its 20th birthday this year. It received its PDGA approval in 2005. It is pretty common to hear the Wraith described as a slightly slower Destroyer. Depending on your skill level, you might want to throw a Wraith as your distance driver.

Several Innova pros throw a Wraith, including Garrett Girthie, Philo Brathwaite, and Nate Sexton. The Wraith can also be thrown by amateurs and less skilled players.

The Innova Wraith in I-Blend plastic is a great combination of a popular disc and a premium plastic, at an inexpensive price. It will be available on September 16. Get yours while they last! If you like I-blend as much as I do, you’ll want to shop early to get the colors you want.

Overstable vs Understable

September 9, 2025 Ted Hegemann 8 comments

The flight of a disc is one of the most important factors we consider when buying a disc. The feel of the disc in our hand would be a close second. The color and stamp of a disc is very important for some, and down the list of priorities for the rest. How a disc actually flies for us tops the list of factors. A very important aspect of the flight of a disc is its stability. Let’s look at overstable vs understable, and learn the difference.

Disc Stability

The stability of a given disc is how the disc flies immediately out of our hand, and how it behaves as it slows down. We talked about those disc qualities in our blog about flight numbers, HERE. For this blog, we’ll explore the terms ‘overstable’, ‘stable’, and ‘understable’. We will also looks at the weakness in using those terms to describe the flight of a disc. So, let’s get right to it!

The terminology can be confusing. For the sake of this blog post, I’ll look at each of the three terms mentioned above and establish a definition for each of them, so we can be consistent in our description about the flight of the disc. I’ll start with the term ‘overstable’.

Overstable

Let’s define ‘overstable’ as a discs ability to resist turning during the first part of the flight, Overstable Flight Graph and its hard fade as the disc slows down. The ‘turn’ of a disc, for a right-hand back-hand throw (RHBH) is its movement to the right immediately after the disc is thrown. The ‘fade’ is its movement to the left as the disc slows down. As players improve their technique and skill, their ability to throw the disc at high speeds increases. As the speed of the throw increases, so does the need for more overstable discs to prevent the flight from turning too much.

Check out this list of the highest rated overstable disc golf discs.

Understable

Understable Flight Graph Now let’s consider the term ‘understable’. We consider a disc as being understable if it has a tendency drift to the right a significant amount immediately out of the hand. A disc that is very understable typically doesn’t have very much fade at the end. An understable disc is great for newer players who lack the arm speed to throw more overstable discs, since they can’t generate enough speed for the overstable discs to fly right. If the necessary speed can’t be achieved, nearly every disc becomes overstable to a beginner. Check out this list for the top understable disc golf discs.

One of the ways the manufacturers can offer more molds to beginners is to offer overstable molds in lighter weights. Due to the disc having less mass, newer players can use lighter discs as a cheat code, and still throw molds that would be too overstable in heavier weights.

Check out this list for the best very-understable disc golf discs for sale.

Stable

Now let’s talk about the term that has a little more flexible definition: ‘stable’. When people call a disc ‘stable’, they typically mean that the disc doesn’t have a lot of turn, nor does it fade hard. When I hear it in reference to another disc, it can either mean more overstable or more understable, depending on the situation. If you say that you are throwing a Slab (12, 3, 0, 4), but want something a little more stable, you are saying that you want a disc that is not so overstable.

If you are throwing a Kon Tiki (4, 5, -3, 0) and say you want something a little more stable, you mean that you want something that is less understable. Basically, in both examples you are saying that you want something that flies a little less extreme and a little closer to a neutral flight.

Occasionally, I’ll hear someone refer to a disc being more stable than another, when they mean more overstable. That is an inconsistent use of the term, and may lead to a follow-up question to clarify the meaning. To eliminate any ambiguity, you can simply refer to discs as being more or less overstable or understable.

These are the top rated stable flying drivers.

Flight Numbers

The flight numbers of a disc help us know the basic flight of a disc. Those numbers are fairly accurate if we can throw the disc at the proper speed. If we can throw a disc with sufficient speed, we can then look at the last two rating in the flight rating to determine the overstability or understability of a disc. Let’s look at some examples.

Disc Flight Number Examples

The Scepter and the Sphinx are speed nine discs from Infinite. The Scepter’s flight numbers are 9, 4, 0, 4. The ‘0, 4’ are the last two numbers, and tell you that this mold would resist turning, even at high speeds (the 0), and will finish strong to the left (the 4). It is an example of an overstable fairway driver.

The flight numbers for the Sphinx are 9, 6, -3, 1. The -3 is the amount of ‘turn’ that the Sphinx exhibits when thrown at the necessary speed. That means it will turn to the right quite a bit at high speeds. Add a little headwind into the situation and the Sphinx could end up as a roller. Plus, the last number, ‘1’, indicates that the Sphinx isn’t going to fade very much to the left. It is an understable fairway driver.

The more negative the turn number means the more turn to the right the disc will move during the high-speed portion of the flight. A disc with a -5 turn number will turn more to the right than one with a -1 turn number. Discs with a turn of 0 or positive 1 won’t turn to the right very much at all, and are great for headwind shots.

The ‘fade’ number tells you how much a disc will move to the left at the end of the flight. The higher the number, the more it will travel to the left as it slows down. In our examples above, the Scepter (fade number is 4) moves farther left than the Sphinx (fade number is 1).

Visualize Overstable/Understable/Stable

For many of us, understanding overstable vs. understable and comprehending the behavior of a disc just by reading a blog post can be challenging. If you’re a visual learner, this video will provide a clear demonstration of how Connor throws discs with various stabilities, showcasing their distinct flight patterns.

Conclusion

Knowing the stability of a disc helps up choose discs that work for our needs. We can get a general idea how the disc will fly, and can determine if it is something we are looking for. Keep in mind that the weight and plastic type also affect the stability of a disc. Check out Infinite’s flight ratings for each disc, for a more accurate depiction of a discs actual flight.

Best Disc Golf Discs For Beginners

September 1, 2025 Ted Hegemann One comment

What Beginners Should Know About Choosing Disc Golf Discs

If you’re new to disc golf, the number of disc options can feel overwhelming. There are flight numbers, plastic types, and weight, all influencing how a disc performs. That’s before you even consider what colors or stamps you want. This guide will simplify those factors so you can make an informed choice.

To an outsider, all discs might look the same. But in reality, some discs are tailored for beginner-friendly learning, while others are designed for experienced players. This post focuses on molds that support beginners in developing proper form and confidence.

Understanding Disc Flight Numbers

Disc golf uses a four-number flight rating system. While imperfect, it’s the most useful benchmark we have. Here is what each digit tells you and why it matters:

Speed: Indicates how fast you must throw the disc for it to fly correctly. High-speed discs must be thrown a lot faster than slower-speed discs. Attempting to throw high-speed discs without the proper skill can encourage poor form. Beginners should stick with speeds between 1 and 5. You can get slightly faster discs if you can find them in lighter weights (under 160g)
Glide: Describes how long the disc stays in the air. Higher glide numbers help beginners maximize distance with less power.
Turn: Measures how much the disc will veer to the right (for a right-handed, backhand player) when thrown with speed. Beginners benefit from discs with turn ratings between –1 and –4. If your disc starts turning too much early in flight, consider a faster or more stable mold.
Fade: Reflects how much the disc will curve to the left at the end of its flight. Lower fade values are easier for beginners to manage, since their throws tend to lack high velocity.

What About Disc Weight

Although the flight numbers on a disc might make it good or bad for beginners, the weight of a disc can also make a big difference. Lighter disc golf discs are often better for beginners because they require less power to throw effectively, making it easier to get more distance with less effort.

Heavier discs can be harder to control for new players since they require faster arm speed to achieve a full flight, often resulting in short or inaccurate throws. A lighter disc is also more forgiving, as it tends to glide longer and stay in the air, giving beginners more time to see how their throw affects the disc’s flight. This added distance and control can help new players build confidence while developing proper form.

With those tips in mind, let’s look at the best disc golf discs for beginners.

MVP Ohm The Ohm is a straight-flying, very glidey putter from MVP. Even though is has a high glide, it can comfortably be used as a putting putter. The mold is similar to the Streamline Pilot.
Discraft Archer A former Ace Race disc, the Archer is popular among beginners for is flippy flight, and more skilled players look for a disc that will hold a turn. It has a shallow feel to the rim.
Gateway Voodoo Another straight putter, the Gateway Voodoo has an interesting feel. It is soft and very grippy. The Voodoo comes in a variety of plastic types.
Innova TL3 Considered by Innova to be, “the evolution of the TL”, the TL3 is like a straighter TeeBird. It is also a great disc for newer players who want to take the next step and get a control driver.
Viking Axe The Axe is a domey midrange disc. It has little turn and fade. It’s great for accuracy and controlled shots.
Discraft Roach Another Ace Race disc, the Roach is a popular putter from Discraft. The beadless disc makes a great approach disc, and is perfect for smashing chains.
TSA Pathfinder The Pathfinder is a straight midrange disc from Thought Space Athletics. In addition to its shapable flight, since it is Thought Space, you know the stamp will be next level and the plastic will feel amazing!
Innova Cobra The Innova Cobra has been around longer than nearly all of the beginners who would throw it. It is a midrange that has a little more turn than other mids on the list, and a little more fade. That combination will give you more options for shaping your shot.
Yikun Yan With a little more glide than most mids, the Yan is a deep-rim, straight disc that will hold any line you put it on. It is a great choice for picking up some distance with little effort.
Viking Cosmos Another great option for beginners who want a disc with a little more distance potential is the Viking Cosmos. Its flight is just what a beginner will need to expanding their game.

If you look at each of the discs listed, you’ll find they all fit the description above of what makes a great beginner disc. None of them are high-speed discs. None of them have crazy fade. They are all stable to understable discs. They are just what you should look for as you start your disc golf Journey!

Big Sale For National Disc Golf Day

July 29, 2025 Ted Hegemann 3 comments

Did you know disc golf has its very own holiday? Yep, this Saturday is National Disc Golf Day. While you won’t get a day off with pay, you can celebrate with us by enjoying a sale on many different brands. More sale info below.

National Disc Golf Day

National Disc Golf Day started back in 2016 by two people passionate about disc golf. Jason Wilder was a PDGA state coordinator for Minnesota. He teamed up with Throw Pink co-founder Sara Nicholson to petition for the ‘holiday’. With input from disc golf legends Dan “Stork” Roddick, Jim Palmeri, and Tom Monroe, the group decided on the first Saturday in August as the day to celebrate and recognize disc golf.

There were a several reasons why the first Saturday was chosen. First, the American Flying Disc Open was held in August 1974. That was one of the first competitions in the U.S. First prize for the event was a new car, a 1974 Datsun B210.

The second reason August was chosen was because it was the month that “Steady” Ed Headrick patented the ‘Flying Disc Entrapment Device’, or disc golf basket, in 1977. It was a celebration of the month that gave us two important events in disc golf history.

How Does Someone Celebrate National Disc Golf Day?

There are several ways disc golfers can celebrate this fun day:

1 – Play disc golf! You could play in a tournament, get together with friends to play, or play a solo round. In other words, what you were probably going to do anyway!

2 – Grow the sport. Invite someone new to play with you. You might just end up with another disc golf buddy.

3 – Watch some disc golf. This year, National Disc Golf Day happens to fall during the World Championships. It’s a good excuse to kick back and watch the best disc golfers in the world (after you play a round or two yourself,)

4 – Pick up a new disc at a great price. Check out all of the brands we have on sale at Infinite. Here is a list of manufacturers that are included in the sale. Every disc from that brand will be on sale! These brands include Infinite Discs, Thought Space Athletics, Clash, Doomsday, Lone Star, Yikun, Viking, Finish Line, DGA, and Neptune.

The National Disc Golf Day sale continues through Monday, August 4.

How Will You Celebrate NDGD?

No matter how you choose to celebrate National Disc Golf Day, it’s all about appreciating the sport that we love. Whether you are playing, introducing a friend to disc golf, watching the top players compete, or shopping for a new disc for your bag, it’s the perfect day to enjoy disc golf. Have a great ‘holiday’ and be sure to take advantage of the sale prices at Infinite.
