Disc Golf Weight Explained – Choosing the Best Disc Weight

September 28, 2026 Todd Durrant 7 comments

Why Weight Matters in Disc Golf

When you shop for a new disc, you likely prioritize finding a weight range that you like. If a disc is too heavy for you, get the distance you want. Too light of a disc and it may be too flippy to be useful. The weight of a disc affects its speed, stability and the way it will fly. In this blog we will discuss how the weight of a disc affects the flight of the disc as well as your disc purchases.

Disc Speed and Distance

There is a solid relationship between how fast a disc is thrown to how far the disc will travel. The faster the throw, the greater the potential to get more distance. There is an exception to this ‘rule’, which we will talk about, but there is a good general relationship between speed and distance.

According to Best Disc Golf Discs’ YouTube Channel, for every mile per hour of disc speed, there is an average increase of about seven feet in distance. Theoretically, an easy way to get more arm speed is to throw a lighter disc. Research shows that throwing a lighter disc can lead to increase in throw speed. As an example, throwing a disc that is 20 grams lighter can result in an increase in speed of 6.5 MPH. That would mean an increase in distance of over 45 feet!

Light Discs = Big Distance

Moving beyond theory and into practice, we have a perfect example of using lighter discs to gain distance. In 2016, David Wiggins Jr threw an R-Pro Innova Boss 1,108.92 feet. According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the Boss weighed 154g. There was a ripping tailwind that contributed to Wiggins crushing the former record by a couple hundred feet.

The former distance record was set the day before by Simon Lizotte. Lizotte was the first person to throw a disc over 900 feet (903.9 feet). The disc he used was a 157g Innova Blizzard Boss. Although angle control and massive tailwinds played a part in both records, so did the lighter discs used.

Disc Stability Also Matters

We’ve established that lighter-weight discs can get you more speed and possibly more distance. Now let’s discuss the flight numbers of the disc and how weight affects those numbers, specifically the stability of the disc (the third and fourth numbers in the four number flight rating).

Because a lighter disc can be thrown faster, it has a tendency to turn to the right more at the fastest part of the throw. How much it turns depends on how fast you throw the disc and what speed rating the disc has.

If you are an advanced player that buys overstable discs that can handle your power, throwing lighter discs might give you nice S-turns that translates to longer throws. If you already throw molds that have a good amount of turn, lighter versions of those molds might be too flippy to handle.

If you are a newer player who struggles to throw 280 feet, lighter discs might be just what you need to get a good flight and break that 300-foot barrier.

Light Discs in the Wind

As a general rule, the lighter the disc, the more it will be affected by the wind. That isn’t always a bad thing. While a headwind will make a disc more flippy and prone to turn (maybe even too much turn), a tailwind will tone down the turn, and likely give you more distance (refer to the record-setting throws above).

Cross winds can also affect lighter discs more than heavier discs. They will either push a disc farther in the direction of the wind, or drop the disc faster, depending on the angle of the disc and the direction of the wind.

Choosing Your Disc Weights

The bottom line in selecting a disc is that it flies good for you at your skill level. If your discs are turning to much for you, you may need faster, heavier, or more overstable discs. If every disc you throw is a meat hook, look for slower, lighter, and more understable discs. Here are a few guidelines for disc selection:

Putter or Midrange Discs

Since putters and midrange discs are typically used for control shots rather than long distance, getting max weight is fine. They won’t be affected by the wind as much as lighter discs, which will help with accuracy. Midrange discs can also be heavier than max putters due to their larger diameter.

If you want a little more distance out of your putter or midrange, you could get a lighter disc. Many midrange discs and putters come in 160’s weight. Lighter discs make it easier to make take longer putts, although they would be affected by the wind a little more.

Fairway and Distance Drivers

The max weight for most fairway and distance drivers is 175g. The lightest discs can dip below 130g. The disc weight that would work best for you depends on your skill level and the flight you are looking for.

Newer Players

Newer players typically lack the skill to throw a driver very fast, which means it won’t go very far. Lighter discs are easier to get faster throws with, and should be the focus for beginners. Look for molds in the 150g range (or possibly even lighter discs), and ones that have a little more turn (-2 to -4). As your skills improve and you can throw faster, you will see more turn in your flights. That would be a good time to look for slightly heavier discs, say around 165-170g.

They would also have the option to look for molds with higher speeds with the same weight, which will mean they will turn less since they require a faster throw. The advantage of getting heavier disc at the lower speed is that the wind won’t affect it as much. A good way to save a few bucks while you are experimenting with discs is to look for sales, misprints, and factory seconds.

Advanced Players

More advanced players can throw faster speeds and often need max weight (and overstable) discs to keep the it from turning and crashing to the ground. Even so, they could still benefit from keeping a lighter driver in their bag for times when they are throwing in a tailwind or up a steep hill.

Many players will have several discs of same mold in their bag, all with different weights, plastic types, or levels of wear. Then they can get a variety of shot shapes with the same familiar feel of the disc.

Other Things That Affect Distance

In this discussion of the weight/distance relationship theory, we are assuming that all other variables that come into play are the same every throw, so we can isolate the role that weight plays. In practice, many other factors come into play when we throw. Grip, nose angle, wobble, and spin all affect the flight shape and distance of a disc. However, for this discussion we just wanted to focus on the role that weight plays in our throws, so we will imagine that everything else is perfect and consistent.

How Are the Weights Listed on a Disc?

Different brands indicate the weight of their discs in different ways. Some give the exact weight listed on their scale when they weigh them individually. This can be done with ink or with laser etching. Other brands just list a range of weights, even though they are still weighed individually. So, how does Infinite Discs approach the manufacturer’s declared weight?

Long ago, Infinite adopted a policy of trusting the manufacturer to put the correct weight (or weight range) on the disc. They have a vested interest in giving the most accurate weight as possible. Infinite simply lists what ever wight the manufacturer indicates on the disc. If there is a weight range on the disc (like Discraft does) we list the lowest weight in the range. If the manufacturer lists 173-175g on a disc, we go with 173g on our listing. We do that because our system doesn’t allow us to post a range.

We have considered weighing the discs and posting the weight by the picture of the disc, but there are drawbacks to that. Different scales sometimes give different readings for the same disc. Our scales might not agree the manufacturer’s scale, nor with a customer’s scale, which might result in some upset customers! Instead, we post the weight from the manufacturer.

What if We Post the Wrong Weight?

We try to be as accurate as possible when we post the weight of a disc. We even double check before we ship out discs to make sure the weight, color, and mold are the same as what is listed on our website. Even with those guardrails in place, we may end up mislabeling a disc weight. If that happens, we’re happy to help the best we can. Just know that we genuinely try our best to get the disc listed.

We hope that this information has been helpful in understand a little bit more about disc weights and how they affect flight. We hope you better understand how brands mark the weight of their discs, and how we at Infinite Discs work with those brands and trust in those manufacturers to indicate the weight of their discs so that our buyers can make an informed purchasing decision.

The Two-Meter Rule Explained

December 15, 2025 Ted Hegemann One comment

Disc golf has grown rapidly in popularity, and with that growth comes a closer look at the rules that shape competitive play. One rule stand out among all other rules because it is optional. That rule is the two-meter rule. While it may seem straightforward, its optional status and the way it impacts players make it one of the more controversial topics in disc golf today.

How the Two-Meter Rule Works

The two-meter rule applies when a disc comes to rest at least two meters above the in-bounds playing surface, most often stuck in a tree. If the rule is in effect, the player receives a one-stroke penalty and must mark their lie directly beneath the disc. The rule is listed under section 805.02 of the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) rulebook.

Importantly, this rule is not automatically enforced. Tournament directors decide whether it applies, and they may choose to enforce it across the entire course, on specific holes, or even on certain objects. If the disc is supported by the target basket, the rule does not apply.

Why Players Disagree About the Rule

Many disc golfers argue that the two-meter rule feels unfair because it punishes players twice. Not only is the disc stuck in a possibly undesirable position, but the player also receives a penalty stroke. Since disc golf already involves a degree of luck when discs hit trees, adding a penalty can feel excessive.

Another source of frustration is inconsistency. Because tournament directors have discretion, players may encounter the rule in one event but not in another. This lack of uniformity leads to confusion and debate about whether the rule should exist at all.

Measurement is also a sticking point. Determining whether a disc is truly two meters above the ground is often subjective, as few players carry measuring tools. This can spark disagreements among cardmates and slow down play.

Arguments in Favor of the Rule

Supporters of the two-meter rule believe it adds an element of risk management to the game. Players must weigh the decision to throw high shots in wooded areas, knowing that a disc stuck in a tree could cost them a stroke. In this way, the rule encourages smarter shot selection and rewards accuracy.

Additionally, the rule can prevent unsafe or impractical lies. Without it, players might attempt to climb trees or play from dangerous positions (I’ve seen that happen once. The disc wasn’t very high in the tree, and taking a lie in the tree gave them an advantage). By requiring the lie to be placed directly below the disc, the rule simplifies play and reduces risk.

The Future of the Two-Meter Rule

The PDGA currently lists the two-meter rule as optional, leaving the decision of whether or not to use it up to tournament directors. Some players hope for its removal from the rulebook entirely, while others believe it should be standardized across all events. Until a consensus is reached, the debate will continue, and players should always check with the tournament director before play begins.

Whether you love it or hate it, the two-meter rule is part of disc golf’s current rulebook. Understanding how it works and why it divides opinion will help you navigate tournaments more confidently and avoid unnecessary penalties.

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.

Beyond Plastic: Cultural Stories about Infinite Discs’ Discs

January 16, 2024 Tara Martin 14 comments

Beyond Plastic: Cultural Stories about Infinite Discs’ Discs

A prevalent trend among disc golf manufacturers and companies with their own line of discs is to adopt a naming system or thematic tone for their lineup. For example: Westside Discs molds are typically medieval-related names, Clash Discs name their molds after different food flavors/spices, and MVP uses electrical-related titles.

We (Infinite Discs) have chosen to use various ancient cultures from around the world to name our discs. This post is going to break down the various cultural names we use as inspiration, we will look at stamp artwork that reflects these cultures, and we will discuss what cultures we look forward to using in the future.

Starting at the beginning, the very first mold in the Infinite Discs lineup was named the Exodus and was first run in S-Blend plastic back in 2018. The word Exodus means an extensive departure of a people from one area to another. One of the most famous and well-known historical exoduses is the departure of the Israelites from Egypt to the “Promised Land.” This name was decided after we chose to focus on ancient Egyptian culture to name our discs going forward. Since then, we have branched out and chosen to include all varieties of ancient cultures in our theme.

EGYPTIAN CULTURE

Egyptian culture is believed to date back to the 31st century BCE. The ancient Egyptians are renowned for their contributions to art, architecture, sciences, and polytheistic belief systems, with elaborate temples and monumental structures like the Pyramids of Giza reflecting the centrality of religion which you see reflected on many of our stamps.

The molds that we associate with Egyptian Culture are as follows:

Here are some of our favorite stamps that follow the theme of this culture –

ROMAN/GREEK CULTURE

Roman and Greek cultures, collectively known as Greco-Roman civilization, have profoundly influenced the course of Western history. Ancient Greece birthed democracy, philosophy, and classical arts as well as excelled in architecture, literature, and sculpture. Ancient Rome is most known for their evolution into a formidable empire, therefore inspiring several of our mold names. Both cultures celebrated polytheistic religions, with Greek and Roman mythologies influencing art and literature.

The molds that we associate with Ancient Greco-Roman civilization are as follows:

Here are some of our favorite stamps that follow the theme of this culture –

SOUTHERN AMERICAN CULTURE: MAYAN, INCA & AZTEC

Despite their geographical separation and distinct historical timelines, the Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations shared certain characteristics such as advanced agricultural practices, complex social structures, and polytheistic religious beliefs. However, each had unique cultural achievements and political organizations that contributed to their individual legacies.

Maya: Known for their advanced knowledge in astronomy, mathematics, and hieroglyphic writing. Built impressive city-states with temples and pyramids.
Aztec: Renowned for their military prowess, impressive architecture, and the complex social structure. Their artistic expressions included intricate codices and sculptures.
Inca: Famed for their extensive road network, advanced agricultural terracing, and skillful stonework in constructions like Machu Picchu.

Each of these cultures has a disc in the Infinite line up with it’s own name represented. We also include the Alpaca as part of this cultural theme, as each of these cultures relied heavily on these amazing creatures for food and clothing materials.

Here are some of our favorite stamps that follow the theme of this culture –

ASIAN DYNASTY CULTURE

Ancient Asian dynasties were characterized by rich and diverse cultures that significantly shaped the history of the continent. These ancient Asian dynasties reflected an intricate tapestry of philosophies, arts, and scientific achievements, leaving enduring legacies that continue to influence the cultural landscape of Asia today.

Currently, we only have the Dynasty as part of this cultural identity. But we are continuing to work on creating several other molds that fall under this cultural influence.

Here are some of our favorite stamps that follow the theme of this culture –

We’d like to highlight that a number of our molds can be associated with various cultures based on the stamps selected for different production runs. For instance, the Tomb and the Emperor were not initially intended to be part of the Asian Dynasty culture. However, as evident from these stamps below, they share some connection with this cultural theme.

SPANIARD & EXPLORER CULTURE

Ancient Spanish culture, with its roots in a diverse history shaped by various civilizations, has contributed significantly to the cultural tapestry of Europe. The Spanish Golden Age, marked by flourishing arts and literature, colonial expansion, and contributing to the blend of cultures defines this culture.

One of our most recently released molds, the Galleon, begins to cover this culture as a GALLEON is a large, heavily armed sailing ship that was used primarily by European states from the 16th to the 18th century and played a significant role in the exploration and colonization of the Americas.

A CONQUEROR is an individual or entity that successfully overcomes and subdues others, typically through force, skill, or strategy. This is our most recently released mold, and is currently in Signature Halo S-Blend plastic and soon to be Swirly S-blend.

ANCIENT CULTURE RELATED

The following molds don’t fall under any specific cultural category, but do fall under each category as an integral part of ancient cultures.

SLAB: A slab is a flat, thick piece or slice of material, often rectangular in shape. This term is commonly used in construction and architecture to describe a broad, horizontal surface, such as a concrete slab (that’s where our plastic name comes from) and other ancient structures like temples and pyramids.

RUIN: Ruin refers to the state of decay, destruction, or disintegration of something that was once complete, prosperous, or structurally sound. It can apply to physical structures, such as buildings or monuments, as well as abstract concepts like relationships or plans. As we look back on these ancient cultures, we see much ruin as their once glorious palaces, colosseum, and pyramids are beginning to decay.

RAZE: To raze is to utterly obliterate or demolish, usually in the context of structures, buildings, or entire settlements. Historically, scholars assert that war and conflict were prevalent in nearly all ancient cultures, suggesting that instances of razing likely occurred with some frequency.

MYTH: A myth is a traditional or sacred narrative that explains the beliefs, customs, practices, or natural phenomena of a society. Myths often involve supernatural beings, gods, heroes, and legendary events, serving as cultural stories that convey moral or spiritual lessons. We see that each ancient civilization discussed here had some sort of myth/legend that was passed down through the generations.

CZAR: A czar historically refers to a title used for the emperors or monarchs of Russia. In a more general sense, the term “czar” is sometimes used metaphorically to refer to a person with significant authority or control over a particular area or aspect, such as a “drug czar” overseeing anti-drug efforts.

SCEPTER: A scepter is an ornamental staff or rod, often made of precious materials and adorned with symbolic embellishments. It is a symbol of authority, sovereignty, or rulership and is traditionally associated with royalty, monarchs, or other high-ranking figures. Crowns, attire, and scepters are just a few of the ways that people would be able to recognize who was in charge of that group of individuals or an entire nation.

KON-TIKI: The name for this disc does not have a clear cultural relation, nor a clear description of what it means. This disc was named before our Creative Director was brought on and during a time where the naming process was more random. However, several interpretations can be made for this name. 1. The Kon-Tiki was a raft used for a famous expedition led by Norwegian explorer and ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl where him and his crew sailed the Kon-Tiki from South America to the Polynesian islands. 2. Large stone heads have been refered to by tourtist as Kon-tiki’s, but are not general known by that name in any cultural significance. Therefore, we can place this disc name under Polynesian culture, which you my see us work more on in the future.

ARE ALIENS REAL???

We find it important to talk about our small use of an Alien theme that weaves it way into several of our cultural stamps. The belief in extraterrestrial influence on ancient civilizations is a popular one. Extraterrestrial guidance suggests that advanced beings from outer space may have played a role in shaping the development of early human societies. The concept of extraterrestrial influence on ancient cultures remains a topic of debate and speculation and we believe it is a fun and creative way to include these views into our artwork.

HOW DO WE CHOOSE DISC NAMES?

Over the years, there have been several means by which a disc is named. But as of 2 years ago, we now have an Infinite Discs Brand Manager and Creative Director who is in charge of ordering every run of discs, choosing and editing artwork, and has the final say when naming discs. Our entire team discusses a host of name options, but our Creative Director has the final say.

Additionally, If you notice, all of our Distance Drivers are strong names (Conqueror, Emperor…). We wanted to be sure to show that something so overstable as an Emperor should have a strong name.

WHAT MOLDS DO YOU HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO?

2024 is going to be an AMAZING year for some new releases! We currently have a new putter, mid-range, and possibly a fairway driver in the works. Feel free to drop a comment below with your name suggestions! Make sure it falls under one of our cultural identities, or give us a new cultural identity we haven’t thought of yet!

We hope you enjoy our line up of discs as much as we do!

And as always…

Love what you throw, and throw what you love

Infinite Discs Plastic Types

April 6, 2023 Tara Martin

INFINITE DISCS PLASTIC TYPES

Infinite Discs currently has 20 different plastic variations! Choosing the best plastic is an important decision when purchasing a new disc. This post is to help you navigate which plastic will be the right choice for you when purchasing from our lineup.

Innova Champion Discs is our mold manufacturer, therefore our plastic types are based on their plastic types. We will indicate the similarities below, but you can read about their plastic types HERE

PREMIUM PLASTICS

S-Blend: A somewhat firm, opaque plastic that flies true to the flight numbers. Compare to Innova’s ‘Star’ plastic.

Swirly S-Blend (various swirls within the plastic)
Splatter S-Blend (bits of recycled plastic added to the plastic)
Halo S-Blend (two-toned flight plate)

C-Blend: A firm, transparent plastic that has increased durability and tends to make molds more overstable. Compare to Innova’s ‘Champion’ plastic.

Metal Flake C-Blend (added metal flakes within the plastic)
Metal Flake Glow C-Blend (added metal flakes & glows in the dark)
Glow C-Blend (glows in the dark)
Gummy C-Blend (less-stiff than regular C-Blend)
Luster C-Blend (has an added shimmer)
Concrete (Luster and Metal Flake plastic combined)

G-Blend: A gummier feeling plastic that has added glimmer and grip. Compare to Innova’s ‘GStar’ plastic.

I-Blend: A softer plastic that is made from the recycled parts of S-Blend plastic. The ‘I’ stands for ‘Infinite Blend’ since this plastic is unique to our brand.

BASE PLASTICS

D-Blend: A base plastic that is firm and grippy, yet lacks durability. Compare to Innova’s ‘DX’ plastic.

Glow D-Blend (glows in the dark)

P-Blend: A durable and stiff base plastic. Compare to Innova’s ‘KC Pro’ plastic,

Glow P-Blend (glows in the dark)

X-Blend: A midgrade plastic that has a great balance of durability with a tacky, grippy feel. Compare Innova’s ‘XT’ plastic.

N-Blend: A stiff and grippy plastic, with an emphasized stiffness in the flight plate. Compare to Innova’s ‘Nexus’ plastic.

R-Blend: A soft plastic with good grip and some flexibility. Compare to Innova’s ‘R-Pro’ plastic.

*Signature Plastics: When you see plastics on our site labeled as ‘Signature _-Blend’ this means that the plastic price has been slightly increased to support the professional disc golfer who’s stamp is on that specific run of discs. There is nothing different about the plastic, only the price.

What plastic type should you choose?

Here is a breakdown of what each plastic is best suited for:

S-Blend: Any of the S-Blend plastics are versitile and best used for throwing. Ripping an S-Blend plastic off the tee or on an approach will result in an excellent flight.

C-Blend: Most* all of the C-Blend plastics are more durable yet less grippy than the other premium plastics. You will find that C-blend tends to be more overstable than all the other premium plastics., but is also a great choice for throwing.

*Gummy and MF Glow tend to be softer and grippier than the other C-Blend plastics

G-Blend: This plastic is the opposite of C-Blend. It is less durable, has increased grip, and tends to fly straighter. However, this plastic is just as good for throwing as all the other premium plastics.

I-Blend: This is the most basic of the premium plastics, but is still a good plastic for throwing. A fresh I-Blend mold will typically have the same stability as an S, G, or C-Blend mold, but it will be the first of the three to ‘beat in’ and become understable overtime.

D-Blend: This plastic is best suited for putters and approach discs. It is firm and gives you good grip, meaning it will have a better chance of hitting the chains and staying in the basket. This is generally the same for the P, X, N, & R Blends we have available, but with assorted types of grippiness and durability as explained above.

* Note that each run of a certain mold in a certain plastic will fly slightly differently than that same mold in that same plastic type from another run. This is due to the slight inconsistency of manufacturing for each run month to month; Innova can’t make all discs the same every single time. All of our stock stamps have run numbers on them to help indicate the differences.

Misprint/X-out

These terms are used interchangeably, but typically indicate the following:

X-out: Discs that are marked with an x-out indicator on our website mean they are ‘factory seconds.’ These molds did not get formed perfectly in the molding process and have some fundamental flaw in their design/plastic. However, most x-outs tend to fly much like their perfect counterparts. You may also see a small penned ‘X’ on the disc’s front flight plate.

Misprint: This indicates that the artwork on the disc was not stamped perfectly, and is therefore a flawed product. Most misprinted discs come with multiple stamps on them as an attempt to fix the stamping error before finishing the remaining run of discs.

Check out this post for a more detailed explanation of X-Outs, Misprints and Factory seconds.

We hope this post has been informative, and that you are able to more accurately choose the discs and plastics that are best suited for your disc golf needs. And as always…

Team Infinite Player Spotlight: Taylor Aubuchon

June 21, 2021 Morgan Leonard Leave a comment

When I started my journey down the rabbit hole of learning about disc golf and buying discs about 2 years ago, Taylor Aubuchon was the first reviewer I came across. I appreciated Taylor’s succinct reviews that had no extra fluff in them: 60-second reviews, a couple throws from different release angles, flight trackers, and good descriptions of the feel and flight of a specific disc.

The more knowledge I gain, or think I gain, I still find myself looking forward to and immediately clicking on any new videos from Taylor. Taylor can pack just the right amount of information into a short and easily digestible video. Most of Taylor’s videos also end with a discount code to be used at infinitediscs.com.

I reached out for a brief interview to better introduce Taylor to other Infinite followers that may not be aware of his content, social media presence, and mission to grow the game.

What is your disc golf origin story?

In late middle school/early high school (2007/2008), my group of friends and I were introduced to the game through our church’s youth group. I also took my dad and brother out to play and we were all hooked instantly. We were really lucky to have a great course just a few minutes away and started to play relatively seriously early on. Our youth group started a weekly bag tag series, and I even started to run a small doubles charity tournament within that first year.

How long have you been working with Infinite Discs?

Fortunately for me, Infinite started to support me after just my first review video, which was in March 2019. I’ll never be able to thank Dylan enough for believing in the plan I had for a different take on review videos! It’s pretty crazy to see how far I’ve come and how much it’s grown since then.

When did you start posting disc golf videos?

I started posting in March 2019, right when the first run I-Blend Emperors came out. This was a disc I was really excited about and thought it needed some more light shed on it. It was a mediocre video, to say the least, but it got some great feedback and I’ve been trying to improve and refine my style ever since.

How did you develop your signature and succinct review style?

I think as most content creators develop their style it starts out being mostly self-serving. After taking an extended hiatus from the game, my brother introduced me to the Infinite brand. I was hard-pressed to find any reviews or really any content focused on their lineup. Most YouTube reviews I was watching seemed quite long for their purpose, and I couldn’t find any review content on Instagram at the time. I saw an opportunity to create a more concise format that would be able to be pushed to the more underutilized avenues of social media. The original plan was actually to only post them to Instagram. I only created a YouTube channel to be able to share the reviews in Infinite’s comment section.

What disc surprised you the most after reviewing it? (You weren’t expecting to like, flew differently than expected, etc)

Definitely the Aztec. I had never really thrown that kind of straight control driver that still had good distance potential. When the I-Blend test run came out I loved the feel and flight it had, but it beat in just a little too quickly to be super reliable. Thankfully, the color glow run came out shortly after and I’ve had at least two in my bag ever since. The Aztec gives me the control of the Exodus, while not sacrificing much of the extra distance I’d get from bumping up to an Emperor of Pharaoh. If they’re ever looking for a name to put on the color glow Aztec, I know a guy that’d be pretty interested.

What is your favorite Infinite disc?

The Tomb without a doubt. I power grip everything but putts, so the Tomb is a perfect throwing putter for me with its shallow rim. Right now I’m bagging a Splatter S-Blend for overstable, C-Blend for stable, and D-Blend for understable throwing putter slots.

What is your favorite non-infinite disc?

I’ve had a full infinite bag for a bit over a year now, but the hardest disc for me to take out was the Westside Discs Pine. I enjoy a taller, more overstable feeling Midrange that beat into straight fliers. Taking the time to beat a disc into that perfect spot gives you a level of confidence and trust in it that can’t easily be replaced.

Who is your player on tour?

I always look forward to watching Drew Gibson shred out there. Best backhand form on tour!

Do you compete in tournaments? Discuss some local events, results, experiences, etc.

Unfortunately, it’s been a couple of years since I’ve played a local event, but I’m hoping to get back out there soon!

What are some of your disc golf goals?

Since really diving into content creation, most of my goals center around growing my presence to be able to share these awesome discs with as many people as possible! It’d be awesome to hit 1000 YouTube subscribers someday, but I try not to focus too hard on any specific avenue as there are so many outlets to push to. As far as disc golf specific, I’m always tweaking something in my game. Right now the goal is to develop a more consistent forehand, there’s a reason you’ve never seen me throw a forehand in any video…

What are some of your hobbies outside of and other than disc golf?

Before disc golf, my biggest passions were music and video games. I played in local bands throughout high school and dove pretty deep into music production afterward. I’ve also streamed via Twitch off and on since around 2015. Although music has taken a bit of a back seat recently, I still stream regularly at twitch.tv/ursapls and would love to talk disc golf, gaming, or music with anyone that wants to stop by!

Focus Friday – Gateway Wizard

February 5, 2021 Keith Barker Leave a comment

For this week’s Focus Friday we are shining the spotlight on Gateway’s Wizard. Over the weekend you can use the discount code: FOCUSWIZARD to save 10% on any Wizard.

One of the most popular putt & approach discs that we sell. This is a great stable putter, allowing for some good drives and reliable putting. With a vast variety of plastic types you’ll be sure to find the one that suits you the most. While putting with the Wizard from the circle’s edge, you can expect a solid straight line. After that point, is when the disc will start to fade out. When it comes to driving the Wizard, you can expect a pretty straight flight path that ends with a decent fade. This can hold anhyzer lines for a while, but it will generally fade out.

This weekend is a great time to get your favorite Wizard, or to try it out. Again, use the discount code FOCUSWIZARD to get 10% off.

Head on over to https://infinitediscs.com/Gateway-Wizard to select your Wizard. Once everything you want is in your cart, you can apply the discount code FOCUSWIZARD and get 10% off all Wizards in your cart.

Note: After placing your discs in the shopping cart and before checking out, click on the “Discount Code” box under the shopping cart and enter that code. Then proceed to checkout.
