Top Selling Discs–Q2 and Q3 of 2018
We had a very busy summer here at Infinite Discs! How busy? Well, busy enough to not post about the best selling discs of the second quarter. But now the weather is cooling down, and so is the disc golf season. So instead of just posting about Q3, today I will be discussing the top selling discs in each disc classification of Q2, Q3, and both quarters (the last 6 months) combined. The latter I think is especially interesting because those 6 months make up the majority of the disc golf season.
With so much data to get through, this post will be heavy on data and a bit lighter on the analysis.
Top 10 Overall Q2
- Innova Destroyer
- Innova Firebird
- Innova Aviar
- Discmania P2 Psycho
- Innova TeeBird

Top 10 Overall Combined
- Innova Destroyer
- Innova Aviar
- Innova Firebird
- Discmania P2 Psycho
- Innova TeeBird
- Discraft Buzzz
- Innova Wraith
- Innova Thunderbird
- Innova Shryke
- Innova Sonic
After being knocked off the top in our last two articles, the Innova Destroyer is back as the best selling disc overall. And the Discmania P2 made a pretty significant drop finishing as the fourth best selling disc in all three charts. Those who haven’t been following the world of professional disc golf and tour series discs are also probably shocked to see the Innova Sonic on this list but Innova and Garret Gurthie have brought it back with some very popular signature editions. Other than that, none of the names on these top charts are new comers.

- Innova Firebird
- Innova Wraith

Top Distance Drivers Combined

- Innova Wraith
- Innova Shryke
- Innova Valkyrie
- Infinite Discs Pharaoh
- Innova Boss
- Innova Beast
- Innova Tern
- Dynamic Discs Trespass
A couple of notes for the Distance Driver category. The new Infinite Discs Pharaoh has cracked into what has proven to be a pretty consistent group of discs. Obviously being an Infinite Discs exclusive disc, it will be interesting to see if this new high speed distance driver will stay in these top charts as the new release hype begins to wear off. One other noteworthy result is the Innova Orc cracking into the top 10 in Q2. This was a first appearance for the Orc, and it was just outside the top 10 in Q3 (12th).
Top Control/Fairway Drivers Q2
- Innova Teebird
- Innova Thunderbird
- Innova Leopard3
- Discmania FD Jackal
- Innova Leopard
- Infinite Discs Sphinx
- Innova Roadrunner
- Innova TeeBird3
- Latitude 64 River
- MVP Volt
Top Control/Fairway Drivers Q3
- Innova Teebird
- Innova Thunderbird
- Innova Leopard3
- Discmania FD Jackal/Innova Leopard
- NA
- Innova TeeBird3
- Discmania CD2
- Infinite Discs Exodus
- Innova Roadrunner
- Latitude 64 River
Top Control/Fairway Drivers Combined
- Innova Teebird
- Innova Thunderbird
- Innova Leopard3
- Discmania FD Jackal
- Innova Leopard
- Innova TeeBird3
- Innova Roadrunner
- Infinite Discs Sphinx
- Infinite Discs Exodus
- Latitude 64 River
Mostly familiar names in mostly familiar places in the Fairway Drivers. The new Infinite Discs Sphinx joined the charts and just like the Pharaoh, only time will tell if it is here to stay as a top seller. Another new name here is the Discmania CD2 coming in 7th in Q3. The CD2 has been a popular disc in the Discmania world, but this jump into the top chats was likely fueled by the release of the Dana Vicich Roaming Thunder CD2. The Discmania FD made a drop similar to the Discmania P2 in the overall chart by coming in as number 4 after finishing first the previous quarter. It is also interesting to see the exact same top 5 discs in the same order in all 3 charts other than a tie for fourth in Q3.
Top Midrange Discs Q2
- Discraft Buzzz
- Innova Roc3
- Innova Mako3
- Innova Roc
- Hyzerbomb Mortar
- Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
- Innova Gator
- Innova Rat
- Discmania MD3
- Infinite Discs Chariot
Top Midrange Discs Q3
- Discraft Buzzz
- Innova Roc3
- Innova Mako3
- Innova Roc
- Infinite Discs Anubis
- Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
- Innova Caiman
- MVP Deflector
- Discraft Comet
- Discmania MD3
Top Midrange Discs Combined
- Discraft Buzzz
- Innova Roc3
- Innova Mako3
- Innova Roc
- Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
- Hyzerbomb Mortar
- Innova Gator
- Discmania MD3
- Discraft Comet
- MVP Deflector
In the midranges we see several new releases making some waves. The Infinite Discs Anubis, Innova Caiman, and MVP Deflector all made debut appearances in the third quarter. The MVP Deflector even performed well enough in Q2 to make it onto the combined top 10. Also similar to the Fairway Drivers, the top 4 were consistent across all three charts. In a category that is comparatively low-selling, it will be interesting to see if these three new releases will maintain their high sales numbers.

Other than the Innova Sonic making a “super-sonic” jump to the top of the charts (too cheesy?), the names on these charts are very familiar. The only really notable change to me is the Westside Harp dropping from number 3 in Q2 all the way down to 7 in Q3. It will be interesting to see if this is the start of a trend or just a seasonal drop.
