Top Doomsday Discs For Your Bag!

May 16, 2025 Mister Disc Leave a comment

In this line of “work”, I interact with a lot of companies, representatives, players, and more.

Believe me when I tell you, there’s only one Doctor Death.

You might think, behind the scenes, this person might reveal their true name to be something like “Gary” and have some “off-the-record” discourse about Doomsday Discs’ company/branding and how they came up with it all.

No, no, no. Not with me at least!

As far as I’m concerned, Doctor Death knows the end is near, and when it comes, the good Doctor and the loyal Doomsday street team plan to emerge from their bunkers and play some disc golf in our new dystopian reality.

I don’t know about you, but this brings me some measure of comfort. I’m glad to know that the game will live on when I’m gone.

I just hope my corpse doesn’t get in the way and stop their discs from skipping close to the basket. If it does, just sling me aside for the foursome of Doomsday players behind you.

If you could though, point me towards the basket so I can watch the apocalyptic disc golf action unfold…

In the meantime, while we wait for the inevitable, we’ve got a Doomsday Discs featured post for you.

Doomsday has some incredibly unique discs for you and some more conventional ones as well.

We went ahead and ranked their discs in a lot of different categories to help you find some Doomsday Discs to fill some slots in your bag.

First, let’s take a look at Doomsday Discs and what they’re about…

The Doomsday Discs Loyal Fanbase

In my background “research” on Doomsday Discs and my own anecdotal findings picked up from the ether, the Doomsday fanbase and street team have separated themselves as some of the most loyal fans in disc golf.

If a new disc drops with one of their signature stamps, it can sell out in minutes.

If you play a round with a Doomsday loyalist, not only are they throwing all Doomsday discs but they’ll probably be decked out in the apparel with the swag to match.

They love the brand and they show it…

Here’s what Doctor Death had to say…

“Team Doomsday is the most devoted and passionate disc golf brand “street team” on the planet. If you take a chance and make bold moves, there’s usually somebody who will appreciate what you’re doing. So, the brand is really theirs. It’s for them, driven by them, and they call the shots. You reap what you throw.”

Within that quote, and in addition to the clear recognition that Doomsday Discs’ fans are incredibly loyal and instrumental to their brand, there’s another part that’s intriguing as well.

“If you take a chance and make bold moves, there’s usually somebody who will appreciate what you are doing..”

Not only is their branding innovative and unique, but so too are some of their discs!

Doomsday’s BOLD Discs

I said it before. Doomsday Discs will definitely have some more conventional molds that are more akin to something you might find with some other brands.

They also, however, have some incredibly singular discs that look, feel, and fly different than anything you might have thrown before.

At the very least, when you pull one of these discs out of your bag, it’s a conversation starter with your fellow disc golfers.

“Are you throwing a disc or a trash can lid?*” might be the start of the conversation if you pull out the Depth Charge for a touchy approach shot.

The Land Mine Is one of many unique molds in the Doomsday Discs lineup.

Then, after you nestle it close, the conversation might shift. “Can I try that thing?”

And a new Doomsday Discs fan is born.

By my count, they have at least 6 such “bold” discs, some with more utility on the course than others (the way I view things).

We’ll rank them, along with many other categories, so you can see for yourself.

Before that, let’s take a quick look at some Doomsday Discs History (or what little I could gather).

*Shout out to the commenter(s) that got a chuckle out of me comparing either the Land Mine or the Depth Charge to a trash can lid.

Doomsday Discs Background…

When I asked Doctor Death when Doomsday started, this is some of what I got…

“I would say that the first sign of the beginning of Doomsday was the Carrington Event in September, 1859 during solar cycle 10. That caused a reversal of direction in the slow-moving magnetic poles…”

And on it went!

Thankfully Doctor Death seemed to know what I was getting at and gave me this as well…

“In the meantime, we started a disc golf brand that embraces these inevitabilities a few months before our first PDGA approved disc was announced, the Plague, in April 2022.”

Since that fateful day in 2022, Doomsday Discs have been quite busy. At the time of this post, Doomsday Discs has 30 different molds on the market.

They come in some high-quality plastics at very competitive prices. It’s time to rank them!

Ranking The Best Doomsday Discs!

It’s time… No, not that time…yet. The apocalypse will come and hopefully the Doomsdayers can give us a heads when it does so we can do a little last-minute prep work ourselves.

Right now, we’re going to highlight and rank the best Doomsday Discs on the market in a variety of categories.

We ranked them based on a multitude of criteria. It came down to personal experience, mixed with disc rankings from other disc golfers, along with some other variables like how long it’s been on the market and others that we’ll keep to ourselves (we can’t just give out our award-winning recipes willy-nilly)…

Let’s begin with midranges. I’ll explain why in a moment…

Best Doomsday Midranges!

“Why would you start with midranges?” you rightly inquire.

Because Doomsday’s midranges are awesome. That’s why.

These guys have cooked up all sorts of mids that could and should be in bags for players of all levels. Beginners to pros.

Doomsday has a lot of great discs as you’ll see, but I couldn’t help but appreciate the breadth of greatness with their midranges. They’re so good, I had a great deal of trouble ranking them. More than any other, take these rankings with a grain of salt, and if you see one that fills a slot in your bag, you won’t go wrong with it.

For this reason, we start here…

Despair – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 4, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) A classic, straight-as-you-like flyer, that can turn with power and has a great hand feel.
Crisis – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 2, 0, 4 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) This disc easily handles forehand and backhand torque and can be released at extreme angles to bend around obstacles and get you close!
Scavenger – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) Great for Finesse shots on many angles. Also hyzer-flips to straight with good glide.
Wasteland – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 4, 0, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.83 stars) Great, stable, straight-flying midrange with nice glide and reliability.
Desolation – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, 0, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.7 stars) A steady, dependable midrange with a very consistent fade.
Scope – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 4, 0, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.75 stars) A fun, 4-speed with unique hand-fell that helps you laser in on your target with very consistent results!
Flat Earth – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, -1, 0 (Avg. Rating: 4.71 stars) Flippier than the numbers suggest, but the glide is very real and the turnover lines are exceptional.
Frag – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 2, 0, 5 (Avg. Rating: 4.22 stars) This is seemingly a utility disc that can bend at extreme angles when you need it to.

Let’s move on to a close relative: Approach Discs.

Top Doomsday Approach Discs!

Not surprisingly, given the excellence of their midrange discs, Doomsday has some fantastic approach discs as well.

When you find yourself somewhere in the vicinity of 150 feet (about 45 meters) out, depending on the shot you face, there are a lot of great options from Doomsday Discs so you can put it close.

Area 51 – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 3, 0, 2.5 (Avg. Rating: 4.88 stars) Extremely reliable fade, with a just-right glide and hand feel. Works great for backhand and forehand so you don’t overshoot and can nestle it close.
Crisis – Factory Flight Numbers: 4, 2, 0, 4 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) If you like extra beef in your approach disc, Crisis has you covered. It feels great backhand and forehand and the fade is real so you can zag around obstacles as well.
Depth Charge – The thinner-rimmed, premium-plastic cousin of the Land Mine. This low-glide, flexible disc will fly straight at the basket with minimal fade and very low roll-away potential. Try The Scope for a touch more glide and stability.
Scavenger – Factory Flight Numbers: 5, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 5.0 stars) Bend this delicately around obstacles for soft, finesse approach shots.

Best Doomsday Fairway Drivers!

Doomsday Discs has less Fairway Drivers than other categories of discs, but they have some really nice options for disc golfers that want some controlled distance.

Here are some favorites…

Blackout – Factory Flight Numbers: 8, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.76 stars) A smooth hyzer-flip disc for easy glide and straight distance. Also holds long anhyzer lines very nicely when you find yourself in a bind on the course.
Ice Age – Factory Flight Numbers: 7, 4, 0, 3 (Avg. Rating: 4.63 stars) A no-nonsense, wind-busting, highly flickable, & very dependable disc in all conditions.
Chemtrail – Factory Flight Numbers: 7, 6, -2, 1 – A high-glide, hold-many-lines, workable gem of a disc that could be a go-to for many players for years to come.
Solar Death Ray – Factory Flight Numbers: 8, 5, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.0 stars) With grip-enhancing grooves on the flight plate, this disc is intriguing. It flies nice and straight and can be used well for both forehand and backhand.

Best Doomsday Distance Drivers!

Look, Doomsday Discs do not play by everyone’s rules. This, from how I see it, is part of their big appeal. They do not conform. They do not want to conform.

When asked about some of their “meme” discs here’s what Doctor Death had to say:

“We’re happy to produce “meme” discs, but really, those are simply discs that break the norms of standard disc design. The PDGA has always tried to limit what can be used in competitive, sanctioned play, but there is still some room within those limitations to create discs that don’t look, feel, or fly quite like other discs…”

Well, when categorizing “Distance Drivers” they have a few discs that would slot nicely into that “meme” disc category.

Would I recommend some of these “meme” discs for attempting to throw long distances?

I would not.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t have a place in disc golf. So, for this section, let’s do drivers that would recommend for throwing long distances.

Then, later, let’s have a section for some of these aforementioned “meme” discs as well.

Dystopia – Factory Flight Numbers: 10, 5, -2, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.55 stars) If you want consistent, controllable, straight-line, natural distance, then this is your disc.
Cataclysm – Factory Flight Numbers: 11, 5, -1, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.5 stars) This great-feeling disc provides workable, easy distance for lots of arm speeds.
Plague – Factory Flight Numbers: 12, 5, -1, 2.5 (Avg. Rating: 4.58 stars) Has the potential to be a backhand or forehand distance workhorse in your bag.
Lockdown – Factory Flight Numbers: 10, 5, -1, 2 (Avg. Rating: 4.25 stars) A straight, steady, very controllable driver for good distance and predictable results.
Famine – Factory Flight Numbers: 12, 5, -2, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.05 stars) Understable, beginner-friendly distance driver right out of the box.
Pestilence – Factory Flight Numbers: 13, 5, -4, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.05 stars) Finally, a 13-speed that beginners can rip on. Also good for long, if a bit touchy, turnovers and, of course, some serious rollers.

Top Doomsday “Meme” Discs

As promised, here’s a section on Doomsday “meme” discs. And continuing the quote from above, Doctor Death also had this to say…

“…Why not have a boxy disc that flies wonderfully and then hits the breaks and falls before overshooting the target and gliding into a pond? Why not make a disc that fades the moment it leaves your hand so that you can make a sharp fade around a stand of trees in which you’re otherwise trapped? Why not have grooves on the top of a driver instead of just a dog-disc putter? Why not do something different?”

So, with that in mind, let’s rank these so-called “meme” discs!

The Land Mine Family – This family includes the Land Mine, Depth Charge, and even Proximity Mine. These are round “boxy” approach discs that can take power, and will get down so you don’t go OB long. Great for soft bids from distance too.
Apocalypse – I’d be genuinely impressed if you could throw this 12-speed disc much farther than 250 feet. It takes the word “overstable” to a new level. But therein lies the fun perhaps. It won’t likely make your tournament bag, but throw it in for a casual round and let your cardmates take a rip on it for some good fun.
Frag – This extremely overstable midrange will begin it’s fade almost as soon as you release it. But you can put this to use by zagging between trees or getting big lateral utility skips up to the basket.
WMD – Good luck controlling this flippy 15-speed. It’ll certainly go far. Where it goes, is anybody’s guess, however. Still, it’s another disc that is great for friends to bomb with during a casual round. Don’t bring it out for a sanctioned event as it is not PDGA approved!
Solar Death Ray – I liked throwing this groove-topped 8-speed. I’m not even sure it belongs in this category. It takes some getting used to but the grooves can give a little extra grip in certain adverse throwing conditions.

Best Doomsday Putters

With most manufacturer reviews, you might start with the putters.

But that sounds conventional. And maybe this Doomsday bucking of convention is rubbing off on me as well…

We’ve already ranked some of their putters in the approach discs sections. For this section we’re going to stick to throwing and putting putters. That gives us 3 left to get to and all 3 have elements you’ll appreciate.

Rot – Factory Flight Numbers: 2, 4, 0, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.67 stars) A really nice throwing putter that keeps a nice straight line with a light, predictable fade. This disc is also appreciated as a putting putter and has a subtle bead to it.
Gloom – Factory Flight Numbers: 2, 3, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.5 stars) A beadless, glidey putting putter that is good for bids from circles 1 and 2.
Bleak – Factory Flight Numbers: 2, 4, -1, 1 (Avg. Rating: 4.29 stars) A hybrid putting and throwing putter that has a slight turn to it at higher powers and has a nice straight, floating flight around the basket.

Best Doomsday Discs – In Summary

Doomsday Discs brings something fresh to the disc golf world and their fans truly appreciate this about them.

The fans don’t just support in half measures. They are loyal until the bitter end.

When and how that bitter end does come is anybody’s guess. Until that day, there are plenty of great Doomsday Discs that we’ve highlighted and ranked for you to enjoy pre-apocalypse (and possibly post-apocalypse if you play your cards right).

When that day does come, I’m guessing my days will probably be numbered. And if that’s the case, when I come to that morbid realization I’m going to take Doctor Death’s sign off to me as life advice.

“Go Down Throwing”

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.

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.

Introducing Infinite Discs’ Joel Freeman

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!

Introducing Infinite Discs’ Ben Wolff

March 20, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

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

I’m from Mountain Rest, SC. I went to Clemson University and majored in Mathematics. I still live in Clemson while my wife works on her Chemical Engineering PhD.

2 – Can you tell us about your family?

I have three brothers and two sisters. I’m the youngest by six and a half years. Two of my brothers play or have previously played disc golf, famously my brother Jake did until 2025.

3 – How and when did you start playing disc golf?

I knew that disc golf existed but had no real interest in it until 2020 during the COVID lock down. I actually saw a YouTube video of Brodie Smith playing WACO and I thought it looked like fun and I thought I could be capable of playing like that if I tried. So in the spring of 2020 my cousins and I started throwing discs down access roads in the woods and fields by our houses, using random objects as targets. I think I played every day after that for a year if it wasn’t raining.

4 – When did you start playing professionally?

In September of 2020, my brother and I got PDGA memberships. We signed up for two tournaments in MA3 (before playing the first one) and I won the first and he won the second and we were like, oh no, that was a bad thing we did. We played one tournament in MA2, two tournaments in MA1, and with a crisp rating of 955 (Jake was 925), decided to start playing pro events.

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

This is a tough one, because I still haven’t done much that I’m extremely proud of. However, the first thing that comes to mind is winning a two round C-tier by 33 strokes in 2023, setting two course records on the way.

Ben, his wife, and their cat

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

Honestly, it was funny. It obviously felt like an accomplishment, but I couldn’t stop laughing at how dumb I thought it was that I was technically a professional athlete at that point. As a 955 rated player who hadn’t even been playing the sport for a year yet, it felt very dumb that I had crossed that threshold already.

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

Well I guess based off of my previous answers, Brodie Smith. During covid, the two tournament on coverage that made me want to get outside and play the most were 2019 Worlds and 2019 Throw Down the Mountain. So naturally Paul McBeth was the guy who had achieved the most in the modern game and was the guy I wanted to track down one day.

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

My goals going into 2025 were, win my first B-tier, win my first A-tier, make $25,000 in on-course earnings, reach a rating of 1020, and TD 10 events. I plan to play around 30-35 events in 2025.

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

My body currently has no interest in storing any sort of fat, so in an attempt to make disc golf as profitable as I possibly can, my diet revolves around finding as many calories as I can for a fairly minimal price. This also means that I have no trouble staying in good shape for disc golf. My main focus off the course is keeping my arm as healthy and powerful as is possible. So I do a lot of resistance band work, I have a strict warmup routing, and I make sure to take more days off than most of the other players I compete against.

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

I really don’t feel qualified to speculate on the future of disc golf, but I will tell you what I want disc golf to look like in 5 years. I hope we see less pro tour events held on temporary courses using golf course property. I hope we see more tour level architecture like what we see at Olympus, Krokhol (Norway), Ale, Ymergardens (Sweden), Northwood, W.R. Jackson (RIP), etc. I recognize that it’s easier to host large crowds on golf courses, but it often creates a product that is not compelling. With good course architecture, disc golf can reach new heights. We can have great score separation, exciting shot shapes, awesome spectator experiences, and crown the best players champion at the end of the week. I fully believe that course architecture is at the center of the success of disc golf. Obviously, I’d love to see player contracts increase to the point that it’s much more feasible for the top 150 or so players in the world to chase a professional disc golf career with 100% intensity.

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

I currently bag a Chariot, Scepter, Emperor, and Conqueror. Naturally, those are my favorites. I have also experimented with the Khonsu, Centurion, Sphinx, Exodus, Galleon, Roman, Maya, Czar, and Pharaoh. I cannot recommend the Chariot, Centurion, and Sphinx enough for anyone who plays the game. They are great for beginners, amateurs, and professionals alike.

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

Thanks to my awesome wife, Missoury. Without her help, belief, and kindness, I would never be able to give my best effort to disc golf. She’s truly amazing and also a very naturally talented disc golfer in her own right. Of course a huge shout out to my brother who not only pushed me toward playing more seriously, but helped show what is possible with tomahawks at a high level.

Best Disc Golf Cart

March 17, 2025 Ted Hegemann 2 comments

Over the past decade, disc golf carts have gained significant popularity. With more companies entering the market, players now have a wide range of options to choose from. Disc golfers at all skill levels, from casual players to seasoned professionals, have embraced the convenience of using a cart whenever possible. These carts help conserve energy, reduce repetitive strain, and provide extra space for discs, snacks, water, and other accessories. They make a round of disc golf more comfortable and enjoyable.

As a dedicated cart user, I’m often surprised that more people haven’t jumped on board. Maybe this blog will change that! You can also click here to check out the top-selling carts.

In this article, I’ll go over the different types of carts available and discuss their pros and cons. That way, you can find the one that best fits your specific needs and playing style.

Different Types of Carts

I like to categorize carts based on whether they require an additional bag for disc storage. Some carts are designed to hold an existing bag, while others have built-in shelves for your discs.

For carts that require a separate bag, you simply attach your current bag to the cart, which is typically quick and easy. Some models allow you to leave the bag attached while transporting, while others require separate storage for the bag and cart.

For carts with built-in disc storage, you’ll need to transfer your discs from your bag to the cart. If you frequently play on courses that aren’t cart-friendly, you’ll find yourself switching discs between the cart and your bag often.

Carts That Require an Additional Bag

ZUCA Trekker and Trekker LG Cart

These carts are based on the ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG models. The ‘LG’ stands for Large, meaning it’s slightly bigger than the standard Trekker. The Trekker has a 22” axle and can hold 20-25 discs, while the LG has a 24” axle and holds up to 30 discs. Both feature a telescoping handle and a built-in seat that supports up to 300 lbs.

Pros:

Built-in seat
No additional bag needed

Cons:

Requires a separate bag for non-cart courses
Takes up significant space for transport

ZUCA Compact Cart

A smaller, more lightweight option for those who don’t carry as many discs. It maintains the 22” axle for stability and includes a built-in seat, though it sits lower than other carts.

Pros:

Easier to move and transport
Built-in seat
Low center of gravity

Cons:

Requires a separate bag for non-cart courses
Limited space for discs and accessories

ZUCA All-Terrain Cart

A larger version of the Compact Cart, holding up to 32 discs with additional storage pockets and interior space. Includes a built-in seat and a 22” axle.

Pros:

Built-in seat
Plenty of storage space

Cons:

Requires a separate bag for non-cart courses

ZUCA Transit Cart

Includes a built-in disc bag with extra storage underneath. It has a 24” axle and a built-in seat, with space for up to 25 discs.

Pros:

Built-in seat
Extra storage space

Cons:

Requires a separate bag for non-cart courses
Limited extra disc storage

Frame Carts – Use Your Own Bag

These carts allow you to attach your existing bag, so your discs remain in the same place whether you’re using the cart or not. Some have built-in seats, while others don’t. They come in a variety of styles, including two-wheel and three-wheel options.

ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG

These carts include a seat, telescoping handle, and water bottle holders. However, all storage space comes from the attached bag. The Backpack cart has a 22” axle, while the LG has a 24” axle.

Pros:

Easy to remove your bag for non-cart courses
Built-in seat

Cons:

Larger cart to transport
Additional cost for a bag
Limited storage space

MVP Rover 2 Cart

A compact, lightweight cart with water bottle holders and a telescoping handle. It has a low center of gravity but no built-in seat.

Pros:

Easy to remove your bag
Small and easy to transport
Maneuvers well

Cons:

Requires a separate bag
No seat

ZUCA EZ Cart

Features a shelf for your bag and some additional storage underneath. Like the Rover Cart, it doesn’t have a seat.

Pros:

Easy to remove your bag
Extra storage for accessories or a cooler bag
Small and easy to transport

Cons:

Requires a separate bag

Rovic RV1D 2.0

A foldable push cart made by Clickgear, originally for ball golf. Holds any disc golf bag and features a locking brake, storage space, drink holders, and an umbrella holder. Various accessories are available, including a seat, insulated storage bag, and weatherproof mitts. It struggles on uneven ground going forward, but is easy to pull backward over rough terrain.

Pros:

Easy to push
Many accessories available
Compact when folded
Holds the bag at a convenient height

Cons:

Front wheel doesn’t pivot, requiring tipping to turn
Accessories add to the cost
Water bottle holders are too small for larger bottles

BagBoy Disc Golf Quad XL Push Cart

A four-wheel push cart with superior stability compared to two- and three-wheel models. It includes built-in storage, a drink holder, and an umbrella holder. The handle-mounted brake ensures it stays put on inclines.

Pros:

Stable and easy to push
Bag sits higher for easy access
Built-in accessory storage

Cons:

Optional seat is expensive
Additional accessories can be pricey
Front wheels don’t pivot
Built-in water bottle holder is small

Finding the Right Cart for You

To choose the best cart, consider:

Do you mainly play on cart-friendly courses?
Do you have enough vehicle space for a cart?
How much extra storage do you need?
Will you use it for tournaments?
What’s your budget, including accessories?
Do you need a seat during rounds?

Answering these questions will help narrow your choices. From there, you can consider styles and colors that suit your preference.

St. Patrick’s Day Sale! Discount on Green Discs!

March 14, 2025 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Save Some Green This St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patrick’s Day is coming, and what better way to celebrate than by saving some green on some green discs? Infinite Discs is offering a discount code for all green discs for a limited time, so whether you’re looking to add a new, green driver, midrange, or putter to your bag, now’s the perfect chance!

A Quick History of St. Patrick’s Day

Before we give the details of the sale, let’s take a moment to learn the origins of St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was actually born in Britain in the late 4th century. As a teenager, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave. After several years, he escaped, only to later return as a missionary to spread Christianity. Over time, he became a legendary figure associated with Irish culture, and March 17th—believed to be the date of his death—became a day of remembrance.

The holiday, originally a religious observance, has grown into a global celebration of Irish heritage, complete with parades, festive gatherings, and, of course, lots of green. Wearing green is said to make you invisible to leprechauns, who supposedly pinch anyone they can see. Whether or not you believe in pinching little tricksters, wearing green has become an undeniable tradition on St. Patrick’s Day.

Save Some Green on Green Discs!

At Infinite Discs, we’re all about bringing the best discs at the best prices to the disc golf community, and what better way to do that than with a St. Patrick’s Day sale?
