Introducing Wing It Disc Golf

9 comments

Cache County, Utah, is in the northern most part of Utah. Commonly called the Top of Utah, the county sits on the border of southern Idaho. It is about an hour from the Fort, home of the 2021 World Disc Golf Championship. The county gets its name from the trappers in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s who used to store, or ‘cache’, their furs in the valley while waiting for an upcoming rendezvous.

Cache County has a long history of dairy production and a reputation for producing delicious cheese. It is home to a land grant school, Utah State University. The County Seat is Logan, Utah, where the largest disc golf retailer in the world has its headquarters: Infinite Discs. And Cache County is home to Wing-It Disc Golf.

Starting A Disc Golf Business

 

I suspect that a large number of us have thought how fun and interesting it would be to design our own discs or start our own brand of disc golf. Whether we are picturing ourselves as the new Innova, or just wondering if we could produce a mold or two that would resonate with other disc golfers, the idea of creating a new disc is appealing to many of us. Two brothers that live in Cache County decided to pursue that dream.

Brothers With A Plan

 

Wing It Disc Golf began fairly recently, and started with conversations among Eric and Jamin Burningham and their friends. The group shares a love of disc golf, and wondered what it would take to produce discs locally. Ed and Jamin decided to act on that idea, and found a local plastics producer to talk to about making molds for a disc.

After finding a plastics manufacturer in the county, the brothers began working on a 3D model of the disc they wanted to make. Then came the process of making a mold out of the 3D design. Once that was done came the job of finding a plastic that they liked.

Eric and Jamin decided on a polyurethane/ABS combination that they like. The plastic was durable yet grippy. Plus, it felt good to the brothers and other people who gave their input. That brought them one step closer to a finished product.

Winging It In Utah

 

Along the way to producing a disc, the pair had to come up with a name for their new company. The name they chose was Wing It Disc Golf. According to co-founder Jamin, “We picked Wing It Disc Golf because neither of us were pros. We were basically ‘winging it”. Eric, the other co-founder, is a serious birder, so the name turns out to be a nod to his other hobby.

The brothers also wanted to use birds and their flight to be themes for the names of their discs, but that turned out to be more challenging than they thought. Said Jamin, “We found that bird names were very popular choices for disc names. So much so that we felt it a little overused. “

 

High In The Sky

 

Instead of a bird-related theme, the name Stratosphere was chosen for their first mold. The Stratosphere was PDGA approved at the end of 2021, and the first run was selected for the Infinite Discs VIP club and sent out in early 2022. Since then, the Stratosphere was released to the public. The plastic for those first runs is called Lift Plastic, a nod to flight in general, birds and discs.

The disc-making duo is planning their next disc, which will be a higher-speed driver. They are still in the early phases of development for that disc, so it will still be a while before it is released. However, they have more lined up for the future besides new molds.

Currently, Jamin and Eric are experimenting with plastics, including adding agents into the Lift Plastic that will allow them make the lighter weight discs that are popular among beginning disc golfers. They don’t have that process down yet, so it may be a while before they can release lighter discs. Until then, they’ll keep experimenting with plastic and working on new molds.

Following A Dream

 

Eric and Jamin are brothers who share a love of disc golf. They truly enjoy playing with each other and with friends, and just having fun in the outdoors throwing discs! They also share the desire to grow a business, and both have a goal of providing discs for people who want to enjoy our sport. The two brothers are excited about the future of their company and the sport of disc golf. They love the growth that disc golf has seen the past few years, and are happy to be a part of increasing that growth. The fact that they are able to produce their discs here in Cache Valley makes chasing their dreams all the better.

Focus Friday X-Com Discs

Leave a comment

The weekend is here, and it is Memorial Day weekend as well, which is totally awesome! To me, this weekend has always been a signal that summer is here. And do I love the summer; the days are long, it’s easy to be outside (not have to wear so many layers), good memories, the days are bright, and disc golf is so much more enjoyable in the warm weather.

This Focus Friday we will will focus on an entire brand: X-Com. So from now till Monday, you can save 30% on all X-Com disc. You’ll need to simply use the discount code: FOCUSXCOM.

X-Com Discs

X-Com Discs is a manufacturer that has been in the disc making business for a while, since 2006. They started off making ultimate discs and other gear. However, in 2020, they began to make disc golf discs. These first molds are pretty solid as well, easy to throw, and well made. Check out their website to learn more about them, or this post from disc golf reviewer.

At the moment, there are 7 molds approved by the PDGA, and six of them are available for purchase on our site:

Zion Distance Driver

Helios Fairway Driver

Dawn Midrange

Eden Midrange

Griffon Midrange

Bennu Putt & Approach

There are two plastics that X-Com produces; Basic and Durable. The naming system is pretty easy to distinguish which is which. The Basic plastic is the base plastic that is low cost and gives a good idea as to what a disc does. While the Durable plastic is a premium plastic blend. This provides long lasting plastic, that is still quite affordable, that feels good in the hand. This is definitely my favorite of the two.

Focus Friday – Infinite Discs Alpaca

Leave a comment

Thats right, its Friday!! gotta get down on Friday. Another Focus Friday, this weekend we’re providing a discount code on the Infinite Discs Alpaca. Use the discount code FOCUSALPACA to save 20% on all Alpacas.

The Alpaca

This putt & approach disc is one of my favorite molds from the Infinite line. Its incredibly versatile, I bag so many of these in various plastics. It works excellently as a putter, it works wonderfully as an approach disc. I’ve been able to get this disc to fly a large variety of lines. I’ve seen it fly completely dead straight, and to fly quite stable, as well as to hold a turnover line. I love this mold.

Check it out on our website to read other people’s opinions regarding this mold, here. This is described as the quintessential beadless putter. It presents a deep rim in line with a traditional putter feel. Quite capable of carrying your workload with ease.

The Discount Code

You can select your disc by clicking here. Simply add as many Alpaca discs to your shopping cart as you want, then BEFORE you click to checkout, look below the shopping cart. Right below the shopping cart is a box for Discount Codes. Click there and paste the code, FOCUSALPACA, into the box. Then proceed to checkout and you’ll get the discount.

Focus Friday – Stratosphere

3 comments

Happy Friday everyone! We have another Focus Friday discount code available for you today. This code will save you 25% off all Wing It Disc Golf Stratospheres. Simply use the promo code: FOCUSSTRATOSPHERE. Maybe with this disc, you will then throw so far that it is goes out of this world! That would be cool to see.

Well, for those that do not know, the Stratosphere is the second layer from the earth’s crust. It is just after the troposphere, which contains the air that we breath. The cool thing about the stratosphere is that airplanes work to get into it for cruising. This has a lot less turbulence than the troposphere.

So, maybe, Wing It named their first mold “Stratosphere” because this disc somehow flies through the air that has the least amount of turbulence! Woah, that would be incredible if a disc could actually avoid turbulence. I’ve played on some windy days, and I’ve seen multiple air bounces and drops within just one throw. It can be annoying.

Wing It Discs Stratosphere

Well, unfortunately the name of a disc doesn’t have any affect on its flight characteristics. But it is fun to think on the “what if…”. The Stratosphere is a relatively friendly disc for anyone to use. It is easy to throw, which helps beginners to achieve good distance and increase their confidence. All the while, it isn’t so understable that it loses consistency or becomes difficult to throw without turning over. I find that this mold is in that sweet spot that allows most every disc golfer to throw it and rely on it. Providing a disc that most everyone can enjoy throwing.

For me, this flies nicely. Not quite the flight path as depicted on our site. When I throw it, it has a little bit more fade to it. This is is quite pleasing to me as it is a relatively straight fairway driver for me. I find it capable of doing all the lines that I want it to do, hyzers and anhyzers. There has even been some good success with rollers, I don’t much like rollers as I suck at them. Overall, this is a pretty solid first disc from a company who has entered the market and learned about the manufacturing process as they went along creating the mold/disc. If you haven’t you should check them out on their website. They’ve got some fun blogs to read through.

The Discount code

Here is the deal, head over to our website and select the Stratopsheres that you want and any other item that you want or need. Once everything is in your cart, you can apply the discount code FOCUSSTRATOSPHERE and get 25% off all Stratosphere discs 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.

Newly Stocked Infinite Discs X-Outs

One comment

X-outs are pretty awesome. For those who do not know, an X-out, or Factory 2nd, is a disc that during the manufacturing process ran into some sort of imperfection. These imperfections can be large or small, the disc can have one or many. However, regardless of these imperfections, the disc will still fly just as good a “perfect” disc. What does this mean for you, you may wonder. It means that you can get X-out disc at a discounted price. Which helps you to save money, and still throw the disc that you want with just as good of a flight as the “perfect”.

We have recently added a lot of new Infinite Discs X-Outs to our disc selection. So, if you like X-Outs, check out our most recent restock of our Infinite Discs X-Outs:

Aztec in Splatter S-Blend and I-Blend

The Aztec is a speed 10 driver, flying straight with a little bit of fade at the end. Don’t let the speed 10 fool you, the Aztec will bring unexpected distance and accuracy to your game. This disc has a skinnier rim than the big distance drivers, making it more comfortable for most disc golfers. The Aztec is said to be a longer Exodus or Sphinx.

Tomb in I-Blend

The TOMB is a flat-topped, low-profile, putt-and-approach disc with a comfortably smooth, beaded rim. The Tomb has just the right amount of stability to cover ground while threading the needle on approach shots, whether thrown forehand or backhand. It can also be used as a crossover mid-range, driving putter, or to hold the line while putting for distance or in moderate winds.

Exodus in Splatter S-Blend

The Exodus by Infinite Discs is a stable, controllable fairway driver. The comfortable rim design and manageable speed are perfect for players at all experience levels. The Exodus is a trustworthy disc on the fairway and excellent for navigating wooded courses.  It has a precise, long flight pattern with a consistent fade, plus it can also handle all the power you can give it for long-distance flights. All Infinite Discs branded discs are manufactured by Innova Champion Discs.

Alpaca in Splatter S-Blend

The Alpaca is the quintessential beadless putter. While the Infinite Discs Cohort has a somewhat low profile rim, the Alpaca presents a deeper rim for more of a traditional putter feel. Whether thrown at the basket or lofted high for approaches and drives, the Alpaca will carry your workload with ease.

Pharaoh in Swirly S-Blend

The Pharaoh is the quintessential distance driver, built for a high speed release and maximum distance. The fade is not overpowering, making this a distance driver that will work wonders even for intermediate players. Throw the Pharaoh off the tee when you need to cover as much territory as possible. Rule your local disc golf course with the Pharaoh!

Centurion in D-Blend Glow

The Centurion is a workable fairway driver. It is a straight-flying, precision driver that will fit into the bags of both novice and professional players. All players can count on the Centurion to hold whichever line they put it on with only a slight end fade. It is a workhorse control driver for precise placement on the fairway.
