The four stamps will be stamped on a variety of molds across several brands. The stamp that sells the best, wins! The final round typically lasts a month, or can end early if one stamp sells so much that it leaves the others behind.

Let’s take a look at the four stamps that will proceed to the final round:

FOCUS FRIDAY – The Mantra by Thought Space Athletics

One comment

For our Focus Friday this week, we are going to spotlight the debut disc release by Thought Space Athletics. THE MANTRA was PDGA approved on October 17th, 2019 and has since been introduced into the disc market in three plastic types: Ethereal plastic (a limited edition run for the VIP Club), Ethos, and Aura. Let’s take a look at the Mantra!

MANTRA by Thought Space Athletics

The Mantra is a straight-to-understable driver which is designed to be easily managed for players of all skill levels. If you’re a newer player or don’t have a lot of arm speed, then you should still be able to handle the Mantra for great distance on the course. It could be compared to discs like the Innova Valkyrie, or the Discraft Heat. The plastic is durable yet somewhat tacky for a great feel.

MANTRA FLIGHT RATINGS

Speed: 9.0

Glide: 6.0

Turn: -2.0

Fade: 1.0

Here is a video look at the MANTRA by professional player, Drew Gibson. Keep in mind that Drew is known for his power and he admits that this particular disc is not really the best option for him, except as a roller. If you’re a power thrower, then the Mantra would turn more noticeably and become a roller utility disc.

TOP TWENTY TUESDAY – JANUARY 7TH 2020

28 comments

In case you missed the Top 100 best-sellers of 2019 at Infinite Discs, check out the newly posted charts and stats HERE.

But today, we look back at only the past week of sales for the Top 20 Tuesday chart. Our customers decide these rankings through their purchases– we do not alter the results for any reason. This chart covers the last week of sales and is broken down by disc model and plastic type.

Top Twenty Tuesday for January 7th, 2020

#1 – D-Line P2
#2 – Sublime FREETAIL
#3 – DX X-Out AVIAR
#4 – Discraft Special Blend LUNA
#5 – R-Pro PIG
#6 – Apex FREETAIL
#7 – ESP BANGER GT
#8 – Star DESTROYER
#9 – ESP ZEUS
#10 – ESP ANAX
#11 – ESP BUZZZ
#12 – Eternal FREETAIL
#13 – Swirly S-Line FD
#14 – Z Line ZONE
#15 – DX Color Glow ROC3
#16 – GStar DESTROYER
#17 – Star ROADRUNNER
#18 – Star WRAITH
#19 – K3 REKO
#20 – Classic JUDGE

The biggest stand-out this week is the new FREETAIL driver by Mint Discs which hit the #2 spot in Sublime plastic and two other spots (#6 and #12) with the two other premium plastic blends. That’s a nice debut!  The other spots mostly shuffled around with discs that regularly appear on the chart, since the first week of the year, and January in general, is slower for disc sales.

Here is a look at how many times different brands appeared on this week’s chart:

–> Each week we’ll invite you to leave a prediction for a certain chart position on next week’s TOP TWENTY TUESDAY report. The person to predict that chart position correctly in the comments will win a $10 gift card for the Infinite Discs website.

WINNER – The #10 spot this week was taken by the ESP ANAX by Discraft. It looks like nobody picked that as the possible #10 position, so we don’t have a winner this week.

The Top 100 Selling Discs of 2019

It is now 2020 and the number disc golf molds continues to increase every year. In this post we will take a look at the top disc golf discs based on annual sales data from 2019.

Graph Showing Best Disc Golf Discs by Sales

There they are, the Top 100 selling discs of 2019! With each disc, there is an arrow and a number. This represents how many places up or down the disc moved from 2018. For example, the #12 Thunderbird is down 4 places from 2018’s results, meaning in 2018 the Thunderbird was in the #8 spot for the year. We added this so that you can see if the disc is trending up or down, and by how far.

The Destroyer takes the #1 spot again, like it has for many years now. The Zeus was the closest competitor, taking the #2 spot. These are two very similar discs, is the Destroyer actually the best, or is it all about marketing? Do you think the Zeus will overtake the Destroyer in 2020 to become the top disc golf disc?

The Pig had the biggest movement up. It now holds the #27 spot for all of 2019. That’s up 187 spots from 2018. The #42 Berg and the #56 Reko also made giant leaps this year.

There were also several discs that were in the Top 100 of 2018, but did not make the chart here.  Sadly, some of the most noticeable falls were:

Mortar (▼278)
Rat (▼108)
Deflector (▼103)
P1x (▼102)
Captain (▼101)
Myth (▼94)
Chariot (▼89)
MD4 (▼83)
Sonic (▼83)
PD (▼74)
Defender (▼71)
Dagger (▼67)
Justice (▼60)
Sheriff (▼56)
Enforcer (▼54)

Top Disc Golf Discs by Brand

Number of 2019 Top Selling Disc golf discs by brand.

This is how many times a particular brand/manufacturer had a disc on the chart. Innova took the lead with 31 discs. Discraft took second with 20 discs. MVP & Dynamic Discs tied for third place with 9 discs each. Based on the number of discs per brand that made the top 100, Innova is the top disc golf brand of 2019.

Now we’ll take a look at the types of disc golf discs that made the Top 100 chart in 2019. 2019 Top selling disc golf discs by type.

Control Drivers took the first spot, then Putt & Approach discs, then Distance Drivers, and finally, in a distance fourth- Midrange discs.

Typically, we see that distance drivers sell best, and while 4 of the top ten were distance drivers, there were more fairway and putter molds in the top 100 than distance drivers.
