Welcome back to another Focus Friday, where we look at a certain mold or brand, and give you a discount so you can try it out for yourself. Today, we are taking a closer look at the Estonian manufacturer… Disctroyer
Disctroyer was created by two disc golfers who were searching for a way to make quality discs that would be color-coded for easy selection and top performance on the course. They worked to perfect their desired plastic blends to feel exactly how they wanted, then worked on their color and design coding to become the first company with color-coded discs.
These are the colors for the different discs, as determined by the largest, outside color on the flight plate: WHITE = Distance Driver YELLOW = Fairway Driver RED = Mid-Range BLUE = Putt & Approach
The stability of the disc is indicated by the use of the following symbols on the center of the flight plate: CIRCLE = Straight Flight STAR = Overstable Flight PLUS SYMBOL = Understable Flight

The next set of Discraft special Ledgestone edition discs are now available! See the full selection HERE, and see each individual mold available below.
The Focus is the perfect disc for disc golfers who really like to concentrate before throwing their disc in the chains. With a Discraft stability rating of .5, this slightly overstable putter provides a gentle fade and pinpoint accuracy for approach shots.
The Wasp is one of the more popular overstable midrange discs. This is a great disc for windy conditions and strategic fading shots. The Wasp has a Discraft stability rating of 1.5.
The Discraft Forceis one of the more overstable drivers, with a stability rating of 2.0. This disc has a wide rim (2.3cm) and travels at very high speeds providing maximum distance for big arms. The Force was built for power throwers looking for more distance, and is Discraft’s fastest flying overstable driver. This discs is excellent for big forehand bombs. If you throw with force, this is a disc you’re going to want in your bag.
The Heathas incredible glide and is very easy for newer disc golfers to get distance with. This disc excels on straight line finesse shots where you need distance and long controlled turnover shot.
The Discraft Zoneis a slim putter with a thick rim (1.2cm) that gives you something to hold on to. This is a very overstable putter that is good for headwinds, strategic fades, forehand throws, flick putts, and slamming into chains at just the right angle. Many Discraft enthusiasts will have a Zone in their bag as a putter that gets them out of a situation where a Flick, or sidearm putt is their only option. Being so overstable, this disc can handle the torque that a Flick will put on it!
The Raptor is speed 9 disc with a flat top and overstable finish. It is designed to slice through the air in any weather conditions for reliable flight. You’ll find that the Raptor feels extremely comfortable as a forehand and backhand driver.
The Discraft Undertakeris a moderately overstable driver released in the summer of 2016. This disc offers some turn in flight but will finish with a manageable fade. The Undertaker will take on headwinds and offer a flight that can be utilized for both backhand and forehand throws.
The Punisheris a very fast distance driver that performs best when it is thrown with plenty of power. You should expect extra glide from the Punisher whether you’re throwing backhand or forearm.
The Challengeris a tall overstable putter with a deep rim and a tiny bead. It has a Discraft stability rating of 1, and as an overstable putter is able to handle long approach shots without turning over. This putter is popular for advanced disc golfers.
The Discraft Vultureis described as a beat in Predator that is less overstable and offers more glide. This fairway driver has excellent control and is stable enough to manage moderate headwinds.
The Discraft Nukeis one of the most popular distance drivers in the world. This fast flying driver has an ultra-thick rim (2.5cm) and maintains maximum speed for a long time. While this disc is ultra-fast, it is relatively stable for power throwers and had a Discraft stability rating of just 1.6. This is a favorite of Discraft pros like Brodie Smith and Ezra Aderhold.
The Surge is one of Discraft’s signature drivers. This is an outstanding mold, great for intermediate and professional players. The Surge is a fast flying disc with a moderate sized rim. It has a degree of high speed turn, incredible glide, and a healthy amount of low speed fade. The Surge performs well for both backhand and forehand throws.
The Buzzzis one of the most popular midrange discs in the world. This consistent, reliable, and stable disc will perform exactly how you want it to. With powerful throws the Buzzz will hold any line you put on it. With light, level throws it will fade slightly.
The Roachis a straight flier with extra glide. This disc is crafty in avoiding danger while incessantly pursuing chains. Just point and shoot. It’s beadless too and feels great in the hand.
Disc golf has been gaining popularity for a while now, and starting and running a successful disc golf league can be a great way to bring the community together and promote the sport. In this blog, we will discuss the steps you can take to start and run a successful disc golf league, including advertising, costs, locations, and getting the word out.
Step 1: Determine the Format of the League
The first step in starting a successful disc golf league is to determine the format of the league. Will it be singles, doubles, or a mix of both? Maybe a women-only league? How many rounds will be played, and how many courses will be used? Will there be a handicap system in place? You could put the choices up for vote, or just decide yourself.
Another format question to consider is what divisions you will offer. Since you’ll have players with different skill levels, you’ll want to think about having different divisions so people can be competitive. Consider if divisions for women or juniors will need to be included.
Step 2: Choose a Location
Once you have determined the format of the league, the next step is to choose a location. Look for a course that is easily accessible and has enough space for the number of players you expect to participate. You may also want to consider factors such as parking availability, restrooms, and concessions.
One other thing to think about with the location is how busy the course might be at the time you want to run your league. If you aren’t familiar with the course, either visit it at the day and time you want to run your league, or ask around to find some locals who know the course and can tell you when the course gets busy.
Step 3: Determine the Costs
Running a disc golf league does come with costs, so it is important to determine these upfront. Some costs to consider include league fees, course fees, and prizes. Selling bag tags is a good way to raise money for the league. Another fundraiser option is to run a trophy-only tournament where money is collected from registration fees, but only trophies are given out. Keeping a dollar or two from league registration on a weekly basis is another option to raise funds.
Determining the cost to play at the league is something to figure out in advance. We charge $5, which is all given out to division winners. Our club is located in a city with a University, so we have many students who play in our leagues. Because of that, I started offering a free division. I didn’t want the cost to prevent someone from playing. You don’t win anything in that division, but you can still participate with the club.
Step 4: Advertise the League
Once you have determined the format, location, and costs of the league, it’s time to start advertising. Use social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get the word out about the league. You can also create flyers and posters to distribute at local disc golf shops and courses.
Step 5: Communicate with Players
As players sign up for the league, it is important to communicate with them regularly. This can be done through email, social media, or a dedicated website. Let players know when and where the league will be held, what they need to bring, and any special rules or guidelines. Keeping people informed about upcoming events is a great tool for keeping people engaged in disc golf.
Step 6: Run the League
Once the league is up and running, it is important to manage it effectively. This includes keeping track of scores, enforcing rules, and communicating with players regularly. Consider using a dedicated league management software or app to make this process easier. We’ve started using Udisc for our league and it makes the process of handling scores a lot smoother.
I prefer to use a spreadsheet on a laptop that I can take to league. I enter the names, divisions, and bag tag numbers as people sign in. Then after league I can enter the scores and sort to determine winners and give out bag tags. I also have a printed sheet of paper for people to use to sign in at the beginning.
One necessary part of league is to make sure everyone knows the rules for the course. If the rules aren’t on the tee signs or somewhere on the course, have a printed copy available to hand out.
Step 7: Offer Prizes, Awards, and Additional Chances to Win
Offering prizes and awards can be a great way to keep players motivated and engaged in the league. I encourage the sale of bag tags by offering prizes for bag tag holders in the form of Closest to the Pin (CTP) competitions on a couple holes. Players can choose to pay for additional CTPs to participate in other competitions. Occasionally I’ll use club money to buy a gift card to a local restaurant and have a CTP for the card. Inexpensive prizes like candy bars can be given out for ‘awards’ like the person with the OB’s or Bogeys or Birdies.
Optional Ace Pots are a fun addition to a league. Our Ace Pot is $1 to enter, and our Super Ace Pot costs $5 to enter. If no one gets an ace that day, the ace pots rolls over to the next week and continues to grow. (Our Super Ace Pot is currently sitting at around $1,300!)
Starting and running a successful disc golf league takes time and effort, but it can be a great way to promote the sport and bring the community together. By following these steps and staying organized and communicative, you can create a fun and engaging league that players will want to come back to week after week.
Welcome back to another Focus Friday, where we look at a certain mold or brand, and give you a discount so you can try it out for yourself. This weekend we look at a popular discs made by Kastaplast… The Berg
Did you know that Berg is Swedish for mountain? Now you do.
This disc is known for its lack of glide yet it’s efficiency and high-speed stability. This slow and straight flighter is an incredible disc for off-the-tee or approach shots. It can be very effective during windy conditions as well.
Here is what Kastaplast has to say about the Berg – “this mold is designed for distinct shots, where you don’t need to worry about the disc gliding far passed the basket. The disc features an ergonomic thumb track that is prominent on the top side while not noticeable at the bottom. This makes it feel very different from any other putter.”
