Introducing: Lucky Discs
If you hop on a boat leaving New York City and travel across the Atlantic, you might pass through the English Channel and into the North Sea. If you continue your journey, you might pass near Denmark and into the Baltic Sea. Traveling north out of the Baltic Sea you will enter the Bothnia Sea. Near the west coast of the Bonia Sea is the city of Pori, Finland.
Pori is home to one of the oldest Jazz festivals in Europe. The city has a local food called “porilainen” (which is a sausage-based type of sandwich), and a church building that dates back to the 13th century. And Pori is home to Lucky Discs.
Lucky in the USA
Although we like to carry more disc golf brands than anyone on earth, it isn’t very often that we get to have a visit from representatives of the brand. That was the case when Pekka and Andy stopped by our shop/warehouse to say hi and show us their discs. We enjoyed our visit with them, and wanted to feature them in our blog series about the different brands that we carry. Let’s learn about Lucky Discs!

Introducing Lucky Discs
Although they are not the newest disc golf brand around, they are still new by disc manufacturer standards. Lucky Discs was officially founded just three years ago, in 2022, by Tero Pesola and his team. As long-time disc golf enthusiasts, the team wanted to design and create stylish discs that reflect their vision for the sport. From that idea, Lucky Discs was born.
With the goal of creating unique discs instead of just copies of other disc, the folks at Lucky decided to get their discs manufactured in Finland. And they got some assistance from local disc golf pro, Kai Vesa. With a manufacturer and a pro on their team, they got to work creating perfect discs for the disc golf community.
Birth of a Brand
In May of 2022, the first mold from Lucky Discs, 
the Money Shot, was officially PDGA approved. The Money Shot is a beefy beadless approach putter that can handle big arms for precision approach shots, and is a great utility disc for everyone.
After the Money Shot, Lucky got two other molds released. The Bank Robber is their control driver that is available in their premium plastics. The Treasure Hunt is a high-speed driver with a ton of glide (picture a Destroyer, but with more glide).
A Mold By Any Other Name
The naming convention for their molds is simply rooted in real-life rounds. Certainly, all of us have been hunting for the treasure of an ace! Many of us have robbed our buddies of a victory by executing the perfect hole. And another name for a winning shot is a Money Shot. It will be fun to see what other themed names their team dreams up out on the course!
So far, the hot seller for Lucky is the Bank Robber in Premium plastic. In fact, Premium is their most popular overall plastic. It is extremely durable and feels great in the hand, and it is favored by power players. Their other plastics include Basic and Ultrium.
Coming Soon…
Soon to be added to the Lucky Discs line is a stylish midrange disc. They expect it to launch soon, and fill an important niche for the brand. It will be perfect for short drives and approach shots.
As for the future of the brand, they say that things are looking great. They have been receiving encouraging feedback from U.S. disc golfers and retailers. Moving forward they will continue to court American buyers, and continue to supply the European market. They are aiming for strong growth, believing that there will always be a solid demand for high-quality, stylish discs.
The Future of Disc Golf
They are just as optimistic about the future of the sport. Although disc golf growth has fluctuated the past 20 years, it has steadily climbed. As more countries discover disc golf, our community will grow. A great example of this global sport is the 2025 World Championships being held in Finland. It is the first time that Worlds has been held outside of the US.
“Disc golf is a sport for everyone”, Lucky Discs founder Tero Pesola said. “Every player can set their own goals, and there is always something new to learn.”
When asked what makes Lucky Discs unique, Pesola said, “The uniqueness of Lucky Discs is based on a genuine desire to do things the way we would want them done for ourselves – out of love for the sport.”
Infinite is sure that any brand with that empathetic approach and sincere attitude is welcome in disc golf!
