If you hop on Interstate 35E in Dallas and head south the road merges with 35W to become Interstate 35. Continuing south, you’ll pass through Waco and Austin before you arrive in the Texas city of San Antonio. San Antonio is home to several military bases, great Tex-Mex food, the Spurs basketball team, and the Alamo. And it is home to H13 Disc Golf.
New Disc Golf Brand
One of the newer brands in the market, H13 Disc Golf isn’t even a year old as a manufacturer. The brand started as an online retail shop in the middle of the summer of 2023 under the name Hole 13 Disc Golf Shop. From the beginning, their goal was to become a manufacturer. But first they wanted to learn the disc golf business. In early 2024 they acquired their first molds and began testing and production. The name Hole 13 Disc Golf Shop was shortened to H13 Disc Golf, and they officially launched as a brand on July 1, 2024.
H13 Disc Golf was started by Jericho and Jennifer Jimentel, who had a goal of living a higher quality, experience-driven lifestyle, hence the name of the company. Experiencing fertility struggles, the couple knew that the stress of their jobs was a factor in preventing them from starting a family naturally. They wanted to do work that they loved and that gives back. Although Jericho continues to work full time, Jennifer has scaled back her hours outside of H13 so she can dedicate more time to their new company.
Four Molds to Start
The plan for H13 Disc Golf was to release four molds at once. Those molds are: putter (Embark), approach (Companion), fairway (Adventurer), and distance driver (Wanderlust). These molds were designed for the average disc golfer. The most popular mold is the Wanderlust, which flies like it’s already beat in. They will be releasing their fifth disc soon, an overstable mid.
Most of the molds come in several different plastic types. They offer a base blend (Home Bound) and 3 premium blends: Night Bound (glow), Journey Bound, and Adventure Bound. Journey Bound is a premium, opaque blend. Adventure Bound is a gummier, translucent premium blend. Currently, only the Wanderlust is available in Adventure Bound, however the Companion will be available soon in that plastic.
Naming Convention
As you can tell, the mold names were chosen to reflect the founders’ desire to spend less time in the rat-race, and more time experiencing life! The names are centered on their thirst for adventure. Embark, Wanderlust, Companion, and Adventurer all communicate a philosophy of exploration of the world around us. That desire to be outside and enjoying nature is the very embodiment of the sport of disc golf!
Team H13
Although H13 isn’t currently big enough to sponsor touring pros, they gladly support and sponsor many amateurs across the country. Their Sage Team is made up of around 30 amateur players. The owners attribute much of their growth to the team.
In addition to the Sage Team, H13 is working toward a partnership with an organization called Morgan’s Wonderland. Morgan’s has a theme park specifically created to accommodate people with disabilities. Part of Jericho and Jennifer’s mission is to give back to the community and raise money for different causes and Morgan’s Wonderland would be a great organization to do fundraiser events for.
Looking to the Future
In considering the future of disc golf, H13 hopes the sport will grow to the point where even more players can tour, without the financial burdens of living on the road. And for those who are content to play as an amateur, H13 Disc Golf hopes that more municipalities will support adding courses to make the spot more accessible to everyone.
Although H13 Disc Golf’s discs are only a few weeks old, they are optimistic about their future. They are a young brand with energetic and outgoing owners. The couple is developing a unique way to support players on their team with commission opportunities. They are also setting up a program for stamp artists so they can get paid per use of their art instead of a flat fee, giving the artist a great potential upside for their work. And they will continue to establish working partnerships with charitable organizations. They are truly Embark-ing on a fun Adventure!

DGA Mach Lite: Collapsible and portable, ideal for travel or backyard use. This basket is one of my favorites because of its convenience in transporting and efficient design. And it still catches discs fairly well for a cloth basket.
Basket Accessories –If they like to putt in the house or yard, a great way to keep the noise of the otherwise enjoyable sound of the disc hitting chains down is the Infinite Discs Chain Suppressor. Simply wrap the suppressor around the pole to reduce the noise and keep neighbors and roommates happy!
A rangefinder takes the guesswork out of the game, making it an essential tool for competitive players. Should you reach for a distance driver or fairway driver? Find the exact distance to improve your disc selection and success rate.

Revolve 20’x10′ Disc Golf Training Net – Large enough that you won’t have to worry about missing the target, it still fits inside a travel bag for easy transport.

Save their discs from water or tricky spots with reliable retrievers:

Golden Retriever: Excellent for water hazards or hard-to-reach areas. Just toss the retriever past the disc, then pull it in. You can even add more rope to extend your reach. Pro tip: wrap the rope around a separate spool instead of the retriever itself. Then you just have to unspool the amount you need, instead of the entire length of rope.
Disc golfers like to keep our discs organized, but don’t always take time to get something to keep them in some kind of order. Here are a couple gift ideas that they will love.
Storage Racks – Racks come in a variety of sizes and materials to neatly store and organize their disc golf collection. Eliminate those piles of discs with one of these racks or shelving systems.

Disc golf involves more than just throwing discs toward a basket. Players must familiarize themselves with rules, gameplay strategies, techniques, equipment, terminology, and even flight ratings. For beginners, understanding the variety of discs, flight numbers, and plastic options can feel overwhelming. Among these essential tools is the mini marker disc, a small but significant part of the game. Here’s everything you need to know about disc golf mini markers
What Are Mini Marker Discs Used For?
The primary role of a mini marker disc, often called a “mini,” is to indicate the position—or lie—of a thrown disc once it has landed. In disc golf, every throw changes the player’s position on the course. To continue play, the next throw must be made from the lie, which is the designated area behind where the previous disc landed.
If a player doesn’t use a mini, the lie is marked by the original disc, and the playable area is a rectangle measuring 20 cm x 30 cm directly behind it. When a mini is used, it is placed just in front of the disc (toward the basket). The disc is then removed, and the lie becomes the rectangle behind the mini. Using a mini marker effectively shifts the lie forward by about 8-9 inches, giving a slight advantage.
Are Players Required to Use a Mini Marker?
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) doesn’t require players to mark their lie with a mini in most situations. However, there are two exceptions:
Out-of-bounds discs: If a disc lands outside the boundaries, a mini must mark the new lie.
Rule-mandated adjustments: When a rule requires or allows a change in the lie’s position, the player must use a mini to mark it.
Beyond these exceptions, using a mini marker is optional. In fact, it’s possible to play an entire tournament without one. That said, mini discs are affordable, portable, and worth carrying—especially for competitive play.
Why Use a Mini Marker?
Using a mini marker has a few practical advantages:
Closer positioning: Marking your lie with a mini gives you a slightly closer position to the basket, which can be helpful in tight situations.
Consistent routine: Some players find placing a mini helps establish a rhythm before their next throw, allowing a moment to reset mentally.
Improved focus: Writing a motivational phrase or mantra on the mini can help players get into the right mindset.
Clearer visuals: A mini marker offers a smaller profile compared to a standard disc, giving players a less obstructed view of their footing.
While these benefits come down to personal preference, many players find mini markers improve their overall gameplay experience.
What Are the PDGA Rules for Mini Discs?
According to the PDGA’s technical standards, mini discs used in professional play must meet the following criteria:
Diameter: 7 to 15 cm.
Height: Less than 2 cm.
Beyond these specifications, there’s plenty of room for creativity. Mini discs can be made from a variety of materials, including plastic, wood, metal, foam, or even glass. Custom designs are also acceptable, as long as the mini complies with the size standards.
Common Questions About Mini Discs
Q: What is the purpose of a mini disc golf marker?
A: Its main function is to mark the lie, providing a clear and consistent spot from which to make the next throw.
Q: Are players required to use a mini?
A: No, except when marking out-of-bounds throws or adjusting the lie due to a rule.
Q: What are the benefits of using a mini disc?
A: Minis provide a slightly closer lie, help players maintain focus, and create a clear routine.
Q: What materials and designs are allowed for mini markers?
A: Any material is permitted, provided the mini falls within the PDGA’s size guidelines (7–15 cm in diameter and less than 2 cm in height).

Many people play disc golf for fun, without bothering to keep score. To those people, it is enough that they are spending time outdoors. However, some of us like to keep score when we play. It is a good way to gauge skill improvement. And if you’re in a tournament, you have to keep score.
Keeping score in disc golf is similar to ball golf: the player with the lowest score wins. This article will break down how scoring works in disc golf, highlighting some key terms and rules, whether you’re playing casually or competitively.
Key Disc Golf Scoring Terms
In disc golf, many scoring terms mirror those in ball golf, though there are a few unique twists. Here’s a quick overview of the basics:
Par: The expected number of strokes to complete the hole.
Birdie: Finishing the hole in one stroke less than par.
Eagle: Completing the hole in two strokes less than par.
Albatross: Three strokes under par.
Ace: A hole-in-one, where the disc lands in the basket on the first throw.
Hazard: A challenging area that incurs a penalty stroke; players may throw from where the disc landed.
Out of Bounds (OB): If a disc lands in a designated out-of-bounds area, the player takes a penalty stroke and throws from where the disc entered the zone.
Penalty Stroke: An extra stroke added due to a rule infraction or entering a restricted area.
For official tournament rules, the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) outlines the latest guidelines. Notably, as of 2024, every player is now required to keep score for the entire group, though they may have a caddy assist with this.
Scoring in Casual vs. Tournament Play
Disc golf scoring is straightforward: each throw counts as one stroke. At the end of a hole, players tally up their strokes for that hole and then add up all the holes for the total round score.
Casual Play
Most people play disc golf casually, often with friends, in a relaxed setting where rules around boundaries and hazards are loosely enforced. In this environment, scorekeeping is optional and often informal, focusing more on enjoying the game and the outdoors than achieving a perfect score.
Tournament Play
In competitive play, every throw counts, and rules are strictly enforced. Players keep each other accountable, with every participant on a “card” (group) tracking everyone’s score after each hole. Scoring can be done on a paper scorecard or through an app, and players confirm each other’s scores at the end of each round to avoid discrepancies.
Rules That Impact Scoring
Since there aren’t referees to enforce rules during tournament play, players and their card mates self-monitor for rule adherence. Breaking a rule typically results in a penalty stroke. Common infractions to watch for include:
Foot Faults: Incorrect footing while throwing.
Putting Violations: Not observing proper stance within the putting circle.
Courtesy Violations: Disrupting other players.
Failing to follow these rules can quickly add to your score. For more details, check out PDGA’s comprehensive rule guides on these topics.
Ways to Keep Score
Whether you’re playing a casual round or in a tournament, there are two main methods for keeping score:
Paper Scorecard: A simple, classic way to track strokes, where you write each player’s score for each hole.
Score keeping Apps: Many players prefer apps for easy tracking and automatic score calculation.
Apps are handy since they’re on your phone, making it easy to track scores wherever you go. Regardless of the method, keeping accurate scores helps build a fair and enjoyable disc golf experience for everyone involved.
By understanding disc golf scoring terms and rules, you’ll be well-equipped for your next round—whether it’s a laid-back game with friends or a competitive tournament!
When I first saw ads for the Mojoh Ryzer, I thought it was a great product idea. When I saw it in person, I was impressed by its design and light weight. When I got to try one, I was hooked! I like any disc golf product that makes my round a bit easier to play. The Mojoh Ryzer does that. In addition to reducing fatigue from constantly bending down to pick up your bag, I also found several instances where the Ryzer was a life saver – or at least a bag saver. I’m a big fan. In this blog I’ll review the Mojoh Ryzer bag stand.
An Attached Bag Stand
The Mojoh Ryzer is a bag stand that attaches directly to your bag. Its legs extend when needed, and retract when not in use. It weighs just 2.6 lbs and can be swapped to your other bags by purchasing an inexpensive hardware kit.
Using the Mojoh Ryzer
To use the Ryzer, simply pull the cord to extend the three legs that are recessed in the Ryzer base. Then set the bag on the ground and release the cord. When you’re ready to carry the bag again, just lift the bag and the legs automatically retract into the base. You can also flip a switch and the legs will remain extended until you manually release the switch. That may come in handy if you need to move your bag and don’t want to extend the legs again.
The motion of pulling the cord while setting your bag down didn’t take long to become automatic. After a couple rounds you don’t really have to think about it. And when you’re ready to move again, your bag is sitting nice and high, making it easy to grab and sling over your shoulder.
The Ryzer in Action
Depending on your bag and how you carry it, you might not even feel the Ryzer when your bag is on your back. Either way, the Mojoh Ryzer has attached padding that will cushion your back. I honestly didn’t even notice the Ryzer after just a few holes.
One concern I had was that of stability. Since your bag sits higher when using the Ryzer, I thought there might be tipping issues. Fortunately, the design of the Ryzer lends a lot of stability to the products. By orienting your bag so that the side of the Ryzer with two legs is on the downhill side, the bag is actually very stable on even steep angles.
I was able to test its stability on a hilly course in Southern Idaho (Bengal Ridge) and I intentionally sought out the steepest ground. The stand felt stable up to the point where even bags without a Ryzer might tip because of the angle. Although it does have its limits, you should still be able to use the Ryzer nearly all of the time. If you did have a situation where the ground were too steep or uneven, you could simply set the bag on the ground without extending the legs.
Benefits at the Course
One of the first times I tested the Ryzer was at a course that highlighted some of the benefits of using the stand. There were a couple holes that had sage brush, and the bag sat above the shrub. And on another hole the bag sat above the tall grass. This reduces the likelihood of picking up a hitchhiking bugs, like ticks or spiders.
On yet another hole on the same course, the fairway had a couple inches of standing water. I had no problem keeping my bag dry since it sat high above the water. It would do the same thing with early morning dew. And it will keep my bag out of the snow in the winter. It also kept my bag clean on the muddy holes.
Some Assembly Required
When you first get your Mojoh Ryzer you will have to do some light assembly, including attaching your bag to the Ryzer. There is an instructional video on the Mojoh Ryzer website that will walk you through each step. It also gives you some optional ways to attach it to your bag. It attaches differently depending on if you have a putter pocket in the front of the bag.
Once you get the bag installed, there is a video that tells you how to use it. That video shows you ways to use the Mojoh Ryzer on hills or when there are obstacles in the way. There is a separate video for maintaining and cleaning the Ryzer.
Perfect Product?
I like the Ryzer and plan to use one every time I’m not using a cart (which is a lot). I also want to point out a few things to consider when purchasing a Mojoh Ryzer: First, I had to make some adjustments to one of the legs shortly after I got it. This may be necessary to take up slack created with its first few uses. Either way, there is a video on the Mojoh Gear website that shows you the easy way to tighten the cables to make the legs extend to the correct angle. It only takes a few minutes.
Second, I recently had to make another adjustment recently after months of heavy use. I took the opportunity to tighten some loose-ish screws, as recommended in the video. Again, not difficult nor a big time commitment. You should plan on checking out your Ryzer occasionally, just to keep everything tight and in proper order. I just want people to know that you will have to do it from time to time.
Check Out the Mojoh Ryzer
Check out the Mojoh Ryzer and discover its many benefits. From making your bag easier to reach and lift, to keeping your bag out of mud, water and snow, the Ryzer is something that will make your disc golf life a little easier.
Last year we posted a survey asking you which disc you reach for if you want the longest drive possible. Well, we want to know if your farthest flying disc has changed, so we’re asking again. And like last year, we’ll randomly select a few of you to win a $50 Infinite Discs gift card. you can read last year’s results below. Then post your response to the questions:
What mold and plastic do you reach for when you want to get the longest distance possible (assume that wind is not a factor)?
About how far are you throwing on a max drive attempt?
Is your max drive a forehand or backhand?
Here are the results for last year.
Farthest Flying Disc Golf Discs
We’ll take a look at the top discs for backhand throws, forehand throws, and which disc was number one for certain distance ranges. We’ll also look at the top molds from the survey to find out the max distance drivers from each manufacturer. Here are the survey results!
Farthest Backhand Disc
Taking first place with the most people choosing this disc as their farthest flyer with a backhand throw is the Innova Destroyer. This perennial fan favorite regularly takes the title of most discs sold at Infinite Discs. It has been a hot seller since it was introduced a decade and a half ago. The speed 12 disc flight gives disc golfers a gentle turn with a solid fade, allowing for lots of power while still creating the S-curve that we love when we’re throwing for distance.
Spoiler alert: The top four molds for farthest flying backhand disc are the same as the top four forehand molds, but in a different order. Taking second place is the Infinite Discs Pharaoh. Third place goes to the Innova Wraith, with a similar flight to the Destroyer, but slightly lower speed. Forth place is the Infinite Discs Emperor, which also has a flight similar to the Destroyer. Rounding out the top five is the Discmania DD3, another mold whose flight delivers the long S-curve.
Top Five Farthest Flying Discs for Backhand Throws
Taking the top title for farthest forehand disc is, once again, the Innova Destroyer. I think it’s safe to say that this disc will go far for most players. The stability of this mold helps fight the torque off the tee that a forehand throw generates, so it can get a long flight and a reliable finish. The Destroyer’s little brother, the Wraith, picked up second place for forehands. Two Infinite molds occupy the third and fourth spots, the Emperor and Pharaoh respectively. The long-flying Discraft Nuke holds the last of the top five spots.
Connor has a couple tips to get MORE FOREHAND DISTANCE. Watch this video to improve your sidearm throw.
The Farthest Flying Discs for Each Arm Speed
In our survey we asked what is your max distance, then we took the disc you threw to achieve that distance. While the Destroyer was the farthest flying disc overall according to our survey results, not all of us have the arm speed to get a Destroyer Max Distance.
So what are the best discs for distance for beginner and intermediate players? This chart shows the flight range for max throws, and the most popular disc to achieve that distance.
Backhand Max Distance by Arm Speed
Low Arm Speed – Less than 300 Feet Total Distance
Although there are lighter-weight discs in the faster molds, I would expect to see a few different molds for the shorter max distances. For those of us who throw a max drive of less than 300 feet, the Innova Valkyrie is our most popular choice. The Valkyrie has a lot of turn and a mild fade. That extra turn helps players who don’t have the speed to generate the longer drives that more experienced players have.
Moderate Arm Speed – 300-350 Feet Distance
Another Innova mold was the preferential disc for those people who throw 300-349 feet. The Innova Mamba is an understable driver that can be thrown on a hyzer angle to achieve extra-long turnover drives. Thrown flat, the Mamba can be amazing roller disc, too. For more info, check out this list of best distance drivers for beginners.
Intermediate Arm Speed -350-400 Feet Distance Range
The disc at the top of the list for the 350-399 foot range is also the number one choice for backhand and forehand shots. The Innova Destroyer is what more people reach for overall, and for those who max distance is 350-399 feet. The Destroyer was easily in first place, winning by quite a margin.
Max Distance for High Arm Speed Throwers
The number one disc for people who throw 400+ feet was a close race. I would have assumed that the Destroyer would be in first place, but the Destroyer came in second, behind the most popular choice. Taking the top spot for the big arms is the Infinite Discs Pharaoh. The Pharaoh doesn’t fade as much as a Destroyer, but it has plenty of glide for some smashing drives. That mold is available in a variety of plastic types and weights, including some signature discs.
For the sidearm drivers out there, the Innova Wraith is number one among disc golfers who throw under 300 feet. The second place overall winner is a speed 11 disc with a glide, turn, and fade that is similar to the Destroyer. The Wraith was also the top disc for people whose max drives are in the 300-349 foot range.
Forehand Throws between 350 and 400 Feet
Extending the max forehand range to 350-399 feet we find the Destroyer once again on top of the list. Since this distance range was the most popular, it allowed the Destroyer to end up as the most popular forehand disc overall. However, it was not the most popular for the 400+ range.
Sidearm Throws 400+ Feet
For those players who can flick a disc more than 400 feet, their disc of choice is the Infinite Discs Emperor. The speed 12 Emperor was released in 2019 and has become a staple for many disc golfers. It has a lot of glide and a strong, reliable fade. People who can throw 400+ will appreciate the Emperor’s ability to keep from overturning, while allowing a nice s-curve. Lesser- distance players will find the mold is still excellent in lighter weights.
So far in this survey we have only seen a few different manufacturers mentioned. There were actually many brands that received at least one vote. Here are the top 10 manufacturers, with the total number of molds that people chose as their farthest flying disc.
It is never a surprise to see Innova at the top of any disc golf list. They have been around for four decades and offer more high-speed drivers than many smaller brands have total molds available. As we’ve seen in our annual State of Disc Golf survey, smaller brands are definitely taking an increasing amount of market share from Innova. However, Innova is still offers such a variety of discs that it will still end up on the top of lists like this.

If you’ve been playing disc golf very long odds are that you own a disc golf bag. Some of us gravitate toward a cart, but most of us use a bag to carry our discs and accessories.
Bags come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. They have different carrying capacities and serve different purposes. In this blog we’ll look at sales and product review data to find the best disc golf bags for 2023. We’ll look at the different bag types, from small bags up to backpack bags, and find out which bag is the best for each type of bag.
Types of Disc Golf Bags
There are bag sizes and types on the market to fit every need. Some of us are minimalist golfers who just need a bag big enough for a couple discs. Others of us carry backups for our backup discs and every possible accessory available. Most of us are somewhere in between those extremes. Let’s look at the bag types and what they do.
Small bags
This type of bag carries around 10 discs and maybe a water bottle. It can have a shoulder strap or attach to your waist. These are the smallest of bags, although some of them are still capable of carrying a lot of discs and accessories.
Large bags
You can hold up to 15+ discs in a large bag, with additional room for snacks or accessories. This size bag can be carried with a single shoulder strap, or backpack type shoulder straps.
Economy Backpack
If you like backpack style bags but don’t want to carry a lot of discs, then Economy backpacks are the way to go. Even though smaller than regular backpack bags, economy bags still carry a lot of discs and a few other accessories.
Backpack Bags
These are the largest bag choice. They can hold over 20 discs, with room for snacks, accessories, retrievers, and even stools or umbrellas. They have two shoulder straps that help you carry a lot of discs more comfortably
The Easy Bag is a minimalist bag and the perfect size for a quick round of disc golf when you only need a few discs. It is inexpensive, but made from a durable material. The Easy bag is popular with beginners, and more experienced disc golfers who just want a quick round with a few discs. Despite its small size, the Easy Bag can still hold 8-10 discs. Plus, it has a pocket for your phone or maybe an energy bar. The Easy Bag has a 4.8-star rating.
The Infinite Discs Tournament Bag holds 18-22 discs in its main compartment, and a few more in the putter pocket. It comes with a padded shoulder strap. The bag features room for two water bottles, and a pocket for accessories. It also has a scorecard pocket, and pockets for minis and pencils.
While not technically a bag, the Disc Tote is listed in the Large Bag category, and it deserves a mention. Capable of holding several dozen discs, the Disc Tote is perfect for organizing your trunk, closet, or wherever you store your discs. The Tote can be stacked to safely store even more discs! The pockets around the outside can be used to stash other goodies, such as minis. When not in use it collapses to just a few inches thick.
The Slinger Deluxe is the big brother to the Slinger bag. It has an increased disc capacity, a flat bottom so it will sit upright, a water bottle holder, and a zippered pocket for accessories. The Slinger Deluxe is an inexpensive backpack bag that holds a lot of discs and all the things you need for a round of disc golf.
The Dynamic Discs Commander is a great example of a quality bag at an affordable price. It has all of the features you’re looking for in a disc golf bag: space for 20 discs with room to spare for accessories or snacks. There is room for two large water bottles, and a large pocket that can hold a jacket or some backup towels. If you want a quality Ogio bag at a great price, check out the Commander.
H13 Disc Golf was started by Jericho and Jennifer Jimentel, who had a goal of living a higher quality, experience-driven lifestyle, hence the name of the company. Experiencing fertility struggles, the couple knew that the stress of their jobs was a factor in preventing them from starting a family naturally. They wanted to do work that they loved and that gives back.
