Infinite Discs is happy to welcome newcomer, STORM Disc Golf, to the disc brand market!
It all began with someone who not only loved disc golf but wanted to weave that love into the fabric of their family life. This individual wasn’t new to the game; they had traversed the globe, soaking in the sport at major events. With a dream to make their own mark on the disc golf world, they embarked on a journey that started with a 3D printer and some CAD software, shaping ideas into tangible prototypes.
The road wasn’t always clear—there were challenges, as with any good endeavor. But then, a partnership with Gateway Disc Sports became the wind beneath their wings. Storm Disc Golf became more than just an idea; it became a retailer for Gateway’s products.
The company’s soft launch on July 14, 2018, was a milestone. Based in Lubbock, Texas, Storm Disc Golf is more than just a business—it’s a reflection of the community spirit that thrives in this part of the country. It’s about loyalty, compassion, and the enduring friendships that are the hallmarks of disc golf culture.
Storm Disc Golf isn’t just about selling discs; it’s about inviting players into a family—the disc golf family. When someone purchases from Storm, they’re getting a product steeped in the values of its founder, where every disc tells a story of community and camaraderie.
If you find yourself out on a course with a Storm disc in hand, remember, it’s more than a game. You’re part of a larger story, one that’s rooted in the community and the love of the sport.
So give Storm Disc Golf a look. It’s not just another disc golf company; it’s a local endeavor that celebrates what the game is all about—bringing people together, one throw at a time.
Storm has recently introduced their first three discs which include a distance driver, a Mid-Range, and a Putter. Let’s take a quick look at those three discs…
The first distance driver by Storm Disc Golf is the Jet Stream which features a relatively wide 2.3 cm rim width which places it around a “speed 12” flight rating. When thrown with power, it has a little turn to the understable side, but then finishes with a steady fade. When thrown with less power, it will be a consistently overstable driver. The flight numbers are comparable to the very popular Destroyer by Innova, so it has the potential to be a very popular driver for experienced players.
- Speed: 12.0
- Glide: 5.0
- Turn: -1.0
- Fade: 3.0
The Eye refers to the “Eye of the Storm” and is a basic, dependable mid-range disc for all short range drives and approaches on the fairway. It is a wide diameter mid-range, and should feel comfortable for players of all experience levels. It has a slight dome and a low profile rim height, so it slides easily out of the hand. It is design for very straight, precision flight.
- Speed: 5.0
- Glide: 5.0
- Turn: -1.0
- Fade: 1.0
The Crater is a very unique putter to introduce to the market. When it comes to putters, there are a lot of them on the market, and it helps to stand out. The Crater features a thumb track on the top of the disc, which already puts in into a unique category, but the top isn’t just flat– it is a bit of a puddle-top which makes it even more unique. That means that the center of the disc is lower than the rim. It has an overstable finish, so it is more of a “into the wind” putter and short-range approach disc. Or, if you like power putting at the chains, this may be the disc for you.
- Speed: 3.0
- Glide: 2.0
- Turn: 0.0
- Fade: 3.0
It will be fun to watch and see what Storm Disc Golf comes up with next. Give them a try and let us know what you think!
