Best Disc Golf Roller Discs

Learn the Best Roller Discs and Win a Gift Card

In disc golf, having a variety of shot types gives you a real advantage whether you are competing or simply trying to beat your personal best. Every course presents different challenges, so the more shot options you have, the easier it becomes to navigate tight lines, low ceilings, and tricky fairways. One one shot that doesn’t come up a lot but is nice to have when you need it, is the roller shot. In this guide we will break down what a roller is and highlight the best disc golf roller discs based on surveys and sales data.

What Is a Roller Shot?

A roller is a throw designed to hit the ground at an angle and continue moving by rolling on its edge. Players use rollers for short, technical escapes or for long distance shots when they need to cover a lot of ground. Rollers shine when you are dealing with low ceilings, open fairways, or situations where an air shot is not ideal. The challenge is landing the disc at the correct angle because even a small bump or uneven patch of ground can send the disc in an unexpected direction.

Learning to Throw Rollers

Many players have never attempted a roller and are unsure how to start, while others rely on the shot whenever the opportunity presents itself. This guide focuses on distance rollers rather than short technical ones. Once you learn how to throw a clean roller, the results can be impressive. Some of the longest throws on the course come from well executed rollers, and the shot can quickly become a favorite tool in your bag.

Most of the discs commonly used for rollers have a high amount of turn and are considered understable. This makes it easier for players of all skill levels to achieve the angle needed for the disc to tip over and start rolling. With enough arm speed almost any disc can be used as a roller, but the molds listed below are the ones most frequently recommended by players.

Best Disc Golf Cart

disc golf carts
When I first started playing disc golf, I thought that the idea of using a cart was overkill. Bags aren’t that heavy and I had no problem lugging my Gorilla Boy Simian around the course. After I had been playing for a bit, I discovered that I had tons of discs sitting around that I never threw. I sold them all to a retail store and ended up with lots of store credit. That’s when I considered getting a cart.I liked my bag and preferred a cart that held my bag. That way I could easily remove the bag when I was playing a course that wasn’t cart friendly.  I settled on a Zuca Backpack LG, which easily held my large bag.I got the bag from the retailer when they were vending at a tournament that I was playing. After playing the first round of the day without the cart, I got it set up and used it for the second round. I was hooked!

I loved how easy it was to push/pull the cart around. It didn’t matter how many backup discs I crammed in my bag, nor how much extra food/water/accessories I wanted to take. The effort to move the cart around the course was the same. And it was minimal.

In this blog, I’ll discuss the cart options you have, and mention what I like and dislike about the cart.

Types of Disc Golf Carts

Disc golf carts generally fall into two categories: carts that require a separate bag and carts with built in disc storage. Carts that require a separate bag allow you to attach your current bag quickly, while carts with built in storage require you to move your discs into the cart, which can be inconvenient if you frequently play on courses that are not cart friendly.

Carts That Require an Additional Bag

ZUCA Trekker and Trekker LG Cart

The Trekker and Trekker LG are based on the ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG. The Trekker uses a 22 inch axle and holds 20 to 25 discs, while the LG uses a 24 inch axle and holds up to 30 discs. Both include a telescoping handle and a built in seat rated for up to 300 pounds.

  • Likes: Built in seat, no additional bag needed
  • Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, takes up significant transport space

ZUCA Compact Cart

A smaller, lighter option for players who carry fewer discs. It uses a 22 inch axle and includes a built in seat, though it sits lower than other models.

  • Likes: Easy to move, easy to transport, built in seat, low center of gravity
  • Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, limited storage space

ZUCA All Terrain Cart

A larger version of the Compact Cart with space for up to 32 discs, additional pockets, and interior storage.

  • Likes: Built in seat, plenty of storage
  • Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses

ZUCA Transit Cart

This model includes a built in disc bag with extra storage underneath, a 24 inch axle, and a built in seat. It holds up to 25 discs.

  • Likes: Built in seat, extra storage
  • Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, limited additional disc capacity

Frame Carts: Use Your Own Bag

Frame carts allow you to attach or insert your existing disc golf bag so your discs stay in the same place whether you are using the cart or carrying the bag. Some include seats while others do not, and they come in two, three, or four wheel designs.

ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG

These carts include a seat, telescoping handle, and water bottle holders. All storage comes from your attached bag. The Backpack uses a 22 inch axle and the LG uses a 24 inch axle.

  • Likes: Easy bag removal, built in seat
  • Dislikes: Large for transport, requires a bag purchase, limited storage

MVP Rover 2 Cart

A compact, lightweight cart with water bottle holders and a telescoping handle. It has a low center of gravity but no seat.

  • Likes: Easy bag removal, simple transport, good maneuverability
  • Dislikes: Requires a separate bag, no seat

ZUCA EZ Cart

This cart includes a shelf for your bag and extra storage underneath but does not include a seat.

  • Likes: Easy bag removal, extra accessory space, compact transport
  • Dislikes: Requires a separate bag

Rovic RV1D 2.0

A foldable push cart originally designed for ball golf. It holds any disc golf bag and includes a locking brake, storage space, drink holders, and an umbrella holder. It struggles on uneven ground when pushed forward but pulls easily over rough terrain.

  • Likes: Easy to push, many accessories available, compact when folded, convenient bag height
  • Dislikes: Non pivoting front wheel, accessory costs, small water bottle holders

BagBoy Disc Golf Quad XL Push Cart

A four wheel push cart with excellent stability, built in storage, a drink holder, and an umbrella holder. A handle mounted brake keeps it secure on hills.

  • Likes: Very stable, easy to push, higher bag position, built in accessory storage
  • Dislikes: Expensive optional seat, pricey accessories, non pivoting front wheels, small bottle holder

How to Choose the Right Disc Golf Cart

To find the best cart for your needs, consider whether you mainly play on cart friendly courses, whether you have enough vehicle space, how much storage you want, whether you plan to use it for tournaments, your budget including accessories, and whether you want a seat during rounds. Once you answer these questions, you can narrow your options and choose the style and color that fit your preferences.

Final Thoughts

Many disc golfers who invest in a cart say they will never go back, and with all the benefits they offer, it is easy to see why. Use this guide to find the best cart for your game and explore the selection at Infinite Discs. We would love to hear from you. Do you use a cart, and if so, which one? If not, which cart seems like the best fit for your needs, or what keeps you from getting one?

 

How to Get Sponsored in Disc Golf: A Complete Guide

Team Infinite disc golf player

Why Sponsorship Matters in Disc Golf

Sponsorship in disc golf is no longer reserved for elite touring professionals. With the sport’s rapid growth, companies are increasingly open to supporting local ambassadors, content creators, and rising competitors. Whether you’re chasing a full-time tour or simply want help covering tournament fees and gear, the path to sponsorship begins with intentional effort and a clear understanding of what brands are looking for. This blog will help you learn how to get sponsored in disc golf.

Build a Strong Social Media Presence

Sponsors want visibility, and your online platforms are the most direct way to offer it. Start by choosing one or two channels to focus on, such as Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok. Post consistently with interesting content. Share tournament recaps, practice sessions, disc reviews, and community events. Use high-quality photos and videos, and write captions that reflect your personality and passion for the sport.

Engagement matters more than follower count. Respond to comments, tag brands when you use their products, and interact with other disc golfers. This builds credibility and shows sponsors that you’re active and approachable.

Be Active in Growing the Sport

Sponsorship is not just about performance, it’s about impact. Volunteer at local events, help run clinics, mentor new players, and support your local club. If you’re involved in course maintenance, league organization, or youth outreach, document it. Brands love to support players who give back. Being a community builder shows that you’re invested in disc golf’s future, not just your own success.

Compete Regularly and Track Your Progress

You don’t need to win every event, but you should be active in your region’s tournament scene. Play in PDGA-sanctioned events, track your rating, and aim for consistent improvement. Sponsors look for players who are committed to growth and who represent their brand with professionalism on and off the course.

If you’re placing well or showing strong sportsmanship, mention it in your sponsorship pitch. Even if you’re not a top-tier player, your dedication and visibility can be valuable.

Find the Right Company to Approach

Start with brands you already use and believe in. If you throw discs from a specific manufacturer, wear gear from a certain apparel company, or use a particular bag, those are natural fits. Research their current team and sponsorship structure. Some companies offer tiered sponsorships, ranging from grassroots ambassadors to elite pros. Others may support players through product discounts, tournament reimbursements, or content collaborations.

Look for brands that align with your values and style. If you’re focused on growing the sport locally, a regional retailer or startup brand might be a better fit than a global manufacturer.

Craft a Professional Sponsorship Pitch

Introduce yourself, explain your disc golf journey, and highlight your achievements and community involvement. Include links to your social media, tournament results, and any relevant content. Be clear about what you’re offering, such as visibility, engagement, and event presence, and what kind of support you’re seeking.

Keep it concise and respectful. Sponsorship is a partnership, not a handout. Show that you understand the brand’s goals and how you can help them reach a wider audience. Find out if the company has a formal team application you need to submit, then fill out every section completely.

Follow Up and Stay Persistent

Not every pitch will result in a deal, but each interaction helps you refine your approach. If a company says no, ask what you can improve or whether they might consider you in the future. Keep building your brand, competing, and contributing to the sport. Sponsorships often come when you least expect them, especially if you’re consistently visible and valuable in the disc golf community.

Live Up to Your Commitment

If you do get a sponsorship from a company, make sure you follow through with everything you are required to do, and committed to do. Keep up on your social media posts, stay active in disc golf, live up to your promises. That will show show the company that you are serious about promoting their brand, and will lay the foundation for additional sponsorships.

Conclusion

Getting sponsored in disc golf requires more than just throwing far or winning tournaments. It’s about building a personal brand, engaging with the community, competing with integrity, and approaching companies with professionalism and purpose. By focusing on these areas, you’ll not only increase your chances of sponsorship but also deepen your connection to the sport and its growing culture.

If you’re ready to take the next step, start by evaluating your social media presence. Are you posting regularly? Are you showcasing your personality and passion? Then look at your local disc golf scene. Are you volunteering, mentoring, or helping grow the game? Finally, assess your competition record and identify brands that align with your style and goals. With persistence and purpose, sponsorship is within reach.

Disc Golf Weight Explained – Choosing the Best Disc Weight

Disc Golf Disc Weights

Why Weight Matters in Disc Golf

When it comes to choosing the best disc golf disc, getting the right weight is an important factor. The weight of a disc affects its speed, stability and the way it will fly. Understanding this relationship can provide a significant advantage in the discs you choose to purchase and throw on the course. We’ll start by explaining an important factor in disc flights: velocity.

Release Velocity and it’s Relationship to Distance

The faster you’re able to throw the disc, the greater your potential to get more distance. This provides a relationship between the release velocity of a throw and the distance the disc travels.

According to a Best Disc Golf Discs Youtube video, for every additional mile per hour in speed at release, there is an average increase of 7.2 feet in distance. So the easiest way to get more “arm speed” and throw faster is by increasing your release velocity with lighter weight discs.
Research shows that reducing the disc weight can lead to an increase in throw speed. For instance, shaving off 20 grams from a disc’s weight can enhance the speed by 6.5 miles per hour. Theoretically, this could result in an impressive gain of 47 feet in distance.

Lighter Discs for Big Distance

Lighter discs have proven their value beyond just theory. In fact, some distance competition world records were achieved using discs under 160 grams. Those are players who normally throw max weight discs. This shows that, with the right throw, lighter discs are capable of remarkable distances.

Disc Stability Also Matters

While light weight discs have potential for more distance, the flight dynamics of the disc can also change. Lighter discs, by their nature, tend to exhibit more turn, which can affect the intended flight path. To counter this tendency, it might be advantageous to choose a more stable driver or increase the weight. Increased stability allows for more consistent flight paths.

While the weight of the disc may not actually affect the discs stability, the fact that you are able to throw light weight discs faster will affect its stability.

Factoring in Wind Conditions

Disc weight makes a big difference when it comes to throwing in the wind. Lights discs are affected much more than heavier discs, simply because of physics. All other factors being equal, lighter discs will get blown around more than a heavier disc, since there is less mass to get moving. That goes for a head/tail wind, as well as a cross wind.

For headwind shots, the lighter discs will turn even more than if thrown without any wind. The opposite is true with a tailwind. In that case, it would be beneficial to throw a lighter disc.

Which Weight to Choose?

With a lot of disc golfers trying out popular discs from different brands, we thought that we would address the questions of disc weight. For some players, the weight of the disc is not particularly important as long as it flies the way that they want it to. But for other players, the disc weight is very important since they prefer the performance of heavier discs, or desire the easier distance that may come with lighter discs, etc.

Your weight choice should primarily depend on the disc you are purchasing and what you intend to use that disc for.

Choosing Weight for Putters and Midrange Discs

Because putter and midrange discs are used for control and not distance, in most instances you should choose heavier, near max weight discs.

Most disc golf putters have a max weight of 173-175grams. That’s the range of my putting putters. However, I have tried a lighter putter for longer putts, and it does make a difference, at my skill level.

Midrange Disc Weights

Some midrange discs have wider diameters, and thus the PDGA allows for heavier max weights. Large diameter mids like the Buzzz and Roc3 have max weights of up to 180 grams.

If you’re looking for something very overstable, you probably want a heavier disc, or at least something in the 165g plus weight range. If you want something that will glide a little bit more and not fall to the ground as fast, consider something lighter than mid weight for that mold.

Best Weight for Disc Golf Drivers

Disc golf drivers and their sharp rims usually have a maximum weight of 175 grams or less.

When it comes to choosing drivers, this is when the weight ranges really matters. The reality is that you will probably want a variety of different weights depending on your intended use for the driver. If you’re looking for big distance, use a lighter disc.

While I can’t usually tell the difference between a 170 gram, and a 173 gram disc, there is a noticeable difference between max weigh drivers and those in the 160’s. When a disc golf driver gets in the 150’s or lower weight range, there is a noticeable difference in the speed you are able to throw the disc and the way that it will fly.

If you have a tendency to “turn over” your disc, you probably want to stay away from light weight drivers as the heavier varieties will provide more consistency.

Some disc golfers choose to throw light weight but very overstable discs to get the best of both velocity and stability.

The real way to choose the right disc weight for you is simply to try your favorite driver in a number of different weight ranges to see which ones perform best for you in varying situations.

Lighter Weights for Beginners

Because new disc golfers do not have the arm speed to get a full flight out of disc, the best discs for beginners are usually light weight discs, at least in terms of drivers. Mid weight midrange discs are also recommended for newer players.

Sometimes factory second blemishes make x-out discs lighter than the non x-out version, so a factory second version is a way to get a lighter disc in the mold you are looking at.

Are the Weights Listed on Disc Golf Discs Accurate?

Here at Infinite Discs, we try to represent each disc as accurately as possible on our website by including a photo and the details for each disc. We decided years ago that we would trust the manufacturers when it comes to indicating the weight of their discs.

Most major disc manufacturers take the time to weigh the discs as they come out of the mold and painstakingly mark those weights in ink, with stickers, or embossed on the bottom of each disc. We trust that they have a well-established procedure for accurately weighing those discs as part of their manufacturing process.

Another reason is that different scales may give different weights. Our scale might not be the same as your scale, or the manufacturers scale.

DIFFERENT BRANDS AND THEIR WEIGHT DESIGNATIONS

We’ve seen a lot of players throw discs from a variety of manufactures. We’d like to address another important consideration when it comes to the procedures of those different brands. Innova, for example, used to mark their weights to the precise gram by writing the weight on the bottom of the disc in ink. Players who threw Innova or discs by other brands that use a similar procedure are able to pick the exact weight that they feel is perfect for them.

Innova has changed their method of indicating the weight, and they now

Like Innova currently does, Discraft puts a sticker on their discs that indicates a weight range. For example, they’ll put a sticker on a disc that says 170 – 172. That way, they are acknowledging that there will be some variation in weight for the discs produced in that batch. Other discs may be lighter and marked with weight stickers like 167 – 169, or heavier with 177+ (typical for mid-range discs like the Buzzz). Again, we assume that their range is accurate, but can’t promise that when weighed on somebody’s personal scale that it won’t fall a gram above or below the range that Discraft indicated.

Our Policy

When we list discs by companies that use a weight range on the disc or a sticker, we have chosen to be consistent in our data entry practices by simply listing the low number on that sticker. That is because our data entry system does not allow for a range, but wants a single number. Thus, a disc marked as 170 – 172 will be listed as 170.  A disc with a sticker saying 173 – 175 will be listed as 173.  The “max weight” for a Discraft driver would typically be listed as 173, but could actually weigh on the higher end of that range.

Other brands that use weight ranges include DGA, Viking Discs, Yikun Discs, and the new Active Baseline series of discs from Discmania (not individually weighed, but sold in a weight range).

WHAT IF THE WEIGHT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG?

While we’d like to believe that we live in a world where mistakes don’t happen, that is simply not a reality. While taking photos and adding thousands of discs per week onto our website, it is possible that some busy, tired employee here at Infinite Discs may type a weight in incorrectly. Usually we catch that error before the disc ships and we contact the buyer to make sure that they get a weight that they want. If the disc slips past another employee at the shipping station and the buyer receives a disc that has a factory weight that is different than what we entered, then we take care of the problem.

If we have entered the disc weight according the factory-marked weight, as indicated above, but the buyer believes it is still inaccurate or marked incorrectly, then we’re still happy to help the best we can, knowing that some busy, tired employee at the factory may have made a mistake. After all, nobody is perfect, and mistakes are always possible. We just want to clarify that we are doing the best we can to represent discs on our website exactly as the factory specified.

174g vs 175g

In the end, when disc weight becomes a hot topic of discussion or a complaint, we often find ourselves wondering if that gram or two was really going to make a difference in the player’s game. Would a 174g disc perform that much worse for an average player who claims that they absolutely must have a 175g disc? That’s an argument to be settled elsewhere. As disc connoisseurs, we can attest that here at Infinite Discs we have discs in our bags that straddle a lot of weight ranges, and they fly as well as we can throw them.

We hope that this information has been helpful in understand a little bit more about disc weights and how they effect flight. We hope you better understand how brands mark the weight of their discs, and how we at Infinite Discs work with those brands and trust in those manufacturers to indicate the weight of their discs so that our buyers can make an informed purchasing decision.

Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer

Hyzerline Training Tool

I’ve always been a proponent of having a disc golf basket for anyone who wants to improve their putting game. A convenient tool that allows you to practice regularly will lead to more confident and consistent putting during competition. When I was putting daily, I felt the most confident in my overall game.

But what about driving?

Field work is a great way to get in your reps and make adjustments to your form. However, it’s not without its drawbacks. First, you need space to throw. Unless you live next to a park or school, it may take time, and possible a long drive, to get to a good practice spot.

Second, once you throw, you have to go find and gather your discs, which can cut into your actual practice time.

Fortunately, there’s another option.

Hyzerline Disc Golf is a company that’s created a product to help you practice full-power shots from the comfort of your own backyard. It’s called the Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer.

The Hyzerline consists of a fairway driver attached to a braking line, with a small parachute at the other end that acts as a braking system. When you throw the disc (even at full power) the parachute slows it down and prevents it from flying too far. That means you can throw at any speed, even if you only have a small area to warm up.

Not only does the Hyzerline give you the freedom to throw at top speed, it also gives you feedback from each shot. The disc stays aloft long enough for you to see the nose angle, hyzer/anhyzer angle, and the direction you’re throwing. Then the braking system stops the disc, and you’re ready to pick it up for the next throw.

How to Use the Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer

To use the Hyzerline Disc Golf Trainer, uncoil the rope and set the parachute a little in front of, and slightly off to the side of, your throwing line. Then throw the disc as hard as you want. The trainer will take care of the rest.

If you have room for a longer flight path, you can place the parachute farther away to give the disc more time in the air. If that still isn’t enough, the Hyzerline includes a longer rope you can swap in for extended range.

To store the trainer, wrap the string around your pinky and thumb, crossing the loops over one another (see picture). Slide the coiled string off your fingers, and place it, along with the disc and parachute, into the included storage bag.

Since the entire setup is no bigger than a regular disc, you can even store it in your bag. It’s a great option if you want to warm up with some full-power throws before a round. Just uncoil the string and let ’er rip.
