Focus Friday

Leave a comment

Another week has come and gone, and this Focus Friday is all about the Yikun Twin Swords.

This is a overmold 12 speed distance driver. The disc’s rim is pretty comparable to other 12 speeds, resulting in a comfortable grip. This is a stable disc, making it fairly easy to throw and get some good distance. It has a pretty straight flight path with a little curve out before it’ll fade out.

Once again, we’re making another stamp available for you to make the Focus Friday all that much more interesting! Check out this stamp, the Chinese Warrior, adding it to our Infinite Discs Warrior collection. Use the promo code FOCUSTWINSWORDS to get 20% off this weekend.

You can select your disc by clicking here. Simply add as may Twin Swords discs to your shopping cart as you want, then BEFORE you click to checkout, look below the shopping cart. Right below the shopping cart is a box for Discount Codes. Click there and paste the code into the box. Then proceed to checkout and you’ll get the discount.

Here is a screenshot to help you out, though it doesn’t necessarily show a Twin Swords in the cart, or the 20% discount– it’s just a generic visual to help you find the discount code box:

We hope that you love throwing the Twin Swords by Yikun. If you’ve thrown the disc, feel free to share what you think of this distance driver. Thanks!

STAY TUNED for our next Focus Friday for another chance to try a featured disc at a nice discounted price!

Focus Friday Tresspass

One comment

Happy Friday, its time for another Focus Friday. This week, we’ll focus on the Dynamic Discs Trespass.

This is a high speed overstable distance driver. This disc is fairly consistent with its flight path, exhibiting a slight curvy line. Throwing it in a tailwind the disc is reliable enough to maintain the same flight path. Throwing it in a headwind the Trespass will handle it just like most overstable discs. All the while giving you that same slight curvy flight path.

We’re making another awesome stamp available for this Focus Friday. You can pick up the VIP Stamped Trespass, only 800 were made. So keep an eye on it, as they’re being added today. Head on over to InfiniteDiscs.com/Dynamic-Discs-Trespass to select your trespass. Once everything you want is in your cart, you can apply the discount code FOCUSTRESPASS and get 10% off all Trespasses in the cart.

Note: After placing your discs in the shopping cart and before checking out, click on the “Discount Code” box under the shopping cart and enter that code. Then proceed to checkout.

FOCUS FRIDAY – The Mantra by Thought Space Athletics

One comment

For our Focus Friday this week, we are going to spotlight the debut disc release by Thought Space Athletics. THE MANTRA was PDGA approved on October 17th, 2019 and has since been introduced into the disc market in three plastic types: Ethereal plastic (a limited edition run for the VIP Club), Ethos, and Aura. Let’s take a look at the Mantra!

MANTRA by Thought Space Athletics

The Mantra is a straight-to-understable driver which is designed to be easily managed for players of all skill levels. If you’re a newer player or don’t have a lot of arm speed, then you should still be able to handle the Mantra for great distance on the course. It could be compared to discs like the Innova Valkyrie, or the Discraft Heat. The plastic is durable yet somewhat tacky for a great feel.

MANTRA FLIGHT RATINGS

Speed: 9.0

Glide: 6.0

Turn: -2.0

Fade: 1.0

Here is a video look at the MANTRA by professional player, Drew Gibson. Keep in mind that Drew is known for his power and he admits that this particular disc is not really the best option for him, except as a roller. If you’re a power thrower, then the Mantra would turn more noticeably and become a roller utility disc.

For the next week, until the 1st of February, you can use this promo code to get yourself a MANTRA for 10% off:

CLICK HERE TO SHOP FOR THE MANTRA.  Simply add the Mantra to your shopping cart, then BEFORE you click to checkout, look below the shopping cart. Right below the shopping cart is a box for Discount Codes. Click there and paste the code into the box. Then proceed to checkout and you’ll get the discount.

We hope that you love throwing the Mantra by Thought Space Athletics, and we look forward to their next disc release!.

Best Disc Golf Driver?

Leave a comment

What is Best?

When it comes to disc golf drivers, there are many hundreds of different molds from dozens of different brands. Some are quite similar in purpose and design, while others have slight variations that give them a more unique feel and differing flight characteristics. When trying to judge “the best” disc golf drivers, it is a complicated task because the best driver for any given player is a disc that is “tuned” to that player’s throwing style, strengths, and weaknesses.

A player with a slower arm speed will find that a slower-speed fairway driver will probably be much easier to control and will even fly further for them than a high-speed driver that is designed in a way that requires more speed than that player can muster. Somebody who throws with a lot of speed and cocks their wrist in a certain way might find that overstable discs fly better for them while understable discs crash early onto the ground.  There are many little factors that go into a player’s throw, and different drivers can exaggerate or negate those factors.

Thus, the use of words like “the best” really amount to “best for you”. But if you want to measure the popularity of discs, meaning that those discs seem to work wonderfully for larger numbers of players, then disc sales figures are a very useful tool.

Here are the best-selling drivers (both fairway drivers and distance drivers) at Infinite Discs in the year 2016. They are arranged in descending order, from number one through number ten. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments.

Infinite Discs Top-Selling Drivers for 2016

  2. Innova TEEBIRD (speed 7)
  3. Innova WRAITH (speed 11)

  10. Discmania DDX (speed 12)

Some new drivers from 2016 that really made an impact for being so new on the market were the Discmania DDX, the Innova Colossus, and the Westside Destiny.  We’ll watch 2017 closely to see what trends fall into place with disc golf drivers.
