NEW DISCS: June 19 – 15

Here is a breakdown of some of the latest molds that were released and restocked last week:

Infinite Discs Emperor

The Infinite Discs Emperor has been out of stock for a few months, so we were pleased when this mold arrived at the warehouse. These came in Metal Flake Glow C-Blend plastic and were stamped with a special edition stamp. This is a very popular plastic due to its durability and unique flight ability. There are still a few available, get yourself one HERE 

This is a moderately overstable, powerful distance driver that can enhance the accuracy of your distance game. 12 | 6 | -1 | 3

Discraft Raptor

We released a lot of Z Glo plastic Raptors this week, featuring several stamps. Raptors in love and Raptors in space are the most recent stamps that you can find on these molds. Get yourself a Raptors in love stamp HERE, and purchase a Space Raptor stamp HERE

The Raptor is a speed 9 disc with a flat top and overstable finish. It is designed to slice through the air in any weather conditions for a reliable flight. You’ll find that the Raptor feels extremely comfortable as a driver to use with both forehands and backhands.

Prodiscus Jokeri X

The Jokeri has an older brother now… the Jokerie X. If you have never heard of this small brand, check out our most recent blog post introducing the Prodiscus brand. The Jokeri is a highly rated putt and approach disc that people find works very well in difficult weather conditions. The Jokeri X is very similar to this, but features a bead along the rim. If you like beaded discs, this one is for you… purchase one HERE.

The JokeriX is a beaded version of the Jokeri. This is a highly versatile disc that offers excellent control and a comfortable grip. You will find that it is a reliable overstable disc that performs well in a variety of situations.

TSA Mantra Restock

The Thoughspace Athletics Mantra is back! They are restocked in all three plastics; Aura, Ethereal, and Ethos. Each has a new, unique stamp that you’ll want to add to your collection. Get a restocked Mantra HERE

The Mantra will fly straight at a manageable speed for new players, but will have a more understable flight for more experience throwers. It can be used for precision drives, anhyzer lines, and even power rollers. It’s an all-purpose driver with great glide that feels and flies wonderfully.

 

Infinite Discs Anubis Restock

Being one of the best mid-ranges on the market, the Anubis is perfect for beginners and experienced players alike. We have released Run 11 of this mold in I-Blend plastic. Capitalize on this restock HERE

The Anubis is a straight-flying, all-purpose, precision mid-range disc that will fit into the bags of both novice and professional players. Every player can count on the Anubis to hold a line, whether thrown for shorter approaches or for longer distances off the tee.

The Discmania MD5 MidRange Disc

One comment

To wrap up the 2018 year, Discmania released the MD5 mid-range. While it has become common for mid-range discs to have a wider diameter than longer drivers, the trend in 2018 was to release smaller diameter mid-range discs, particularly more overstable discs. The MD5 is one of those smaller diameter, overstable mid-range discs, and it is a very precise one.

Released with a “First Run” stamp as well as with a stock stamp, the MD5 joined the ranks of similar discs released during the 2018 year– perhaps most closely related to the Innova Caiman. It has a profile quite similar to a Caiman, but in flight it does not get quite as much distance.  Rather than a smooth, drawn-out fade, the MD5 has the tendency to drop its edge and fade steeply out of the sky once velocity is lost. That provides a dramatic and precise overstable fade for great accuracy when thrown by experienced players.

It is not a disc that would be friendly to beginners, but is designed for experienced players who are looking for an easily controlled, short-range, overstable mid. Where discs like the Dynamic Discs Justice used to stand out in this category, Discmania has added to their lineup with this strong contender in the MD5.

  • Speed: 5.0
  • Glide: 3.0
  • Turn: 0.0
  • Fade: 4.0

Other End-of-Year Plastic Releases by Discmania

Also to end the 2018 year, Discmania released a couple of runs of their most popular discs in fun, premium plastics. While this is not the first time these discs have been run in these plastics, they are getting a lot of love from Discmania fans. The available of these discs in these plastics is sporadic, so it is good to grab them while they are available. It is hard to know when the next run will come.

Introducing the New TRAVELER by Full Turn Discs

One comment

It’s always fun to see new disc manufacturers pop into the scene, vying for attention in a market full of new discs and fueled by an exploding mass of players. FULL TURN DISCS comes onto the scene as a partner with the well known Finnish disc maker, PRODISCUS.

With their flagship mold, the TRAVELER, Full Turn introduces another overstable distance driver into the market. Here are the flight ratings on the Traveler:

  • Speed: 9.0
  • Glide: 4.0
  • Turn: 0.0
  • Fade: 2.0
  • Primary Use: Distance Driver
  • Stability: Overstable
  • Recommended Skill Level: Everyone

The Traveler is available in two plastics: Priority and Express. Express is the premium plastic choice and is the more solid, while Priority is a more translucent blend, but both feel comfortable in the hand. When picking up the discs, you will notice a familiarity if you’ve thrown Prodiscus plastic before. Though not built for huge distances, it fills a nice niche between fairway and distance drivers where control is important. When released on a low flight path, it can hold a very steady line before a sudden fade. When thrown with more of a hyzer, it can fly a solid curve. It could be used for similar purposes as the popular Saint or Undertaker discs.  Take the Traveler for a few flights and see what you think!  And we welcome FULL TURN DISCS into the fold!
