Top Selling Discs–Q2 and Q3 of 2018

We had a very busy summer here at Infinite Discs! How busy? Well, busy enough to not post about the best selling discs of the second quarter. But now the weather is cooling down, and so is the disc golf season. So instead of just posting about Q3, today I will be discussing the top selling discs in each disc classification of Q2, Q3, and both quarters (the last 6 months) combined. The latter I think is especially interesting because those 6 months make up the majority of the disc golf season.

With so much data to get through, this post will be heavy on data and a bit lighter on the analysis.

Top 10 Overall Q2

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Firebird
  3. Innova Aviar
  4. Discmania P2 Psycho
  5. Innova TeeBird
  6. Innova Thunderbird
  7. Innova Wraith
  8. Westside Harp
  9. Innova Shryke
  10. Discraft Buzzz

Top 10 Overall Q3

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Aviar
  3. Innova Sonic
  4. Discmania P2 Psycho
  5. Innova Firebird
  6. Discraft Buzzz
  7. Innova Wraith
  8. Innova TeeBird
  9. Innova Thunderbird
  10. Dynamic Discs Judge

Top 10 Overall Combined

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Aviar
  3. Innova Firebird
  4. Discmania P2 Psycho
  5. Innova TeeBird
  6. Discraft Buzzz
  7. Innova Wraith
  8. Innova Thunderbird
  9. Innova Shryke
  10. Innova Sonic

After being knocked off the top in our last two articles, the Innova Destroyer is back as the best selling disc overall. And the Discmania P2 made a pretty significant drop finishing as the fourth best selling disc in all three charts. Those who haven’t been following the world of professional disc golf and tour series discs are also probably shocked to see the Innova Sonic on this list but Innova and Garret Gurthie have brought it back with some very popular signature editions. Other than that, none of the names on these top charts are new comers.

Top Distance Drivers Q2

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Firebird
  3. Innova Wraith
  4. Innova Shryke
  5. Innova Valkyrie
  6. Infinite Discs Pharaoh
  7. Innova Boss
  8. Innova Tern
  9. Innova Beast
  10. Innova Orc

Top Distance Drivers Q3

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Firebird
  3. Innova Wraith
  4. Innova Shryke
  5. Innova Valkyrie
  6. Infinite Discs Pharaoh
  7. Innova Boss
  8. Innova Beast
  9. Innova Tern
  10. Dynamic Discs Trespass

Top Distance Drivers Combined

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Firebird
  3. Innova Wraith
  4. Innova Shryke
  5. Innova Valkyrie
  6. Infinite Discs Pharaoh
  7. Innova Boss
  8. Innova Beast
  9. Innova Tern
  10. Dynamic Discs Trespass

A couple of notes for the Distance Driver category. The new Infinite Discs Pharaoh has cracked into what has proven to be a pretty consistent group of discs. Obviously being an Infinite Discs exclusive disc, it will be interesting to see if this new high speed distance driver will stay in these top charts as the new release hype begins to wear off. One other noteworthy result is the Innova Orc cracking into the top 10 in Q2. This was a first appearance for the Orc, and it was just outside the top 10 in Q3 (12th).

Top Control/Fairway Drivers Q2

  1. Innova Teebird
  2. Innova Thunderbird
  3. Innova Leopard3
  4. Discmania FD Jackal
  5. Innova Leopard
  6. Infinite Discs Sphinx
  7. Innova Roadrunner
  8. Innova TeeBird3
  9. Latitude 64 River
  10. MVP Volt

Top Control/Fairway Drivers Q3

  1. Innova Teebird
  2. Innova Thunderbird
  3. Innova Leopard3
  4. Discmania FD Jackal/Innova Leopard
  5. NA
  6. Innova TeeBird3
  7. Discmania CD2
  8. Infinite Discs Exodus
  9. Innova Roadrunner
  10. Latitude 64 River

Top Control/Fairway Drivers Combined

  1. Innova Teebird
  2. Innova Thunderbird
  3. Innova Leopard3
  4. Discmania FD Jackal
  5. Innova Leopard
  6. Innova TeeBird3
  7. Innova Roadrunner
  8. Infinite Discs Sphinx
  9. Infinite Discs Exodus
  10. Latitude 64 River

Mostly familiar names in mostly familiar places in the Fairway Drivers. The new Infinite Discs Sphinx joined the charts and just like the Pharaoh, only time will tell if it is here to stay as a top seller. Another new name here is the Discmania CD2 coming in 7th in Q3. The CD2 has been a popular disc in the Discmania world, but this jump into the top chats was likely fueled by the release of the Dana Vicich Roaming Thunder CD2. The Discmania FD made a drop similar to the Discmania P2 in the overall chart by coming in as number 4 after finishing first the previous quarter. It is also interesting to see the exact same top 5 discs in the same order in all 3 charts other than a tie for fourth in Q3.

Top Midrange Discs Q2

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc3
  3. Innova Mako3
  4. Innova Roc
  5. Hyzerbomb Mortar
  6. Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
  7. Innova Gator
  8. Innova Rat
  9. Discmania MD3
  10. Infinite Discs Chariot

Top Midrange Discs Q3

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc3
  3. Innova Mako3
  4. Innova Roc
  5. Infinite Discs Anubis
  6. Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
  7. Innova Caiman
  8. MVP Deflector
  9. Discraft Comet
  10. Discmania MD3

Top Midrange Discs Combined

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc3
  3. Innova Mako3
  4. Innova Roc
  5. Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
  6. Hyzerbomb Mortar
  7. Innova Gator
  8. Discmania MD3
  9. Discraft Comet
  10. MVP Deflector

In the midranges we see several new releases making some waves. The Infinite Discs Anubis, Innova Caiman, and MVP Deflector all made debut appearances in the third quarter. The MVP Deflector even performed well enough in Q2 to make it onto the combined top 10. Also similar to the Fairway Drivers, the top 4 were consistent across all three charts. In a category that is comparatively low-selling, it will be interesting to see if these three new releases will maintain their high sales numbers.

Top Putt and Approach Discs Q2

  1. Innova Aviar
  2. Discmania P2 Psycho
  3. Westside Harp
  4. Dynamic Discs Judge
  5. Dynamic Discs Warden
  6. Gateway Wizard
  7. Innova Nova
  8. Latitude 64 Pure
  9. Dynamic Discs Deputy
  10. Axiom Envy

Top Putt and Approach Discs Q3

  1. Innova Aviar
  2. Innova Sonic
  3. Discmania P2 Psycho
  4. Dynamic Discs Judge
  5. Dynamic Discs Warden
  6. Innova Nova
  7. Westside Harp
  8. Gateway Wizard
  9. Latitude 64 Pure
  10. Axiom Envy

Top Putt and Approach Discs Combined

  1. Innova Aviar
  2. Discmania P2 Psycho
  3. Innova Sonic
  4. Dynamic Discs Judge
  5. Westside Harp
  6. Dynamic Discs Warden
  7. Gateway Wizard
  8. Innova Nova
  9. Latitude 64 Pure
  10. Axiom Envy

Other than the Innova Sonic making a “super-sonic” jump to the top of the charts (too cheesy?), the names on these charts are very familiar. The only really notable change to me is the Westside Harp dropping from number 3 in Q2 all the way down to 7 in Q3. It will be interesting to see if this is the start of a trend or just a seasonal drop.

Top Disc Golf Discs of Q2 2015

The first half of 2015 is over. The disc golf industry continues to grow and evolve. In the first six months of the year, Infinite Discs has added 47 new disc models and countless number of new plastic types for existing disc molds. New discs and plastics generally sell best, but many of the older traditional Frisbees continue to find top spots in terms of overall popularity.

What are the best disc golf discs in 2015?

According to our sales figures, the majority which are online and include regions all around the United States, these are the top selling discs for the hot selling spring months of April-June:

Top Distance Drivers

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Boss
  3. Innova Valkyrie
  4. Innova Tern
  5. Latitude 64 Saint
  6. MVP Inertia
  7. MVP Photon
  8. Innova Wraith
  9. Innova Beast
  10. Vibram Lace[/box]

Innova dominates distance driver sales, and holds the top four spots. The Destroyer is not only the most popular selling distance driver, but it is our number 1 selling disc period. While no particular plastic for the Wraith and Beast sell significantly well, the large number of available plastic types keeps these discs in the Q2 top 10.

Top Fairway/Control Drivers

  1. Innova TeeBird
  2. MVP Volt
  3. Innova Leopard
  4. Latitude 64 River
  5. Innova Thunderbird
  6. Dynamic Discs Felon
  7. MVP AMP
  8. Vibram Trak
  9. Axiom Crave
  10. Latitude 64 Trident[/box]

With the exception of the TeeBird which is our #3 selling disc for the quarter, fairway drivers typically don’t sell quite as much as distance drivers. For this quarter’s stats, Latitude 64 River sales numbers are likely down from what they should be because for a few weeks Dynamic Distribution was out of the River in its most popular selling plastic, Gold Line. We couldn’t sell what we didn’t have in stock.

The Vibram Trak, which is on it’s way out of production, made the top 10 and while the Latitude 64 Trident filled the bottom spot for Fairway/Control drivers. It ranks 77th overall for all discs sold by Infinite during the second quarter of 2015.

Top Midrange Discs

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc3
  3. Dynamic Discs Truth
  4. Innova Mako3
  5. Innova Roc
  6. Discraft Buzzz OS
  7. Discraft Buzzz SS
  8. Discraft Comet
  9. Dynamic Discs Justice
  10. Latitude 64 Claymore[/box]

For those who have played disc golf for a while, it’s no surprise that the Discraft Buzzz is still the top selling midrange, and our number 2 selling disc overall. It’s their Midranges, especially the Buzzz family, that keep Discraft sales up. Discraft sales numbers were likely inflated for Infinite Discs as we are one of the exclusive dealers for limited Ledgestone Edition discs.

Top Putt and Approach Discs

  1. Gateway Wizard
  2. Dynamic Discs Judge
  3. MVP Atom
  4. Axiom Envy
  5. Discraft Zone
  6. Latitude 64 Pure
  7. MVP Anode
  8. Innova Aviar
  9. Prodigy PA-3
  10. MVP Ion[/box]

The Gateway Wizard is still our most popular selling putter despite the fact that we had supplier break downs that kept our stock from staying where it should have been. During this quarter the Wizard was our 5th most popular selling disc overall, just one spot ahead of the DD Judge.  Finding its way in the top ten, the MVP Ion was our 41st most popular disc for the quarter. With four of the top 10 putters manufactured by MVP, this fast growing disc manufacturer shows how mainstream GYRO is becoming in the disc golf world. The PA-3 is the only Prodigy disc that has made any of our top 10’s during the second quarter.

Top Selling Plastic Types

  1. Innova Champion
  2. Innova Star
  3. Latitude 64 Opto
  4. Innova DX
  5. MVP Neutron
  6. Latitude 64 Gold Line
  7. Innova GStar
  8. Discraft Elite Z
  9. Axiom Neutron
  10. Dynamic Discs Lucid[/box]

Innova is still the leading disc manufacturer and produces four of our top selling plastics, including the top two. Latitude 64’s two major plastics also made the top 10 along with Dynamic Discs Lucid (which is the same plastic as Latitude 64 Opto, just branded differently). MVP and Axiom Neutron plastic also made the top ten and would have ranked even higher if our system didn’t separate them as different plastic types due to the variatons in branding.

The #1 selling disc plastic for the first half of 2015 is Innova Champion, fueled in large part by hot sales of the Champion Thunderbird, Teebird, Mako3, Roc3, Tern, Valkyrie, Destroyer, and Krait.

Star plastic is the #2 selling plastic, primarily because the Star Destroyer is such a hot selling disc. We sold more than three times as many Star Destroyers as the next most popular Star plastic model. Other top Star plastic discs include the TeeBird, Foxbat, Wraith, Tern, Boss and Mako.
