No BS Product Review – Mando Klank T-Shirts

A few weeks ago, Joey over at Mando Klank reached out to me to ask about advertising on this site. I’m always flattered by those requests as it means that what I’m doing here is reaching a lot of people. I’m also very leery about adding advertising to the Mind Body Disc brand. I’m not … Read more

No BS Product Review – Hydro Flask

There’s a lot of crap in this world. Most of it is for sale. If you believe all the ads you see, everyone promises to make you taller, better looking, healthier, smarter, and the envy of all of your neighbors. Because of this, the number of times I am disappointed in a product once I … Read more

The Dynamic Discs Breakout

I first saw a Dynamic Discs Breakout as part of my player’s pack at the Glass Blown Open.  My first question to the people at the merch table was, “Do you have any in heavier weights?”.  Turns out the Breakout is the newest addition to the “easy to use” line from the Emporia based disc company.  It’s … Read more

No BS Product Review – The NutSac

Deep, not wide. In my life, one of the rules I’ve set for myself is “Deep, not wide”.  This is a simple way to remind myself that I want to be really good at a few things, not mediocre at a bunch of them.  It applies in a lot more ways than that, but that’s the … Read more

Justice Has Been Served

Breaking story from the AP news wire… Today, a public outcry was heard from the disc golf community.   Disc golfers from around the country are rallying together behind a common cause.  They are speaking out in unison against a wrong that has been done to them over the last several years.  This outrage has been growing … Read more

Just Another Hero? – The Latitude 64 Spark

It’s faster than a moderately quick squirrel. It’s stronger than a stiff and blustery headwind. It spike hyzers over trees in a single throw. It’s not a bird or a plane…  It’s the new Latitude 64 Spark, Dave Feldberg’s new signature disc.  It has a snazzy, sparky stamp and a super heroish name.  I can see … Read more

Ode to a Golf Disc – The Westside Discs Bard

I learned a long time ago that the only time to make a judgement about a disc is after you, specifically, have thrown it.  Not before, not after.  The Bard would turn out to be no different.  This is the story of how I met the Westside Discs Bard. I had bought tickets to see … Read more

Are Lower Scores in Your Future? Ask the Seer.

  The room was dark and smelled of incense.  This was not the cheesy incense your college roommates used to use to cover up the fact that there was a 3 month old pizza under the couch.  This was the aroma of mystery itself.  Walking further into the room, a sense of something ancient overwhelmed … Read more

No BS Product Reviews – The Gateway Bullseye Basket

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but winter is coming.  I don’t mean “Winter is Coming” as in the totally bad ass TV show Game of Thrones is coming.  That won’t be here for a while.  I mean snow, ice, windchill, salted road, hard to play disc golf in an arctic tundra … Read more

Try It, You Might Like It! Part 1

Last week, I wrote a post outlining my top ten reasons no one should ever bash another company’s discs.  It is currently my most read post with over 4014 views so far.  I got some great feedback both here on the blog as well as back channel.  First, thanks to everyone who took the time to read that post and pass it along to friends.  Second, thanks for the mostly positive and supportive feedback.  Seems like we have all run into the jerk that I described in that post.

I was also encouraged to see how many people out there throw a mixed bag.  There was a time, not too long ago, where that didn’t happen on the scale that it does today.  While a lot of disc golfers still stick to just one company or family of companies (in the spirit of full disclosure I’m of one of them, but more on that in another post), more and more people are dipping their toe into the really rewarding waters of new plastic.

disc golf discs

I have a sickness.  I have an unexplainable need to buy and try almost every new disc that comes out.  That includes all plastic variations, all new rim configurations, and even new runs of discs that I hear fly different than previous ones.  I love new plastic.  I love throwing new molds.  I love feeling the plastic and blends that the newer companies are putting out there.  Like I said, I have a sickness.

Well, that said, I thought I’d share a list of discs you might like to try.  This isn’t a disc review article.  It’s just a list of discs that I’ve tried and thought were exceptional.  I think all of the companies deserve a try and I think they all make at least a few really great discs.  If just one person finds a new disc that saves them strokes, it will have been worth the time it took to write this!  Without further blabbering on my part, here is part one…..
