Plastic Types and Descriptions

Fuzion combines the durability of Lucid with an advanced polymer to provide players with additional grip. It is a non-transparent blend of plastic that is slightly more durable than the Lucid version.  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs Fuzion X-Blend

Fuzion X-Blend is a special blend to celebrate Ricky Wysocki's 2017 World Championship win. The base of the plastic is Fuzion, but we added 20% of a different plastic type which enhances the grip and gives it more elasticity/flex. It's not as soft and gummy as the Fluid or Lava plastics.  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs BioFuzion

The 750 Series is Prodigy's top of the line plastic. A very durable plastic with excellent flight characteristics, it also features a great tacky, grip that is good for all conditions. While Prodigy has released a description for this plastic it isn't on the market at this point and we have yet to try it out ourselves.  [BACK TO TOP]

Prodigy 750G Series

750G Plastic is Prodigy's most advanced and premium plastic yet. This high-tech blend of premium resins will deliver unparalleled performance and predictability. 750G Plastic takes the incredible durability & firmness of 750 Plastic and steps it up a notch. For fans of the 400G Plastic, this plastic feels similar but has increased firmness and will require even more time to break in. Feel the difference.  [BACK TO TOP]

Trash Panda Premium

Trash Panda Premium is a flexible, durable plastic blend made from 100% recycled TPU plastic. This material is perfect for use as a workhorse midrange, offering great feel and high quality. The discs are embossed with the model on the back instead of having hot stamps, ensuring better future recyclability. Additionally, Trash Panda Premium discs have an unmatched ability to absorb and showcase vibrant dyes like no other, making each disc unique and eye-catching. [BACK TO TOP]

Vibram X-Link

This rubber-based compound will hold up like no other material to the stresses and obstacles found on the course.

Vibram X-Link comes in three flexibility options, all of which provide this incredible durability, but each offering a different feel in the hand and different properties when interacting with the course environment:

• X-Link Firm - Stiff, firm feel
• X-Link Medium - The original: Moderately firm, but with some extra grip and flex
• X-Link Soft - Gummy and flexible. Easily bends end-to-end
• X-Link Granite - Tie dye, multicolored look
• X-Link Glow - Designed to glow brighter and longer than any other disc on the market. More supple than X-Link Medium  [BACK TO TOP]

Elite X plastic has been a favorite of many players for years, and continues to be a preferred option for players looking for great grip and tackiness with improved durability. A great option for those used to Discraft's Pro D plastic but who are looking for a quaility upgrade at a great price.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discraft Jawbreaker

Discraft's Jawbreaker plastic bridges the divide between firm and tacky. A firm blend that allows for a consistent flight and minimal wobble while also giving that comfortable feeling of a plastic you can really lock onto. Discraft added some polymers to the blend to ensure good durability and long life so you can expect these to last quite awhile. As if all of this wasn't enough, the colors are amazing! All Jawbreaker discs are made with bright color combinations blended in to the base plastic, giving them a marbled look that is really flashy and fun.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discraft Putter Line

Discraft Putter Line plastic was a hybrid of the original Pro-D base plastic but upgraded for increased durability and grip. The Putter Line Soft is a more flexible, softer version for players who prefer extra soft discs. This 2021 update made the putters feel better for use in differing weather conditions and made it more of a mid-grade plastic blend.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discraft Rubber Blend

This soft-plastic blend is revered for its superb grip and comparable flight and durability characteristics to Discraft's Jawbreaker, albeit without the distinctive marbled appearance. Rubber Blend Plastic, often presented in serene pastel shades, stands out for its enhanced gumminess and flexibility, providing a superb tactile experience without sacrificing the tacky grip that players love. It strikes the perfect balance between grip and firmness, making it an incredibly durable alternative to the Putter Line plastic. [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs Classic Blends

Dynamic's popular putters are loved for many reasons but one is surely that people love the plastic. There are four blends of material available:

• Classic - Classic plastic is the perfect combination of tackiness and firmness for players looking for a stiff golf disc.
• Classic Blend - Classic Blend is the perfect blend of grip and flexibility in the Classic plastic series. If Classic Soft is too soft and Classic is too hard, reach for the blend!
• Classic Soft - When feel and grip are the most important elements, reach for Classic Soft. This blend of plastic gives the disc that perfect feel and fit in your hand.
• Classic Super Soft - Until it is legal to put a magnet in a disc, Classic Super Soft will be the best solution for sticking to the chains. The amount of flexibility in this plastic is almost unbelievable. This ability to absorb impact makes this disc an incredibly smart choice for upshots on dangerous greens and staying in the chains no matter what. For those that like soft plastic, your disc has finally arrived.  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs Classic Supreme

Supreme refers in part to these new plastic blends, but also to their new line being introduced in tandem with the plastics.

Dynamic Discs offers Classic Supreme as the premium option for putting plastics. It provides superior grip, comfort, and durability, making it suitable for all weather conditions. This plastic has a soft feel and rigid rim with the perfect amount of flex, giving players an edge in their putt and approach game. Compared to Prime and Classic, Classic Supreme offers more grip and durability, allowing players to depend on it regardless of the weather.

The Dynamic Discs Supreme Series of discs incorporates the NexEdge and NexFeel technologies, which eliminates sharp edges and flashing for a smooth texture on the rim and a comfy release. Despite sharing names and drawing inspiration from their original counterparts, all molds in the series are new, incorporating advanced production technologies which result in minor variations and generally more overstable flight characteristics.[BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs Classic Hybrid

Dynamic Discs' Classic Hybrid is an experimental plastic that has a tacky feel and a firmness placed between Classic and Classic Blend. It's currently in the testing phase, with the potential of becoming a stock plastic offering based on player and fan response. The new Classic Hybrid plastic brings a balanced feel to the Classic line, combining the firmness of Classic plastic with the flexibility of Classic Blend, providing players with an option that fits perfectly between the two. If you're seeking a disc with a little more give than the Classic, the Classic Hybrid might be the ideal choice for you. [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Eraser

The Eraser blend is a special mix of polymers that creates an “Eraser-like” grip on the surface of the disc.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Firm

The firm putt & approach discs have a firm rim with a slight flex in the flight plate. These discs flex in half at 19-24 lbs of pressure and are typically used for a driving and lay up putter. More firm discs like this are preferred by players who use a pendulum style or a push putt and low spin putting style. They also hold up really well when throwing shots on wooded holes and do not get too flexible when playing in warmer temperatures.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Money

The money blend of putt and approach discs are marked with a $ and can range from 2S to 4S. This blend is quite different from our regular suregrip blends as we use a very flexible elastomer which causes the discs to look shiny on the surface and become very gummy with use. The $ blend is great for wet conditions.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Organic

Organic runs are made using a combination of recycled rubber and a renewable resource (corn based bio-polymer) making an eco-friendly product. Most organic discs produce a very chalky surface and fall in between S and 2S. Some older runs that are more flexible may or may not be marked. Plans to accurately mark all future runs with the appropriate flex.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Pure White

The Pure White blends are created by using a talc filled popypropelene which reduces shrinkage to produce a flatter, lower profile driving putter. This blend is firm on the rim for durability and grippy on the surface. The PW runs are mostly on the stiffer side are are slightly more over stable.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Special Blend

Gateway often samples materials that are sent to them by suppliers that are either entirely new components or additives to our existing blends. They started labeling special blends after several years of running them with the first being SB-6 and are now up to SB-30. These prototype batches range in quantities from 60 to 300 discs. Unfortunately it’s not always possible to recreate the runs due to their experimental nature. The current blend of SB-30 is something we can recreate and could end up becoming the final Special Blend.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Super Soft

The 2S putt & approach discs are slightly stiff in the rim and pliable in the flight plate. These discs flex in half at 14-18 lbs of pressure and cover a wide range of putting styles and are still firm enough to be used for driving and lay up shots.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Super Stupid Soft

The 3S putt & approach discs are flexible in both the rim and flight plate. Flexing in half at 9-13 lbs of pressure. This flex is perfect for flick putters and chest putting where thumb pressure is applied to the flight plate and the discs are sprung out of the hand upon release.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Super Stupid Silly Soft

4S putters are just about as flexible as a disc can be made and still hold its shape. These discs flex in half under 5 lbs of pressure and are very popular among newer players who need the extra grip in the chains on slightly off center hits.  [BACK TO TOP]

Innova XT Pro

Innova XT Pro is a new blend from Innova that maintains that great Pro texture and tackiness while adding some of the stiffness players will recognize from certain blends of Innova DX Plastic. Only available in limited numbers of molds right now, many more options will be released in the coming months. XT for "Extra Traction" and "Extra Tough"!  [BACK TO TOP]

Kastaplast K3

Kastaplast's K3 plastic is velvety and super durable, ideal for players who hit a lot of trees but want a disc that will hold up without getting chunked. The eraser-like feel of K3 makes it extremely grippy and somewhat tacky, even improving in grip and tackiness when wet. Compared to other base plastics, K3 is medium soft and takes a long time to beat in, providing excellent grip in all weather conditions and especially excelling in cold and wet conditions. Offering superior durability and grip, K3 really holds its own under punishment and provides a reliable grip even when the weather turns.

Kastaplast K3 also comes in a Hard version, which is basically the same except with more firmness (which some players prefer if they're throwing instead of putting). K3 Hard's firmness also adds some extra durability compared to the original K3, slowing down its aging process.[BACK TO TOP]

Latitude 64 Eco Zero

Latitude 64's Eco Zero plastic is designed for the environmentally conscious disc golfer. This biobased plastic is made from a majority of raw materials from renewable resources, offering a firm, slightly tacky grip ideal for a fast, consistent release. It's the perfect choice for players looking to embrace a more eco-friendly approach to their disc golf game. [BACK TO TOP]

Latitude 64° Zero

Zero is the preferred plastic for putters by many players, as it offers a soft, grippy feel that many players enjoy. Zero grabs the chains effectively on a solid putt and stays close to where it lands on those all-important upshots. Available in hard, medium, soft and megasoft variations for maximum customization:

• Zero Line is the grippy putter plastic used in our putters and approach discs. The plastic is chosen because of the good grip and feel. The feel you need in your short game. The Hard version is for players that might want to drive with Zero Line discs but some players also prefer to just putt with them.
• Right in the middle of Zero Soft and Zero Hard you find this plastic. Zero Medium is the perfect compromise and can be used both for driving and putting. Grip is very good and still it sits comfortably in your hand even in colder weather.
• The Zero Soft is intended for optimal short game. Period. When you step up on the green and want to give your disc the best chance to stick to the chains and safely sink into the basket you should go for the Zero Soft. For wet and really cold weather it can also serve as a comfortable choice of putter plastic.
• And when Zero Soft is not enough, the Zero Megasoft is the answer. These discs are made for the the best grip and optimal conditions to stick in the chains. When Zero Megasoft hits the ground it stops with minimal skip.  [BACK TO TOP]

Latitude 64° Grip

Grip plastic is fittingly named, as it was developed to offer the best-possible grip. While some tacky plastics have dulled-down colors, the shine of Grip allows for the great disc colors to show through.  [BACK TO TOP]

Latitude 64° Eze

Eze was originally released to replace the Grip-line of plastic, but discontinued and is no longer available from the manufacturer.  [BACK TO TOP]

Latitude 64° Royal Sense

Sense is the grippy putter plastic in Latitude's Royal Line. The combination of a sturdy feel and great grip gives you an edge in the short game.  [BACK TO TOP]

Legacy Gravity

Gravity edition is a soft version of Legacy's Protege edition plastic, with a tacky feel for grip. The added flexibility will absorb the impact of chains. Great for beginners or experienced professionals. Gravity is offered in Legacy's putters and midranges.  [BACK TO TOP]

Legacy Protege

Protege is a stiffer version of Gravity and grippier than Legacy's Pinnacle plastic. Protege is rigid and has a great grip.  [BACK TO TOP]

Millennium ET

ET plastic is a rendition of our Millennium Standard plastic that has an extra tacky feel that provides a confident grip in all weather conditions. ET plastic is durable and wears-in slowly, but what makes this plastic blend so special is that it feels like a well-seasoned disc right out of the box. Many players are drawing comparisons to the feel of old Omega AP runs, and this ET plastic adds a medium-firm, grippy Omega to our product line.  [BACK TO TOP]

Millennium Standard

Prodigy's 300 Series plastic is a great choice for those who like the Eze plastic from Latitude or the KC Pro from Innova. It has a firm feel and less tackiness than their other plastics to avoid "griplock" on those important touch shots. The 300 Series provides good durability yet allows for some breaking-in, which experienced players know can make a disc all the better.  [BACK TO TOP]

Prodigy's 350RX Series plastic is designed for players with slower arm-speeds, be it someone just learing the game and developing their throws, or someone with declining power. A great tacky feel and a good bit of stiffness, combined with lighter weights, make these great all-around discs for most all players.  [BACK TO TOP]

The 350G plastic is a new blend similar to the 300 Series plastic but featuring a unique, more-tacky feel with more stiffness. A great entry-level plastic and priced-right, but with that premium feel. Has great, slow break-in properties that players love.

Westside BT Blends

Westside has four variations of their BT plastic, allowing you to obtain the perfect grip and characteristics:

• Hard - Great feel but maximum firmness for hard throws that don't wobble.
• Medium - A great balance of firmness and softness.
• Soft - A good option for upshots that sit and stay. Also great for people who love their grip to dig in on their putts or throws.
• MegaSoft - Extra softness for those who love a super-tacky and slightly floppy disc. Still retains enough firmness to keep its shape and throw well.  [BACK TO TOP]

Pro D plastic is known for its great value and excellent grip in the hand. Nearly every Discraft model is available in the Pro D line, and it provides a great option for those who like to replace their discs frequently and keep a nearly new version in the bag at all times, or the player who is just starting out and doesn't want to spend much to get started.  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs Prime

Prime has an incredible feel and excellent grip even when the weather compromises your hold on your favorite disc. These are all secondary benefits to this incredible line of discs. Our guiding intention was to bring a product to market that was affordable for beginners looking to test the waters. We truly endeavor to grow the sport. Putting Prime discs in beginners' hands will be a great way to do that.  [BACK TO TOP]

Innova DX plastic is the original workhorse and bargain disc golf plastic. Innova DX provides that chalky-yet-grippy texture players have loved through the years and has a great stiffness throughout its life. DX plastic is bargain-priced, as it generally has a shorter lifespan compared to other disc polymers, which works great for those who like to replace their discs frequently. A great plastic for beginners who are just learning the game, since they can try lots of different models and not spend a fortune as they learn what works for them.  [BACK TO TOP]

Latitude 64° Retro

Retro Line is our most affordable plastic. It is also about nostalgia. The mid 80s was a great time. Disc Golf had just come all the way up to Latitude 64° and we played all through the night in the midnight sun. Translucent discs were far from being invented and all discs were understable by current standards. We remember those days with nostalgic feelings and wanted a plastic that would remind us of how it used to be. For a long time we have had requests that we should make discs that could be broken in more easily. Test after test led us to this plastic blend that we have named Retro.  [BACK TO TOP]

Legacy Excel

Excel edition discs are a great buy at a low cost. Great for beginners or experienced professionals. Rigid with a great grip.  [BACK TO TOP]

Millennium Delta-T "DT"

In precise time-keeping “Delta-T” is a measurement, and it’s also the name of Millennium’s new baseline plastic.  DT offers a super-firm feel, making it the most rigid of baseline plastics on the market.  Currently offered exclusively in our popular Omega molds, beginners and pros alike now have the ability to work-in a firm version of their favorite putter.  DT’s combination of grip, rigidity, and affordability is what makes it truly timeless.  DT was first introduced as a fundraiser disc, then as a stock disc in July 2016.  [BACK TO TOP]

Prodigy 200 Series

200 Plastic is extremely versatile. It’s great for entry level players looking to get into the game, as well as advanced & professional players who love to fine tune their discs by working them in just the way they like. The feel of this plastic brings a new dimension to Prodigy's line-up. Similar to the 300 Plastic, but with less grip - the 200 Plastic stands on its own.  [BACK TO TOP]

Westside Origio

Grip. That was the intention. Make a plastic that feels great and is easy to throw. Origio is that solution. In the same way that Prime for Dynamic Discs and Retro for Latitude 64 brought this incredible plastic to their line of discs, Origio now makes your favorite Westside discs feel that much better.  [BACK TO TOP]

Lightweight Discs

Innova Blizzard Champion

The same popular Innova Champion material but with tiny bubbles incorporated to reduce the weight of the disc. This allows disc models to be made in lighter weights that weren't possible previously. Also, the bubbles allow a fast, stable disc model to be made in light weights without sacrificing the disc's stability. The resulting light weights are beneficial to players with slower arm-speeds, as they can get added distance with less effort.  [BACK TO TOP]

Innova StarLite

Innova's new Blizzard technology incorporates thousands of microbubbles into their StarLite plastic.... This results in high speed, premium plastic drivers in weights all the way down to 130 grams! Blizzard-technology discs discs fly with almost the same stability as the equivalent model 20 grams heavier. Models under 140 grams are light enough to float in water! For fans of Innova's Star plastic who like throwing lighter weights, StarLite now makes this possible!  [BACK TO TOP]

Discraft Z-Lite

Discraft's version of bubble plastic. The same Elite Z plastic but with injected air for lighter discs.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discmania Blizzard C-Line

See Innova Blizzard  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs Easy to Throw Models

Dynamic offers three models in a lightweight, beginner friendly range: the Breakout driver, Proof midrange and Gavel putter.  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Lucid Air

Lucid Air uses the same material as our durable Lucid plastic. It has solid plastic at the top and bottom of the rim to protect the microbubbles in the plastic on impact. These microbubbles actually make the disc lighter. They are spread out through the top of the disc and middle of the rim to keep the weight distribution nearly identical to Lucid and Fuzion discs.  [BACK TO TOP]

Legacy Ultralight

A special blend of plastic that is blended into the Protege plastic to achieve a lighter weight for the molds you know and love. The Ultralight series has characteristics close to that of the Protege series with durability and grip.  [BACK TO TOP]

MVP Fission

Fission™ Microbubble Technology produces an ultralight core with evenly distributed and imperceptible weight reduction microbubbles. The ultralight core allows an even higher GYRO™ overmold density relative to the core, yet still remaining in the lighter weight classes. This produces an entirely new type of lightweight disc never before seen in the sport, and beyond the capability of any other manufacturer. Weight distribution, stability, and durability of prior “bubble” discs are all improved upon by Fission. Skeptics of prior light or bubble plastics are in for a surprise, as Fission brings advanced disc physics and true high-tech molding into the lightweight plastics arena.  [BACK TO TOP]

Millennium Quantum Zero-G

Zero-G, short for Zero-Gravity, refers to the near weightlessness of these discs.  Starting with Quantum plastic, short bursts of air are injected during the molding process resulting in thousands of ultra tiny bubbles within the plastic and discs with weights as low as 130 and up to 164 grams. The amazing thing is that the discs maintain the original flight characteristics of the heavier models.  [BACK TO TOP]

Prodigy Air

Discs molded in the Air version of Prodigy's 400 Series plastic will offer the same excellent performance molds but in lighter weights that allow more players to throw these models. Lighter weights can result in greater distances with less effort!  [BACK TO TOP]

Westside VIP Air

VIP Air is similar to the VIP plastic in durability and color variation, but offers the benefits of other air-based plastics such as more distance, etc.  [BACK TO TOP]

Latitude 64 Opto Air

Uses the same material as our durable Opto Line plastic. It is modified and the runs are done in a different way to achieve a stunning result of lighter weight discs that still has a layer of solid plastic at the tip and bottom of the rim to protect the alternated material that is mostly centered in the middle of the rim but also spread out slightly over the top of the discs to keep the weight distribution as close as possible to the Opto and Gold Line discs.  [BACK TO TOP]

Trash Panda Baseline

Meet Trash Panda Baseline - a sustainable blend made from 100% recycled plastic and a natural mineral called Calcium Carbonate. This innovative approach results in a durable plastic that feels great in the hand while also being environmentally friendly. Designed specifically for putting, Trash Panda Baseline offers a reliable and eco-conscious option for disc golfers who prioritize sustainability without sacrificing performance. [BACK TO TOP]

Glow Disc Golf Plastics

Just about every company offers a glow option, and many have glow versions of a variety of their plastic types, allowing for players to select those which best fit their preference for texture and price range. These discs all require a bright light source to charge up the disc prior to throwing at night, with most keeping a low-level of glow for an hour or two after charging. The brightest glow will occur immediately after exposure to light, so many players carry a flashlight or similar charging tool during the round. See our wide selection of glow-in-the-dark golf discs.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discmania Glow C-Line

The Glow C-line discs come from a very durable blend of C-line plastic that glows in the dark. Currently only reserved for fundraising projects & specialty discs.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discmania Glow D-Line

Very similar to the stock D-Line plastics but with a glow in the dark plastic blend. Generally Glow D-Line discs are stiffer that normal D-Line and reserved for special releases.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discmania Glow P-Line

Just like the stock P-Line plastics but can glow in the dark. Reserved for special releases and custom stamps.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discraft ESP Glo

Discraft ESP GLO plastic is a unique fundraiser and special edition blend that combines Discraft's popular ESP plastic with Glow-in-the-Dark additive. Some colors definitely glow more than others, but many players like the feel of glow plastic, whether or not they are using it at night or not.  [BACK TO TOP]

Discraft Z Glo

Z Glo plastic is the quality Discraft plastic that glows in the Dark. This is a durable blend that may be slightly more stable than traditional Z plastic.  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs / Latitude 64° / Westside Moonshine

Lights out? Not for your game! Latitude 64's Moonshine has stepped up the game with an improved "2.0" version of glow plastic that shines brighter and lasts longer than any other glow plastic on the market. Moonshine is now being produced with four different color options: transparent, yellow, pink and turquoise. The transparent and yellow options are said to give the absolute best glow of these options. Expect Moonshine molds to be slightly more overstable than the Candy version.  [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs / Latitude 64° / Westside Moonshine 2.0

Moonshine 2.0 is the reformulated version of the Moonshine plastic. It has been refined to provide brighter, longer lasting glow performance. Otherwise, the Moonshine 2.0 will continue to provide the same great glow disc players have enjoyed via the Moonshine offerings, and the Moonshine 2.0 discs will continue to be marketed as simply "Moonshine" discs.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Diamond Glow

The Diamond blend is made from a high-grade TPU combined with strontium which produces the longest lasting brightest glow on the market. These blends create the best durability and grip on the surface of any disc on the market and we use a heavy loading of the glow to assure our discs glow the best. Runs are clear/translucent making the glow even more intense.  [BACK TO TOP]

Gateway Superglow

The Superglow blends are made using the element strontium which produces the longest lasting brightest glow on the market. We use a heavy loading of the glow to assure our discs glow the best. Most runs of Superglow putters over the years fall between F and SS. More flexible runs are now being marked with accurate flex.  [BACK TO TOP]

Innova Glow Plastics

Innova has a glow version of almost every plastic type in their lineup. All are mainly reserved for special releases and custom stamps except Glow Champion. Each is very similar to the parent plastic but has a glow in the dark plastic blend added to it.  [BACK TO TOP]

Kastaplast Glow

Kastaplast offers a glow version of both of their signature plastics. K1 Glow has the same properties as the durable K1 Line but is souped up with a long lasting glow polymer inside, and K3 Glow is likewise made with the same plastic as the K3 line with a mix of glow plastic. The K3 Glow will light up at night when activated, but due to the properties of the base plastic blend, expect a bit less brightness than the K1 Glow line.  [BACK TO TOP]

Millennium Lunar

These Lunar models are great for night golf and when fall/winter evenings come around shortening your disc golf days. Have League nights year-round. Lunar plastic was introduced in mid 2016.  [BACK TO TOP]

MVP / Axiom / Streamline Eclipse

While initially Eclipse was only available in the proton discs and just the rim would glow, all that has changed with time. Many variations of MVP Eclipse exist now, and it isn't just the rim that glows, but many releases will have glow centers, too. "Total Eclipse" refers to discs featuring both a glow rim and a glow flight plate. Occasionally, the glow portions of the disc will have color variation options, so one disc might glow with a blue hue, while another might be purplish or a more traditional greenish glow. MVP is continually experimenting with new Total Eclipse and color variation combinations, so expect to see even more exciting options in the future. Eclipse is also available in a soft flexibility for putter models, catering to different player preferences. [BACK TO TOP]

Prodigy Basegrip Glow

BaseGrip plastic offers a tactile feel for a sure grip every time you reach for it. It finds a great balance between stiffness and the ability to wear-in to perfection. BaseGrip plastic provides a cost-effective option without sacrificing on quality and performance in all weather conditions.

BaseGrip GLOW discs are some of the most unique glow options out there. See for yourself! Once these are charged (we recommend a black light for best results), you will get a powerful, bright glow like no other.  [BACK TO TOP]

Prodigy Duraflex Glow

A good premium plastic is durable enough to stand the test of time and the elements while still providing excellent grip. Prodigy has hit all those marks with a DuraFlex blend that will continue to feel nice and grippy whether it's the first flight or long after the disc has slowly broken in.

DuraFlex GLOW meshes bright colors that pop with a superior glow at night. We recommend using a black light for best results.  [BACK TO TOP]

Prodigy Glow Plastics

Each plastic line from Prodigy can also be found in glow editions. Generally it is reserved for special edition releases and stamps but they exist if you look long enough. All plastics have a glow in the dark blend added to make them brighter at night.  [BACK TO TOP]

Alternatives to glow discs

Some players are looking for a brighter glow during flight, in which case there are a couple of options: Nite Ize makes golf discs with LED electronic lighting built in, allowing for maximum brightness. Or, if you prefer to play with your favorite disc instead of just the shape Nite Ize offers, you can purchase a variety of lights that can be taped onto your favorite discs, making any disc in your bag perfect for night golf!  [BACK TO TOP]

Other Disc Golf Disc Variations

Blanks, No Stamp, Dye Line, Dyer's Delight

Pretty self-explanatory here, but as you probably know there are a lot of folks who enjoy creating custom artwork on discs, either to sell or just for fun. Some draw on them, others use various techniques to actually dye the disc. It is possible to remove the hotstamp from a regular disc, however just getting a blank disc to start with is ideal! [BACK TO TOP]

Discmania Vapor

Discmania's Vapor plastics combine the best of both worlds – vibrant color bursts and the durability and grip of the base plastic--either Discmania Lux Vapor (a variation on Discmania Lux) or Discmania Exo Vapor (a variation of Discmania Exo plastic). With twelve color veins running through it, Vapor plastic adds an extra touch of style to your disc. [BACK TO TOP]

Discmania Horizon

Discmania's Horizon plastic is a striking S-Line combo containing two different color variations, resulting in a stunning exterior and interior. The unique blend offers not only an eye-catching appearance but also exceptional grip, making it a great choice for all weather conditions. Whether you're playing on a sunny day or in the rain, the Horizon plastic provides the consistency and control you need for your game. [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs / Latitude / Westside Glimmer

Glimmer plastics are special versions of other high-durability plastics (like Opto, VIP and Lucid) that feature extra shimmering, glimmering visual effects. This adds a chameleon color shift combined with a metallic glimmer effect, creating discs that are not only great performers, but also visually stunning on the course. [BACK TO TOP]

Dynamic Discs / Latitude / Westside Orbit

Orbit discs feature a two-color process that results in a ring of contrasting color around the outer edge of the disc for a cool visual effect. Early swirl discs and certain dye patterns became popular with players when offering this ring look, so manufacturers have started producing it intentionally now. Flights and feel are said to be similar to the regular version of the plastic. [BACK TO TOP]

Factory Second, F2, FS, X-Outs & Misprints

These are all terms which basically refer to the same thing: a disc that came out of production with minor imperfections which generally won't affect the flight or performance, but just aren't quite up to snuff to sell at full price. Most companies are offering these and they are a great way to try out new brands, new models, or just save a few bucks on that replacement for your favorite disc. Sometimes it is obvious why the the disc is deemed to be second-quality (slight bump or puddle in the flight plate, a bit of carbon or a bubble visible in the material, hotstamp badly flaking, etc) but it's also very common that you cannot find a flaw! [BACK TO TOP]

Innova Galactic

Innova's Galactic is a special decorative coloration that adds a unique and eye-catching look to their discs. These could be described as a swirly variation of the base plastic. We've seen Innova's XT, KC Pro and DX plastics released periodically in a Galactic version. Innova will also sometimes offer their popular Aero Mini in the galactic colors, too. Galactic XT plastic is said to be a grippy, very swirly McPro variant. [BACK TO TOP]

Swirl / Swirly Plastics

Swirl-plastic discs are known for their eye-catching, unique designs that result from blending different colors together to create a mixed coloration. Swirly discs come in many plastics so therefore the term doesn't define a specific type of plastic, however they all offer an aesthetic appeal that distinguishes one disc from another on the course and makes each disc unique. These discs can range from just a couple main colors visible in the swirl, to some which may have seven or more different colors blended into the plastic, creating a very cool effect. [BACK TO TOP]

The best plastic for disc golf depends on many factors. Each player will have different needs based on their local terrain, budget, and level of involvement in the sport. Ultra-durable plastics are great for rocky terrain. Brightly colored plastics help when locating your shot in dense vegetation. And those new to disc golf may want to start with inexpensive, basic plastics as they build their bag and determine the best molds for their game. Ask yourself what plastic is going to work best for you and your unique circumstances. Ultimately, the best disc golf plastic is the one that feels most comfortable in your hand and inspires confidence in those clutch-shot situations on the course.

Does plastic type matter in disc golf?

Yes. Plastic type matters in disc golf for many reasons. For instance, a disc's flight will change with increased disc wear (also known as "breaking in"), so a disc made with a more durable plastic type should retain its original flight for longer. And discs of different plastic types will behave differently upon contact with the ground, when they are rolling, or when nestling into the chains of the basket. Also, players sometimes seek out a more (or less), tacky/"grippy" plastic type to achieve the desired grip and feel upon release.

What is premium plastic in disc golf?

Premium plastic generally refers to any top-of-the-line, high-durability plastic type on the market, with many similarities and subtle differences among them all. Generally, each company will offer a selection of discs in these high-end plastics as well as in other less-durable but more affordable options. Premium plastics often tend to be a company's cutting-edge, coolest-looking, and most colorful plastics they offer as well.
