Disc Golf Plastics & Blends
Diamond (D)
The Diamond blend is made from a high-grade TPU. These blends create the best durability and grip on the surface of any disc on the market. Runs are clear, translucent, or opaque and are more over stable than Suregrip or Platinum.
D-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.
Platinum (P)
The Platinum blend is made with different ratios of TPU (Thermo-Plastic-Urethane) and a co-polyester TPE (Thermo-plastic-Elastomer). Producing a durable disc that is a bit more grippy on the surface than pure TPU. Platinum discs are always solid in color and are slightly less stable than Diamond and more over stable than Suregrip.
NXT
NXT (Nylon Xtra Tuff) is a prototype material developed through a unique collaboration with the talented team at NYCOA. Our proprietary blend represents the pinnacle of durability in plastic blends available today. This material is currently being utilized in a very limited and special partnership with Gateway Disc Sports, ensuring that this advanced blend is tailored specifically for our discs.
Pure White (PW)
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.
Firm (F)
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.
Super Soft (SS)
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.
Super Stupid Soft (SSS)
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.
Super Stupid Silly Soft (SSSS)
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.
Superglow (GLO)
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.
Organic (OG)
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.
Eraser (ER)
The Eraser blend is a special mix of polymers that creates an “Eraser-like” grip on the surface of the disc.
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.
Special Blend (SB)
We often sample materials that are sent to us by suppliers that are either entirely new components or additives to our existing blends. We 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.
