In todays market there are many different competing disc golf brands. There are so many brands it can be hard to know where to start. New brands are gaining popularity such as MVP and Prodigy, however there are four major disc golf companies that remain dominant. The most trusted and well known brands in disc golf are Innova, Discraft, Trilogy, and Discmania. Some people pick a specific brand and stick to it, while other players buy and throw multiple brands of discs. If your a professional disc golfer you can usually only throw the discs made by the company brand that sponsors them. I’m going to get more in depth about each of these disc golf brands below.
Discraft– Was founded in 1979 and the first established brand in disc golf. They are a very popular disc golf brand with a variety of discs for everyone. They have some of the nicest quality discs in the sport, with very unique designs and fair prices. They sponsor and create signature discs for a number of professional male and female disc golfers. Recently the company signed, Pro Paul McBeth, a 10 year $10 Million dollar contract extension. Making him the highest paid athlete in disc golf! Discraft is a great brand to consider throwing.
Innova– Founded in 1983, Innova Champion Discs began the most well know trusted brand in the sport. Today, Innova sales account for just under a third of the total market’s. They have some of the most affordable discs with good quality. They are the most well known brand and can be found in most Dicks Sporting Goods stores. Innova also sponsors a number of professional disc golfers and create signature discs for them. It’s also pretty cool that a bunch of their disc names come from different types animals, such as the pig and leopard. Innova is a great reliable brand you can trust.
Trilogy– Consists of a few disc golf brands, Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64, and Westside Discs, that together create the Trilogy family. Dynamic Discs and Latitude 64 were founded in 2005, and Westside Discs in 2009. Dynamic Discs and Latitude 64 are Trilogy’s leaders in their sales and marketing. Dynamic Discs makes very affordable discs and provide great quality. Trilogy’s discs are produced in Sweden. Dynamic discs interestingly names their discs referencing the judicial system, such as the judge, verdict, trespass and sheriff. Trilogy discs are reliable and low cost which makes them great brands for beginners.
Discmania– Founded in 2006, are quickly gaining popularity and are my personal favorite brand of discs. Currently they are expanding their line working on new disc’s with three other companies. Innova helps produce their Discmania Originals line, Yikun produces their Active line, and Latitude 64 helps produce their Discmania Evolution line of discs. The company sponsors and creates custom discs for many professional disc golfers. They are well known for their limited release signature discs, that retain resale value. Discmania attracts roughly 25% of the disc golf market today. Most recently pro Eagle McMahon, sponsored by Discmania, won the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT)-The Memorial Championship. Discmania is continuing to grow as a result of big tournament wins from sponsored players, like Eagle. Discmania is a great brand to throw, but its gaining popularity is making harder to get some of their discs causing prices to increase. Unless you are committed to throwing and paying for Discmania, like me, I would suggest throwing another brand.
