We Tested the Worst Disc Golf Products We Could Find on Amazon

[@BillFromAZ]

Spinners on the Green in Scottsdale, Arizona is awesome. That's where I got my first discs and many more. They also run the Shelly Sharpe and Memorial tournaments.

[@arrowpoint11]

360 Disc Golf Bremerton WA, awesome selection and great people who are knowledgeable and amazing supporters of our local disc golf scene!

[@marcuspelayo2498]

Any other ones you know in Washington? I didn't see an online Shop? I'm all the way up in Bellingham currently i use gem discs in Idaho.

[@briandoolittle9620]

The Throw Shop in Ypsilanti, MI. Ben is awesome and they have two 18 hole courses to play. Holdens in Milford or CJ's by Hudson Mills are also great retailers. Got to love the MI disc golf scene 😍

[@mikelentz833]

Go Michigan!

[@RaymondChippewa]

The Throw Shop.. best disc golf shop in lower Michigan, big selection and great advice. Two 18 hole courses, one is Located on an old ball golf course for a great kinda open track. Then an 18 hole course carved outta the woods in back. .. located in Ypsilanti, Mich.

[@kappahands4849]

6:38 the numbers are directly taken directly from the stats of the Discmania Active Line starter set. It's the same here in finland where an off-brand company, Atom, made an unapproved disc set with the numbers of the Innova starter set (2,3,0,1/4,4,0,2/6,5,-2,1). The discs are very understable, have no glide at all and they break after 3 tree-hits.

[@TrashPandaDiscGolf]

Woah... interesting!

[@MurseMorris]

You got 2 more tree hits out of them than i expected, congrats!

[@chrishochheimer9264]

Great video. Shout out to gander disc golf in alberta Canada.

[@logangraham444]

Confluence Kayak and Ski in downtown Denver!!!!!!!! Only premium plastic and hard to find molds!

[@FatBrady]

Disc n Dat in Florence KY. Great shop that's been around for a very long time!

[@rmearig]

Spinners on the Green, Scottsdale AZ! Great people, super knowledgable and they host a weekly doubles match!

[@AlgorithmDG]

CJ's party store in Dexter MI and Holden's deli in Milford MI are my local shops! CJ's has a huge selection of thousands of discs and it's a party (liquor store for you non US people) store. Holden's has some great food, it's right by Toboggan (DGLO /Champions cup 2023) and some other great courses, and they have hundreds of discs!

[@arhshields]

Don't forget The Throw Shop in Ypsilanti and its Woods/Ponds courses...no food or beer, but a huge selection of discs and 36 holes to throw.

[@ernestryles]

Party and liquor stores are not synonymous in most of the US.

[@AlgorithmDG]

@@ernestryles they are synonymous in Michigan and other states, but party store means a place where you buy costumes and things to most of the world. We also say pop instead of soda, get over it!

[@ernestryles]

@@AlgorithmDG “liquor store for non US people” implies that most or all of the US uses that terminology.

[@alexgarvey7184]

Limber disc golf in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Incredible shop!

[@douglasallen3]

Haha! "Keep your Goosos in the grasso." Well played sir.

[@BlueFlyer83]

My wofe a d I are VERY new to disc golf and we were very pleased with adding two more fiscs to out starter set from Jason at Another Round.

[@jonathanurquhart3923]

My local store is the wright life in fort collins Colorado. When we first learned about disc golf my wife and i went there to buy some discs and the owner picked us each out a custom starter set instead of the boxed versions. Now anytime anyone asks about buying discs I recommend they go there!

[@BlakJedi907]

The Wright Life is great! I have to avoid going there as much as possible or else I'll end up with way too many discs.

[@uofajoe99]

Dynamic Discs NWA - Springdale, AR next to JB Hunt Course. Great team. Awesome selection. I moved to Guatemala and really miss going in there to support my habit. Can't wait to come back and visit.

[@macthemurse]

Bombdisc Lexington KY all the good stuff and great service from great people!

[@beetlemaster7559]

208 disc's in boise idaho is amazing!! They have a really good variety and the owner is always down at the local course. A super cool guy as well!

[@thickyjuice]

Love Armory Disc Golf in College Station, Texas! Such a friendly guy and he always has a great selection of local manufacturers

[@JoakimPekkari]

Nordic Disc Golf in Lund, Sweden. Great service and the quickest deliveries possible!

[@everettcorder5977]

Storm Disc Golf in Lubbock, Texas. Their (albeit currently small) line of discs has some amazing molds, they stock all the major retailers, and the used section is full of gems every time I'm in there.

[@HomeSteadingHomeVideo]

Too bad they discontinued their Gateway lineup. Can't wait to hear what company they pair with next!

[@robkitchen5344]

Flight distance is easy to determine......find a high spot... like 240 ft high....then drop the putter and it could land below you...maybe...that will give you the max distance...if duplicated more then twice out of 10 test flying drops...... If you don't achieve desired outcome.....repeat test until accomplished. Results may vary

[@TylerMorton]

Hazy Shade in Dayton, OH!

[@sparwking]

The basket is an Innova discatcher but unbranded. I bought the Innova stamped on in Sweden for $190 - for what ever brain dead reason I had at a time. But for what it is its works fine for moving around. BUT for $50-100, I'd say it's a good buy. It's not that bad.

[@Loken47anUA]

Yeah. Looks exactly like an Innova Discatcher. I've got one of those, putts on it every day and a big reason I really improved my putting game. Love how easy it is to move it around as well.

[@rorymyers3050]

Bought the Innova basket for about 190$ as well and so far it's been ok.. Like you said it is easy to carry around and practice wherever I want and tbh it is easy to assemble and dismantle.. But it was pretty disappointing to see them giving the off brand basket a 2.5 😢😅

[@robertlim3732]

Yup, copied Innova… the discatchers I use more for popup fun course at the park (like testing new layouts) instead of a putting practice basket. Or going on holiday where there are no disc golf course anywhere. They have their purpose.

[@michaelletour]

I have an Innova as well (I think I paid $120 on sale). I feel like the chains are a little heavier on the Innova. Either that or those guys putt more firmly than I do. That's a possibility. Yes, the unfolding process is not intuitive.

[@andrewjon2792]

The Innova one is made way better truly

[@MasterBigBass]

Gotta Go Gotta Throw in Golden Valley MN and Chumba Discs in Phoenix were both fantastic. The owners of Chumba were incredible and really friendly and had a great lost and found program.

[@natemaas1982]

I love GGGT! Best shop in MN for sure!

[@BaerTheBlader]

The guys at Chumba Discs are always really nice and helpful when I go there.

[@op_yeti3482]

Yeet Street in Morrisville, NC. Awesome selection and they sell discs from multiple local dyers

[@fatefallen93]

Great video y’all! Love the content!

[@sethofsouth]

My favorite "local" shop is an hour away cuz we dont have one where I live. But its Nebraska Disc Golf Supply in Omaha Nebraska. Very knowledgeable owner. Its a great little store.

[@jii-ro7083]

Those lights remind me alot of what viking discs sells here in Finland for 10€ / 4pack. And they are absolutely amazing in here since now it gets dark before 6pm. They make discs more understable so when you just keep that in mind or place them in very stable / overstable discs its going to be ok.

[@eggsnbeens]

The Shack in Sheboygan WI! One of the states first pro shops, located 30ft from the first tee pad at the Vollrath park course which opened in 1980.

[@muffincubed]

[@redmortensen4066]

Evolution disc golf in Saginaw Michigan. It's awesome. Ran by a guy named Scott and his wife and as I recall another buddy of theirs but they're always down in Chinatown. They've always got good advice and it's jammed packed full of plastic

[@bruceleo2607]

Zen Llama, Lincoln NE I thought those lights were for the baskets, not the discs, lol!

[@thebr0wnhornet]

I practice putting into a fishing scoop net that’s just a bit wider than the discs

[@evanstanek5838]

My son had the 6 pack Gooso starter set gifted to him for Christmas, fine for what they're for. The plastic was extremely hard, fingers hurt when it rips off. The green disc is super understable but decent for him, kinda beat in valkyrie-ish. The red is overstable mid, and the blue blunt birdie style putter is really really really bad.

[@Yourmymomdad]

don't understand the hate for birdies lol. just picked one up and i love it for 10-20 ft putts. anything more than that and it's an aviar or something with actual glide

[@Conjay3]

Disc Crazy in Indianapolis IN, New Albany IN, Bowling Green KY, and Huntsville AL!

[@saintsfisherman]

I have the GOOSO set (I bought for my first attempt at the sport) and the red one is labeled putter and the blue one is labeled mid range. LOL this makes a lot more since.

[@ahabsbane]

Grey duck disc golf in cottage Grove MN, electronically inventoried massive selection, and the owner is really helpful. They usually get special editions out a couple weeks early. I'm a huge fission plastic nerd and he helped me find a hand full from axiom that i didn't even know about.

Yeet Street Discs in Morrisville, NC. Nice people and selection of discs. They even have a used section.

[@serenityinsilence]

Most of the local shops closed around me that I knew of. Now my only source of discs that I can handle before I buy is academy. They do carry innova, dynamic/latitude/westside, and discraft discs. They stock them randomly so I have to check in every couple of weeks to see what’s new.

[@BaerTheBlader]

I have to shout out all three of the Disc Golf stores that I know of in the Phoenix area. - Chumba Discs - Spinners On The Green - The Disc Shack

[@danchamp7938]

Emerald city discs in Seattle! Also waiting for Jason to send me a shirt as he promised. 😜

[@charlesenfield2192]

I bought a very similar set to the six-disc set on amazon about 8 years ago, but it was 12 discs for about $40. Make no mistake, they're bad discs. That said, I wanted a cheap way to try disc golf with my nieces and nephews. For that purpose, they were fantastic. We took a family vacation together, and we played 5 round that week. All four of us still play, so it was worth every penny.

[@shock9616]

If you live in the Fraser Valley in British Columbia (Abbotsford, Langley, etc.) then AceRunners is easily the best place around. They're on the Langley bypass near Sports Replay

[@danielmccachern2307]

I used to play glow a lot. I never ànything other than clear/champ plastic for glow. Don't know how you would do it otherwise with any other product. (Never been a huge glow tape fan b/c it is not bright enough)

[@mitchellphillips4691]

Pluto’s in Knoxville TN. The widest selection I’ve ever seen, and bigger than most online retailers. Lol Super friendly and affordable. Tax is included too so that’s helpful

[@DazO9874]

In the UK Ace Disc Golf are the best online retailer, the discs are a bit more expensive but you get a picture of the disc you are buying and some sweets, great service too.

[@sander1645]

Hawaii Express in Kuressaare, Estonia. Great shop for a tiny town. Got my first discs there and I still keep using them!

[@DOPES4MAGA]

[@BodanzaDiscGolf]

Awesome video! Super fun concept... it's amazing how easy it is to get a cheap product to market, doesn't mean it's worth anything though! Grateful you're doing a lot of work to bring an awesome thing to market soon, and totally agree that you should shop local as much as you can!

[@jordanjulian5978]

Disc Golf Depot in portland or is the BEST! original owner started it up from his garage, and they've always been super helpful and have an excellent selection!

[@toth.42]

I have an Innova Traveler basket, this one looks identical. Suspecting it's from the exact same factory line.

[@dr.honeypot6268]

i bought a yaheetech baskets probly the best bang for you buck unless your a pro. was only like 117 at the time and its full metal with some decent chains if you go for the 18 chain one the ones with more chains they get a little thinner as my friend got one with 24 and definitely thinner but also had 6 more chains so probly same amount of metal weight spread out more. easy set up and technically dont have to use the screws provided but i usually use a few but leave it so i can take the bottom off for easier carry. 2 wheels would be a nice added feature that you could probly rig up yourself. for the price id say its as good as the name brand baskets that go for almost 200+. mine didnt come with a carry case but no issue as can just get some string to tie it into a nice compact briefcase style thing but my friends came with carry case that is nice but he doesnt even use.

[@D.mastyt]

1010 Discs is my favorite retailer. They are located in Horn Lake, Mississippi

[@53rdcards]

The basket at the $100 price is like you said, fine, but for half that you can get a metal basket that looks and plays like one you will find at the course, only much thinner chains from Yaheetech. I have one and it works fantastic. But i wanted one that is easier to pack up and go, while the yaheetech one claims to be portable, it isnt as fast a setup as the innova knockoff one, i picked one up when it was on sale and had another 25% off so it was $60 at that price, i think its actually pretty good, one way to fix that tightness it has where it might snap a finger and is super hard to open and close, get a ratcheting tie down strap or two, and use them to slowly move it to right before it will pop all the way open, and leave it like that for a few days so the parts stretch out, after i did that, mine opens and closes super easy now, it has the detent in it when its open to keep it from closing so no reason it needs to be so crazy tight.

[@docxen]

wonder if the gooso (sp?) discs would be good for kids? cheap and if lost no worries

I go to Bad Habits disc golf in Thornton CO they are great and have amazing help and Discs

Willow Ridge Disc Golf in Guelph, ON. Also the founder of Diameter Apparel!

[@mebillica]

You asked for comments of local shops. Backbone Disc Golf is a Veteran owned disc golf store, that gives discounts for other veterans. Rochester, NY

[@TherealPapaDogP]

Skip Amazon. You might get Franklin. Local retailer that set me straight after I started off wrong? Gary’s Shoe Repair in Jacksonville, NC. Now I know what you’re thinking: shoe repair and disc golf? They do both. Fantastic selection of new and used discs and an awesome staff that advocates for the sport and the other local businesses. Since they do shoe repair, it shouldn’t be a surprise that you may find some Vibram plastic. Be sure to play North East Creek Park, just a short drive around the corner. Fun course for every skill level.

[@Saculmit]

I feel like the top of that basket was supposed to be pushed up more which would push it out. Much like the bottom, I'm sure it'd be super hard and try to break a finger in the process.

[@-b1ghorn087]

[@ChrisNeff]

Thank you for 16:24 😂

[@jedediahalvey5839]

For those lights, you have to match the light color to the disc plastic color. Some combinations get blocked out completely (e.g. red light blocked by blue plastic). A quick lesson on light waves and color.

[@realImpelon]

Hm, those lights actually look precisely like the lights I got from the 1€ shop intended to illuminate your glasses if you have a drink in the evening. Same principle and form factor, same sticky surface, same exchangeable batteries and controllable light patterns. Seems I was not the only one who thought they'd make great lights for night disc golf 😇 they are well visible at night at the very least that being said, 18$ is probably a bit expensive for them, they sell cheaper as "bottle lights".

[@TheZombiecowmeat]

That basket looks almost identical to the Innova Traveler basket, but blue in stead of yellow haha

[@dustinheese]

I have a portable Blackhole knockoff from Soozier that I use daily. Good for the price.
