Which Disc Golf Manufacturer is The BEST?

[@curtisridenour]

You didn't mention the MVP glow being far and away the brightest glow on the market.

[@volitionsin9607]

Came here to say this. And Streamline, without the overmold, has solid options.

[@rogerjones332]

I concur. The MVP, Total Eclipse glow colors are the best, brightest, and longest lasting.

[@evanstanek5838]

I've built half of my glow bag with MVP. Great glow. Kasta glow is also consistently outstanding. My newest fave is the recent Glo DD from Discmania, the glow is awesome and the disc flies really really well

[@curtisridenour]

@@evanstanek5838 what do you put with? I was thinking of getting an eclipse envy.

[@BigJuice77]

@@evanstanek5838 "Consistently" Might not be the best word. I have a 2022 GrymX that has pretty bad glow. Maybe they improved though? I don't run a lot of Kasta

[@ViJt-oq5nq]

I throw a lot of MVP just cuz pretty much all their discs are flat, have smooth edges and good rigidity. Molds fly pretty consistent from run to run and flight doesn't vary too much between plastics. As a rec player it's nice to know what I'm buying is gonna do what it should

[@derpderpin1568]

Really true for every brand. The people that claim massive differences in the same mold are the same people that can't throw the same shot twice in 10 tries.

[@OvertPumkin]

Mvp feels so good to forehand.

[@serenityinsilence]

I haven’t bought an mvp/axiom disc that matches what the flight numbers would suggest. They have all been consistently more overstable than I’d expect. It may come down to how flat the discs are, but they sure need to figure that part out.

[@OvertPumkin]

@serenityinsilence just means you throw at a different speed/rotation than they measure.

[@alwolschleger7242]

@@serenityinsilence Flight numbers are a) a joke and b) different from ecosystem to ecosystem. Trilogy always way overstates their stability (there's no Stag ever made that's a -1/2!). MVP understates their stability. Innova invented flight numbers but their discs basically make their flight numbers a range.

[@mikethomas5451]

Good video , especially for newer players trying to figure things out. This is a summary of the basic consensus opinion of the companies.

[@birdatkinson1]

As for small companies, Doomsday Discs are pretty unique and super fun to throw.

[@durtydan420]

Agree. I throw the blackout and cataclysm alot.

[@FinallyFastDotcom]

I found them randomly a few weeks ago, they were my first discs so I can't compare a lot(and I'm terrible), but I've really enjoyed them so far and feel the quality is better solid.

[@HansTheGeek]

Lattitude royal / DD supreme is top of the line imho. Also MVP's artwork with multiple foil colors as well as their colors/swirls are killer!

I think you were pretty spot on with these top companies. Would've liked to see Clash get a shout-out. I think they have a top 5 or better plastic & feel, although some of their molds are hard to get a hold of up til now. Also the Royal line from Lat 64 is a top plastic imo. Great video Trevor. 👍

I love Thoughtspace and I’m glad you mentioned them at the end. Just wish a disc or two would have been featured but I get it you can’t be throwing all day. They’re discs feel so great and look amazing and funny enough I only bag one mvp disc right now but hope to try more soon.

[@Blackenedwhiplash]

Thoughtspace is amazing, my main drivers are Mantra and Construct, my go-to understable mid is Mana, and my go-to putting putter is the Muse

[@asherbeaudin7811]

This was fun! It was good to see someone who has seen a lot of discs, molds, plastics, etc. to rate them against each other, and I mostly agree! I would love to see a similar video about a lot of the smaller and newer companies which are breaking onto the scene, even if they are manufactured by another mother company. I LOVE Clash and Mint, and I’d love to see companies like Doomsday and Lonestar on here

[@jacobtyman3726]

A local shop has a library card type idea and I’ve tried out lots of prodigy discs. The a3 pa5 pa3 m4 x3 and x2 all have a home in my bag. Their plastic feels amazing as well.

[@joeydupont7664]

(I’m partially bias being on their street team) but the 400 plastic for prodigy is the best plastic I’ve felt, perfect amount of flex & great grip. I think 90% of my bag is 400 or 400g.

[@Sanfordtime]

I love the new fractal plastic and color glow. I bought so many of the KJ PA3s in color glow and I will never switch from those putters

[@BryceRogers_]

Trevor, outstanding job on this video. Very judicious review and rating system, on top of a nice little history for each company. I’d love to see a part two of this where you dive into the “niche” manufacturer market. It’d be cool to see each of the attribute rankings, for companies such as: - Gateway - Legacy - Clash - RPM - Viking - Divergent - Finish Line - Elevation - Doomsday - Yikun And Prodiscus! A lot of those brands have been around for a long while - several of them longer than MVP.

[@CornDogDG]

The innova R pro pig is the most unique disc I’ve ever thrown. It is reliable, overstabl, and once it hits the ground it just stops on a dime. Amazing disc. I have a few other approach discs but this is a must have in my opinion. A solid overstable mid or zone type disc is a must have to pair with the pig just to have a slide in os disc because pig doesn’t slide at all. Which is lovely if you have the air space. I also bag a berg-x for forehands. The prodigy pa-5 rounds up my approach discs as the understabls e compliment to the berg-x.

[@ronjones-6977]

I've been an Innova Boy for over 35 years and have all my slots filled (phrasing) with discs in various states of wear. But I've struggled with finding consistency in fairway drivers. I just don't have the time to break in 3 or 4 to have enough to practice with. I found the Arrow from Gateway for that "flat-to-flip and not burn over" slot. I also found a nice disc for longer anheizer shots that will still fight to stay fairly stable in the Oxygen by Element, a new company. And you can't go wrong with Prodigy's F7 for rollers. I gave up dicking with new putters and currently bag a beadless Aviar that's close to 30 years old. This old dog is always willing to learn new tricks.

[@Naitsirk1]

[@GoManGoDiscGolf-he5ho]

Thanks for this video. Educational. I’m an Innova guy with some Discraft sprinkled in but I’ve been getting into Westside and MVP discs lately. I agree that Westside is often overlooked. I find their discs have great grip and glide well.

[@alwolschleger7242]

I started with Innova like everyone else. My bag's purely MVP and Westside these days. MVP started bumping Innova molds long before Conrad even knew they existed, and I have enough Bears and Swords to start my own shop.

[@yoda_bard_gaming1712]

I swear fission waves does have that effect that goes further. I can throw it 50ish ft further than any other distance driver that I have. As for the other molds I’ve tried from mvp, I can’t say that it has that effect lol. I think it’s just cuz the fission wave is understable and I love throwing on hyzer. For reference I normally throw 280-300 and the fission wave I can throw around 325-340ish

[@derpderpin1568]

You can get effectively the same thing from any of them, even if the flight numbers vary a bit. Every needed bag slot can be filled with an absolutely viable disc in a variety of great plastics.

[@PeteyGolfs]

Started out with a Discmania starter set. Really decent set to begin with but I lost all the disc 😂. Now I’m throwing mainly Innova and Discraft. Have a lot of MVPs now as well, I find it doesn’t really matter what brand they all make good discs!!

[@timevault3381]

Interesting, I like the looks and feel of Discraft.. I find they also have better names for the Discs than for example Innova and I don`t like the outer rim look from Mvp, though some of mvp stamps do look good but Discraft is more consistent.. I also need to take in consideration mainstream availability, reliability and pricing, that all being said I believe its Discraft for the win with no doubt..

[@mikemikemikemikemikemeup]

Thought space athletics is my number one disc golf brand. Don’t get me wrong I have a mixed bag. But thought Pace athletics is definitely overrepresented in my bag.

House of discs isn't examined correctly my guy. House of discs OWNS Trilogy, Discmania and Kastaplast. Trilogy is still manufactured by trilogy with trilogy plastic, Discmania is manufactured independently and so is Kastaplast. House just owns these brands now, but their molds and plastics are unchanged outside of in house innovations.

[@alwolschleger7242]

MVP's a newer company in contrast to Discraft and Innova, both of which have been around since the '80s, but MVP's been around for 14 years already. To be fair, they really broke out when Conrad hit the Holy Shot. All in all, I appreciate your ratings and you justify them well. Personally, I'm not a fan of Innova plastic, but give me MVP's neutron or Westside's VIP and I'm there.

Discraft, ESP and Z get rock solid in the colder months. PMB line did greatly improve their lineup. Outside of the Malta. 6. Lone Star Discs, Alpha/Bravo feel great. Hard to find in stores. Love my Walker. 7. Dynamic- Better, more modern selection than Latitude across the lineup outside of $25 discs. Trespass feels awful though. 8. Lat64 9. Axiom 10. Kasta- I like the feel, just dont know what driver to get since I know they run flippy. 11. MVP- Axiom has better molds and colored rim is more fun. 12.
