How DGU lists our F2’s for sale
There are two main ways that we list our Factory Seconds: F2 Specials and F2 Regulars.
F2 Specials
These discs have cool enough stamps to warrant a brief description in the item’s title (ex. F2 Star Mako3 – Hungry Looking Bigfoot stamps). Or, these discs have some other cool quality that deserves mention like swirly colors, a pop top, or a flat flight plate, etc. Since photos for each F2 are not possible, we do our best to provide a accurate description in the item's name. What’s a cool stamp? After doing this for years, we’ve certainly developed an eye for what looks cool. Trust us. When we go to the trouble to describe an F2 in the item title, it’s pretty cool.
Photo: Below is an example of a F2 Special disc. This disc would be titled: F2 Champion Firebird - Cartoony Llama Eating Chains Wearing Disc Golf Bag stamps
Whole Lotta Stamps? You may have noticed a few DGU F2’s that have a “Whole Lotta stamps” in the item’s name. Sometimes discs that have already become Factory Seconds are then used as Set Up discs, which are used by Innova hot stampers to properly align subsequent stamping projects. These F2’s often end up with a dozen or more various stamps, hence the description: Whole Lotta stamps.
Photo: Below is an example of a F2 Special disc with "Whole Lotta" stamps. This disc would be titled: F2 DX Valkyrie - Whole Lotta stamps
F2 Regulars:
This is the other way we list our Factory Second discs. For these F2’s, there is no description in the item’s title (F2 Star Mako3). Nothing really stood out for us about them. However, that’s ok. They’re still useful because we want to have as many discs, plastics, and weights of Innova’s inventory as possible. These discs will most often have random stock or custom stamps or a combination of both.
Bulk F2’s: Occasionally we have access to large amounts of blank Xouts, or we're tasked with livening up some F2's with an additional stamp. When this happens we like to get creative and decorate them with cool stamps that can include existing Innova or DGU stamps plus an F2 stamp or a brand new artsy-style F2 stamp. For these Bulk F2's we will provide a few sample photos since the stamp/s will be the same for each disc (aside from stamp color, which can still vary).
Photo: Below is an example of a Xout blank Star Daedalus. Instead of using a generic F2 stamp we decided to create DGU Original F2 art for it and a few other blank F2s. This disc is titled: F2 Party Foul Star Daedalus.
Other times, we’ll add a well-placed second stamp when we have several cases of F2 discs that need a breath of fresh air.
Photo: Below, several cases of DX Roc were stamped incorrectly with the Roc3 stamp, so we F2'd them and found a pretty sweet old Bottom Stamp to make these even sweeter. These are entitled: F2 DX Roc - Roc3 & Old Bottom Stamp Roc stamps.

Questions & Answers
What does factory second mean?
Factory Second Innova refers to cosmetically flawed discs in unused condition that have either minor imperfections in the plastic or stamp misprints or both. Because of this, these discs are sold at a discounted price. They perform the same as non F2 discs and are legal to use for tournaments.
What makes a disc a factory second?
A disc becomes a factory second for two main reasons: a stamp misprint or minor plastic imperfections. Factory second discs with stamp misprints often have multiple stamps while discs with plastic imperfections may have minor scratches, scuffs, chips, and other blemishes in and outside the plastic.
Is factory second the same as refurbished?
Factory second is not the same as refurbished. Factory second discs are new discs with either stamp misprints or minor plastic imperfections. Refurbished often refers to used items that have been repaired or renovated.
Can you use factory second discs in tournaments?
Factory second discs are legal to use in any disc golf tournaments. Since the imperfections in the discs are merely cosmetic, the discs themselves are unchanged. Factory second discs have the same flight characteristics and performance as regular production discs.
