      The History of Disc Golf

      Disc Golf United - July 22, 2021

      The exact origins of disc golf history are hard to trace. People have been playing catch and throwing flying discs around since the days of the old Frisbie Pie tins in the late 1800s. Somewhere along the way, someone must have developed the concept of disc golf and thought about throwing the disc at a specific target and counting how many throws it would take to get from point A to point B.

      “Steady” Ed—The Father of Disc Golf

      The man credited as the “Father of Disc Golf” as we know it today was “Steady” Ed Headrick (PDGA Member #001). He patented many key inventions. The first was the plastic Frisbee that he developed in 1966 while working at the Wham-O toy company. And yes, the name is a nod to the old Frisbie pie tins that are credited for starting the flying di

      Anatomy of a Disc Golf Disc

      Disc Golf United - July 08, 2021

      Though the design of a flying disc may seem relatively simple, there is a lot of science that goes into the architecture of each mold. It’s more than just a plastic circle that magically floats through the air. Disc golf discs are molded with certain aerodynamic qualities and features to achieve very specific flight characteristics.

      Some differences are clear when the disc flies. You can easily see what makes a flatter, sharper-edged distance driver disc type different from a putter with a rounded edge and deep rim. One disc flight is designed to cut through the air and achieve maximum distance when thrown at high speeds. The other is designed for optimal control o

      Which is the Best Disc Golf Bag?

      Disc Golf United - July 01, 2021

      One of the best things about becoming an avid disc golfer is getting into all the gear. It’s exciting to buy new discs, but then comes the all-important question of how will you carry them all? That’s when you start shopping around to find the disc golf bag that is best for you.

      “Best for you” is the key statement here. Simply asking “What is the best disc golf bag?” is a loaded question. Ask any manufacturer and they’ll tell you their disc golf bags are the best. Ask any disc golf retailer, and they’ll point you to whatever they have in stock. Ultimately, you want to find a bag that gives you the functionality you need and the features you want.

      Here is our guide to Innova’s best disc golf bags.

      The History of Innova Disc Golf

      Disc Golf United - June 24, 2021

      The sport of disc golf was around a long time before Innova. However, this company changed the game forever and is responsible for what we now know as modern disc design. There have been many key figures involved in the company throughout the history of disc golf, but none more influential than founder, Dave Dunipace.

      Innovating Disc Design

      Dave was an avid disc golfer and skilled distance thrower as disc sports grew to prominence in the 1970s. He still is an avid player. If you play disc golf in Southern California, there’s a good chance you’ll run into him on one of the courses. Dave started tinkering with his own disc designs in the early 1980s. He would cobble together pieces from multiple discs and try to form his own modern disc golf shapes to see what worked best.

      Want Extra Stability? Look for Innova X-Series Discs!

      Disc Golf United - June 17, 2021

      We’ve covered the 3-Series lower-profile design. We talked about the VTech rim with a convex shape and more weight distributed to the outer edges of the disc. We have one last Innova variant to cover, and that is the X-Series.

      What is Innova VTech?

      Disc Golf United - May 27, 2021

      In our previous blog article, we talked about the science and story behind Innova’s 3-Series discs like the Leopard3, Roc3 or TeeBird3. Today, we want to talk about VTech, which is a disc molding technique utilized on certain Innova discs.

      The Shark that Started it All

      The first disc in Innova’s lineup to utilize VTech was the Shark, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. Now

Shimmer S-Line FD2 (Reinvented)

Be the first to review this product

The FD2 has been retooled, or as we at Discmania like to say, “Reinvented”. The first release of the Reinvented FD2 is in Shimmer plastic. Shiny in look and slightly softer than our standard S-Line in feel, the Shimmer FD2 will immediately become one of the most reliable discs in your bag. Throw it on a hyzer angle, even into a strong wind and it will stay on that angle. Ripping it flat and hard you will see some moderate distance with a possible a hint of turn before it strongly fights towards the ground. You can carve up some flex shots or “S shots” when throwing with an anhyzer angle.
 
*The Reinvented FD2 came out a little more on the overstable side in the Shimmer plastic, we do anticipate that the Shimmer version will be the most overstable Reinvented FD2.
All sales of this disc directly support the sole PDGA Major and the most competitive event on the European continent during 2018, the Konopiste Open. This highly prestigious event, located right next to Prague, Czech Republic, has a rich history in cooperation with Discmania and we’re happy to celebrate that with this very special first release of the reinvented FD2.
