- The first throw Kalevi “Aceman” Louhivuori made with the Star Charger found chains. Now it’s your turn to capture some of that magic with this special edition Aceman disc.How this batch of Star Charger feels: Modest to noticeable dome. 160-164 weight are poppy. Surefire Star grip.From Box to Ace: It’s true. The very first throw Aceman made with the Star Charger was a 232-foot hole-in-one at his backyard course in Porvoo, Finland. Here it is in case you haven’t seen it. Ace Academy: The video is a part of his Ace Academy YouTube channel where you’ll find all sorts of videos featuring him doing challenges, playing with friends and disc golf celebrities, and of course making aces.This all began during the pandemic when he delved deeper into disc golf and decided to make light-hearted videos to spread cheer during a dark time.More about the stamp: So we know why an ace is featured on the disc, but what about the trumpet? When he’s not making ace videos, Louhivuori is a full-time musician, specifically a trumpet player as well a composer. His band, the Northern Governors, opened for Nora Jones at the 2012 Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. Check out this video of the performance. You can’t miss Louhivuori in his amazing yellow suite.Aceman to the rescue: Louhivuori has been a fan of superheroes, specifically Superman, since he was small. So, coming up with the Aceman moniker felt pretty natural. Here’s a cool comic-like explanation of Aceman.More about the disc: The Innova Charger is a slightly overstable maximum distance driver that unloads a big hit on the fairway. During mild and tailwind conditions you’ll experience a very fast, straight flight, followed by slight turn, and ending with reliable fade. Louhivuori says he uses the Charger particularly for woodsy situations when he doesn’t want too much fade, but still needs to crank one out to 400-feet and beyond. Here’s another sweet Charger shot by Aceman. This time, he throws it forehand. Charger Flight Numbers: 13 / 5 / -1 / 2Aceman Event: Louhivuori says he’s planning an Aceman Invitational after the European Open in July in Espoo, Finland where he plans to release more Aceman Chargers and announce that a 9-hole children’s course is being sent to Ukraine.Close

- You’ve heard of ugly produce. Well, this Bad Apple featured on the Color Glow XT Xero takes the cake, or perhaps steals it. Yep, this guy has definitely turned.***A Brian Allen 3-Color DesignRun Details: Flat. Extremely grippy Color Glow XT plastic. The chains will have no choice but to catch this flingin’ piece of fruit.More about the stamp: Brian Allen may be the one artist that can turn a pedestrian piece of fruit into something that will make you squirm in your seat. That’s what he did with the Bad Apple design. Even the leaf on the Bad Apple’s stem could send a shiver up your spine. “The ‘Bad Apple’ pun was corny but irresistible here. I enjoy taking pleasant-looking subjects and twisting them,” said Allen.More about the Xero: The medium profile Xero has a similar look to an Aviar, but with a more compact feel and rounded rim that allows you to really sling this disc straight into the basket. Long, straight putts are also encouraged with this disc.Close

Track your next birdie with this bad ass disc.More about the stamp: Oooooh. Those scary dinosaurs are in T-R-O-U-B-L-E! Back for a new adventure, the Yeti finds himself in the middle of a good ol’ fashion dinosaur hunt, which has been vividly brought to life by artist Marm O. Set. Reading, who likes to enlist disc golf’s most talented artists for his custom Yeti themed releases, was excited to work with Marm O. Set for the first time. They went with a prehistoric setting not just because it’s super cool to see the Yeti in the Mesozoic, but also as a nod to Reading’s younger brother, Bryan Woods, who co-wrote and co-directed Sony Pictures’ new sci-fi thriller movie “65”(now in theatres). In it, two human-like characters try to evade the slobbering jaws of a T Rex and other predatorial dinos. In our disc design, the tables are turned, and the Yeti is in hot pursuit of the T Rex.**A portion of the proceeds from these discs will go toward Reading and his touring efforts.More about the Star Destroyer: The Destroyer is the distance driver all others are judged by. It is very fast and overstable. This disc is much like a faster Wraith, but with a little more high and low speed stability. Great disc for sidearm throwers and those with lots of power.** A select number also have stock Bottom Stamp Destroyer stamps. These will be randomly selected for orders.Destroyer Flight Numbers: 12 / 5 / -1 / 3Why you should buy one: Yeti Vs. Dinosaurs. That sounds even better than Alien Vs. Predator.

- There’s no avoiding this incredible disc. Once you taste the consistently sweet results of our Cereal Thrillers Halo Aviar, you’ll go Loco for Cocoa Putts every time!***A Marm O. Set 3-Color DesignNotice: Center Disc Color & Stamp Color Combinations will vary. Halo effect will vary.How this batch of Halo Aviar feels: Flat. Soft-ish Halo Star plastic. Great grip even with XXL 3-Color stamp design.More about the stamp: Do you consume a full round of disc golf then drink the proverbial chocolate milk remaining in the bowl? If so, you’re a prime candidate for the Cocoa Putts Halo Star Aviar designed by artist Marm O. Set, now in his fifth Cereal Thriller installment. For Cocoa Putts, Marm O. Set paid particular attention to the negative space for the word “Cocoa”, so that he could insert a certain bird (one you may be familiar with) putting at a disc golf basket.Cocoa Putts are great for:Starting your morning round off rightAn after school/ work treatMore about the Halo Aviar Putt & Approach Disc: The Aviar Putt & Approach is the number one putter in disc golf.

- Tee pad clear? Check. Flight path confirmed? Check. Target locked? Check. All systems are go for the Control Panel Star Thunderbird, which gives you an imaginary peek under the hood of a flying disc.How this batch of Star Thunderbird feels: Pretty flat to modest dome. 170-172 grams have noticeable dome. Big time Star plastic grip.More about the stamp: Ever pretend your disc was a mechanical device with gizmos and doodads to dial-in before each shot? Artist Levi Whitpan has and he came up with a super fun what-if visualization for all us to enjoy.It all started as a joke. “Hold on guys, my discs have been turned off this whole time,” Whitpan or his friends would occasionally say if they were having a bad start to the round. After a while, though, that joke got Whitpan thinking about a potential disc design – which initially was just a simple light switch with a piece of tape that read, “Always leave on.”More Gizmos! But the more Whitpan thought about it, the more the design began to gain additional gadget and gizmo components. What resulted was a control panel any gearhead would love to work on. Check out the exposed wires. Not only do they tie-in the design’s many pieces, but they give the artwork that DIY, homemade feel Whitpan was going for – as if a basement tinkerer had made it from whatever spare parts he/she had.More about the Innova Thunderbird disc: The Thunderbird can be described as a seasoned Firebird with less fade. It is predictable in wind and a great long range placement driver. Pros will appreciate the shot shaping ability of this driver while less experienced players will find a consistent, predictable flight.Thunderbird Model Flight Numbers: 9 / 5 / 0 / 2Golden nuggets: Did you catch the Spinaltap movie reference for the Torque dial? And what about the Exclamation Point switch? “I think only the person that created this monster in their basement knows what it does for sure. Surely something cool!” said Whitpan.Close

It’ll be the pride of your bag.More about the stamp: How do you get to be king of the jungle? You face the day with your loudest roar.

Artist Micah Malone provides us with a Lion’s roar that should inspire any us to dig deep as we climb to the top.More about the Halo Lion: The convex rim, small bead and flat flight plate give the Lion a comfortable grip and create a neutral flight.

Set 3-Color Design.Notice: Center Disc Color & Stamp Color Combinations will vary. Halo effect will vary.How this batch of Halo AviarX3 feels: Flat. Softer Halo Star plastic feel.
