- Josh from AGL sent us a dozen discs to explore as we assess Above Ground Level discs and give you our First Impressions!
Watch the latest episode of our podcast, All Six Sides, where we sit down with AGL owner Josh Jones to learn more about the origins of AGL, their environmental focus and what the future holds for a smaller disc golf manufacturer: • Tree seeds in plastics...

Disc testing mixed with dendrology lessons! No one does it better than six sided discs.
Thank you so so much for taking the time to do such a thorough AGL review. Ive been wanting to try out a few of their molds but finding good reviews has been impossible.
Love to see new and upcoming manufacturers! Interesting lineup!
Another Banger! Thanks SSD!
Brilliant marketing! AGL should come with a "Sugar Magnolia" disc, with a Grateful Dead stamp. That Locust flight is awesome.
I just bought an AGL Hemp Sycamore today! I immediately received an email telling me that a tree would be planted!
This disc will complete my recycled/hemp blend set. I can't wait to try out my new disc.
Hey, I am digging this content, I currently throw for the Forest Team on AGL! I hope everyone enjoys these molds as much as I have grown to love them, and it’s good for the planet. 🤙 The newest mold they came out with is the Money Tree, 9,6,-2,1, it’s a lovely staple in the bag!
Another fantastic video with great disc knowledge and plenty of #TreeFacts peppered in!
Love it! They have some super fun molds! I think the new money tree is my favorite, but super love the reliable Sycamore and Acacia
My 10-year-old LOVES putting with a Wizard (so we'll definitely have to try out the Acacia).
I bag a Douglas Fir for spinny approaches within 120 feet or so, a Woodland Baobab for overstable approaches, and a Magnolia for slightly overstable mid. Havent gotten along with the Sycamore unfortunately. The Locust is an amazing disc but ultimately it loses out to the Danny Beauchamp Diablo in my bag. They're an amazing company and their dedication to sustainability is nearly unmatched.
The beech is not the only midrange with a double bead. When Wild Discs was produced by Gateway, the original run of the Addax was also double beaded, but it was a lot straighter than the beech
The AGL spruce is money. One of the best mids out!
The Douglas Fir is easily my most thrown disc.
I've picked up a most of their molds at this point. Manzanita, Ponderosa, Acacia, dogwood, baobab, spruce, magnolia, beech, Sycamore, locust, and redwood. The Magnolia has never left my bag, the others are in and out depending on the course and how I feel that day
I'm curious, what is the purpose of the baobab? Approach shots around an obstacle? Or is it for wind?
@@sandonhoneyman I'd say both. It's good for tight doglegs left or right, tight s-bends, etc. Some people love throwing super overstable discs. I'm not typically one to do that. I couldn't possibly pump a baobab past 250ft even with a hard flex. Even Beech that I have is too overstable. I just stick to my Pyro for overstable mid shots, and my Gateway Devilhawk for my os putter.
I had a Sycamore in my bag for a while but didn't seem to find the need for an understable fairway. But I love trees and will be on the look out for another one that might fill a gap in my bag.
AGL is dope! If you're new to them and have a lower arm speed check out the new Money Tree! Flies like a Westside Hatchet. Also the Acacia, Douglas Fir, Spruce, and Locust will all fight for a spot in your bag! Cant say enough good things about them and Gateway recently!
Acacia is my go to, a straighter glidier wizard (Ponderosa top, Wizard bottom I believe)
In my experience the Alpine Magnolias will fill that flippy mid range slot 🤙
Buried the lead here....Sustainable plastics!
I like big beads and I can not lie.
first
I have a small problem with the unspoken fact about "planting a tree"...
1: plants (and that's not just trees) supply only 28% of our oxygen
2: there are approximately 3 trillion trees on earth...
so.. Planting a tree goes a long way to upping the supply of oxygen by one three-trillionth of 28% (not sure my calculator works on that many decimal points below 1...
and on average a tree removes 10-40kg of carbon a year..
so... we would need to plant about 40 billion trees every year, then wait for decades to see any positive effect... and that effect would be only canceling the increased CO2 output of mankind...
Unfortunately Big Business can "offset" their Carbon footprint with credits from planting trees that actually have no where near the effect of the carbon they are making... but it's a way they can buy acceptance..
(My Theory (and a loose one at that) is we just plant huge fields of bamboo, Use that for everything... and BURY most of it.. (As it's one of the quickest ways to convert CO2 to carbon.. and shove it back in the ground))
I throw plastic at trees... that's why I'm here.
No. It is physically impossible for disc purchases to plant trees.
