I'm convinced Jesse started his channel and company just to get people to send him free discs, so he can build the world's largest collection of weird discs 😂
It's working
There was never a doubt about this
I look forward to the day when I can visit the weird disc museum
Facts.
No way!!! That’s my inner core! And my dog!!! Had to send it back so I could buy one without the teeth marks, love what you stand for and make Jesse
UK viewer here! The Duchess and Code are both made and sold by DGUK, who retail discs but primarily work to install new courses around the country working with park recs & local councils!
Tomas from Lat 64 has said that they found no evidence that an overmolded disc will fly further, with that in mind and how difficult it can be make overmolded discs, that is why they cancelled the line. Also likely it could fringe on MVPs patent, so they wouldn't want that headache either.
I had heard of 6 of them! And the UB Disc Golf disc is the Procul in the Hand Candy plastic. We did a review on this disc years ago 😁
The dragon is a great disc. I bag it specifically for water hazard courses. Plus I throw it butter smooth straight so it’s came in clutch in some tunnel shots.
Shoutout to Crosslap discs from my hometown Kassel, Germany. The founder is German Masters Champion Andreas Thöne who also designed one of the earliest and best courses in Calden, near Kassel. His discs though are more suitable for beginners and the "inner circle rim" in the Shadowplay Putter according to insiders was a mold error for which there was not enough money to retool the mold ;)
Puma was literally the first disc I threw/owned. I was helping someone move at college in 2001ish and they left that disc behind. Never played disc golf and started with a throw away dog chewed up Puma. Cool to see, I almost forgot what the name was until I saw it on here.
The Dragon is a must have for me... Local 18 hole course,15 of which have water hazards, most of that being water carry. And most of those have guardian trees as well... Fun. So yeah, great having a floating disc that still has at least a decent bit of weight to it.
1/12 - I actually own a code x. Found it in a used bin and it made the bag for a while. Flies exactly like a midrange should but has such a small diameter, which makes it feel like a fairway. Overall, super unique disc! Thanks for the awesome video!
I love your weird disc videos! You are probably in the best place to be able to enlighten us on what used to be out there!
Amazing content filled with history and knowledge of disc technology. awesome video. ps love the dune!
As a weird disc connoisseur I’ve thrown a couple of the ones you hadn’t heard of, the Gryffon, Procul, Dutchess and Code X and still have the Code X. It’s nice, kind of like a Wasp or Bard.
I have the Salient Lockjaw in their premium plastic and it’s still buyable as the Yikun claws but I don’t think they have the premium plastic anymore.
Also have the landmine and several others you showed, agree that the landmine is oddly satisfying.
Weird discs can be super fun! I bag Stegos and people say that’s nuts but they fly great.
Yeah, I can’t express how jealous I am of some of the amazing rare discs people send you.
In the earlier part of my career, I became a bit obsessive about buying and trying new discs. It led to the discovery of some of the best discs in my bag. It's how I discovered Kastaplast (Kaxe/Kaxe Z) and Daredevil Discs (I will always have a Walrus and Woodchuck) back in 2014 or 2015. The flip side of that coin is that I have also tried some of the worst discs ever made. I have actually owned and thrown 17 different discs that were discussed (and a bunch that weren't). I've actually owned and thrown the Raging Inferno DT, Lockjaw, #1 & #2 Flyer, Blowfly I & II, Epic, Arrow, and Sharpshooters, anything Nite Ize, the Griffon, both Crosslap Discs, the Procul, Bryce, Ninja, and Diablo DT. I used to buy Dragons to give to new players when I would take someone out to show them the game. The Yeti is a great disc from Daredevil. I don't bag it anymore, but it was a fun disc for a long time.
I really enjoyed the video and love what you guys are doing for the sport. Keep up the good work.
I have actually heard of quite a few of those discs and actually own a handful myself. I have had quite the fascination with odd and unique discs and would love to get my hands on some more. Informative as always Jesse 👍
Hand Candy is the Procul. They were going for the first “boutique” disc brand. Early runs were hand poured I believe
BTW that UB Hand Candy is called the Tasty Percul made by UB Disc Golf
The Crosslap Credo was the only one of the 12 I had heard of...because a couple weeks ago I met a guy who used them as his main putter at the Southern California Amateur Series Championships
Great video. I have an Innova Dragon and it's known in my friend group as "the meme disc" it's so hilariously beat in and understable. You can get a new one pretty easily in finland ^^
Great video!
I still have several RIP discs. And yes, I have a Quarter K.. the one preceding the Quarter K2. Then again, I’ve been playing disc golf since 1972 when Wham-O Frisbees were the only discs in existence.. before baskets or chains, before Steady Ed or Dave Dunipace.. yeah, I’m old.
Hello others reading these comments. I run a lost and found for a club. I would like to suggest those discs that won't sell or noone will pick up send them to Trash Panda. He will give you a discount which you can order a bunch of stuff for the entire club. This also gives Tash Panda an opportunity to experiment on recycling different plastics and maybe give him some more ideas on how to recycle them.
I throw some Plastic Paradise discs(Optimizer and Maximizers) and never heard of one of the 12 odd discs. Great video!
I have that same Launch Code X! It was from a DiscMember box a couple years ago.
The Puma!
Haha Taking me down memory lane.
I bagged that and a Barracuda when I was 12 y/o playing disc golf with my dad.
I only knew the Sportineer ones so like 2-3 out of 12 and was reminded of the duchess when the video flashback started but didnt remember it offhand!
I have not heard of any of these but then again I am very new to the sport. Super interesting though to see and learn about them.
5/12: both Launch discs (although I only bagged their Elder, which is a better Shryke), the Lat64 Bryce, Innova Dragon and Gateway Ninja.
Franklin premium version is pretty legit. Some flashing. Gannon burr used them in a video last year.
Love the weird discs and owned most of them. Just heard you interview with SmashBoxx. Loved the discussion about QuestAT. Steve was amazing. I emailed him once about his discs and he sent me a box of 10 discs. I still bag the 10 meter brick and 10 meter crossfire. They have very specific uses that NO OTHER disc can replicate. One thing I did not hear you mention is that he was a pioneer on over-mold -- long before MVP. Although, MVP perfected it. But Steve's over-mold discs floated. So there is that!
I’m getting the seconds bundle for Christmas from my parents!!! I’m new to disc golf so I’m super excited.
On the last disc, it looks like you could snap in short glow sticks, especially given the plastic color. Fly By Nite had a prototype putter where you could put an 8" glow stick in the rim, maybe this is Fly By Nite prototype driver?
This is exactly what I thought as well.
I own a red Dragon. I bought it used like 20 years ago when I was starting out. I now keep it for when I have friends who are new to disc golf since it's understable and they can throw it around water without worrying about losing it. lol
I knew 2 from a Foundation Starter Pack Video, the Grampus and Volador. Trevor almost kept the Grampus in his bag.
All the discs you think look like they went through a lawnmower look like they played several rounds at my local course... we got rock.
I own the Franklin starter set(all 3) and a Daredevil Yeti. Starter set was on close-out for $14 @ my local supermarket 😂. I've had my yeti a few years; has an odd concave wing shape in addition to that nano-bead. If you haven't gotten that Franklin putter yet, I'll ask my daughter if she'll be willing to part with it. Great stuff, as usual dude!
i heard of three of those, i bagged a griffon a while back and the 2 right before were in a starter set challenge on foundation
I love the flashflight putter! I have 2 putters, but they stopped making them before I was able to get the mid and driver. I would have bought 2 or 3 sets if I'd been playing back then.
All I want for Christmas is a square putter over molded with magnets in it .
I've got a friend who putts with and Aerobie Arrow, he LOVES that thing. He uses a scoober style putt and it flies very straight for him like that.
Of the 12 discs I'm not supposed to have heard of, I actually knew the 2 Sporteer ones. I've got a friend who wanted to pick up Disc Golfing over the summer and found a Sporteer starter set he didn't know he had, both of those discs were in it
The codex was part of a disc member monthly box. I have 2 friends that have them and still use them, but that was the only one of the 12 I had heard about.
I have a Launch Code X, same color and stamp. It was in a DiscMember subscription box.
I have heard of the Sportneer Discs. I was given the 6 disc starter set as a gift one Christmas. They have the water themed set and the other set has Mauri themed tattoo looking stamps. They fly OK. I throw them when I see alot of water. 😁
Very fun stuff
Ha ! Love it...I work at Nite Ize... I have those flashlight discs here.
The Lat 64 overmold midrange Gobi is a fantastic Disc and to this day a staple in my bag
I still have my Innova Puma in my bag. It was my favorite disc as a kid!
Friends have been throwing the code for years favorite mid except they didn't know what it was. Got it in a mystery box and loved it.
The last disc was a Quest AT odyssey, without the overmold, i have one before the overmold and its the same disc. Hope i was able to shed some light and if so throw me some plastic!😊
I have the NQV champion driver. Found it along with a corvette and a shark in the woods. All unmarked haha
1/12. Heard of the UB hand candy. As a gummy plastic aficionado, I've always wanted to try one.
The core of that overmolded disc is a Gateway Overmold Assassin.
A few of my recent run TI swirl Discraft Scorch’s have a little top groove like the Flyer.
I got the hand candy one in a tournament players pack years ago then the mid range the one with the TMNT ooze container stamp looking one I got in a disc store monthly box
The code x... I have one! I used to scroll through the weird manufacturers on infinite and buy the small company plastic when I could find it. It's a much more overstable midrange disc than you would think.
My dad still has a Raging Inferno on the shelf. I had a different disc that had dimples on the bottom but were different looking. More like scales on a fish. I'm not sure what brand it was. I recently picket up an Aerobie Arrow though! The OG Berg!
Yep... 0 out of 12 on the discs. Fascinating video!
My starter set had that NQV champion driver! Super flippy, but not unusable
I remember finding a latitude 64 over molded disc in the used bin at Marshall Street disc golf last year. I should have bought it for posterity.
I’ve heard of the first one, the ZPQ or whatever it was, only because I found one at my local course. Also heard of Rip Discs. I have a Relic, which is their overmold putter
The Puma was so awesome back in the day
Yep!
Innova Puma and Barracuda were my go to’s back as a kid playing DG with my dad and his coworkers.
Hah It’s freaky to me how much the game has changed since then.
I found a Lat64 Fuji in a pond, which is one of their overmold midranges. It's actually a pretty decent disc.
Daredevil discs is Canadian. I want to like them, but the plastic is so weird.
I like the "Elastic Performance" plastic. it's basically a soft rubber, but maybe not as flexible as a Divergent Stay-Put, but slightly more flexible than K1 Soft. It's nice!
Crosslap retails other brands as well as manufacturer their own discs here in Germany.
So when shopping for discs in Germany sooner or later you run across their online shop. Local retailers are quite rare in Germany 😢
You highlighted the Epic, Arrow, and Dragon. Fun fact. All Aerobie plastic also floats.
Go and forehand the Arrow and let me know what you think!
Keep an eye out for the Aerobie Sharpshoots #1, 2, or 3. They have some fun rims also!
I have heard of the crampus, and the XCOM discs are actually pretty decent! I've got a couple. They are manufactured by a fairly new facility in Asia, where disc golf is pretty new. Those are the only 2 I've heard of.
That unknown proto is a Raider! If you look at the PDGA approved disc Raider page it’s under photos!
I basically only knew of the aerobes discs since I throw a arrow personally but am considering switching to a berg
Bought an epic when they came out, back when I first started disc golfing. Still have it and i's in pretty good shape, because it didn't get much use lol. I wish I had kept more of my older discs from back then. Crazy to think that when I started, the Beast had just came out, and it was the fastest disc in Innovas lineup (Valkyrie was still the record holder for distance). Star plastic wasn't even a thing. You had DX for the beginners and some pros, Pro plastic was considered the go to for pros because of its glide and grip, and Champion was just the work horse durable plastic. The price hasn't even changed much either. A tie Dye champion or Z plastic was $20-25 depending on where you bought it.
That final and unknown disc would be perfect for an idea I want to bring to life which is a disc that has flint in the rim so when you throw it at pavement at night it would create sparks.
I’ve seen a couple of the over molded latitude discs in used bins. But only a couple.
When I first started DG I had the Arrow and the Epic. The Epic flies far but if the disc hits anything solid it will immediately change stability.
I've seen all the grip and rip discs before but thats probably because I played primarily in Oregon 20+ years ago.
5/12. I bought some discs by obscure brands from Infinite Discs, including Launch, Disc Golf UK, Crosslap, and XCom, so I have all of those.
I have the Franklin putter and its money. No joke.
I bag a Launch Cypher. I love that disc. I won it at league and it's been in my bag ever since...so I've heard of Launch, but that's it.
I feel like the ballistic sounded like something I've heard of but will say 0 for me. Awesome list for sure. This was a fun video.
I thought that as well and then realized that I was thinking of the Lattitude Ballista… 🤷♂️
@@corvusclimbs2166 I'm pretty sure this company was talked about on DG Course Review years back but now that you bring that up maybe I thought that too 😂
5/12! I actually got that Sportiner starter set off of Amazon as my first set of discs. They aren't bad discs, but not very beginner friendly.
They're VERY weird though, definitely manufactured by XCOM. The ones with fish names use old XCOM names and stamps, but for different speed discs then what XCOM used. For example, the Sportiner Grampus is a putter while the XCOM Grampus was a midrange!
The company also uses XCOM's new names and stamps switched around the same way. They sell both sets as a starter set for around $40. Super strange!
I have two sets of the Franklin starter set. More than willing to give them up for a future video? Maybe a disc swap for an authentic trashpanda? 🎉 Merry discmas!
There certainly was a Quarter K 1. I still have an un-thrown one in a bag on my rack. They were a cool idea but that plastic was so soft that the first tree you hit would basically ruin the integrity of its flight.
the grooves on the lockjaw and the #1flyer are known as the lines of headrick The epic was/is an amazing overhand disc. The disc "tuned" properly will do a barrel roll, flatten out and fly flat out of an overhand throw
I have a Cousin that plays with the Arrow as a need to stop putter, he rarely uses the mold and even in his 40's he can throw a putter GT Bangor soft X past 400 feet last I saw him play in 2019 with just a bag of GT Bangor Soft X and then 2--3 old Soft plastic for putting on a course the longest hole was 400 feet. He has other 7--9 fairway and control distance drivers at 9--11 speed but never really needs to use them.
2/12 So alot of people have heard of the Grumpus but my first starter set was the full 6 disc Sportneer set. I still use the driver and Midrange on occasion but with the soft plastic they are becoming very flippy. They will probably all end up in your program eventually haha
Heard of the Ballistic. RIP Disc golf was a company of one dude by the name of Skipper Hamilton. I had 2 signed 1st run ballistics back in the day. I also used to putt with a graboide, it's a fantastic putter with a real odd bead. I also own a Relic that's been thrown very little. The overmolding was actually more of a rubber. Made the putters grab chains like crazy. If you want more info I can help with RIP.
Got 2 XCom Griffon/XPT3 here but with S5, G4, T-2, F0. One red Premium and a Premium Glow, the Glow one have a really cool stamp imo! Squirls a bit if hard thrown but very good point and shoot! ;D Sea Serpent = Mentor still in production by Yikun for DM, not with the diode though, that diode contraprion were/is also in other discs Yikun produces for example Viking Discs that give their Storm plastic the name Fire plastic with a diode ;D
as a brand new rookie to disc golf. The innova Dragon is a great disc.
That last one really intrigues me. I hope the creator somehow sees this video
*Discs never heard of*
I bought the NQV starter set on Amazon in Nov 23 just to get something to throw. Disc is ultra hard and uncomfortable. Almost immediately ordered a box of misprints from a major manufacturer to replace all of the NQV discs. NQV is better to give to a kid that’s gonna throw it in the lake. 🤦♂️ 6:59
I've heard of the crosslap disc. They also make the best cart on the market!
Surprised you didn't get any Discraft Waves aka the Discraft Groove
I have herd of several of those.the one at the kinda looks like a twin sword but with out the over-mold
When are those hoodies going on sale??? So slick!
Kinda late to the party but I'm actually a big fan of Daredevil Discs. Got my first ace with their Walrus Mid.
My buddy pulled out his disc golf bag from the late 90's/ early 00's and we found an innova Monarch and Wolf. The wolf is basically a Rhino top mold and a Roc bottom mold.
The Monarch has a weird semicircle notch removed from the flight plate.
Keep an eye open for both!
Monarch are still produced.
a number 1 flyer just ended up in my local used bin omg
When I was younger I had a bunch of discs from Lightning discs, I actually have a disc that is about 95% dimples with a dead Bart Simpson stamp on it called the grateful dude, it’s the only disc I ever seen like it
i bag 2 crosslap credos. i have 1 in base and 1 in the soft. they are great unknown approach discs.
Grew up in Oregon, that where I started DG at champoeg state park disc golf. I had the Relic and Graboid. Very firm, odd disc even as a new player, I just like they were local, now lost or donated years ago.
head of 2 of the 12 discs in the "never heard of" category. If you're looking for crazy under stable, throw a Divergent Tiyanik
3: I own a Griffon. Found it on Infinite discs a few years back. Great beginner disc.
I have seen Foundation use the Grampus. And I have heard of the Duchess because I got my mom a Baron. Underrated plastic.
P.S. Lat 64's overmolded discs are underrated as heck
There WAS a Quarter K 1! The 2 was more of what we consider something like Star or ESP plastic, and it was flippier than the original QK. The original one was a SUPER interesting disc to throw - it was, if I remember correctly, the PhD thesis for its inventor. It was essentially unaffected by wind. Like freakily so. It was slightly overstable for a distance driver. It's big flaw, and what led to the QK2's development, is that the plastic wouldn't ding when you hit a tree. It would bubble up a BIG section of the top of the disc. Like 3 inches on either side of the tree hit would suddenly have the weirdest extra dome. Once the whole top of the disc became domey like that, it would essentially become too flippy to use. Until then though? Super nice.
