How we pick

This page exists because we make a specific claim about our recommendations and a specific non-claim, and both deserve to be verifiable. The claim is that every factual statement on this site is traceable to a published source. The non-claim is that we have not tested any of this equipment ourselves.

What we actually do

1. Flight numbers come from the manufacturer, and nowhere else

Every speed, glide, turn and fade figure for all 55 disc molds on this site was read from the manufacturer’s own published product page — Innova’s factory store, discraft.com, latitude64.com and dynamicdiscs.com — on 13 October 2026. Each disc links to the exact page its numbers came from, and so does every roundup that mentions it.

This sounds obvious and mostly is not done. Flight numbers are routinely copied between review sites until they drift from what the manufacturer actually publishes, and a number that has been through three sites is not a specification any more.

2. Gear specs come from the manufacturer, and only where published

The same applies to the 43 bags, carts, baskets and shoes covered here. Where a manufacturer publishes a disc capacity or a material, we state it and cite it. Where they do not, the spec row is simply absent rather than estimated. An invented capacity figure is worse than no figure.

3. Products must be real and currently sold

Every product named on this site was confirmed as listed for sale on its own manufacturer’s store before publication. We do not recommend discontinued molds, and when something goes out of production we remove it rather than leaving a dead recommendation on the page.

4. Picks are ordered by fit to a level, not by commission

Every pick on this site states who it suits in level terms, and the ordering within a roundup reflects how well it fits that level’s buyer. Commission rates play no part in the ordering. Where the honest answer is that a cheaper product is better for a given reader, that is the answer we give.

5. Where a claim is contested, we say so

Plenty of disc golf advice is genuinely disputed — whether weight or stability matters more for a developing arm, whether a cart beats a backpack, whether premium plastic is worth the price. Where there is a real trade-off we describe both sides and tell you which situation each suits, rather than picking a side and hiding the other.

What we do not do

We do not test equipment

There is no test lab here, no field-testing program, no measured throw data and no stable of review units. Nothing on this site should be read as “we threw this and here is what happened”, because we did not.

That is a real limitation and worth being clear about. If what you want is a reviewer who has thrown four hundred discs and can tell you how a specific run of plastic feels in hand, this is not that site, and you should look for one that publishes its testing method. What we offer instead is that every number here is the manufacturer’s own and every recommendation explains its reasoning from those numbers, which you can check.

We do not publish ratings or star scores

Some sites give products a numeric score. We do not, because a score implies a measurement, and we have not measured anything. The nearest we get is stating clearly who a product suits and who it does not, which carries the same information without implying a precision we do not have.

We do not publish reviews or testimonials

There are no customer reviews, star ratings or testimonials anywhere on this site. We have not collected any, and fabricating them to fill a layout would be both dishonest and, in most jurisdictions, illegal.

We do not quote prices we cannot verify

Prices change constantly, and a price quoted in an article is usually wrong within weeks. Where we have a live, dated price from the retailer’s own data we show it with the date attached. Where we do not, the button says to check the price rather than naming a number. Right now, that is every product on this site.

What would change a pick

• A manufacturer changing the published numbers. Molds are occasionally re-rated. When that happens the registry entry and every page that reads from it update together, because the numbers live in exactly one place.
• A product going out of production, or becoming consistently unavailable at normal retail.
• A better fit appearing for the same level and job. Recommendations are not permanent, and “we have always recommended it” is not a reason to keep doing so.
• A reader telling us we are wrong, with a source. This is the fastest route. See the editorial policy for how corrections are handled.
