[Compare] 2014 PDGA Approved Discs (Oct.)

[Aim For The Chains]

Came across a nice blog article by Infinite Discs but noticed the approved molds list is sorted wrong. I wanted to know all the unique molds that were actually approved this year so I compiled the list below from the PDGA approval sheet that was just updated this past Friday.

Here is a link to the Infinite Discs article--

Disc Brand Increase
•In the history of PDGA approved discs, 48 different brands have produced discs all time.
•Within the last two years, of the 27 that have made an approved disc, 14 of those brands had never created a disc previously. Over half of the brands creating new models today, did not exist before October 2012.

Great work, Aim. I had no idea so many discs came out this year.

It's interesting that Discraft only came out with the Buzzz OS. But that one disc was probably by far and away the best seller of the year (out of the new releases).

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Thanks! I find it weird that some discs like the Teebird3 and others don't go through approval. Even the newer salient molds technically just fall under Yukin and imagine there are a few other discs which the mold could have been previously approved but new named disc rereleased.

 

[elmexdela]

ever since i got sponsored by kastaplat my game has never been the same. great molds released this year.

also yeah discraft with only one, and DGA with only one.

diety kinda fell off the face off the earth

also thought westside woulda had more releases.

What does discraft have to make that's not already in their lineups. They come out with a new disc every year for the ace race.

HOLE19 sarl:
All in One
.

Looks like this a French Disc golf retailer who has their own putter. Seems like these areas of the sport growing will be key to some of the newer/smaller manufactures surviving.

something like the champ shark would be nice since those are oop

These are when the discs were approved, which does not always coincide with the release date.

Kinda sucks too because their one disc is pretty solid with a nice blend of plastic.

 

[Hyzer Ale]

Barsby was saying that they (Deity) have a few more releases coming out soon. Mentions it on the new episode of The Disc Golf Show

Wouldn't that just be a Z Buzzz, aren't they both beadless versions of the Roc/Wasp?

I thought I was familiar with most disc manufacturers, never heard of these.

Vibram came out with a disc called Four20... really? Thats like Easton coming out with a bat called the syringe. How disappointing.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about.

On the chance that you are serious, you can do some searching here and find out what happened. Basically that name didn't go over too well and they renamed it the Solace.

 

[nolangherity]

they renamed it the Solace.

Yeah and then I promptly sold all my vibram discs.

I don't pay attention to anything anyone does except Innova and Discraft. They only way I trial new company discs is if I get multiples in a merch payout. I have around 1000 discs, and never heard of the Solace until ^ that post. I have an Obex and an Ibex (I won in CTPS) and about 10 putters I got in my payout from the 2011 Am Worlds. I purchased 4 x-link ridges for mountain courses 3 years ago and haven't lost any. No reason to care what Vibram does except when they do something stupid like that.
