For those who have following the DIY recycled disc odyssey that Jesse has been on, the first PDGA approved disc is here!
The Inner Core is a putter, flight numbers 2/4/-0.5/0. Those who have thrown it say that it really is an extremely straight flyer out of the box that simply holds the angle you put it on. It's manufactured in CO from recycled TPU plastic that is sourced from a recycler also in CO.
Here is a little mini-documentary on the journey from wild idea to first run of approved discs. If you have watched any of his stuff before, this is much more professionally put together, but his genuine enthusiasm for both disc golf and making recycled discs still comes through.
One little detail that I think shows that this is a guy who has been really thinking things through is that every disc they make will have the month and year of manufacturer stamped into it. He specifically references the idea that you won't have to guess what run the disc is from, it's right there on the disc. Especially given the additional variance that's likely to come from using post consumer recycled plastic, that's a really nice touch.
I bought two and I'm looking forward to trying them out.
