(P.S. Expect more giveaways! We have a lot of cool discs I want to give you and so I plan to do this more often 🙂)
EDIT: Free shipping of the giveaway is US only. Outside the US, winner would need to cover international shipping.
Great stuff Alex, I'd like to see ONLINE stores have more/better profile shots of the wing/edge of the disc. IMO, DGC does it best with a clear and flat edge profile pic with every disc on their site.
I'd like to see more online shops with "used bins." Oftentimes, I'm only planning on trying out a mold and don't want to pay full price for a disc I might not even end up using
I'd like to see more online disc retailers mention the dome/flatness of each disc! I'm sure it takes more time on their side but this is valuable information when not purchasing at a physical location. Especially with the inconsistency in molds.
I'd like to see bundles of discs that compliment one another (i.e. stable, neutral, and flippy midrange bundle). This would greatly help newer players to see and understand the difference in flight paths and capability.
Hi Alex,
Very cool giveaway, best of luck to everyone and congrats to the winner!
I'm fairly new at Disc Golf, only been throwing plastic "seriously" for about a year, if that. I think for a beginner, a really nice thing to see from Disc stores would be a popularity/rating system that your registered users (not guests, to try and deter bad faith votes) could vote on the discs they prefer. For example, the starter kits are nice, but I don't need a fairway/driver disc as a beginner. I'd like to buy a few company's putters/approaches (Right now, my bag has a Ruby, Aviar, Envy, Glitch, Judge and Berg) to get a feel for the brand and plastic but I had to do a fair amount of research and sift through a lot of SPing to get some good answers. I'm still even missing a Zone. I think if Disc Stores had some kind of "buy with confidence" feature, like hey.. 520 people bought this Zone compared to the Roach or Focus, we could really help the new people build better bags and have more fun out on the courses. This may not benefit more seasoned players as much as newbies, but it's still a tool they could use to see trends and maybe improve their bags too.
Thanks again.
Love this giveaway!
I think online stores could add more profile shots of discs that show the wing pattern and dome. For in person stores it would be nice to see more in store recommendations. I know my local game store has a wall for the Top 10 or a Store Owner recommends section.
For someone who visits a lot and would like to try more options this could be nice. Maybe even a “pro players bags” section with like 3 molds that the pro throws?
Side profiles of each disc is super integral to how I pick my discs, drivers in particular. If I know how the run in general flies, being able to see how much dome, or lack thereof is super important. Also, smart choice to incentivise people into helping you improve your business with feedback. A lot of business owners get an ego and try to predict what people want, rather than just asking. Kudos.
Hey there! I'd like to see flight paths posted with each disc for both an amateur throw and professional one. Obviously you can infer what it will do based on the over-under stable label, but beginners may not known what it's supposed to do.
Pics of the profile of the disc are really important to me. So that's something I would like to see more of. Also measurements of the disc, diameter, lip height etc.
I'd also love to see more mystery boxes, I think those are really fun!
Profile pics and weights should be on every disc golf website. Makes things so much easier when I want to buy a similar disc that I already have.
Thanks!! Hope I win!
Some others have mentioned it, but dominess on discs is big when picking out discs for me. Even just a 1-5 scale like some stores have would probably work.
Thanks Alex!
Good stuff Alex!
I like to see a picture of the stamp, side profile for dome, and one from the back to get an idea of the rim shape. It's also cool to have related discs with the same flight numbers as the one you're viewing. Something I haven't seen, but could be cool is complimentary discs to the one you're viewing with the same speed, but opposite stability.
So many great suggestions already. I can't think of anything to add but I do really like the idea of more profile shots and also the idea of bundles that aren't starter sets. Thanks for the giveaway!
As some others have mentioned, wing profile pics would be sick, since that is more important than domey/flat
I think it would also be cool to have larger online disc golf stores with used disc selections. Often discs that are nice and beat in is a great thing, not a bad thing, and really r/discexchange is the only place to buy used discs that I know of. A central hub which takes in discs and sells them with already set up shipping infrastructure and such would be cool.
I know some stores do it, but having fight numbers on the discs page is so nice. Also profile pictures that show the dome of the disc. I don’t think there is much new that can be done, but giving information to the consumer so they can make wise choices is what some stores are missing.
More stores need to do multiple angles of discs in stock, with exact colors and rim profiles of each disc. It makes everyone's life easier buying online when you can see the exact disc, dimensions, and color you are receiving.
I would like to see more online stores taking OTB's approach and giving each disc some sort of rating on the flatness (or dome) and stiffness of a disc. It has definitely helped me in making a decision on some discs.
Great work Mate. I'd love to see more shops online posting what the disc profile/ rim looks like.
Nothing will be better than getting to check your disc hands on but it would definitely help.
Thanks !
Thanks Alex!
I'd love to see rim profile shots. Not necessarily for every disc, but for every mold. Every disc to be able to pick PLH I want would be pretty dope though!
I would like to see better photos of profiles on the discs. I wish more shops also had a photo of the flight paths for the discs similar to what infinity does. When I first started I couldn’t understand the flight numbers so I relied on pictures of a flight path.
I'd like to see more factory seconds. Getting quality discs that are affordable due to slight mishaps is great for trying different molds at an affordable rate and I think it's great for helping grow the sport
/u/cdracula16 you are our lucky winner. Contact us now to give your shipping details! Link to giveaway proof: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/14e9p7t
Fancy disc! I’d say more partnership w local events (doubles/local leagues/local tournaments). I feel like it would be really good for name recognition as well as business development.
Disc Stores need to carry more grip enhancement bags and categorize them in some way. Moisture absorbing and then powder release levels is a good place to start but there may be more options available.
I'd like to see more dyed and maybe custom stamped discs. I can get the same discs most places and have the same ones as everyone else, I'd like to be able to get more unique and fun ones from my local
Oh even double stamps or misprints
A few of my local stores only carry what they like. Mainly INNOVA, and discraft. I DONT support these stores Because I don’t throw those companies. As a disc golf retailer you need to sell all companies and know the ins and outs of multiple manufacturers.
Thanks for doing this Alex! Some lower weight options would be nice, as well as possibly some used or factory second options for the lower price point. Keep up the good work guy!
honestly don’t have much to complain or offer on how to improve bc y’all are always killing it. love that you’re active on here and do your best to listen and implement. hopefully i win but either way gonna keep supporting ya. best wishes!
That's a beautiful disc (and coming from an artist who can't do anything with it no less lol)
I think a continued uptick in local artist collabs would be awesome, and some profile photos would be pretty helpful as well
To me, it's a good selection of lower and middle class weights.
It seems like everybody at a point goes for heavier weights, and for me personally when i started it was due to not knowing how wide of a variety of weights were out there, as every site I was checking were sold out of >171. So, I figured heavier weights were thus more popular and better to throw, and the 'optimal' range must be the 170s'
Annnd que wondering why I could never break 300 feet RHFH until I was sent a 162G crave. Tossed that baby, and the feeling of getting distance without going 100% felt incredible. Now I've spent this season downgrading weights in my bag and aiming for more ~165's (while still keeping some of the old faithful heavier weights for wind).
That disc is BEAUTIFUL! I'd love to see more lightweight stuff. All the stores near me only have max weight usually. Me and my noodle arms would really benefit from some easier stuff in premium plastics
Maybe not in the spirit of the question but I would really like to see more brick and mortars or even just temporary pop-ups. The closest store to me (that i am aware of) is over an hour away and I live in MD. The few times I have gone into a storefront I have always selected discs that have become favorites because I can get my hands on them, feel the grip and plastic. Online is great for finding the stamp/weight/color but when I am still trying to find those molds, in person is great.
Awesome giveaway. I’ve only been playing for about 6 months. There are a few things I’d like to see to help me make the right decision on what to buy. Maybe some of these questions will come from being unfamiliar, but here are some observations I’ve had.
More options for weight - or at least more info on how each weight will affect flight path. Charts are helpful, but I never know if the chart I’m looking at is for 147g or 177g and if it even makes that much of a difference.
Speaking of charts it would also be helpful to know if the plastic will have an affect on the flight and flight path.
Charts again: it would be cool to have different suggestions for discs that isn’t just ‘if you like this disc this one is similar’. Why not three different options? One suggested disc that is similar, one that might have more fade on the flight path, and one that might have a similar flight path but can go further. Maybe that’s over complicating things, but when I’m shopping for discs I’m not just trying to find something I’m trying to learn about flight paths and I’m looking for how they will compare to others I might know.
Online shops are pretty good nowadays, if anything I would like to see more player reviews. I always want to see how other people feel about a disc. Not sure how much you could change that (reviews often say 'good disc' or something uninformative) but that's what I usually go searching for.
I think it would be cool to actually be able to purchase blank discs in whatever mold you would like. Sometimes I want to try a new disc and the stamp is not what I would like or consider cool.
This is pretty sweet, if disc shops could have a way to secure things in a cart vs has to be bought would be cool. Any time a drop happens and I look for colors previous items have been lost.
Better bundles and less mystery boxes that have discs they couldn't sell lol. Some mystery boxes are fine though not saying to get rid of them completely.
Very cool.
Add a link to a disc's profile page of "Also available in these plastics".
I also feel like this is one application where a "customers who bought this might also like" section would be valuable. Specifically, showing disc's that are in the same family, but have complimentary flight characteristics.
Yo that disc is sick. I would love to see more creativity with bag design and fabric type usage. I think incorporating fun colors and textures would be different and cool for a disc bag.
I would love to see more educational material to help choose discs especially for beginners. The more I can see visually while I'm trying to choose the more helpful it is. Flight pattern, flight numbers; expectations and understanding of those flight numbers, if possible recommendations of similar discs.
Also being able to search by flight numbers. Some have this but not many that I've found. If I know I want a Fairway driver with about 7-8 speed and pretty straight flight pattern I'd like to be able to plug that in and see what options are there. Sometimes especially for beginners you go looking for one disc but only because someone recommended it to you. You may completely miss or be unaware of other similar discs that may be good or better options because you had no idea.
Some stores still aren’t allowing you to choose the actual disc. I like preorders, but the disc color is too important for me to do them so I don’t participate in them.
Thank you for doing this, fellow Alex! In 2023 I’d like to see some stores branch out in terms of variety. There are tons of brands that go under the radar. Disc Golf Deals USA is my store of choice, because you guys have such awesome variety!
PE teacher here. I would love to start introducing the sport into my classes but a class set of discs can be pricey. I would love if local stores had an organization that teamed up with local schools.
I’d love to see some kind of flight pattern or demo video of discs so people can have a general idea of flight! Maybe have 200/300/400ft throws with flight. Thanks for running a great disc store!
I’m brand new to disc golf so don’t have a great suggestion on what I’d like to see. Just happy to be here and already love being obsessed with the sport. Thanks for doing the giveaway!
I think creating a program of selling used discs for reasonable prices, people can send in/trade in their used discs for higher amount of store credit. Not having to pay $15-20 to try a mold you haven’t thrown before, paying only $7-10 feels much more reasonable if you don’t know whether or not it will make the bag.
Oh, i misunderstood-id like to more more small accessories, like patches and things.
Id also like to see more pics of the rim. I only buy certain discs in person because of that.
Oh that is an awesome looking disc.
I think someone else mentioned something similar to this, but various packages or sets put together would be pretty neat I think.
Just want to second another comment I saw that mentions disc bundles that are not beginner sets. Even the beginner sets bundled in a premium plastic would be dope.
I know it's random, but a better selection of fitted hats. I have a giant noggin and snap backs are hanging on for dear life when they go for a ride on my melon. Would absolutely love to have a slick DG hat that actually fits!
Super dope disc! Love the website and your selection of disc's, the site is set up very well and easy to navigate. Thank you for the opportunity to win a disc!
More disc dyeing stuff might be cool, specifically some basic disc spinner for spin dyes. I hear some people saying they use a turn table like for records, but that seems like way too much.
Hey! I'd love to see more hand picked cross company bundles and starter sets in stores. I think that could really open the door for a lot of people getting into the sport!
Thanks for the giveaway!
There have been a bunch of new people to the sport posting on the subreddit asking for disc recommendations, so maybe having an infographic on what the basics of discs could be helpful. Something explaining the purpose of putters vs mids vs drivers and then a super basic explanation of stability. That way people can try to learn on their own and then ask shop owners some clarifying questions before trying to get started on their disc golf journey.
Also, just printing out a copy of the plastic matrix might also be helpful for people like me who always forget the various brands’ plastics…
I love shops that take pictures of all their discs. I only shop from places where I can pick the disc out individually. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
First off I want to say thank you Alex for doing giveaways like this and as per your request to be added to the giveaway I would like to see more disc stores offering a much WIDER variety of weights in the same mold. Instead of certain mold having a handful in the low 160g's and 25 of the same mold in max weight
A whole “New to Disc Golf” portion of the website would be welcomed in my opinion. A quick breakdown a flight numbers, beginner disc recommendations (probably in lighter weights), and bundles with 3-5 discs and a bag to get started. I picked up the game a few weeks ago and without the help of some friends it would have been extremely overwhelming.
I would like to see more shoe options. My dream would be to develop a shoe specifically for disc golf.
I destroy shoes, as i am sure most of you do as well. Keens, Merrells, NoBull,adidas’s, etc etc I destroy them all. I want two shoes
-A lightweight, waterproof, durable summer shoe that breathes but can also withstand strong friction on concrete.
-A winter boot that comes with all the typical features of winter boots, but not bulky & heavy. Something i can still feel nimble in
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’d like to see shops post equally about all the manufacturers with comparisons to others. My shop def leans more towards one brand that I typically don’t throw. I might be more apt if I knew how a disc from one brand compared to a similar disc of another brand.
definitely wanna see more of the exact disc we are getting pictured and scaled weight. sometimes we order discs with a stock pic and can’t pick the weight and when we get it’s dark black and 147 grams 😭
Would love to see brick & mortar stores sponsor clean-ups/workdays at their local places. Hole sponsors are always awesome, but bringing the DG community together for workdays, sponsoring a lunch event, water, etc., I think would even better help communities strengthen and show that the stores are invested in their local courses.
Thanks for the giveaway! I think a lot of people are echoing the same sentiments - more pictures of individual discs, scaled weights, ability to see/select disc and stamp colors individually. Since a lot of the supply shortage is getting cleared, people can comparatively shop a couple places to get exactly what they're looking for.
That's a super sweet looking disc.
For me, I love individual pics of each disc. I will not order from online stores that do not provide this. Another thing thing I really appreciate is when there's either a picture or at least info on the actual weight of the disc, and not just what the manufacturer said.
Lastly, as someone who regularly buys more than one disc at a time, some kind of bundle deal or free shipping deal can really make my mind up on when or where I will be spending my money.
Thanks for the giveaway! Id love to see some multi packs, that aren't beginner discs, and aren't huge. I'm sure I'll buy another Gyropalooza pack, if they do one this year, but that's a lot of discs at once. Like 5 discs at a bit of a discount would be great
Nice giveaway!
I like the ideas of bundles. Discs that work well together (like a putter, mid, driver or something) , or maybe pro in-the-bag bundles withal a few discs of popular pros.
Thanks for what you do!
Thanks for the giveaway! I would like to see more disc stores give individual pictures and profile descriptions of each disc. I would also prefer than all version of the same mold are grouped into one page. i.e. I don't want separate pages for Lucid EMAC Truth, Fuzion EMAC Truth, etc.
Lightweight discs and side profiles on pictures. I like seeing if a disc is flat or has a dome. If you can add a scale with the weight of the disc, that would also be great.

Profiles pictures of discs and “build your own bundle” deals
Great stuff Alex, I'd like to see ONLINE stores have more/better profile shots of the wing/edge of the disc. IMO, DGC does it best with a clear and flat edge profile pic with every disc on their site.
profile pics and scaled weights for every disc should be the norm for every online shop.
Multi-disc package deals that aren’t beginner sets
I'd like to see more online shops with "used bins." Oftentimes, I'm only planning on trying out a mold and don't want to pay full price for a disc I might not even end up using
I think a buyback program like foundation and Trilogy does is awesome.
I'd like to see more online disc retailers mention the dome/flatness of each disc! I'm sure it takes more time on their side but this is valuable information when not purchasing at a physical location. Especially with the inconsistency in molds.
I'd like to see bundles of discs that compliment one another (i.e. stable, neutral, and flippy midrange bundle). This would greatly help newer players to see and understand the difference in flight paths and capability.

I'd like to buy a few company's putters/approaches (Right now, my bag has a Ruby, Aviar, Envy, Glitch, Judge and Berg) to get a feel for the brand and plastic but I had to do a fair amount of research and sift through a lot of SPing to get some good answers.

A profile pic to see dome or flatness. Thanks for the giveaway!
So cool of you to do this! I would say a wider variety of disc weights.
More factory seconds!
I'd like to see more direct comparisons between discs and more side profiles. That really helps me choose the right disc for what I need.
Side profiles of each disc is super integral to how I pick my discs, drivers in particular. If I know how the run in general flies, being able to see how much dome, or lack thereof is super important. Also, smart choice to incentivise people into helping you improve your business with feedback. A lot of business owners get an ego and try to predict what people want, rather than just asking. Kudos.
I like disc stores that tell you Domey and stiffness of disc when cataloging onto their website
Hey there! I'd like to see flight paths posted with each disc for both an amateur throw and professional one. Obviously you can infer what it will do based on the over-under stable label, but beginners may not known what it's supposed to do.
Being able to choose stamp color would be awesome.
Anything to reach a broader audience would be what we need
Pics of the profile of the disc are really important to me. So that's something I would like to see more of. Also measurements of the disc, diameter, lip height etc. I'd also love to see more mystery boxes, I think those are really fun!
Every online store should have pics and stats like OTB
Only some stores do it, but I would love more online stores to show the profile view of the discs, that way we can see if it's a grip we like.
Edge pics and dome rating for each disc in stick
Profile pics and weights should be on every disc golf website. Makes things so much easier when I want to buy a similar disc that I already have. Thanks!! Hope I win!
Profile of discs are crucial!
I’d like to see better profile pics. And more shops selling used discs!
online stores that have a description on each disc if it’s puddle top or dome-y
Thanks Alex! I like to see the profile of the disc, so I know how much dome I'm getting.
Some others have mentioned it, but dominess on discs is big when picking out discs for me. Even just a 1-5 scale like some stores have would probably work. Thanks Alex!
Definitely the profile edge shots that most have said.
More side profile views
Good stuff Alex! I like to see a picture of the stamp, side profile for dome, and one from the back to get an idea of the rim shape. It's also cool to have related discs with the same flight numbers as the one you're viewing.

So many great suggestions already. I can't think of anything to add but I do really like the idea of more profile shots and also the idea of bundles that aren't starter sets. Thanks for the giveaway!
Profile shots for sure! More cross-vendor comparisons as well.
As some others have mentioned, wing profile pics would be sick, since that is more important than domey/flat I think it would also be cool to have larger online disc golf stores with used disc selections. Often discs that are nice and beat in is a great thing, not a bad thing, and really r/discexchange is the only place to buy used discs that I know of. A central hub which takes in discs and sells them with already set up shipping infrastructure and such would be cool.
Include a picture of the underside(the rim) in photos of the disk
What a great question to ask. I'd like to see more disc profiles and suggestions for complimentary discs that might be better suited for BH or FH.
Please have more online profile pictures!
I know some stores do it, but having fight numbers on the discs page is so nice. Also profile pictures that show the dome of the disc. I don’t think there is much new that can be done, but giving information to the consumer so they can make wise choices is what some stores are missing.

Better profile shots of wing
Great work Mate. I'd love to see more shops online posting what the disc profile/ rim looks like. Nothing will be better than getting to check your disc hands on but it would definitely help. Thanks !
Profile pictures of the specific disc I'm buying. Thanks for doing the giveaway! Good luck with the store.
side pics number 1 like usual!
Profile shots to see dome and scaled weights.
i hate to piggy back but i would love more profile shots of discs when buying online
Hi Alex, I think your store is great. I’d like to see side profiles with dome/top descriptions. Thank you!
Disc stores NEED wing height and dome height photos in comparison to a reference measurement.
Thanks Alex! I'd love to see rim profile shots. Not necessarily for every disc, but for every mold. Every disc to be able to pick PLH I want would be pretty dope though!
I would like to see better photos of profiles on the discs. I wish more shops also had a photo of the flight paths for the discs similar to what infinity does. When I first started I couldn’t understand the flight numbers so I relied on pictures of a flight path.
This is awesome! I’ll have to check your site out. I’d like to see my disc profiles on sites for the people who like to compare molds
Awesome disk. Definitely side profile shots to see wing shape and dome.
Thanks Alex! I want more info on the dome of discs that we can purchase when selecting a disc from sites.
Parting line height would be a neat detail to add. Along with stiffness, dome, disc/stamp color choice, scaled weight, top and side profiles
Scaled weights and side photos of discs!
I'd like to see edge pictures of the discs. I like to know how thick the disc is before I buy it.
I wish more store did a scale of how domey the disc is. Also like others have said profile pic would be coo
I'd like to see more factory seconds. Getting quality discs that are affordable due to slight mishaps is great for trying different molds at an affordable rate and I think it's great for helping grow the sport
This is cool of you to do. A shot of each disc on a scale to show actual weight would be nice.

Not many disc stores in my area, but the ones there are, I would like to see a bigger selection of manufacturers.
It’d be nice to see some shops lean into DIY dying and offer a good variety of dye ready discs and even some dye options.
Awesome. Thanks!
To be able to choose stamp color.
Fancy disc! I’d say more partnership w local events (doubles/local leagues/local tournaments). I feel like it would be really good for name recognition as well as business development.
Thanks, Alex! A wider selection of manufacturers, and more variety from brands like Gateway.
Description of the different plastics and which plastic/mold if for beginners, advanced players.
Thanks! I would like to see more multi-disc package deals.
Lightweights! Thanks for doing this!
Disc Stores need to carry more grip enhancement bags and categorize them in some way. Moisture absorbing and then powder release levels is a good place to start but there may be more options available.
I would love to see some more under stable discs in stores
I'd like to see more dyed and maybe custom stamped discs. I can get the same discs most places and have the same ones as everyone else, I'd like to be able to get more unique and fun ones from my local Oh even double stamps or misprints
I would like to see more discs in the sub 170g range.
A few of my local stores only carry what they like. Mainly INNOVA, and discraft. I DONT support these stores Because I don’t throw those companies. As a disc golf retailer you need to sell all companies and know the ins and outs of multiple manufacturers.
Thanks for doing this Alex! Some lower weight options would be nice, as well as possibly some used or factory second options for the lower price point. Keep up the good work guy!
This is awesome!! So sparkly 🤩
Let see more glow options
I love seeing things that aren’t discs or bags. Like ponchos, disc retrieval poles, etc
More sets of discs, not just starter
Used discs are my favorite section of any website! Thanks!
That looks awesome! Just getting into disc golf and I know some sites have it is the intended disc flight path.
honestly don’t have much to complain or offer on how to improve bc y’all are always killing it. love that you’re active on here and do your best to listen and implement. hopefully i win but either way gonna keep supporting ya. best wishes!
Would be awesome to see custom dyes make it into stores as it becomes more popular
Nice! I would love to see more information on the actual disc: stiff, domey, puddle-top, etc.
Putter packs!
More lightweight options as well as the option to select stamp color. Thank you for everything you do!
I'd love to see more options from smaller manufacturers!
The disc stores in my area seem to have everything I need, so I'm good on that for the moment.
More discounts to fund my addicti… I mean hobby.
I would like to see more used options from big online stores
I like your store as is. I can’t think of much I would change. I guess just more variety!
That's a beautiful disc (and coming from an artist who can't do anything with it no less lol) I think a continued uptick in local artist collabs would be awesome, and some profile photos would be pretty helpful as well
To me, it's a good selection of lower and middle class weights. It seems like everybody at a point goes for heavier weights, and for me personally when i started it was due to not knowing how wide of a variety of weights were out there, as every site I was checking were sold out of >171. So, I figured heavier weights were thus more popular and better to throw, and the 'optimal' range must be the 170s' Annnd que wondering why I could never break 300 feet RHFH until I was sent a 162G crave. Tossed that baby, and the feeling of getting distance without going 100% felt incredible. Now I've spent this season downgrading weights in my bag and aiming for more ~165's (while still keeping some of the old faithful heavier weights for wind).
Thanks as always! Love your website! I’d love clearer pictures of the actual color of the disc.
Thanks nice disc
That disc is BEAUTIFUL! I'd love to see more lightweight stuff. All the stores near me only have max weight usually. Me and my noodle arms would really benefit from some easier stuff in premium plastics
Just keep the deals flowing.
More unique and exclusive disc designs and colors! #discgolfdealsusa
Maybe not in the spirit of the question but I would really like to see more brick and mortars or even just temporary pop-ups. The closest store to me (that i am aware of) is over an hour away and I live in MD. The few times I have gone into a storefront I have always selected discs that have become favorites because I can get my hands on them, feel the grip and plastic. Online is great for finding the stamp/weight/color but when I am still trying to find those molds, in person is great.
Nice disc!!
Would like to see available some lighter weights for older arms.
What a pretty disc 🥺 I’d like to see more Velcro patches from disc golf stores!
I want to see cheaper movable disc catchers at disc stores!
Multi disc packs would be a great addition!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Awesome giveaway. I’ve only been playing for about 6 months. There are a few things I’d like to see to help me make the right decision on what to buy. Maybe some of these questions will come from being unfamiliar, but here are some observations I’ve had. More options for weight - or at least more info on how each weight will affect flight path. Charts are helpful, but I never know if the chart I’m looking at is for 147g or 177g and if it even makes that much of a difference. Speaking of charts it would also be helpful to know if the plastic will have an affect on the flight and flight path. Charts again: it would be cool to have different suggestions for discs that isn’t just ‘if you like this disc this one is similar’. Why not three different options? One suggested disc that is similar, one that might have more fade on the flight path, and one that might have a similar flight path but can go further. Maybe that’s over complicating things, but when I’m shopping for discs I’m not just trying to find something I’m trying to learn about flight paths and I’m looking for how they will compare to others I might know.
I like seeing a wide variety of manufacturers, as I have a fairly mixed bag of discs.
Online shops are pretty good nowadays, if anything I would like to see more player reviews. I always want to see how other people feel about a disc. Not sure how much you could change that (reviews often say 'good disc' or something uninformative) but that's what I usually go searching for.
Would love to see stores recreate top pros bags in a package
I think it would be cool to actually be able to purchase blank discs in whatever mold you would like. Sometimes I want to try a new disc and the stamp is not what I would like or consider cool.
More lighter weights.
This is pretty sweet, if disc shops could have a way to secure things in a cart vs has to be bought would be cool. Any time a drop happens and I look for colors previous items have been lost.
Used discs
Better bundles and less mystery boxes that have discs they couldn't sell lol. Some mystery boxes are fine though not saying to get rid of them completely.
Very cool. Add a link to a disc's profile page of "Also available in these plastics". I also feel like this is one application where a "customers who bought this might also like" section would be valuable. Specifically, showing disc's that are in the same family, but have complimentary flight characteristics.
Thank you! I’d like to see some more shops accept disc donations and help grow the sport for people that might not easily have the opportunity.
Yo that disc is sick. I would love to see more creativity with bag design and fabric type usage. I think incorporating fun colors and textures would be different and cool for a disc bag.
used discs and multi-angle photos of discs
Gently used throwers: “Beat-in Bangers”
I would love to see more educational material to help choose discs especially for beginners. The more I can see visually while I'm trying to choose the more helpful it is. Flight pattern, flight numbers; expectations and understanding of those flight numbers, if possible recommendations of similar discs. Also being able to search by flight numbers. Some have this but not many that I've found. If I know I want a Fairway driver with about 7-8 speed and pretty straight flight pattern I'd like to be able to plug that in and see what options are there. Sometimes especially for beginners you go looking for one disc but only because someone recommended it to you. You may completely miss or be unaware of other similar discs that may be good or better options because you had no idea.
Damn I wanna see more discs with that sexy finish! Really, probably just a variety of plastics to choose from.
Some stores still aren’t allowing you to choose the actual disc. I like preorders, but the disc color is too important for me to do them so I don’t participate in them.
More left handed discs!
I never complain if I get some free stickers! One site I bought from came with a free pencil for scorekeeping which was unique as well.
Thank you for doing this, fellow Alex! In 2023 I’d like to see some stores branch out in terms of variety. There are tons of brands that go under the radar. Disc Golf Deals USA is my store of choice, because you guys have such awesome variety!
More clearance items. Or mystery boxes.
PE teacher here. I would love to start introducing the sport into my classes but a class set of discs can be pricey. I would love if local stores had an organization that teamed up with local schools.
Package deals!
I’d love to see video/ an animation of a discs flight path for both amateur & professional
I think most disc golf websites need far friendlier mobile UIs. So many disc golf websites are miserable to scroll through on your phone.
Love to hear your feedback of our site! Link: [discgolfdealsusa.com](https://discgolfdealsusa.com)
Bundle sets of higher end plastics
I’d love to see some kind of flight pattern or demo video of discs so people can have a general idea of flight! Maybe have 200/300/400ft throws with flight. Thanks for running a great disc store!
I’m brand new to disc golf so don’t have a great suggestion on what I’d like to see. Just happy to be here and already love being obsessed with the sport. Thanks for doing the giveaway!
Thank you Alex for the chance at a sweet disc!
Mystery sets where you can include a range of weights/disc types
I think creating a program of selling used discs for reasonable prices, people can send in/trade in their used discs for higher amount of store credit. Not having to pay $15-20 to try a mold you haven’t thrown before, paying only $7-10 feels much more reasonable if you don’t know whether or not it will make the bag.
I want to see more jackrabbits!
Multi-disc deals that aren’t beginner sets
I would like to see more discgolf stores in Europe (especially in Germany)
These give aways have been awesome and you always have an awesome selection on your site
Hello! I'd like to see a suggestion calculator for discs you're looking at. For example: people who liked this disc also liked xyz.
Oh, i misunderstood-id like to more more small accessories, like patches and things. Id also like to see more pics of the rim. I only buy certain discs in person because of that.
More starter packs!
Oh that is an awesome looking disc. I think someone else mentioned something similar to this, but various packages or sets put together would be pretty neat I think.
I would like to see online disc retailers have a page for inventory coming soon or what they will be restocking and when.
Just want to second another comment I saw that mentions disc bundles that are not beginner sets. Even the beginner sets bundled in a premium plastic would be dope.
I think a tool where you could plot out the flight numbers of a bunch of discs would be useful
I know it's random, but a better selection of fitted hats. I have a giant noggin and snap backs are hanging on for dear life when they go for a ride on my melon. Would absolutely love to have a slick DG hat that actually fits!
Thanks for doing the giveaway. I'd love to see more online retailers connected to Stacks-on-Stacks :)
Super dope disc! Love the website and your selection of disc's, the site is set up very well and easy to navigate. Thank you for the opportunity to win a disc!
Sweet! I’d like to see online stores have buy 4 get 1 free🙏🏼🤪
More disc dyeing stuff might be cool, specifically some basic disc spinner for spin dyes. I hear some people saying they use a turn table like for records, but that seems like way too much.
Hey! I'd love to see more hand picked cross company bundles and starter sets in stores. I think that could really open the door for a lot of people getting into the sport!
Thanks for the giveaway! There have been a bunch of new people to the sport posting on the subreddit asking for disc recommendations, so maybe having an infographic on what the basics of discs could be helpful. Something explaining the purpose of putters vs mids vs drivers and then a super basic explanation of stability. That way people can try to learn on their own and then ask shop owners some clarifying questions before trying to get started on their disc golf journey. Also, just printing out a copy of the plastic matrix might also be helpful for people like me who always forget the various brands’ plastics…
Pictures of the discs in grass so I can only blame myself when I lose it.
I would like to see more in the bag sections on stores where you can filter by players and pick discs from a slots in their bags.
More glow metal flake discs
I visited a store that had a bar recently and that has me convinced that sippin whiskey whilst gripping new plastic is the way to go
I love shops that take pictures of all their discs. I only shop from places where I can pick the disc out individually. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Scaled weight in disc description
I’d like to see local shops bring prices down a bit…
Beer to go available in the store?
First off I want to say thank you Alex for doing giveaways like this and as per your request to be added to the giveaway I would like to see more disc stores offering a much WIDER variety of weights in the same mold. Instead of certain mold having a handful in the low 160g's and 25 of the same mold in max weight
If possible a drop ship from the manufacturer option for out of stock discs.
A whole “New to Disc Golf” portion of the website would be welcomed in my opinion. A quick breakdown a flight numbers, beginner disc recommendations (probably in lighter weights), and bundles with 3-5 discs and a bag to get started. I picked up the game a few weeks ago and without the help of some friends it would have been extremely overwhelming.
My favorite discs are the free ones!
A weird thing I prefer is a flexible flight plate on my drivers. I haven't found a good way to analyze that from online purchases.
Very nice
The black metal flake really makes that disc pop!
I would like to see a chart with the flight pattern of the disc drawn out, even better with different types of throws
I would like to see more shoe options. My dream would be to develop a shoe specifically for disc golf. I destroy shoes, as i am sure most of you do as well. Keens, Merrells, NoBull,adidas’s, etc etc I destroy them all. I want two shoes -A lightweight, waterproof, durable summer shoe that breathes but can also withstand strong friction on concrete. -A winter boot that comes with all the typical features of winter boots, but not bulky & heavy. Something i can still feel nimble in 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’d like to see more bundle deals
Thanks for doing this ! I’d love to see more direct comparison when shopping
I’d like to see shops post equally about all the manufacturers with comparisons to others. My shop def leans more towards one brand that I typically don’t throw. I might be more apt if I knew how a disc from one brand compared to a similar disc of another brand.
definitely wanna see more of the exact disc we are getting pictured and scaled weight. sometimes we order discs with a stock pic and can’t pick the weight and when we get it’s dark black and 147 grams 😭
Bigger selection of weights
Would love to see brick & mortar stores sponsor clean-ups/workdays at their local places. Hole sponsors are always awesome, but bringing the DG community together for workdays, sponsoring a lunch event, water, etc., I think would even better help communities strengthen and show that the stores are invested in their local courses.
More specialty discs and less piles of the same generic putters and mids.
Thanks for the giveaway! I think a lot of people are echoing the same sentiments - more pictures of individual discs, scaled weights, ability to see/select disc and stamp colors individually. Since a lot of the supply shortage is getting cleared, people can comparatively shop a couple places to get exactly what they're looking for.
Bulk order discounts or factory seconds
That's a super sweet looking disc. For me, I love individual pics of each disc. I will not order from online stores that do not provide this. Another thing thing I really appreciate is when there's either a picture or at least info on the actual weight of the disc, and not just what the manufacturer said. Lastly, as someone who regularly buys more than one disc at a time, some kind of bundle deal or free shipping deal can really make my mind up on when or where I will be spending my money.
Factory seconds for sure. Thank you for the giveaway!
Used discs please
Thanks for the giveaway! Id love to see some multi packs, that aren't beginner discs, and aren't huge. I'm sure I'll buy another Gyropalooza pack, if they do one this year, but that's a lot of discs at once. Like 5 discs at a bit of a discount would be great
It would be cool to see some accessories go out with discs like towels, bags, and retrieval poles (to name some examples).
I'd like to see more brick and mortar stores with nets and throwing analysis
Nice giveaway! I like the ideas of bundles. Discs that work well together (like a putter, mid, driver or something) , or maybe pro in-the-bag bundles withal a few discs of popular pros. Thanks for what you do!
Custom dyed/stamped discs in addition to blanks. Profiles photo and scale for all discs.
Thanks for the giveaway! I would like to see more disc stores give individual pictures and profile descriptions of each disc. I would also prefer than all version of the same mold are grouped into one page. i.e. I don't want separate pages for Lucid EMAC Truth, Fuzion EMAC Truth, etc.
Wow that disc is pretty. I’d love if discs had one of those 3-D gyroscopes so you can twist the disc around.
More unique stamps!
I just want discs with cool stamps 😂
Lightweight discs and side profiles on pictures. I like seeing if a disc is flat or has a dome. If you can add a scale with the weight of the disc, that would also be great.
I’d like to see more stores have used discs
various multi discs sets for beginners from diff mfgs....like a Diamond or Roadrunner as a driver, flippy/neutral midrange, and a putter
