12 NEW PDGA APPROVED DISCS!
Updated: Aug 13
Hello friends,
As you could probably assume, due to my Throwing EVERY Disc Possible Series, I follow the PDGA's list of "PDGA Approved Disc Golf Discs" pretty closely. Checking in on it every few days, I am always surprised by the vast selection of new discs that are approved for tournament use every month. This month alone, August 2026, there have been 12 different molds approved and we are only 11 days into the month. I'm no genius, but I am pretty sure that is more that one per day. haha! To further extend my point about how often new discs are hitting the market, the most recent disc approved by the Professional Disc Golf Association holds the certification number of 26-114, meaning it is the 114th disc to be PDGA approved in 2026. Tell me that isn't insane! Most casual disc golfers have no idea this many molds are hitting the market regularly. Below, I will offer a list of all of the discs that have been approved this month. Below that, I will breakdown any and all info I know about these molds, which will not be much to be honest.

First Up, let's talk about the molds from what is arguably the most popular brand in this list, Prodigy Disc. With the recent NERF collaboration creating the Soft Flight Foam disc golf discs, and 4 more discs approved by them this month alone, Prodigy seems to be making a huge push this year, and I am here for it! The NERF collaboration is and will go down in history as one of the most important disc golf collaborations of all time. The eyes that these NERF / Prodigy collaboration discs will see will in time, be immeasurable. That is massive for the sport. Hats off to Prodigy Disc for this one!
Now, on to the new molds. First off, the X1 (New) from Prodigy Disc. Some of you who have been playing 5 or more years may remember all of the hype behind the original Prodigy Disc X1. This was likely the most overstable disc on the market at the time of it's released and while I alone have heard multiple stories about why it was taken out of production years ago, I know that this disc became an extremely sought after mold after so. Is this the same mold that has been revived, or is it a new mold for the X1 designed to be similar to the original X1? That, I do not have an answer for and only time will tell. Maybe. With the marketing tagline of "A Legend Revived", Prodigy knows this one should be a big hit! Until these are available, you can watch me throw the original X1 below. P.S. Sorry my hat is indeed on in the video.
Next, let's talk about the new F Series discs recently approved. The F Series, if you don't already know, is the Fairway Driver line from Prodigy Disc. The line, already consisting of the F1, F2, F3, F5, F7, F9, FX-2, FX-3, and FX-4, has the new additions of the F4, F6, and (New) F3. While pictures of these 3 new molds on the PDGA website boast the tooling "Designed in the U.S.A." it appears that these molds have been manufactured in the 400 plastic that is produced overseas, in China. I could be wrong in this assessment, but from my many years working in disc golf, I have noticed a few ways that help me determine which Prodigy Discs are manufactured in Georgia, and which ones are produced overseas. The F4 and F6 are brand new molds in the Prodigy Disc F Series, but the F3 has already held a spot in the lineup since 2013. At this time, I am not sure if this new F3 will replace the original F3 in its longstanding spot in the F Series lineup or if it will simply be another addition to the line. Also worth mentioning, none of these three F Series molds have flight numbers assigned to them yet according to the PDGA. If you want to see me throw the original Prodigy Disc F3, check out the video below:
Next up, lets talk about the new Butterfly and Hot Wing from Mint Discs. You may be wondering why I moved straight to Mint Discs after discussing the newest Prodigy Disc molds, but trust me, there is a method to my madness. See, Mint Discs originally exploded onto the disc golf scene due to the rising popularity of MVP Disc Sports at the time. Most players who had thrown any MVP discs at that time could quickly tell that the Mint Discs plastics felt very similar to the MVP plastics which are also known as, Maple Valley Plastics. I bet very few of you reading this knew that is what MVP stood for. I digress. The reason these plastics felt similar, is because they were actually the same plastics. Disc golfers quickly discovered that MVP was molding discs for Mint Discs as well as Thought Space Athletics, but that is a different conversation for another time. In 2025 however, this may or may not have changed. At very minimum, there was a definite shift in production when Prodigy Disc started manufacturing molds for Mint Discs with the release of the Idol and Pickle. Since then, to the best of my knowledge, each of the approved Mint Discs molds have all been manufactured by Prodigy Disc. Some in their Chinese facility and some here in the states. Both of these new Mint Discs molds appear to be distance drivers and have likely been produced in China. No flight numbers have been assigned to the disc images on the PDGA pages for these molds. Watch this video below to see the most recent Mint Disc I have featured in the Throwing EVERY Disc Possible Series, the Mint Discs Salamander. Upcoming episodes featuring Mint Discs molds are the aforementioned Idol and Pickle.
Next up, the Doomsday Discs Decay. Ever since I was sent a box of discs from Doomsday Discs in 2024, I have been a big fan of the brand. Not only because of their willingness to work with smaller content creators like myself, but also the flight and design of many of their molds on the disc golf market. From instant cult classics like the Oxymoron and Cardiac Arrest, to the incredible flyers like the Chemtrail and the Oblivion. Doomsday Discs has the absolute widest range of molds in all of disc golf from some of the best flyers I have ever thrown, to the somewhat gimmicky, but extremely fun, "odd-shaped" discs. Their newest approved disc, the Decay, appears to be among the ilk of the latter. Looking through the images of this mold online, the side profile looks to be a beadless putter similar in design to some of the most popular putters in disc golf in the Aviar and P2. However, the underside of the disc clearly shows that there is an additional rim creating a hollow channel between the two rims, much like the hollow bones of a bird. Will this two-rimmed design help this putter fly through the air like a bird, or will the hollow channel create weight-reduction in the actual rim and defy the odds of gyroscopia. That's definitely not a word, but it sounded good. On thing is for certain, I will be giving this Decay a toss once I get my hands on one. If you want to see more from Doomsday Discs, check out this 9-hole disc golf round I filmed with the box of discs that Doomsday Discs themselves, kindly sent me. This video is where my love for the Doomsday Discs brand began!
From here on out, the shared videos along with the brands will unfortunately cease because I have thrown exactly 0 discs from these brands. I know little to nothing about Nice Discs, Shaman Disc Golf, and Disc Golf Avenue, but I must mention the other 5 molds that were recently approved for tournament use. First up, the Nisu from Nice Discs. The Nisu, which according to their promotional photos means "Nice" in Japanese, joins four other molds in the 3D printed Nice Discs lineup. Following the Mukava, Kena, and Kuhle, which were also all approved in 2026, The Nisu is promoted as a "Stable Fairway Driver" with the flight numbers 7 | 4 | -0.5 | 2. Bearing a much more blunt edge than most 7-speed discs on the market, this is quite an intriguing mold. Unless the PDGA got the side-profile pictures of this one mixed up with another Nice Discs mold, which could be the case, I would say that this mold doesn't resemble the current idea of a 7-speed fairway driver that we are used to. Only time will tell. If you or anyone you know is connected to Nice Discs and would like to see their discs featured on BDGC, please consider sending them my way!
Next up, let's talk about the Viento from Shaman Disc Golf. Joining the Fuego as the second disc in the Shaman Disc Golf lineup, this is another mold that was approved just yesterday. As you could imagine, there's not much info about this mold out there at this time. The Viento, meaning "wind" in Spanish, appears to be a 6 or 7 speed golf disc. If you just air-juggled when you read that, please go to any random video on the channel and comment "6-7" so I know you are here reading. I appreciate you for being here, but also loathe that you fell into the trap of "kids these days" much like I have. I guess that's what being a father does to you. Now that I have completely went off the rails, let's get back to this fire blog. See what I did there? The pictures online of the first approved mold from Shaman Disc Golf, the Fuego, features the tooling "Hecho en Mexico", proudly announcing that this disc was Made in Mexico. This, in my opinion is incredible, because to the best of my knowledge is the first disc golf mold (putter) ever manufactured in Mexico which reflects the rapid growth of the sport in the post-covid era. The new Viento does not feature this tooling, appears to be a different plastic blend, and also seems to have a different style of injection point than their first effort. Does this mean that the Viento is not also manufactured in Mexico? I do not have an answer for that at this time. Stay tuned into the BDGC blog as more information becomes readily available on this brand and molds. Again, I have not thrown any Shaman Disc Golf molds so if you or anyone you know is connected to this brand and would like to see them featured on BDGC, please contact me via the contact form here on the website.
Last, but surely not least as this brand flew into the market with an impressive 3 mold drop, lets talk about the Union, Alley, and Arcade from Disc Golf Avenue. All Approved just yesterday, these discs appear to be a three-disc set similar to those of a disc golf starter set. The Union (Putter), Arcade (Midrange), and Alley (Fairway Driver) all appear to be manufactured in a nice smooth translucent plastic blend reminiscent of Innova Discs Champion plastic, or RPM Discs Cosmic. As the 109th, 110th, and 111th discs to be approved by the PDGA this year, the photos of these discs online show no tooling marks that can give me a confident guess on where they are made, if they are manufactured by an already existing brand in disc golf, or if they are manufactured themselves by Disc Golf Avenue. Much like the release of all newer brands in disc golf, only time will tell.
Previously mentioned above, I have yet to throw any molds from Nice Discs, Shaman Disc Golf or Disc Golf Avenue. These brands have now joined the already existing, and constantly growing, list of at least 120 brands I have yet to throw any discs from. My Throwing EVERY Disc Possible series has already reached a number of episodes that I never thought would be possible, however I have never kept this series going strong like it has without the help of many channel supporters. With your help in the future, this series can continue to thrive so like I have asked multiple times in your post, if you or anyone you know has any connection to these brands, please send them to the contact form here on www.baysingersdiscgolfchannel.com. In closing, I will provide a list of brands that I have never thrown any molds from to help expand my search of discs I need to throw. I would be happy to throw your used discs and ship them back to you if you decided you would like to help me with the series. And of course, I will give you a shout out in each video of your disc(s) and will let you pick the question of the day for the episodes featuring your disc(s). Mainly because I am running out of ideas for questions of the day. Legit. If you read this, thank you. I appreciate you and I hope you come back for more of the BDGC blog in the future!
