5 New Disc Golf Discs Approved!
Updated: Sep 8
Hello my disc golf friends,
It appears they have done it again. The PDGA has approved 5 more molds for tournament use. Earlier last month, I wrote this blog post that mentioned 12 different disc golf molds that were approved by the PDGA in August of 2026 alone. The addition of these 5 discs that I will write about here in this blog makes a total or 17 discs that were approved in August. It still shocks me how often new discs are hitting the market. If you are like me, and like to keep up with all of the new brands and molds hitting the market, you have found the right place! Below is the list of new disc golf discs that were approved on August 31, 2026 and I will break them down a bit more below that.

Now, let's break this down by brand and mold a bit more. First up, let's talk about the MVP Mass. The Mass, already pre-loaded with MVP's Project Lab Coat technology, is listed as being a low-glide and low-profile putt & approach disc. The pictures of this mold on the PDGA approval page show the side profile to be similar to that of the Discraft Zone or Axiom Discs Tempo, but with a slight puddle-topped rim similar to the Kastaplast Berg or MVP Stasis. If I personally had to pick a mold that the Mass resembles the most on the market, I would choose the DGA (Disc Golf Association) Blast. Overall, from posts I have seen online, the gyronauts (MVP fans) seem to be excited about this one. I don't know much more about this disc at this time but if you want to see every MVP disc I have thrown, check out the playlist below.
In keeping with the same family of discs, next up we will talk about the Channel from Streamline Discs. The pictures of the Channel on the approval page show this disc hitting the disc golf market in MVP, Axiom, and Streamline's premium opaque Neutron plastic. With what looks to be a 7 speed rim, this disc is most likely Sreamline Discs version of the ever-popular Discmania FD1. Not surprising considering both Simon Lizotte and Eagle McMahon who were long-time Discmania teammates, are both with MVP and their sister companies. Honestly, I'm not sure if either of these two ever bagged the FD1 but this slot seems to make sense in the Streamline lineup right between the Turbulence and Drift. Also considering the FD1 comparison makes me wonder of the Channel will end up in Eagle McMahon's Archetype Series joining the Boost and Engine. I suppose we will find that out in the future. Until then, if you want to see every Streamline Disc I have thrown in the Throwing EVERY Disc Possible series, check out the playlist below.
Next up are two new molds from Meridian Discs. The Butte (which I have absolutely no idea how to pronounce until Meridian slaps their fancy syllabification stamp on there) looks to be a very similar design to the well-known and widely cherished Kastaplast Berg. So what makes the Butte exciting in comparison to the many Berg-like releases in the past? The Meridian Discs plastic! I have worked in disc golf for the better part of a decade and since the Meridian Discs have hit the market, I have yet to hear a single person say anything negative about Meridian Discs premium plastics. And that is because it is good. Their Clarus and Marbled Claris plastics have an outstanding grip and come on, who doesn't love that marbled look that makes their plastic stand out in a shop full with dozens of plastic blends?! Now mix the idea of the puddle-topped approach style disc with that beautifully marbled plastic and you can sign me right up!
Moving on to the Meridian Discs Oasis. The Oasis is a beaded understable mid-range with the flight numbers 5 | 5 | -3 | 1. You may be wondering how I already know so much about one new mold from Meridian but not the other. That is because of Mr. John Bernard. A kind fellow whom I mentioned in my last blog post because of a sweet ace he got (with a Meridian Discs Mojave) in the last dubs event I ran. He was also featured in this video on BDGC. See, John is actually on Team Meridian Discs and is fortunate enough to get early access to their new molds. John posted a video of him testing out the Oasis from Meridian this week on his instagram and I am just going to say, this is a mold I am eager to toss! It looks to have an absolutely beautiful flight to it reminiscent of the Piwakawaka from RPM Discs. If there's one thing I love in disc golf, it's a good flippy mid. These are definitely two releases to look out for once they hit the disc golf market! As of me writing this, I have thrown 6 of the 9 different PDGA approved molds from Meridian Discs. If you want to see those 6 molds in flight, check out the playlist below.
Last up, lets talk about a brand new brand and mold to hit the disc golf market. The Mesa from Flohtohn. Now if I thought the Meridian Discs Butte was hard to pronounce, Flohtohn has really got me. Flohtohn is a new brand that has hit the disc golf market with their first PDGA approved disc called The Mesa. I would love to break this mold and brand down more for you, but I will be honest, I know little to nothing about this brand. The only sure info I can give you at the moment is that The Mesa looks to be a 3D Printed beadless putter that is made in Colorado. I hate to leave you with very little information on this brand, but there's simply not much out there about Flohtohn Discs at this point.
To make up for the lack of info in the above section, I do want to provide you with an update on a brand mentioned in my last blog post about approved discs. In that blog, I mentioned a new brand called Disc Golf Avenue hitting the disc golf market with three new discs called the Union, Alley, and Arcade. At that time, just like in the above paragraph, I knew little to nothing about Disc Golf Avenue. That has since changed. In that previous blog, I was actually wrong about Disc Golf Avenue being a new brand and later found out that this was more of a rebranding from an already established company. That Company being Sci-Fly Discs whom I have worked with in the past. I wanted to mention this rebrand, not only because of my appreciation for Sci-Fly Discs, but because this rebranding was quite a change for them. Not only did they change brand names, they also changed their disc production from their original 3D Printed releases to these new injection molded releases. Check out the video below if you want to see the sPUTTnik from Sci-Fly Discs (now Disc Golf Avenue) in flight.
That is pretty much going to sum this blog up. If you stuck around to read all of this, I appreciate you. As more discs keep popping up on the disc golf market, I will be here to tell you any and all info I know about the newest drops! Now if you are bored, go over to Baysinger's Disc Golf Channel on YouTube and check out a few episodes of Throwing EVERY Disc Possible.
Love,
Baysinger
