What's the most carried manufacturer of discs?

[DiscJunkie]

I carry mostly discraft, for a lot of reasons. mostly, I have had better success with Discraft discs. I like the feel of ESP plastic. I also carry Innova, Millenium, Lightning and Gateway.
Whatever works.

innova. this is probably beacuse they were the first company and everyone knows them, and also evidenced by how hard it is to find two disc from the same run.

Discraft is an older company than Innova. They started making discs in '79, Innova didn't show up until '83. Innova did make the first beveled-edge golf disc and held the patent, but within a year of that both Discraft and Lightning had beveled-edge discs on the market.

Millenium is Innova

No more than DGA is Discraft.

All Innova so far. I haven't been able to find any other plastic where I'm at.

 

[bjreagh]

Millenium is Innova

Yes, but no. I believe Innova owns and manufactures Millennium, but it is still a separate line of discs...at least that is how I see it!

Chevy is GM. Old Navy is The Gap. ESPN is ABC. Yet they are all commonly viewed as separate.

I can get DX innovas at wal-mart for the cheapest price in town. It's kind of a lotery to see what they have.

My Wal-Mart carries DX and Pro discs for minimum retail price.

[Midnightbiker]

Most of my discs are Innova, but my putters are Discraft

 

[A.Mutt]

11 Discraft
3 Gateway
1 DGA
1 Innova

I used to use only Innova but over the years I have found my hand prefers Discraft plastic/molds and Gateway for putters. I'm keeping a Teebird because right now I like it best for overhand shots.

 

[garublador]

2 Star Destroyers
3 Spirits
1 OLF
1 Avenger
2 Teebirds
3 Gazelles
3 Rocs
5 Wizards

So molds:
Innova - 4
Discraft - 1
Millennium - 1
Gateway - 2

Actual discs:
Innova - 10
Discraft - 1
Millennium - 1
Gateway - 8

 

[innova]

I tried many different discs over the years. I migrated to Innova eventually... completely.

Why? Not only because I prefer their discs... but also I had the opportunity to briefly meet and speak to many company reps for the disc companies over the years. My personal impression is Innova employs and sponsors some pretty darn special folks and have a corporate mission statement / attitude that I respect.

That is mostly why I am loyal to Innova... the cool folks they employ not to mention the badass products they produce.

When I volunteered to staff at a Pro Worlds I stayed in the same camp out house for a week with a couple of the Innova sponsored players and all I can say is Innova has something really special going on.

Merely an opinion I have obtained thru experiences. Innova Rocs. Pun intended.

 

[SpringDgLover]

Mainly Innova, but I also like Discraft and the discs they make for DGA. I put with the Titanic and it rocks.

[taxman]

in the bag:
3 ching discs
2 discraft discs
5 innova discs

i have a lot of discs in the trunk. they are either extras for when i loose a disc or discs i purchased and don't really care for. there are a few discraft in there but most are innova.

my first discs were ching discs and i really liked them. when i started expanding my bag i just kind of purchased whatever sounded good. the main reason i have so many innova is because that's all the stores here carry. and i have to purchase probably 3 or so diff discs before i find one that i really like.

 

[kerplunk]

Wow, I think based on this I'm going to invest in Innova. But competition is good, and maybe when the elite-z buzzz takes over the midrange market Innova will make Rocs normally available in champion and star. There should be a forum debating these two discs.... (sarcasm)

My bag is mostly Innova, like other folks mostly just based on availability. Plus, when you start with Innova discs it is easier to predict how other Innova discs will behave, and their ratings system is just so much better. Plus I hate ESP plastic- maybe it was just the discs I got but they were not grippy and got beat up easy- the worst of both worlds. Not worth the money.

I do LOVE my z buzzz and my soft banger gt. I played a round once with just a buzzz, flick and banger- I didn't realize I was playing an all Discraft round until halfway through. I shot a little better than average though.

In my current bag:
Innova 19
Discraft 2
Millenium 2
DGA 2

I feel the same as quoted by "innova", in that I met several reps and players for them. <Their east coast ops are located in Rock Hill SC> Almost all the tournaments in this area are sponsored by them, so of course the Am payouts are Innova. I do however like the others that I carry in my bag. First off my Blowflies <dga> these are my "can't live without" discs. My 2 discraft are the Flick, and the Crush. Both are strictly forehand discs, and I like them because they are stable, but predictable. I KNOW where they are going to go when I release them on my line that I throw. The 2 millenium, 1 is the omega ss, which is my "go-to" putter in the wind. Or if I need a touch hyzer shot when I putt I use this in place of my blowfly. My other is the Orion Sirius LF. It is similar to Innova's star plastic. This disc is so suited for my throwing style. It is "flippy" if you throw it with anhyzer off the teepad, but it is stable at the end of it's flight. So it's perfect to use for those "s-turn" holes.
