Science and Art = Disc Masterpieces

As a dedicated disc golfer, you've spent countless hours honing your skills and perfecting your bag. You've carefully selected each disc based on its flight characteristics and have found the perfect set that suits your playing style. But just when you thought you had it all, disc manufacturers have taken it to a whole new level by creating discs that are not only functional but also works of art.

The Art of Disc Golf

Many disc manufacturers now collaborate with artists to create stunning designs that turn these discs into true pieces of art. These discs feature intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and unique illustrations that make them stand out on the course.  Artists have now become renown for their disc art and associated with certain disc manufacturers - Mike Insho, John Dorn, Duncan Crawford aka Skulboy, Michael Ramanauskas, Manuel Trujillo, and Brian Allen are well known names in connection with MVP Disc Sports, Discmania and Discraft.

Disc manufacturers have also been experimenting with colours in their stock discs so that they can come in a multitude of colours and swirls. House of Discs has "Burst" and "Vapor" plastic; MVP Disc Sports has "Cosmic" plastic. When Innova introduced its Halo Star plastic in limited runs, they all had white flight plates with halo rims comprised mostly of a few different colours. Eventually, different coloured plates were used for their Halo Star Tour Series discs. House of Discs followed with their Orbit plastic for special run and team series discs. After Halo Star was finally released as stock discs in February 2023, Innova continued to experiment with colours. Their more recently released Halo Star stock discs - Halo Star Mamba, Halo Star Valkyrie and Halo Star Leopard3 - feature beautiful unique colour blends and combinations. Not to be outdone, House of Discs introduced swirls into its newest Grand Orbit Grace.
