About Discraft
Discraft founders were captivated by the flying disc craze of the 1970’s. To interact with a spinning disc and watch it fly is truly a beautiful thing. Their frustration at the time was over the quality of the discs that were available; flight patterns were inconsistent, distance potential was low, and the quality in general was poor. Those discs were manufactured to be toys, and they wanted high performance sports equipment to keep up with the increasing skills of the players. In 1978 Discraft was launched to serve disc sports athletes.
Persistent innovation, research, and development met with the highest quality standards and creative graphics has maintained Discraft as a strong leader across 2 major disc sports around the world. Discraft is a manufacture of Disc Golf, Ultimate and Freestyle discs, which are produced to the highest quality.
