Finding the best disc golf discs for your bag can feel overwhelming with so many putters, midranges, fairway drivers, and distance drivers on the market. Every player is searching for discs that provide straight flights, dependable stability, and consistent control, but the right choices often depend on skill level and throwing style. In this guide, we break down some of the most popular and highest-performing discs that players across the disc golf community trust for putting, approaches, and long drives. Whether you’re a beginner looking for your first reliable driver or an experienced player searching for that perfect approach disc, these top discs have earned a reputation for delivering confidence on the course.
Dynamic Discs Judge
This one might surprise some of you to see it on the list but I think that it is one of the more slept on throwing putters out there. This disc loves to glide straight down fairways for approach shots and makes and excellent choice for players looking for a new putter especially if you like spin putting! The Judge offers very agreeable straight flight with a comfortable hand feel that is tough to beat.
Axiom Envy
Not too long ago, MVP was a niche brand with only a few discs that had broken into the mainstream disc golf market. The Envy was one of those discs and for a good reason. Sometimes a disc is so good that it just can't be ignored and in my opinion that is what happened with the Envy. It is one of the farthest flying throwing putters on the market and is a great choice for players looking for a putter that they can feel confident with off the tee.
Discraft Zone
The Discraft Zone on this list is probably no surprise to any of you. It has existed for quite a while now and there are still very few if any discs that have successfully replicated its flight. One of the biggest arguments for this disc is the way that it changed the game once a few of the top pros got sponsored by Discraft. It is almost a cheat code for chip shots and drives that you don't quite need a mid for but you want the consistency that you can trust.
Innova Roc
I genuinely believe that one of the only reasons the Roc is not currently one of the best selling mid ranges on the market right now is because the Disc Golf Pro Tour outgrew the true mid range discs like the Roc. Here's something to think about though. You're not on the Pro Tour and your local course hasn't outgrown the classic mid range! This means that the Roc might just be the exact disc you are looking for and you don't even know it! It has a slower flight than a lot of modern mids but a beautiful overstable flight that beats in to give you control that is rarely found in disc golf!
Discraft Buzzz
The Discraft Buzzz is similar to the Axiom Envy in that it was the disc that gave Discraft any type of market share prior to the Paul McBeth move back in 2019. It is funny to think that Discraft was one of the more niche brands back then, but in reality the majority of players you ran across only had a Buzzz or a Zone from Discraft in their bag if they had any. That is just how good both of these discs are. The Buzzz is the disc that in my opinion brought on the modern mid range and in the process killed discs like the Roc because people decided they would rather have a mid that flew with the control of the Roc and the distance of their fairway drivers. Hard to argue with that.
Axiom Crave
The Axiom Crave is a disc that turns skeptics into believers of gyro technology in MVP discs. Coming in as a 6 speed, the Crave will travel as far as a lot of 9 and 10 speeds with unrivaled precision. It is slept on quite a bit due to all the new releases on the market today but if you haven't watched one fly down a fairway, you are missing out!
Innova Teebird
The Innova Teebird used to be the disc that everyone recommended when you were ready to step into throwing drivers. Nowadays there are so many options that the Teebird, while still an incredible thrower, gets left behind. I think the modern disc golfer is really missing out if they have not tried the consistent flight that a Teebird has to offer! Similar to the Roc, the Teebird is beautiful in the fact that arguably its best flight isn't seen until the disc beats in which makes it a great option for players looking to cut back on spending and buy a disc that is going to be in their bag for years!
Discraft Passion
The Passion is one of the newest releases on the list but also one of the discs on the list that I am most confident belongs here. The flight of the Passion is something that in my over a decade of playing I have rarely found. It fits everyones game as it offers new players a consistent straight flight with a finish at the end and it offers pros a great hyzer-flip to turnover option straight out of the box! There is a reason this disc won Foundation Disc Golf's disc of the year in 2024... It is just that good!
Innova Firebird
The Firebird is a disc that is rarely on the top selling lists because once you buy one good one, you basically never need another one. Literally my favorite Firebird is one that has been in and out of my bag since USDGC in 2015! What is even more insane about that is the fact that unlike other discs, it still holds the same slot as when I put it in there. That is just what a Firebird does. It fights wind, fades hard, and gives you confidence in every shot! There have been many discs that have tried to replicate the Firebird but in my opinion none have come close. If you are still looking for that consistently overstable 9 speed, stop looking because this is the one for you!
Innova Wraith
Last but not least we have the Innova Wraith. Funny enough I originally had the Destroyer in this slot but as I was looking in to what other people recommend and forums on Reddit, I found that the Wraith is recommended a lot more than the Destroyer. I think this is due to the slower speed and slightly less stable flight making it more agreeable for a wide variety of players. One thing I like to always point out is that when players go from pretty much any manufacturer sponsorship back to being open bag, the firsts discs back in their bag are almost always Destroyers and or Wraiths. Now is it because of nostalgia or because these drivers are actually the best on the market? Only one way to find out.
