June was a really fun month because this list ended up looking nothing like I expected. We had a bunch of special releases, a few stock discs that continue to prove they are staples, and even a couple of discs that I honestly didn't think would have the staying power they have shown so far. There are some familiar names, some surprises, and probably one of the weirdest top 10 lists we have ever had. As always, these rankings are based on what actually sold on our site throughout the month, so let's take a look at the 25 best selling discs of June.
1. KonMan Shaman OS (Gateway Aro)
Leading the way this month was the much anticipated release of the Konner Shaman OS (Gateway Aro). The Konner Shaman has been one of our most popular personality discs over the past 2 and a half years since the initial release and in many ways was the disc that set the personality series up for success. When the opportunity came around to run the OS version of this disc, we knew it was going to be a hit and that it was!
2. Hooligan Cash
The Trevor Cash saw a refresh this month with a new stamp and plastic combo being released on the site. People were very excited to get their hands on a refreshed version of another one of our popular personality stamped discs! The Shaman, Shaman OS, and Cash are the perfect combination for your throwing putter slots.
3. Prodigy Pa-3
The last special edition Foundation disc before we hit the stock stuff was the Hunter Thomas signature PA-3. This saw a restock and the second release of the year and people are loving them. They are a recreation of Hunter's favorite run of Pa-3 (the 2014 Proto run) with a nice puddle top and stiff feel. Great choice for putting and throwing on the course!
4. Discraft UltraLuna
The UltraLuna started as a fun idea in the boxes earlier this year but Discraft made the coice to bring them out of the box and into the stock disc world with the first run release in their soft and normal putter blend plastic. It will be interesting to see if they continue releasing these in all plastics and eventually create the Big Z UltraLuna which I think would be the most sought after, but for now we have them in baseline and people are hyped!
5. MVP Bokeh
The Bokeh is officially a stock MVP disc and quickly becoming a staple in player's bags. We knew the stock version was going to be popular after the special edition release earlier this year so it is no surprise to see it crack the top 5 here.
6. Innova Wraith
The Wraith continues to be one of the top selling distance drivers on the market but the month of June gave it a boost with the Bogey Bros stamped Halo Wraith hitting the site. More and more people are starting to discover how great the Wraith is and the full flight that it provides for people who throw in that 350-400 foot range.
7. Nerf Midrange
I am really surprised to see both the Nerf Mid and Driver this high on the list. They released at the end of May and were very popular but what you are looking at here is the restock sales that happened in June as we sold out in May. What surprises me about this is that there is a little bit more longevity than I expected within the disc golf audience. The discs are awesome and great for beginners but within the die hard disc golf audience that shops on our site, I expected it to be more of a flash in the pan than an ongoing sales type of mold. It is still new so I will be very very surprised if it makes the top 10 again.
8. Nerf Driver
Same as above but a little less popular.
9. Elevation Koi
The first time the Koi broke the top 10 I was surprised, but now that I have been around it more and gotten used to it, I am becoming a believer. If a disc has the ability to immediately make your upshot game better by practically eliminating the potential for rollaways, why wouldn't you use it? That is the question that I ask myself regarding the Elevation lineup. Personally I bag a groundhog, but the principle is the same and being felt by a lot of people. It is a niche disc, but becoming more mainstream by the minute!
10. Doomsday Oxymoron
Rounding out what has to be the most unusual top 10 ever is the Oxymoron. This isn't even really a disc, but it is called one so here we are. These are popular mainly because people just have to try it for themselves. I think the run will be short as there isn't much utility, but at the end of the day disc golf is about having fun and I don't know if anyone has bought this "disc" and not have fun. So from that standpoint, it is in the top 10 right where it belongs.
