Top 5 Over-Hype/Under-Hype Disc Golf Discs 

Owen’s overhyped list is 100% spot-on! Overhyped doesn’t mean it’s bad in any way, just not deserving of some religious following as if it’s the only disc to fly like it does.

Owen kept mixing up overhyped and under hyped, so maybe that’s why the Berg made his under hyped list.

I first started out throwing a dolphin, before graduating to an x clone.

the "zone clones" I've tried have all been slightly different, but the "buzzz clones" are all the same. I don't think anyone is ripping off anyone else, necessarily. everybody needs a straight flying midrange and a reliably overstable throwing putter. that's just how the game works, it's not something one company invented. if it's the same shaped disc, sure. but harp/pig/stabilizer/a2 are pretty different shapes from the original zone, aren't they?

imma go one step further, every OG mold has nothing special. Destroyer, Buzzz, Zone, Roc, Aviar, Teebird, Wraith, Thunderbird. They’re all overrated because they don’t do anything better than other discs but people assume they’re better because they’re older

I hated destroyers and gave all mine away. Then I found a 167g olive green pro plastic mold.

I got my instinct from the mysterybox and its the colour changing one (starts out purple, put it in sunlight and it starts to fade to pink) is absolute money ❤

I'll defend the time-lapse a bit for a different point of view. I'm a big fan of the destroyer and in terms of visibility, axiom has been really good for me because of the sharp color difference between the rim and the core which is something that is not replicated by halo style plastics (bleeds into one another instead of being a sharp color transition). So to me the time-lapse is a perfect destroyer just because of the visibility. I agree its overhyped because of Simon but for visibility reasons I do love it.

Sorry. Not sorry. The fact that destroyers all differ is an argument that that disc is for everyone depending on the run and the plastic. I have flippy destroyers. I carry a Mint Goat for a total beef stick.

Really enjoy the discussion! Everyone has their favorites, but I appreciate you putting your opinions out there. Of course I agree and disagree 😃 Good stuff! Thank you.

I don't think there is much hype around the Detour because there hasn't been any stock runs yet

Haha, while I can't agree with the majority of Owen's picks, I do agree with him on the Firefly. It's a P2, but it glides more and is just a little straighter, which for me, was perfect for getting my putting dialed in.

Man cool 'podcast' setup!!

I just got done playing Zboaz actually and that wind was kicking brother. Sucks it's about to freeze this weekend but we still need to link up Owen and play a round brother.

I would mention that the Crave gets plenty of hype good talk up and very often recommend to almost all players. Guess we just run in different circles. Some of Owen’s picks were indeed questionable. Enjoyed the video.

@ThrowinWithOwen its wild to hear some of yalls over and under hyped especially the crave because i just bought one and man it is so buttery it's not even funny! Good list though!

love this format.

I used to throw Innova then I started to have the inconsistencies problem. Slowly other brands cam into the bag. The only discs that were Innova that stayed were a gazelle, mako3, and archon. Started to throw alot of trilogy but they were sometimes expensive. I never touched discraft cause they were way to expensive. But I started to get irritated cause no matter what disc I bought they would all beat in and would need to be replaced after 4 months. I only throw Lonestar now. They're plastic is just superior. However I do miss my gazelle and and sword. But that's really it

I was at Zboaz yesterday and the front 9 was SO windy. I was missing easy putts because the wind would either slam them to the ground or pick them up over the basket.

Huk laps don’t cost anything crazy if you can make a decent stencil 👀

The buzzz and the Zone are what every other company tries to copy same with destroyer everyone tries to copy it. Not over hyped just the best.

I think the Slammer from DD is under hyped, that's the trilogy cult in me though

I have issues with the Buzzz, got an ESP and an Flx one, they feel "sluggish" in the air, I prefer the Claymore and got a beat in eMac Truth for the stright slot, also trying out an Apollo for even more strigt distance, a bit faster flying. Seems I need to get a Zone zoon ;D I bought into the Glitch and a Beetle when they were released (ofc the Beetle isn't new but had been out of stock for ages!), I love to throw both for fun but the Glitch is in my bag, I use a grip that suits most putters nicely, no griplocks, need to do more formwork to be able to use them for actual holes unless after missing my drive. The Watt is where I put my over-hype, I have an Ohm to pick up instead, to compliment my Glow Envy, the Pilot I have is a bit to flippy and a bit to grippy. My FD in C-line is more stable than my Explorer or Teebird, I don't like it at all, its my least favorite slot, stable 7 speeds, replacing it with my GStar Thunderbird! :P I have a multitude of new discs sitting awaiting no snow and more sunlight, most never flown; PA-5, Glow Berg, MX-1, FX-4, Glow D Model US, D2 Pro, Saint Pro, Lots, Ruby, Ohm, Origin, Cicada, A3, Snoopy, Dynasty, Orbital, a new Ballista in Gold plastic and some more... ^_^

Them are some flaming hot takes let me tell you

my top pick for overrated was the Glitch. It's the best selling disc on infitiediscs this year and that is insane.

Okay okay, the zone isn’t overhyped. The rest of those discs are absolutely overhyped. I’ve tried just about every single overstable approach disc out there and the zone is by far the best one. Plastic options, feel, flight, and consistency set it apart. I think there’s a reason why so many open bag pro’s will bag the zone, it’s just better.

This younger generation talking trash about the OGs… 🙄 They’re not over hyped, they’re over-replicated.

Zone OS is insanely overhyped while at the same time a lower profile, even more OS disc, the Tilt of midranges, the Prodiscus Premium Troija is severely underhyped. Like basically every Prodiscus mold is. Seriously tho, the Troija is ridiculously overstable, way more overstable than the Justice/Mutant and feels extremely good on a forehand grip. I like it, I get it if someone doesn't tho.

I've tried a lot of Zone like discs and just came back to the Zone. And the Pig is the Zone?? stop

I like the opinions. Please shave or fix your mustache buddy

Glitch is an easy sell to new comers. Don’t like disc golf after investing you can still use it for catch.

Thumbs up for pops list.... Owen gets two thumbs down.

buzzz is overhyped worse version of an m4!! A2 > Zone

bad takes cemtral

Zone is not over hyped... The only disc that feels and flys like a zone is the Horny Toad
