In lightweight Opto Plastic the Diamond’s high Glide, low Fade, and Understable flight combine to produce long, straight flights, even when thrown with very little power.
As your release velocity increases, the Diamond becomes an excellent anhyzer disc or distance roller disc.

This is probably the 3rd time I have ordered from you guys. My stuff was all accurate and shipping was fast. Usually your prices are good and the only I would like to see from the site is a little more selection (I do think the limited selection is on purpose, to ensure you are only selling the best discs, but maybe it’s just because you don’t carry other brands, I don’t know). Thanks for the great service! Keep it up!!

Thanks Matt!
Yes, you are correct — we only carry discs that we highly recommend for their intended use. We are, however, evaluating discs outside of the ten brands we currently recommend, and we evaluate all new molds (after they are approved by the PDGA) for consideration in our store.
This year we are also beginning to publish quarterly updates to our subscribers to let them know which new discs we have added (and why).
