The Remix Battleship is an overstable mid-range with a smooth flat top. This disc has a reliable fade and works well for both backhand and forehand shots. This disc is perfect for windy conditions. The Battleship is a very consistent flying beadless disc and is available in very premium plastics. This disc is now PDGA approved, and so can be used in PDGA sanctioned disc golf tournaments.
The Remix Ronan is an overstable fairway drive with a moderate rim width that works well for experienced players, forehand shots, and windy conditions. The Ronan has a flight similar to discs like the Innova Thunderbird. This disc is available in premium plastics that are unique from those created by the major disc manufacturers.

The Kestrel Putter/Approach Disc is a lid style frisbee designed for disc golf. This putter has a completely flat top and a flat blunt rim. It also features thumb grip grooves on the top of the flight plate for increased control, especially in inclement weather. While this disc feels similar to a traditional frisbee, it is substantially more overstable and demonstrates a flight path with a slight fading finish more similar to most disc golf discs.
As a low speed, low glide disc, the Kestrel putter does not go fast nor very far so is excellent for approach shots where you don’t want to stray too far from the basket. The mold used for the Kestrel Putt and Approach disc is the same one used for the Yikun Talon Claws. This putter is PDGA approved for tournament play.
The Kestrel Mid-Range golf disc is a small diameter mid-range and approach disc available in an inexpensive baseline plastic. This mid-range has a thin profile (not very tall) and a thin rim with a small bead (bump) around the edge. Do to the slower speed (rating of 3) this disc would likely be considered an approach disc by most disc golfers. This is an excellent approach shot with two available plastic types at the time of this post. The clear, translucent plastic is quite durable, however, the inexpensive opaque plastic feels very good, but is not very durable and is susceptible to warping with high impact shots at trees or other objects.
The Kestrel Outdoors Midrange has a stable flight path with a consistent end of flight fade. This disc uses the same mold as the Yikun Wings.
The Kestrel Fairway Driver is an understable disc golf driver available in both a durable (clear) and an inexpensive baseline plastic (opaque) at the time of this post. This is an excellent driver for new disc golfers, but the low quality plastic will easily wear and quickly beat in. Kestrel gives this driver flight ratings with a speed of seven, glide of six, turn of -1, and fade of 1. Once the Kestrel driver gets beat in, most users will find that the disc becomes substantially more understable. This Fairway driver uses the same mold as the Yikun View, and is PDGA approved for tournament play.
The Halex Midrange is a 160 gram base plastic understable golf disc that has the same shape and flight as the Halex Driver. It really seems that the only thing different between the Driver and the Midrange is that the stamp printed on the Midrange says Midrange rather than Driver.
Like the Driver, this disc does not fly well if thrown for more than 100 feet. It likes to turn quickly and roll on the ground rather than fly through the air like normal disc golf discs. The Halex Midrange should only be recommended for children and beginners who don’t have much athleticism. The Halex Midrange is not PDGA approved, nor should it ever bee because there is no reason that any player would ever want to use this disc in a tournament.
The Discmania Guardian Lion is the first disc golf disc made available from the recent Discmania/Yikun partnership and is branded with the Active Line stamp.
The Guardian Lion is an easy to throw base plastic putter disc that is similar to the Yikun Gui putter. This frisbee is perfect for lowering scores by its ability to grab the chains and drop right in. It’s limited glide also provides extra control and prevents you from sailing to far past the basket when you don’t want to.
The artwork for the Guardian Lion features a large Lion, kind of like the statues you see in front of old buildings. This disc is perfect for introducing you to the Discmania Active disc line.
Perhaps the most coveted new disc release of 2019 is the Kastaplast Gote or Goat (meaning a person from Southern Sweden and not an animal, or the Greatest Of All Time, although after testing this disc, some might think of it as that kind of GOAT).
Kastaplast has quickly become one of the darlings of the discgolf world with its uniqe plastic blend and excellent feel. One cannot help but look at Kastaplast and realize the quality of production. For this reason, there has been a lot of buzz (not related to a certain Discraft disc which is said to have a similar flight) and excitement around Kastaplasts latest release.
The Gote is a standard straight line mid-range with flight ratings Speed 4, Glide aloft 5, High Speed Turn 0, and Low Speed Fade 1. This is the perfect do it all mid-range disc with a thinner rim and slower speed than the Kask. This disc will hold a line when thrown with power but will not turn over. For lower speed throwers, the Gote will provide a reliable consistent flight with a gradual fading finish.
In the coveted first run release the Gote will be available in K1 plastic.
The Halex Putter is a standard understable putter disc that works well for beginners. This disc weighs 167 grams (at least that’s what’s printed on the front stamp of this disc) and is available in a stiff base level plastic. The Halex putter has decent glide and stays fairly straight. This is a smooth putter that does not have a bead around the rim. The flight of the Halex Putter is good for new disc golfers who are familiar with the flight of a traditional frisbee. The Halex putter works well for both backhand and forehand approach shots.
The Halex Driver is possibly the most understable disc golf driver on the market. While this disc doesn’t have official flight ratings, in fact the only information about it is that it is 160g, this disc will experience “high speed turn” for low power shots of less than 100 feet. If you try to throw it with full power it will flip all the way upside down. At medium speed it will turn into a roller, but usually doesn’t roll very far before falling upside down.
If this disc had flight ratings they would be something like 6/4/-10/1. This disc is even too understable for beginners and would only be useful for young children and brand new players with very limited arm speed that are looking for a disc that will turn right with a right hand backhand throw.
