Lightning is one of the oldest disc golf manufacturers. They do not actively create new discs any more but it may be possible to still find some of their discs at select retail locations.
Lightning’s fastest distance driver. The MX1 is a sleek disc with a thin rim depth. This disc’s rim is thicker than any other Lightning disc at 2.1 cm. The flight path of the MX-1 is slightly overstable and it comes with a very significant high speed turn and substantial end flight fade. This disc turns over fairly easily, though it’s not good for forehand shots, but it does make a nice roller. This is a nice driver for intermediate disc golfers.
The MX-1 is no longer available.
This stable straight flying putter has a great feel that is sure to aid in making putts. The Rubber putter has a very thin, but deep rim, and is taller than the average disc at 2.2cm in height. The Rubber putter isn’t really made of rubber, but instead is a grippy plastic that feels rubbery.

Improve your short game with The Upshot. This putter disc has absolutely minimal fade to aid you in landing near the basket on approach shots, and in the chains from putts. This disc also floats in water and is inexpensive.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive disc that will anhyzer and curve to the right on your backhand throw, the #2 Slice is one to consider. This is the most understable disc that Lightning makes, and in its ultra low weights, it is considered to be one of the most understable discs on the market.
The #2 Slice is the perfect driver for beginners, as its light weight and understable tendencies will help developing players overcome too much low speed fade. The fact that this disc floats makes it a valuable asset on ultra wet courses.
Unfortunately, this disc is no longer available.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive straight flying putter, you can’t beat the #2 putter. This is a slow flying, easy to control disc that wont stray from its intended flight path. This putter floats, making it ideal for baskets near water.
This disc is no longer available.
The #2 Hyzer is a “radical, overstable Hookshot that is totally wind resistant”. This Hyzer is not only the most overstable disc Lightning makes, but boasts of being one of the most overstable on the market. If you are a power thrower who wants a medium driver that won’t flip over at all from your shots, consider the #2 Hyzer.
This disc is no longer available.
Lightning claims that the #2 Hookshot is a “very fast, long range driver”. We consider it more of a mid-range hooking control disc, this is just not that fast of a disc. The #1 Hookshot can handle strong winds and powerful shots, it also makes for an excellent mid-range disc.
This disc is no longer available.
The #2 Helix is one of the fastest flying discs in the Lightning line. This disc is overstable, with some high speed turn at the front of the flight allowing for great helix (S-Curve) shots when given power at an anhyzer angle.
Lightning recommends this disc for experienced players. In Lightning’s Standard plastic in lower weight ranges, it floats.
This disc is no longer available.
The #1 Slice is one of Lightnings faster understable drivers. This disc will maintain its anhyzer flight for power throwers, and experience a helix S-curve for intermediate disc golfers. In the standard Lighting plastic, the #1 Slice floats in water, so long as it is less than 170 grams.
This disc is no longer available.
The #2 Roller is a unique disc with a wide diameter that will anhyzer and roll for almost all forehand shots. It was designed specifically to roll along the ground.
This disc is no longer available.
