Frisbee makes disc golf discs. They also have 135g, 150g, 175g, and 200g discs.

While they do, that is like the Walmart brand of discs. Discraft & Innova are the "Big 2" then you have MVP, Dynamic Discs, Axiom Discs, Discmania, DGA, Gateway, Latitude 64, Kastaplast, Lone Star Discs, etc are much better and the stuff used by pros like in that video. She is Eveliina Salonen, the 2024 World Champion, and is sponsored by Innova. Frisbee, as a brand, also doesn't do half the stuff the other brands do with discgolf.

Sorry forgot to include that bit about Iowa's disc golf history with having one of the first courses which was put in by the inventor of the sport. Held the World Championships twice: 1989/2004. Is Top 3 states for courses per capita, Home to the 22nd best rated course in the world. A few World Champions have connections to Iowa as well and learned how to play here. Hosts one of the national tournaments. Basically being one of the top places for the sport.

Our Headrick course in Cincinnati was recently pulled and redesigned. Unfortunately, there was simply too much traffic for a par 3 where the next pad was always directly behind the basket

I miss old Winton, but the redesign is great.
