Alpas – Super Soft Stay Put Approach Disc PDGA…

We are excited to announce that the Alpas, our super soft stay-put approach disc has been PDGA approved!

If you play hilly or mountainous courses you know that one of the most frustrating things in disc golf is watching a good throw, hit the basket tray and roll all the way to the bottom of the hill quickly taking your projected score from a birdie to a bogey.

You can now avoid that pitfall with the Divergent Discs Alpas.

This disc is ultra soft, floppy, and can literally be bent in half making it perfect for approach shots that you want to stay putt without any skip or rollaway.

Shape and Feel

The Alpas is a thin profile disc (1.9cm) with a completely flat top. It is stiff enough to be thrown comfortably but flexible enough that upon impact it collapses and stays put.

Unlike our other discs made of thermoplastic polyurethane, the Alpas is made compressing silicone polymers. This process allows us to use a variety of mixed color patterns similar to the way Vibram rubber discs were made in the past.

Flight

At low speeds used for approach shots the Alpas exhibits a slightly overstable flight path with a consistent finishing fade.

If thrown with high power, the Alpas will exhibit a degree of high speed turnover. However this disc is not designed for high speed throws but is primarily for use as an approach disc.

We give the Alpas the following flight ratings:

• Speed: 3
• Glide: 3
• Turn: -1
• Fade: 2

When can I buy it?

Before we mass produced this disc we wanted to make sure that it passed PDGA approval for PDGA approval. Now that it has successfully passed we will begin mass production and hope to have this disc available for purchase in the United States and Europe by the end of July, 2021.

Be sure to follow us on social media for updates on when the Alpas will be available.

Future Divergent Discs

We currently have six disc golf discs under development. We hope that these additional discs will be available for sale for the summer shopping season.

We are very excited to soon have a full lineup of discs available so that disc golfers can play complete rounds with every shot availability using a Divergent Disc.

Basilisk Distance Driver – This is a very under stable high speed distance driver with a thick rim designed to give beginners the maximum possible distance.  Intermediate players will be able to get unprecedented distance with the Basilisk in tailwind situations.

Projected Flight Ratings 12/5/-4/1

Lawin Distance Driver – Lawin means “Eagle.” This high speed driver is designed to be an overstable utility disc for new players and a big distance bomber for forehand throws and players with more arm speed.

Projected Flight Ratings 12/5/-1/3

Minotaur Utility Driver – This very overstable fairway driver is designed for forehand throws, big hooking hyzers, and shot shaping anhyzer flex shots. You can count on the Minotaur when you need a big spikeing hyzer that won’t go too far.

Projected Flight Ratings 8/3/0/4

Kapre Midrange – The Kapre is a straight flying midrange with a deeper rim and more stability than the Leviathan. This is still a good midrange for beginners and recreational players, but intermediate players will also find more uses for the Kapre as an every throw workhorse mid.

Projected Flight Ratings 5/5/-1/1

Nuno Putter – The Nuno putter is designed to be a more traditional putting putter with a flatter top than the Narwhal.

Projected Fight Ratings 3/4/-1/1

Alpas Approach Disc – We are also increasing our line to include an ultra soft flexible approach disc made of silicone designed to stay put and not roll away. This disc was just PDGA approved and we hope to have it available in July. More details about the Alpas can be found here.

Package and Starter Sets

When the Basilisk, Kapre, and Nuno are mass produced we plan to have these three discs available in an additional three disc starter set. We hope to have this available in the US and Europe this summer.

Complete Set

Once all of the discs are available, we plan to sell them as a complete set that will also include a disc golf carrying bag.

Stock Stamp Starter Sets Now Available!

Discs have been produced and the stock stamp designed by the talented Kaito Choy has been applied.

These disc golf sets are available for sale on our website now and will soon be available on Amazon as well. For a limited time these disc golf sets are on sale! We will have the stock stamps listed for sale individually soon.

We are in the process of getting these discs PDGA approved and hope to have that process done by the end of next week. While these discs are designed for beginners and recreational players, many of our tester team has requested that they are PDGA approved so that they can use them during PDGA sanctioned tournaments. We will update you all when that process is complete.
