Golem Second StayPut Disc Under Production

Due to the vast popularity of demand of the Alpas StayPut approach disc, we have developed a second StayPut approach disc, the Golem.

Like the Alpas, the Golem is made of a super soft Silicone that doesn’t bounce or skip. Where the disc lands, it will stay within a few feet.

Unlike the Alpas, the Golem is a very overstable approach disc. This means that the disc will be very consistent, will only travel in one direction, and will not go very far. If you are a right handed player and throw the Golem on a backhand throw it will finish to the left. Aim to the right of your target and enjoy the consistency.

Need the Golem to finish to the right? Throw it forehand and don’t worry about it gliding too far or turning left.

The Golem is being sent to the PDGA for approval and we hope to have it available for wholesale and retail purchase by the end of the year.

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: -2
• Fade: 2

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 as players develop more arm speed. Once the Basilisk gets too flippy, the Lawin will be the driver of choice for big distance.

Projected Flight Ratings 12/5/-2/2

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

TIYANAK Fairway Driver – This is a super easy to throw fairway driver that is more understable than the Kraken. This is a true beginner driver designed to give the brand new player max distance and a straight flight path.

Projected Flight Ratings 8/5/-4-1

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.
