We currently have two different plastic varieties, MaxGrip and StayPut. MaxGrip is our plastic used for all of our traditional gold discs and sets wheareas StayPut is only for use in our specialty approach discs. Divergent Discs plastics are designed to provide maximum value and control for the recreational disc golfer.
While many companies have a multitude of different confusing plastic varieties at a variety of different prices, we have chosen to keep it simple and consistent. Rather than having base plastics, premium plastics, and durable plastics, where each plastic version creates a completely different flying disc, we have just one quality, affordable plastic.
MaxGrip
MaxGrip plastic is made out of a premium TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) blend designed for maximum grip. This plastic looks fantastic with a shimmering appearance. It is moderately soft and flexible allowing for adequate safety and performance.
This is a premium disc golf blend that is much more durable than most golf discs for sale at comparable prices. The elastic nature of Maxgrip plastic allows it to quickly return to shape and gives it a heartbeat sound when pressing in the flight plate of many of our discs.
StayPut
The plastic used for the Alpas and Golem is actually a Silicone blend similar to rubber. We call this plastic blend “StayPut” plastic. It is ultra soft, flexible, and designed to “Stay Put” next to the basket without skipping or bouncing. This unique golf disc material will save you strokes by keeping you near the basket.
Warning:
StayPut plastic can become brittle in cold weather. We advise against using these discs when outside temperatures are cold as discs can break on impact.
MaxGlow
Coming soon… We plan to have Max Grip discs available in a glow in the dark blend so that you can play disc golf after dark!
This plastic will provide the same great feel of MaxGrip with the added benefit of glowing in the dark.
