| - Earlier the day I went here I was playing on the Fountain Hills course when someone asked me about discs. I explained to them that there are different brands of discs, that there are putters, midranges, fairway drivers, distance drivers, and that in each of these categories there are different discs that behave in different ways...in the end of the discussion I told them there were probably easily 100+ different molds of discs. They were shocked, and as I continued on through the course I thought maybe I had exaggerated the number.
Then we came here. We don't have anything like this within an hour and a half drive of where I live, so when I make it to a place like this I treat myself. Doubly so if I'm on vacation like I was when I came here. 100+ molds is no exaggeration. The walls here are filled with every brand of disc maker, every mold as well. It's amazing. It's a disc golfer mecca.
As we had just played at Fountain Hills for the first time I obviously needed to replace a disc that had gone in the fountain so I bought a new Christmas edition Star Leopard3. I also wanted a disc with a stamp from the course, which they had a ton of. I ended up with a dyemax sheriff stamp from the 2015 Memorial. My putting game has been a little off, so I decided on a special blend wizard that I've heard a lot of positive things about. My girlfriend also wanted me to buy the Legacy Christmas disc with the Grinch on it, so I bought one of those. I also bought a Dynamic Discs hat and an Innova shirt.
I spent a little bit more than I was expecting, and I realized after we left that there was a Yelp check-in offer that was still valid, but overall I was thrilled with my purchases. The next day we played in San Diego and my new putter was insane. I hit all but one putt with it, with three of them being 20+ feet.
What a great shop, I wish we had something like it near me in Utah.
