DGA Golf Discs Review
I just had my first experience testing DGA golf discs, and so far I’m not impressed.
DGA currently sells fourteen different golf discs: six drivers, three mid range, and five putters. They has five different types of plastic, but not all their discs are available in all the different plastic types. DGA’s high quality “SP Line” plastic is clear and durable like Discraft Z-Line.
The “Proline” plastic is the next grade DGA uses. Unfortunately, most of my test discs are in this plastic. This is the most slippery plastic used for disc golf frisbees. I really struggled throwing DGA discs in the proline plastic and they tended to slip out of my hand before the natural release point.
DGA also has a less expensive “D-Line” plastic for some of their discs. For throwing new discs, I liked this one much better. This plastic is like Discraft Pro-D, and is not very durable. After a throw into the fence, the damage to my Tsunami is very noticeable.Top Disc Golf Brands and Manufacturers
DGA also has a special RDGA, light weight plastic line designed for beginners. I haven’t tested any of these discs, but love the idea. For beginners and people who don’t have good throwing form, the right light weight disc can add a lot of distance and confidence. All of the regular weight drivers I tested were too over-stable for me to get max distance, and a lightweight one might have helped me get some more turn.
The last plastic blend DGA offers is found in their “Blowfly” putters. This is a super flexible, rubbery blend that makes for the softest golf discs on the market. If you want to fold your disc into a taco before you throw it, this is the disc for you. The Blowfly putters make the Millennium Omega Super Soft look hard. I love the feel of these putters, but am curious to see how they will perform in our putt and approach tests.
DGA provides five primary types of plastic for their discs, each with distinct characteristics:
-
SP Line Plastic:
-
Clear and highly durable, comparable to Discraft Z-Line.
-
Offers excellent grip and flight stability.
-
Ideal for players who want long-lasting, professional-quality discs.
-
-
Proline Plastic:
-
Most of my test discs were in this plastic.
-
Smooth and slippery, which made it difficult to hold during throws.
-
Discs tended to slip out of my hand before release, which negatively impacted accuracy and distance.
-
-
D-Line Plastic:
-
Affordable, beginner-friendly plastic similar to Discraft Pro-D.
-
Provides decent grip and flight consistency.
-
Less durable—any collisions with fences or trees result in noticeable damage, as I experienced with the DGA Tsunami.
-
-
RDGA Lightweight Plastic:
-
Designed for beginners or players with low arm speed.
-
Lightweight discs help increase distance and confidence.
-
Ideal for players struggling to achieve proper turn or throw mechanics.
-
-
Blowfly Putters:
-
Extremely flexible and soft, making them the most pliable discs on the market.
-
Perfect for players who enjoy tactile feedback during putting.
-
Allows for creative shot techniques like folding the disc slightly before release.

While I don’t like the feel of the DGA proline discs, I do like the bright colors they come in. The bright smooth look will undoubtedly save disc golfers time when it comes to searching for lost discs.
From my sample of DGA discs, I’m not a fan. DGA does sell some other great disc golf products, accessories, and apparel. I love my portable DGA-Mach 14 disc golf basket.
I recently had the chance to test several DGA golf discs, and after a few rounds, I have mixed feelings. DGA currently offers fourteen different disc golf discs, including six drivers, three midrange discs, and five putters. While their disc lineup is diverse, my first experience with their discs left me somewhat unimpressed in terms of feel and performance—though some features are noteworthy.
Since 2011, DGA has been producing high-quality discs with multiple plastic blends, which are designed to meet the needs of both beginners and experienced disc golfers. Their plastics range from durable and grippy to super flexible and soft Top Disc Golf Brands and Manufacturers
