Halex Golf Discs Review: I recently found myself stranded for more than a week in Wilmington, Delaware, after unexpected travel restrictions kept me from leaving the state. Luckily, the area is home to some of the best disc golf courses on the East Coast. The only problem? I had brought just two discs with me. Wanting to make the most of my time — and unsure how long I’d be stuck here — I decided to grab a few more discs I could get quickly. That’s when I discovered Halex Golf Discs available at Walmart.
Being familiar with Halex from their table tennis products (I’ve used plenty of their ping pong balls), I thought this was the perfect opportunity to test their disc golf set and see how it performs.
1. First Impressions – Good Packaging, Poor Performance
The packaging looked sleek and clearly labeled for “disc golf target, game use, or practice.” Unfortunately, that was the first red flag — the Halex golf discs reminded me of the disappointing Aerobie sharpshooter set. These discs are made
by a company that clearly doesn’t understand disc flight or
golf
disc design.
All three discs are made from the same low-grade base plastic. While the putter felt decently stiff (almost McPro-like), the midrange and driver were identical in shape, differing only by color and printed labels.
2. Grip and Design Issues
Both the driver and midrange have extremely shallow rims, making them difficult to grip even for players with small hands. For players with larger fingers, achieving a proper power grip is nearly impossible.
The plastic feels slick, and the printed weights on the front — while a nice idea — won’t help anyone who doesn’t already understand disc weight differences.
3. Flight Test – A Comedy of Errors
At the course, I started with the orange driver on a 400+ foot downhill hole. It flipped over after about 50 feet and landed nearly upside down. Even
when thrown at lower power, every Halex Golf Disc turned over uncontrollably — the most understable discs I’ve ever thrown.
The yellow midrange warped after hitting a tree, and one disc rolled into a creek — which I didn’t bother retrieving. After several more attempts, it became clear these discs are unpredictable and nearly unusable for proper play.
4. The Only Redeeming Disc – The Putter
Surprisingly, the Halex putter is the only disc worth mentioning. It’s great for short forehand approach shots and feels comfortable in hand thanks to its stiff plastic. It flies similarly to an Ultimate Frisbee and could serve beginners or casual players practicing short throws.
5. Final Verdict – Avoid at All Costs
As a duty to the disc golf community, I must say: do not waste your money on the Halex Disc Golf Set. Unless you’re buying for children under ten or looking for joke-round discs, these are not worth it.
There are far better beginner sets from trusted brands like Innova, Dynamic Discs, and Discraft.
While the Halex Golf Discs Review highlights major flaws in flight stability, it also serves as a reminder of how important disc design and plastic quality are for performance. Players who are serious about improving their game should invest in reliable starter sets that offer consistent grip, durable plastic, and predictable flight patterns. Brands like Innova, Latitude 64, and Discraft have beginner-friendly options that will help new players build confidence without frustration.
Halex might attract attention because of its low price and availability at Walmart, but the lack of flight consistency makes these discs a poor long-term choice. Even for casual rounds or practice throws, there are many affordable alternatives that provide a much better experience.
If you’re just starting your disc golf journey, skip the Halex Golf Discs and go for a trusted brand that’s proven on the course. In the end, spending a little more upfront saves you the disappointment of throwing discs that simply don’t perform as they should.
