I got really excited when I received an email newsletter from Vibram, announcing that their disc golf discs were back in stock. For disc golf enthusiasts, this is exciting news because Vibram discs are known for their high-quality rubber, superior grip, scuff resistance, and durability compared to standard plastic discs. Each disc also features a unique, one-of-a-kind color pattern, making every disc visually striking and collectible.

Vibram has reintroduced their performance-driven discs, catering to both casual players and serious disc golfers. The excitement around these discs is well-founded: they are made of premium rubber that not only offers a great tactile feel but also enhances performance on the course. These discs perform well in a variety of conditions, including wet or slippery weather, thanks to their high-grip construction.

When you throw rubber, you throw the best.
While their disc golf discs are back in stock, for now, they are only sold directly by Vibram and at the exorbitantly high price of $40 per disc. The worst thing about buying off of their website is that you can’t even choose the exact picture of the disc you will be getting. The unique designs of Vibram discs were one of the things that made their line so much fun. Vibram did this same thing about a year ago. A temporary release of some of their discs available only directly through their website.
For now, it looks like they are only doing limited runs of the most popular discs where they can make a quick and immediate profit. Perhaps one day they will get back into disc golf as a major distributor, but for now it looks like they are going with the stay rare and expensive approach.
The Lace and unLace were two of my favorite distance drivers of all time. The unLace was the first disc I was able to ever throw for more than 400 feet of distance. The Ridge was my putter of choice for some time and I still use a super soft Summit on hills and in precarious situations where you want to make sure your discs don’t skip and roll away.
I love Vibram, but have since found replacements for the molds I regularily threw. It’s exciting to see them live on, but for me, it’s not worth $40 per disc.
