The global Covid-19 pandemic triggered a major surge in disc golf’s popularity, and that growth has continued strongly into 2025. Courses are busier than ever, and with this boom in new players, major disc golf manufacturers like Innova and Discraft struggled to keep up with demand. This disc shortage opened the door for new manufacturers to rise in the disc golf market. In this article, we’ll look back at some of the notable new disc golf brands that first made waves in 2021 and have since become more established in the sport.
While some of these brands technically launched before 2021, the pandemic-fueled demand helped them gain traction and recognition in the disc golf world.
