Community-built · Synced weekly with the PDGA

Every disc.
Every number.
One database.

The Disc Database is an open record of disc golf equipment — PDGA approvals, physical specs, plastics, and flight numbers for 2,300+ discs from over 200 manufacturers. Sourced from official PDGA records, enriched by contributors, checked by moderators, and served through a modern API.

What's inside

A complete record for every disc

Not just flight numbers on a card. Each disc in the database is a structured, connected record — from the mold's PDGA approval down to the millimeters of its rim.

diameter · 21.2 cmheightrim depthrim thicknessflight plate

Physical specs recorded exactly as the PDGA certifies them.

Flight numbers

Speed, glide, turn, and fade — the four numbers that tell you how a disc flies, maintained by contributors and growing mold by mold.

Physical specifications

Diameter, height, rim depth, rim thickness, max weight, and flexibility — measured the way the PDGA certifies them.

Plastics & variants

Every blend a mold ships in, plus distinct runs and editions — because a Champion and a GStar are not the same disc.

PDGA certification

Approval dates and certification numbers straight from official PDGA records, re-synced every week.

Disc classes

Putt & approach, midrange, fairway, and distance drivers — organized so the right disc is easy to find.

Manufacturer profiles

Over 200 manufacturers and distributors from official PDGA records — the who behind every mold in the catalog, linked to their discs and plastics.

Join the crew

Built by players.
Checked by moderators.

Nobody knows discs like the people who throw them. Contributors keep the database honest and complete — and a moderation workflow keeps every change accountable. Nothing is auto-published, and no data is ever invented.

  1. 1

    Spot a gap

    A missing mold, a stale flight number, a new plastic that just dropped — you notice it on the course before anyone else.

  2. 2

    Submit the change

    Propose a new disc or a correction in seconds. Your edit goes into a review queue, never straight to production.

  3. 3

    Review it together

    Moderators and fellow contributors discuss your submission right on the record, with PDGA sources as the tiebreaker.

  4. 4

    It goes live everywhere

    Once a moderator approves your submission and applies it, the change is live in the database — and in every app built on the API.

Berg definitely finishes harder than a 1. Manufacturer page agrees.

For developers

The data layer for your next disc golf app

Everything the community builds is served through a clean, read-only JSON:API. Skip the scraping and the spreadsheets — build your bag builder, caddy app, or stats tracker on data that's maintained for you.

JSON:API standard
Predictable resources with filtering, sorting, pagination, and relationship includes — discs, manufacturers, plastics, and flight data all connect.
Scoped tokens
Bearer tokens with per-resource read scopes, so your integration only touches the data it needs.
Incremental sync
A last-updated cursor lets you pull only the records that changed since your last fetch — no full re-downloads.
Clear rate limits
A flat 60 requests per minute for every token — plenty for hobby apps, and predictable enough to build against.
