We are proud to introduce our two latest disc models: The P3 and the MD3. The P3 is somewhat of a hybrid between a putter and a midrange, a stable and dependable flyer that cuts through the wind and fades reliably to the basket. The P3?s best weapon is it’s versatility – it’s an awesome flyer off the tee and a great disc for putting too. For the fans of fade-in putters out there this disc is a must try.
For this release we also really wanted to hear out what our fans had to say about the stamp design. Many of you guys have been requesting us to run the minimal and simplistic type of stamp we used to do back when we got started. For P3 we re-designed the D-line stamp and skipped the extra name we’ve used in most of our latest models. The disc itself is currently available with two stamps: The regular production stamp is available throughout Europe and theDiscmania First Run stamp is the one currently available in the US.
This first release of the D-P3 comes with sort of a prototype configuration.
We are proud to present an all-new Disc Golf medium: TheSpinTV.com. It is a broadcasting channel of everything Disc Golf related in the highest order. The SpinTV will offer its viewers a weekly dose of Disc Golf goodness in the form of state-of-the-art videos. But quite frankly, the SpinTV is much more than that.
“The SpinTV is what the sport of Disc Golf has been lacking. The sport itself is wonderful in many aspects, but we need find ways to promote it so that it’s credible to the mainstream media. We wanted to develop the pinnacle Disc Golf medium out there and I think we’ve done a good job doing so. If you have a friend who doesn’t know anything about Disc Golf, this is the site you should show him.”
-SpinTV co-founder Jussi Meresmaa.
The SpinTV team consists of reputable Disc Golf promoters, players and inventors.

Essentially, it’s a stick that uses leverage to help you fling disc golf discs with minimal effort. When I saw it, my initial thought was that it would be pretty difficult to actually throw discs accurately using this thing, but it is definitely something I want to try out.
When I was a kid I had a toy for launching snow balls. It was a stick with a cup at the end. Put a snow ball in the cup, swing the stick, and watch the snow ball fly farther than I could ordinarily throw. It was a lot of fun throwing snow balls with this thing, but for actual snow ball fights, it just wasn’t very accurate — especially for short range throws. I imagine flinging discs with the Folf Club will be pretty similar.
If the Folf Club actually is easy to use, then this could help take the sport to a new level.
Half the fun of disc golf is watching discs fly, and fly, and fly. If you can make a golf disc fly farther, why not?
If you want to see the Folf Club become a reality, here’s more details about how to help fund the project.

It’s been a big year for the release of new golf discs in 2013. Nearly all the major disc manufacturers have come up with new drivers, putters, and a plethora of mid range discs. If you comprised your bag of strictly newly released 2013 discs, you’d have nearly 30 discs in that bag.
For those just getting into disc golf mode after a long cold winter, here is a summary of the new discs released in 2013.
I was extremely excited to hear my favorite disc company, Vibram, was holding their own take on a tournament this year called a Birdie Bash. There was an event set in Kalamazoo and I knew I had to be there…
While Innova Champion Discs certainly has its fair share of high speed drivers, the latest high speed release has been turning heads. The Innova Tern was first announced in late 2012 and charged onto the scene earlier this year.
My life as an International Disc Golf Celebrity means corporate getting emails like this:
Hi Greg
Does Hawk have a passport and a kilt?
I carry a high Vibram NutSac percentage 
We open in a few weeks, ReBoot Disc Golf Course @Foxlake, Dunbar, Scotland.
Peace
Seamus Scanlon
Now we all get our fair share of spam, however this one didn’t actually mention a Nigerian prince and a wire transfer of funds. Once Greg forwarded the email to me I was intrigued by such an invitation from the homeland, and needed to know more about Seamus.

May of 2013 looks to be an exciting month for Bachnein. If you’ve seen us in person, you know we have a few new items this season. If you know us through Instagram or Twitter, than you may just be finding out about our new Dri Fit shirt and the Throw Local t-shirts.
In just about a week, Bachnein will be at the Sap Bucket Open in Waterbury, Vermont. If you’re not familiar with the Sap Bucket, it’s notable for a few reasons. Not only do you get some classic northern New England disc golf, but it happens to be brought to you by the Alchemist Brewery, maker of Beer Advocate’s Top Beer, Heady Topper. As if that’s not enough, the Sap Bucket is part of the Green Mountain Point Series, which is sponsored by Three Penny Taproom, a beer bar rated as World Class by Beer Advocate and the always fabulous and super authentic Mad Taco.
What we’re trying to say is that Bachnein is happy to be a part of it.
Later in the month we’ll make an appearance in far northern Vermont at the very cool Black Falls in Montgomery, Vermont. If you’re looking for a reason to come visit our fair state, check out what they have to offer. Disc Golf Course Review happens to rate the course a very impressive 4.61. Plus, it’s a course that’s gotten much nicer in the past 12 months. Some come check it out.
In the meantime, Throw Local.

I played the Auburn Am recently and had a really good time. I scored the best round of golf so far at 9 under par. I had been 9 under once before at the same course but this was by far my strongest showing at an event. I did not perform as well for the rest of the event – I was surprised how well I did in the first round and tried a little too hard to match it. Time to have two really good rounds in one event.
I really like the events hosted by the Chain Zombies in Auburn, Ca. They almost always start on time. The players meetings are no nonsense and concise. They have well organized side events like CTP’s and mini-disc-golf – though I don’t personally play them. They almost always provide lunch and this year the sandwiches were delicious and exactly what I needed. They had a couple beer options for breaks – I had one but kind of wish I hadn’t as I lost some focus and energy.
The only complaint I have is that they allowed in too many players and had two ghost groups. I can’t recall the Zombies having this all too common problem before but it was a bit of a drag. My worst hole was 16, round three, when I hit the earliest tree, careened off another tree, and got buried in thorny brambles. I had to take an unplayable lie and re-tee. I had waited at least 20 minutes to tee. There were at least 15 golfers and their caddies watching my fumble. I’m not saying the wait caused the fumble but having an audience at that moment was unpleasant.
The wait did give me a few moments to think about the topic of this blog and the opportunity to ask some of my fellow competitors what they thought about having or being a caddie. I had been thinking about this since the Master’s Cup a few weeks prior, largely because of a comment my buddy Armando made, “I’ve decided I just can’t play with a caddie.” Here are Armando’s Pros and Cons of having a caddie from the Master’s Cup Amateur Weekend in Santa Cruz:
See the rest of Armando’s Pros and Cons with some further thought on having and being a caddie here.
I approached the Wisconsin Department of Tourism about doing an article on disc golf in Wisconsin. We have such an abundance of courses in our state and a ton of diversity. We have courses at municipal parks, campgrounds, ski hills, golf courses, YMCA camps, Private camps, Adventure Parks, etc etc etc I just felt it would be a good way to introduce a lot of people who may not know how accessible disc golf is to give the sport a try. They agreed with me and here is the finished product . . . Click Here!
