![]() ![]() One of the hottest discs in the next wave was the Mini Nuke because of its sharp-edged design and overstability, making it easy to throw for impressive, high-speed distances. Since the Mini Buzzz, Discraft has pushed relentlessly to release new, throwable, miniature versions of their other popular molds. ![]() Demand soared, almost faster than Discraft could keep up for the first few months. In fact, one of our Infinite Discs associates managed to hit a 250 foot ace on one of his first Mini Buzzz throws. But almost immediately the word got out that they actually fly very well, with some players throwing them consistently over 200 feet and even up to 300 feet. Mostly collectors and Buzzz fans snagged the first run, which became very valuable very quickly. The Mini Buzzz has since been released in other plastics, including with the Big Z design, a limited Jawbreaker edition, limited Z Dyed Ledgestone edition, and a full-color Supercolor edition. ![]() It was initially released in Elite Z plastic with the same stamp design as the regular-sized Elite Z Buzzz, including the misleading text “PDGA Approved” (which obviously, the mini Buzzz itself is not PDGA approved). Players are loving larger mini discs that are made to throw at respectable distances, rather than just marking a lie.ĭiscraft was the innovator with the Mini Buzzz, a smaller replica mold of the popular mid-range disc. Small, novelty baskets were made for mini markers and mini rounds have been played as a matter of entertainment novelty.īut now, with the hugely successful release of the Mini Buzzz in 2016, the “macro” trend has lifted into high gear. There has been a collectible element to mini markers as well, since they have sentimental or stamp value when tied to a special event, or there are people who are fans of certain brands and want to collect related minis. There has always been a small market for mini marker discs, since they are used in tournaments to mark a disc’s lie. There is a very new trend within the disc golf market that I don’t believe many people saw coming. ![]()
