What Disc Golfers Are Buying This Week (Jan 24, 2026): The Quiet Rise of the Mako 3

Top-ranked discs on Saturday January 24, 2026

The headline act, according to the latest DiscList rankings based on weekly sales data, is wonderfully boring in the best possible way. The Discraft Buzzz OS sits at #1 again on Jan 24, 2026, making it nine weeks on the trot. That is not hype. That is habit.

People don’t buy the Buzzz OS because they want surprise and spontaneity. They buy it because it behaves. And when your mates are watching, you want your disc to be the adult in the room, even if you are not.

But the more interesting gossip happens a little lower down the guest list. The Innova Mako 3 climbs from #9 to #7 and picks up the “heating up” tag, which feels about right. It is the disc equivalent of ordering sparkling water halfway through the night. You are not admitting anything. You are simply making tomorrow easier.

Why does that matter? Because a straight-flying midrange is the quickest way to feel competent without changing your entire personality. The Mako 3 lets you pretend your form is tidy. Sometimes, frankly, that is all we need.

There is also a small but telling reshuffle in the upper tier: the Kastaplast Berg X drops two spots to #9 while the rest of the top six stays perfectly still. The Berg X is a cult item, and cult items wobble when people start overthinking. Minimal glide is a lovely philosophy until you are faced with a tricky upshot and you fancy a bit of drama. Some weeks, buyers want a disc that lands like a beanbag. Other weeks, they want something that at least attempts heroism.

Quiet consistency is still the dominant mood. Axiom’s Crave holds #2, the Hex holds #3, Innova’s Destroyer holds #4, then the Pixel at #5 and MVP’s Glitch at #6. It reads like a shopping list written by someone who has finally stopped tinkering and started scoring. Sensible discs do not make for spicy forum posts, but they do make for fewer double bogeys.

Still, one disc does kick the door with a bit of swagger. The Discraft Zone SS climbs three places to #13. That is not an accident. When players feel a course getting tighter, or conditions getting scrappier, they buy reliability with a strong jawline. A beefy approach disc is basically a seatbelt you can throw. You might not need it every hole, but you feel clever owning it.

The rest of the top 15 offers its own little tells. The Leopard 3 edges up to #12, which suggests a steady stream of people choosing control and easy distance over brute-force speed. The Envy slides from #12 to #14, and the Luna dips to #15. Putters are emotional purchases, and emotions are fickle.

Outside the spotlight, the week’s most dramatic leap is Doomsday’s Cataclysm, up 453 places to #197. That is the kind of move that usually means one thing: people talked, someone tried it, and a few friends copied. The MVP Particle also rockets up 423 places to #174, which smells like the same social contagion in a different shape.

Next Friday will tell us whether this week’s sensible mood holds, or whether everyone goes back to buying discs with names that sound like heavy metal albums. Either way, I’ll be here with the tea and the gossip.
