Discraft is a company founded by Jim Kenner and located in Wixom, Michigan. They are a manufacturer of flying discs for the sports of Ultimate, Disc Golf and Freestyle frisbee. The company does not have any retail stores, but rather sells large quantities of discs to resalers and wholesalers around the world.
Discraft's 175-gram Ultra-Star disc is the only official disc that is UPA Championship Series Approved by the Ultimate Players Association. Discs manufactured by Wham-O, Innova, and Daredevil Discs are approved for other uses.[1] It is worth noting that the differences between the discs are very minute, but most seasoned Ultimate players can tell the difference by touch alone when they pick up or catch something other than a Discraft 175-gram Ultra-Star.[citation needed]
Discraft sponsors a disc golf team called Team Discraft. Nate Doss, a member of the team, was the 2005 and 2007 disc golf world champion.[2]
