Aotearoa Golf Discs -- based out of New Zealand and one of many disc sports companies that are now popping up outside of the United States. Aotearoa is a Maori word that means "land of the long white cloud". It originally referred to the Great Barrier Island, but is now synonymous with New Zealand as an entire country.

Disc Golf Aotearoa has taken both an “old school” and “new school” approach to their first golf discs. The old school discs are similar to some popular, but now discontinued or hard to find discs; the new school discs are made from some spectacular materials and resemble some of the new generation of distance drivers. All discs are PDGA approved.

 

Aotearoa Raptor

The Raptor is an understable flyer designed for new players or players with low power. Skilled players will find the Raptor is an excellent long distance roller. The Raptor is currently available in the durable and grip-friendly Ultra™ plastic, similar to Innova’s Star or Discraft’s ESP materials. Available from 170-172g

Aotearoa Raptor-X

Made with the translucent, grippy, super resilient Atomic™ material, the Raptor-X features a flatter top and different wing configuration (due to the molding process) than the Raptor. It flies long and straight and has a predictable finish. It’s perfect for big arms and can handle windy conditions. Available from 170-174g


Aotearoa Rippa

The Rippa is similar to an old Wham-O classic, the 71 Mold. The slightly oversized putt and approach disc has a tall profile and flat top. Perfectly understable at approach speeds, the Rippa will “hover” and “float” towards the basket at low speeds. It's made with a standard type “chalky” matted plastic that is excellent for putters. Available from 177-187g

Gateway Spirit

Another blast from the past, the Te Moko is a large diameter, tall profile mid-range control driver a la the Zephyr. Great for pinpoint accuracy or as a warm-up driver. Te Moko is Maori for “mask” and the discs feature unique tribal mask designs. Available from 185-190g.
