What does ABC stand for?
When Dan Pastore founded ABC Discs, he wasn’t trying to compete with the industry giants or chase flashy marketing trends. His goal was simple: to give everyday disc golfers a better choice.
That’s exactly what the “ABC” in ABC Discs stands for — A Better Choice.
It wasn’t just a clever acronym. It was a philosophy.
🥏 Practical Discs Made for Real Players
Dan didn’t have a factory or a full-time team. He worked with a local injection molding company and ran ABC Discs out of his own home. His dream wasn’t about mass production — it was about practical, dependable discs that players could count on, whether they were stepping up to a tournament tee or enjoying a weekend round with friends.
Every mold in the ABC Discs lineup was designed with this in mind:
-
Discs that feel good in the hand.
-
Flights that are honest and consistent.
-
Plastics that offer the right balance of grip, durability, and value.
He wasn’t trying to reinvent the flight chart — he was giving players trustworthy tools to shape their game.
💬 “A Better Choice” Isn’t About Flash — It’s About Fit
While other brands pushed out ever-changing molds and buzzwords, ABC Discs stuck to a small lineup of proven discs:
-
The BeeLine — a high-speed driver with exceptional glide and versatility.
-
The Money Putter — a chain-grabbing classic that works just as well for short approaches as it does inside the circle.
-
The Flying Squirrel — a glidey, understable midrange that floats through tight woods.
-
The Secret Weapon — a beginner-friendly driver that holds hyzer flips and turnover lines with ease.
-
The Mission — a dependable straight flyer for technical midrange shots.
-
The now-retired Gamma Ray — a smooth-flying fairway driver that earned cult status before going out of production.
These weren’t gimmicks — they were honest discs that worked. Dan believed every player, from new throwers to seasoned competitors, deserved discs that gave them confidence and clarity.
🙏 A Legacy That Lives On
After Dan’s tragic passing, ABC Discs could have faded quietly into disc golf history. But his family, and those who believed in his vision, wanted something different.
Today, we continue to offer ABC Discs not as a mass-market brand, but as a tribute to a man who loved disc golf and the people who played it. Every disc we produce supports Dan’s family and helps keep his dream alive.
So when you throw an ABC disc, you’re not just supporting a small brand — you’re honoring the legacy of a disc golfer who believed that every player deserves A Better Choice.
