Dynamic Discs Plastic Types Explained
Lucid
Lucid is Dynamic Discs' flagship premium plastic — translucent, extremely durable, and built to maintain flight characteristics through heavy use. It's the plastic most players reach for when they want a disc that lasts. Lucid tends to fly slightly more overstable than Fuzion in the same mold, making it a great choice for players who want their discs to hold stability longer. Popular DD discs in Lucid include the Raider, Escape, and Judge.
Best for: Drivers and midranges you throw hard and often. The go-to when you want maximum durability and consistent stability.
Shop Lucid →Fuzion
Fuzion is Dynamic Discs' grippiest premium plastic. It shares the durability of Lucid but with an opaque, slightly softer feel that many players prefer for its hand comfort. Fuzion tends to fly a touch less overstable than Lucid in the same mold, which some players like for workability. It's the premium plastic to choose when grip is your top priority — especially in cold or wet conditions.
Best for: Players who want premium durability with maximum grip. Great for all disc types, especially in cold or wet weather.
Shop Fuzion →Prime
Prime is Dynamic Discs' baseline plastic — affordable, grippy, and designed to break in over time. It's the equivalent of Innova's DX or Discraft's Jawbreaker. New Prime discs fly close to their listed flight numbers, then gradually become more understable as they season. This makes Prime ideal for putters (where grip matters most) and for players who want a cheaper way to try new molds before committing to premium plastic.
Best for: Putting putters, budget-friendly discs, and trying new molds before buying premium. The go-to for the Judge putting putter.
Shop Prime →Classic
Classic is Dynamic Discs' putter-specific baseline plastic. It's firmer and stiffer than Prime, which many spin putters prefer for a more consistent release. Classic comes in several variants: Classic (standard firm), Classic Soft (flexible, chain-grabbing), and Classic Super Soft (maximum softness and grip). The firmness options let you dial in exactly the feel you want inside the circle.
Best for: Dedicated putting plastic. Choose your firmness: Classic for firm releases, Soft for flex, Super Soft for maximum grip.
Shop Classic →Moonshine
Moonshine is Dynamic Discs' glow plastic. It shares the durability characteristics of Lucid plastic but with a glow core that charges under light and stays visible for night rounds. Moonshine tends to fly slightly more overstable than standard Lucid, which gives your glow discs a more reliable, fade-forward flight. It's one of the better glow plastics on the market — not quite Eclipse-level brightness, but very solid.
Best for: Night rounds, glow leagues, and players who want Lucid-level durability with glow visibility.
Shop Moonshine →Fluid
Fluid is Dynamic Discs' flexible premium plastic. It has a rubbery, pliable feel that gives you exceptional grip and a softer landing on approaches. Fluid discs tend to sit and stick rather than skip, making them excellent for approach shots and forehand flicks where you want the disc to park. The flexibility also makes it comfortable in cold weather when stiffer plastics feel like bricks.
Best for: Approach discs, cold weather throws, and any shot where you want the disc to sit instead of skip.
Shop Fluid →Lucid Air
Lucid Air takes the durability of standard Lucid and adds microbubbles to reduce weight — producing discs in the 155-165g range. Lighter discs are easier to get up to speed, which means more glide and distance with less effort. Lucid Air discs feel full-sized in the hand, not thin or flimsy. This is Dynamic Discs' answer to Innova's Blizzard Champion and MVP's Fission — lightweight premium plastic for beginners and slower arm speeds.
Best for: Beginners, slower arm speeds, tailwind shots, and maximizing distance with less effort.
Shop Lucid Air →BioFuzion
BioFuzion is Dynamic Discs' eco-friendly plastic option. It maintains the performance characteristics of Fuzion — good grip, solid durability, consistent flight — while being made from more sustainable materials. It's a premium-feel plastic with an environmental conscience. Flight and feel are comparable to standard Fuzion with a slightly different texture.
Best for: Eco-conscious players who want premium performance without the environmental guilt. Plays like Fuzion.
