- DiscMill — May 18, 2026
1. Daily Summary
- Prodigy's NERF Soft Flight line is the biggest product news of the cycle with 4 new PDGA-approved foam discs via Hasbro partnership. Dealer stock landed May 11; public release is May 28. First-look review and reel opportunity is happening right now.
- Discraft's Chris Dickerson Signature Roost CT Swirl drops online May 22. Pre-drop hype content this week is a strong move.
- MVP's 4th release of 2026 dropped May 16: fresh Proton Tesla, Reactor, Soft Proxy, and SE Neutron Stasis with triple-foil stamps on OTB Open runs.
- Innova DX Firefly released May 15 (dealer date). DX plastic, beginner-friendly utility disc with a notable review reel on Instagram.
- Gateway Disc Sports released 3 new putter molds May 16: Warlock (3S Hemp, Baked Potato stamp) plus two additional molds. Carried by Foundation Discs.
- Today's news cycle (May 18) is quiet on new releases. Disc golf internet is dominated by the PGA Championship results (Aaron Rai won his first major; McIlroy had a fan incident Sunday).
- No major new mold announcements for today specifically. Brands are in a post-mid-May-announcement quiet period.
- DG Puttheads updated flight charts with all 2025 new releases (Fox vs. Malita comparison post going strong). DGA Tour Series limited-run swirls still worth tracking for restocks.
- Prodigy-Hasbro NERF Soft Flight is the highest-collaboration-profile launch since the Prodigy-Nerf tie-up was first announced.

No fresh prototype sightings or credible leaks in the last 24 hours.
7. Flight Number Corrections or Contradictions
No corrections or contradictions reported in the last 24 hours. DG Puttheads updated their full flight chart system with 2025 releases. Worth reviewing if DiscMill's catalog flight numbers need cross-checking against their database.
