The DGA Signature Line BlowFly 1 is a uniquely designed, overstable putt and approach disc created for players who value grip, flexibility and ground‑sticking control. Made from a distinctive rubber blend instead of traditional disc golf plastics, the BlowFly 1 offers exceptional softness, confidence‑boosting feel and a markedly reduced tendency to skip or roll on impact. Its unusual material properties make it highly popular both on the course and in educational or beginner‑friendly environments.

Fun Fact

Signature Line Plastic
DGA Signature Line plastic is known for its one of a kind rubber like blend and exceptional plastic memory. DGA Signature Line discs are mostly for putt and approach purposes but fly excellent off the tee as well. It is safe to say you will not find another line of discs out there with the same feel, flexibility, and catchability.

DGA was established in 1976 by Ed Headrick to form a new international sport and promote the installation and use of disc golf courses around the world. Ed coined and trademarked the term “Disc Golf” and envisioned a game that would explode in popularity. “Steady” Ed traveled around the country to install courses, recruit players, and add members to the Professional Disc Golf Association, a new disc golf association he created to establish the rules of the game.
