The Infinite Discs Emperor is a 12-speed slightly overstable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 12 / 5 / -1 / 2.5, it is most often described as suited for long controlled drives that flex from anhyzer back to a soft fade, power hyzer bombs on open holes.

Overview

The Infinite Discs Emperor is a 12-speed power distance driver rated 12/5/-1/2.5 by Infinite.[2][3] It combines a fast 2.3 cm rim with a workable high-speed turn and a dependable finishing fade, which puts it in the same design space as the Innova Destroyer while running slightly less aggressive at the end of flight.[2][4] The PDGA records it at 21.1 cm diameter, 1.7 cm height, 1.2 cm rim depth and a 175.1 g maximum weight — note the sub-176 g ceiling, which is lower than most 12-speed drivers.[1]

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

The Emperor rewards players who already have the arm speed to get a 12-speed up to flat. Its -1 turn makes it a natural flex driver — release on anhyzer, let it flex back, and take a soft fade at the end — and it works equally well as a power hyzer bomb on open holes.[2][3] Reviewers describe it as glide-friendly in the softer I-Blend and increasingly wind-resistant in C-Blend and Luster, so the same mold can be tuned to arm speed by plastic choice.[2] It is not a beginner disc.

Best for:

  • Long controlled drives that flex from anhyzer back to a soft fade
  • Power hyzer bombs on open holes
  • Distance in moderate wind without a hard left finish
  • A more consistent run-to-run alternative to a Destroyer

Plastics & variants

The Emperor is available in the following plastic blends from Infinite Discs:[2]

I-Blend, G-Blend, S-Blend, C-Blend, Luster C-Blend, Halo C-Blend

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

The PDGA approved the Emperor on 17 February 2019 under certification number 19-17, registered to Infinite Discs.[1] Infinite Discs is a retailer-turned-manufacturer whose molds are produced by partner factories, and the Emperor sits at the top of its distance-driver line alongside the Egyptian-themed naming Infinite uses across its range.[2] The disc is offered across Infinite's full plastic ladder — the grippy base I-Blend and G-Blend, mid-tier S-Blend, and the premium C-Blend with Luster and Halo variants — which materially shifts effective stability between runs.[2] Reviewers commonly frame it as a Destroyer-class driver with better run-to-run consistency and a slightly softer finish.[3][4] Sources vary on the fade rating, with Infinite listing 2.5 and some retailers rounding to 2.[2][5]
