The Infinite Discs Pharaoh is a 13-speed stable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 13 / 6 / -1 / 2, it is most often described as suited for maximum-distance drives from an open tee pad, long, sweeping s-curve lines for power arms.

Overview

The Infinite Discs Pharaoh is a speed-13 distance driver rated 13/6/-1/2 by Infinite Discs.[1] It pairs a 2.3 cm rim with a shallow 1.1 cm grip, giving power throwers a wide-rim bomber that still holds a workable line rather than dumping hard at the end.[5] Infinite calls it the brand's best-selling disc.[3] Crowd-sourced reviewer ratings on Infinite's own listing average 12.9/5.9/-1.3/1.9 across hundreds of votes, closely tracking the published numbers.[1] Stability does shift between production runs — Infinite documents this openly rather than hiding it.[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 Pharaoh is a full-power distance driver, not a control disc. It rewards arm speed with a long S-curve: a touch of turn out of the hand, a long flat glide phase, then a moderate fade.[1] Use it on wide-open tee shots, downhill bombs, and forehand drives where you want distance without a hard-finishing meathook. Players without the speed to turn a 13-speed over will find it flies overstable and short; a Pharaoh is a bad first driver.[5]

Best for:

  • Maximum-distance drives from an open tee pad
  • Long, sweeping S-curve lines for power arms
  • Downhill bombs where a little turn extends the flight
  • Forehand distance shots that need a dependable finish

Plastics & variants

The Pharaoh is available in the following plastic blends from Infinite Discs:[1]

I-Blend, S-Blend, Swirly S-Blend, Splatter S-Blend, G-Blend, Metal Flake C-Blend, Luster C-Blend, Halo S-Blend, Halo I-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 Pharaoh was PDGA approved on 2 February 2018.[5] Infinite Discs' own launch blog dates the approval to 26 February 2018 — the PDGA record is authoritative, but the discrepancy is worth noting.[2] The first run of 800 discs shipped on 30 March 2018 in Swirly S-Blend, with 100 of them stamped as a Garrett Gurthie signature edition; Infinite published footage of Gurthie throwing the mold over 600 feet and said he planned to bag it for the 2018 season.[2] It was the first distance driver in the Infinite Discs house brand and the third disc in the line overall, after the Exodus fairway driver and the Chariot midrange.[2][6] Infinite Discs branded molds are manufactured by Innova Champion Discs in the United States.[4][6] Infinite stamps a run number and run quantity on every disc and publishes a run-by-run history — Run 3 in I-Blend flew more understable at 13/6/-2/2, while Run 5 in Swirly S-Blend came out more overstable than any run before it.[1][3]
