The Infinite Discs Slab is a 12-speed very overstable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 12 / 3 / 0 / 4, it is most often described as suited for spike hyzers that need to drop and stay, full-power forehand utility shots.

Overview

The Infinite Discs Slab is a flat-topped, very overstable speed-12 driver that Infinite deliberately files as a utility disc rather than a distance driver.[2] Infinite’s own copy is blunt about the trade-off: “While it is classified as a ‘distance driver’ the reality is that most players will not be able to get much distance out of it. This disc is designed for utility shots and a consistent fade in all conditions. The Slab is as overstable as they get in disc golf.”[3] The PDGA measured it at 21.2cm across with a 2.3cm rim, a 1.6cm height and a 176.0g maximum — a wide, shallow, low-profile shape.[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 Slab is a power player’s utility driver. It is built for spike hyzers, full-power forehands, headwind drives and hard skip shots — anywhere a disc has to fade no matter how much power goes into it.[2][3] Infinite designed the first run with a very flat top “so that it would feel comfortable when used to slice through the air either with a powerful backhand or forehand release.”[2] It is not a distance disc for average arm speeds, and Infinite says so itself.[3]

Best for:

  • Spike hyzers that need to drop and stay
  • Full-power forehand utility shots
  • Headwind drives where anything else turns over
  • Hard fading skip shots around obstacles

Plastics & variants

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

C-Blend, Metal Flake C-Blend, C-Blend Glow, S-Blend, Swirly S-Blend, Halo S-Blend, I-Blend, Concrete

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 Slab was PDGA-approved on 21 June 2018 under certification 18-52 and released at retail on 3 August 2018 alongside the Anubis.[1][2] Infinite launched it in Metal Flake C-Blend, explaining that “such an overstable driver also deserves a notoriously overstable plastic blend.”[2] Infinite Discs molds are produced by Innova, which Infinite states directly elsewhere on its own blog: “We’ve been working with Innova, the manufacturer of the Infinite Discs line, to create a mold.”[2] Infinite describes the Slab as “essentially a flat top version of the Innova Max mold,” though the two carry separate certifications and differ measurably in height and rim configuration, so it is a Max-derived retooling rather than a rebadge.[3][1] The disc gained its nickname from Jeremy Koling’s play at the 2019 Waco Open, which prompted a “Concrete Slab” signature run whose stamp art Koling drew himself.[2] Sources disagree on speed: Infinite and most databases print 12, while Only The Best Discs consistently rates it 11.[4][5] Infinite has never published a designer credit, and no in-the-bag evidence for a touring professional was found.
