Aztec

The Infinite Discs Aztec is a stable 10-speed distance driver rated 10/5/-1/2 — a straight, easy-to-reach driver at the slow end of the distance class.

One turn against two fade is a gentle flight. With real speed it holds a straight line, drifts slightly right, and finishes with a soft fade rather than a hook. Infinite’s reviewer averages, from more than a hundred reviews, land at 10.1/5/-1.2/1.9 — the rating, with a shade more turn. Slower arms get the most out of it: 10 speed doesn’t need a big release to reach its glide, and Infinite points to its slimmer rim as more comfortable for most hands. Big arms will turn it over, particularly in G-Blend, which Infinite says “flies like a longer Sphinx — flipping up easily and finishing with a soft fade.”

In a bag it’s the step up from a control driver rather than a bomber. Infinite pitches it as a longer-flying equivalent of the Exodus or Dynasty, and OTB Discs describes it as a slightly straighter, faster Thunderbird. Infinite files it as a distance driver while Marshall Street and OTB both list it as a control driver, which is a fair picture of where it lives. What it won’t do is hold a hard line into a headwind or finish reliably on a big hyzer — that’s the Emperor‘s job.

The name comes from the group Infinite reserves for the civilizations of the Americas, alongside the Maya and the Inca; Infinite describes them as “renowned for their military prowess, impressive architecture, and the complex social structure.” The Aztecs ruled from Tenochtitlan, in the Valley of Mexico.

PDGA approved in September 2019. Like every Infinite mold it’s made by Innova, and it ships in I-Blend, S-Blend (Infinite’s equivalent of Star), C-Blend (comparable to Champion) and G-Blend (comparable to GStar), plus glow, halo, swirly and metal-flake runs.
