If you notice a mold that is missing from the list that you think should be available, it’s probably because the tournament will be releasing that disc on its own. Without further delay, here is this year’s Disc Schedule, subject to change: We are extremely grateful to all of the vendors who have supported us over the years,” said Heinold. “All of the vendor support for these discs really helps make Ledgestone what it is. The Ledgestone fundraiser discs are one of the primary fundraising methods for the tournament. “A lot of these older discs have great markets, and sometimes releasing these older discs in limited runs (in a newer plastic) will reinvigorate fans of that disc, or bring new fans to certain discs,” continued Heinold. The idea behind running all of the molds in Discraft’s arsenal was because some of the most popular Ledgestone runs have been molds that don’t get run a lot. We also evaluate new molds as they come out,” said Heinold. We do some polls online and then gauge what has sold well in the past. “The process really starts with asking people what they want to see. Within a few days, 35 vendors had bought up all of the 2021 releases.Ĭoming up with the disc schedule is always a fun challenge for Ledgestone TD Nate Heinold. Production has already begun on the 2021 releases, and vendors gobbled up the discs at record paces. I didn’t full expect them to say yes to everything, but they were very open to what I was asking for and they got behind my idea.” Heinold then spent the next 6 weeks working on design ideas with the various designers, and that process is expected to finish up by the end of the year. ![]() After making a few minor adjustments to certain plastic combinations, Mike and Bob approved every single request. He then met with Mike and Bob in October at the Discraft factory and pitched his idea. ![]() He didn’t really ask what I needed the information for, but he probably suspected something was up,” finished Heinold. I went through the list of all of the molds that I thought could be available, and he cheerfully gave me the answers. “I honestly had never called Mike before because I just usually deal with Bob, so I had to get Mike’s number from someone. After weeks of working on ideas, he gave Mike Wanger, Discraft’s CEO, a quick phone call. The day before 2020 Ledgestone ended, I teased this idea to Bob Julio, Discraft’s golf manager, and he chuckled,” stated Heinold. ![]() But my next idea was to run one of every mold available, including the out of production molds. I knew that wasn’t going to work, because some molds are simply not available anymore. “After the 2020 event, I had a crazy idea to do a Ledgestone release for every single disc that Discraft has ever made. Obviously the biggest news in this release is that the event will do a limited release for every single mold that Discraft has available for production. ![]() This announcement is the 11 th and penultimate announcement in our Twelve Days of Ledgestone promotion. Infinite Discs will once again be the official vendor of the event and will have by far the largest selection of Ledgestone discs. The plan would call for approximate releases in February, April and June. These discs will be released over 3 different waves and the list is subject to change. This year we are releasing every single mold that Discraft has available. We are happy to announce the molds that will be released to vendors for the 2021 Ledgestone LE schedule.
