Crosslap Discs – German Precision Meets Disc Golf Obscurity
Crosslap Discs is a lesser-known disc golf brand hailing from Germany—the land of bratwurst, fast cars, and Simon Lizotte’s birthplace (though we’re pretty sure Simon didn’t help design these). Proudly made in Germany, Crosslap Discs brings a dose of European engineering to the disc golf scene… even if most American players have never heard of them.
A Brief Personal Encounter with Crosslap
My first introduction to Crosslap Discs was way back in 2011 when my buddy Dylan started throwing a putter called the Credo for basically every shot on the B tees of our local course. He bought it from an online shop (shoutout to Altitude Disc Golf) and swore it was the best approach disc ever. And honestly, he wasn’t wrong—the Credo is super reliable and surprisingly comfy in hand.
But let’s be real: outside of Dylan, I’ve never seen another person throw a Crosslap disc on a course. They’ve always stayed under the radar in the U.S., which is a shame because they actually have a couple decent molds.
What’s in the Crosslap Lineup?
Currently, Crosslap Discs has 6 molds available in the U.S. market:
- Credo – A flat-topped, overstable approach putter that’s surprisingly dependable.
- Lucky – An understable midrange with some sneaky glide—actually quite fun to throw.
- Vigil – A fairway driver with the most uncomfortable rim in the game. Unless you’re into sharp inner beading that stabs your hand, skip this one.
- Shadowplay – A very understable putter great for soft turnovers and touchy flicks.
- Openwater – Is this suggesting it’s a driver you should throw when you don’t want to lose your favorite discs?
- Company – The Crosslap Company is an overstable distance driver so beefy it should come with a passport and a bratwurst.
Is Crosslap Worth Throwing?
If you’re curious, loyal to German-made goods, or just want to throw something no one else at your course has ever seen, this is your week. Crosslap Discs are 50% off right now as part of our Brand of the Week spotlight. It’s the perfect excuse to try something new—or maybe just get a Credo and feel like Dylan for a round or two. And for a little over $5 a disc, for PREMIUM plastic, you can’t go wrong trying these cheap discs, even if you decide that their best use is to throw on those dangerous over-the-water holes.
Pro tip: Don’t start with the Vigil unless your hand has a callus named “Regret.” Start with the Credo or Lucky, and you might find a surprise keeper from one of disc golf’s most elusive brands.
