RPM is our brand of the week, and if you haven’t tried these discs yet, you’re in for a treat! RPM hails from the far side of the globe—New Zealand, to be exact. They are the only disc manufacturer from the Southern Hemisphere, and their discs are often described as having a unique, “real” plastic feel—unlike anything you’ve tossed before. If you want to impress your buddies at the local course, RPM’s plastic blends are world-class. Think of them as the gourmet delicacy of disc golf plastics.
RPM takes its inspiration from Maori culture, with every disc featuring artwork and indigenous names that carry real weight and significance. It’s like having a piece of New Zealand’s heritage flying through the air with every throw!
Making New Zealand the Place to Be for Disc Golf
RPM is doing more than just making amazing discs—they’re also turning New Zealand into a disc golf winter wonderland. While the Northern Hemisphere is bundled up in snow, RPM wants you to pack your bags and head south to enjoy some warm-weather disc golf. They sponsor numerous tournaments, including the prestigious NZDG North Island Champs, and are working tirelessly to elevate New Zealand as a go-to destination for global disc golf travelers. Imagine working on your backhand while basking in the Kiwi sun in January—paradise, right?
Simon Feasey: The Legend Behind RPM
RPM’s owner, Simon Feasey, is no slouch in the world of disc golf either. This guy recently placed second in the 55+ division at the Disc Golf World Championships—no small feat! Not only is he one of the best masters players on the planet, but he’s also helping to steer RPM into the hearts of disc golfers worldwide. Feasey has also worked with well-known names like Drew Gibson and Eric Oakley, further proving that RPMs international brand presence.

Now, let’s get to the fun part: the discs themselves. RPM has a range of discs that can satisfy every kind of player, from putters to midranges to drivers. These are the best selling RPM discs:
- Piwakawaka (Midrange): This little beauty is known for its laser-straight flight, perfect for threading those tight fairways. Named after the New Zealand fantail bird, the Piwakawaka flies as gracefully as its namesake.
- Pekapeka (Fairway Driver): Need a disc that flutters effortlessly through the air? The Pekapeka, named after the native bat, is a flippy fairway driver perfect for turnover shots and rollers. It’s so sneaky it might just bat its way right into your heart.
- Kotuku (Midrange): Named after the elegant white heron, the Kotuku is your go-to for smooth glides and precision approaches. Grace and accuracy all in one disc.
- Tui (Putter): The Tui is like your trusty sidekick—reliable and always ready to get the job done. It’s a straight-flying putter with a slight fade that makes it great for approaches and long putts alike.
- Takapu (Putter): If you like a putter with a little more stability, the Takapu is the one for you. It will hold its line like a champ, giving you confidence from the tee or the green.
- Tara Iti (Distance Driver): Named after a rare New Zealand bird, this disc flies as majestically as its namesake soars. The Tara Iti is a high-speed driver that will leave your competitors scrambling to catch up.
- Kotare (Distance Driver): Another feathered friend in the RPM lineup, the Kotare, a bird of prey, soars through the sky with power and grace. It’s perfect for windy conditions and big hyzer bombs.
- Ruru (Putter): The Ruru, named after the native owl, is a popular putter with great feel in the hand. It’s got that comfortable, dependable flight path you want when sinking those clutch putts.
- Kea (Midrange): Like the cheeky alpine parrot it’s named after, the Kea is great for all-around play. It’s versatile enough to handle anything you throw at it—literally.
- Kahu (Distance Driver): Last but not least, the Kahu is RPM’s max distance driver. If you want to throw bombs, the Kahu is your go-to. It’s fast, overstable, and ready to bring the thunder.
