May 16, 2025 Golf Disc Rankings: Leopard3’s comeback and Destroyer’s steady siege

Top-ranked discs on Friday May 16, 2025

The Buzzz is still king, lounging at #1 like a golden retriever in the sun, completely unbothered by the frantic shuffling just beneath it. But while the top slot remains unchanged, it’s the story two spots down that’s got everyone’s eyebrows doing parkour.

Destroyer fans can put the confetti back on the shelf—just one more stair to climb. After weeks of inching, skirmishing, and borderline lobbying, Innova’s flagship driver is up to #2, rudely nudging the Hex down to #4. What’s driving this latest surge? Momentum, maybe. Or just a crush of players finally deciding they’d rather rip than finesse.

Speaking of reappearances, the Leopard3 pulled a classic comeback move this week, leaping 7 spots to #26 after a lengthy 7-week timeout. It’s the disc golf equivalent of seeing your high school ex at your favorite park—familiar, a little unpredictable, and weirdly exciting.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, the Berg muscles up to #3 (Scandinavians nodding smugly), while the Wraith continues its heat streak, climbing to #5 and whispering, “Remember me?” Discraft loyalists will notice the Zone settling in at #6 and Luna returning to the Top 10 at #10, even while the Glitch shivers with a slight cooling trend. Ah, thermodynamics in plastic form.

Outside the Top 10, there’s chatter around the Balance debuting at #55. An overstable mid from Axiom cracking the door open this high suggests it’s earned a few bag slots in Oceania, where it’s already top-ranked. Whoever said the midrange was boring clearly never had to shape lines through eucalyptus trees.

In the undercard drama, the Gorgon continues its mythological climb, vaulting 126 positions over 4 weeks to land at #32. Meanwhile, the Sidewinder clocks the biggest net gain of 131 spots from the depths of #164 to #33. It’s like watching budget stocks go tech-boom.

So what’s next? Could the Destroyer finally depose the Buzzz? Is the Gorgon eyeing Top 20? And what trick does the Crave have up its flippy sleeve? Better bag some popcorn.

See the full Top 40. Same time next Friday.
