Why the Glitch Suddenly Reappeared in Everyone’s Bag (Feb 20, 2026)

Top-ranked discs on Friday February 20, 2026

Here’s what I like about this week’s numbers. They feel human. According to the latest DiscList rankings, based on DiscList weekly sales data for Feb 20, 2026, we’re not watching a single disc dominate so much as we’re watching golfers soothe their anxieties in very predictable ways.

The Buzzz stays at #1 for the 18th week running. That’s not excitement, that’s reassurance. If discs had personalities, the Buzzz would be the mate who turns up on time, pays their round, and never suggests playing safari doubles in a hailstorm. People buy it because it reduces regret. And regret, in disc golf, is heavier than any plastic.

The week’s proper plot twist is the MVP Glitch launching from #20 to #10. Ten places in one hop. That’s the sort of move you get when a product lives in two categories at once: it’s a putter, but it’s also a permission slip to mess about, practise touch, and call it training. It’s low speed, high glide, and high smugness. You can throw it in the park, film it, and feel like a better person by lunchtime.

While the Glitch plays the charming rebel, Innova’s grown-up discs have been quietly doing the hard yards. The Wraith surges from #5 to #3, and the Teebird 3 rockets from #8 to #4. Short sentence. That is a lot of trust shifting towards predictable stability.

Why now? Because when players feel their form wobble, they don’t usually buy a miracle. They buy a metronome. The Wraith is that metronome for distance. The Teebird 3 is the same idea in the fairway slot, a disc that makes you feel you chose the shot, rather than negotiated with it mid-flight.

The Mako 3 also climbs, from #7 to #5, which I read as the market wanting honesty. It’s a disc that tattles. Throw it badly and it won’t flatter you with a heroic fade. Throw it well and it looks like you meant it. That’s addictive.

There’s also a noticeable love letter to understable comfort: the Mamba holds at #2 and keeps “Heating Up”, while the Sidewinder jumps to #7 and the Roadrunner climbs to #11. People don’t always buy discs for what they do, they buy them for how they feel. And nothing feels better than a disc that drifts right on command and gives you a plausible excuse for extra distance.

Not everyone’s having a lovely week. The Destroyer drops from #6 to #9. It’s still elite, but it’s also the disc equivalent of ordering a vindaloo to prove you can handle spice. Sometimes you can. Sometimes you spend the back nine managing consequences.

The sharpest stumble near the top is the Axiom Hex falling from #3 to #22. That’s not a gentle drift, that’s a trapdoor. It suggests demand didn’t vanish so much as attention moved on, perhaps towards moulds that feel either simpler (Mako 3) or more fun (Glitch). Golfers are magpies. We adore a fresh idea, even when we already own the sensible option.

My favourite footnote sits outside the spotlight: the MVP Matrix catapults up 72 places to #116. That smells like a quiet restock, a few strong recommendations, and a handful of players deciding they want a midrange that behaves in a stiff breeze.

Next Friday, we’ll find out if the Glitch is a lasting habit or just a flirty phase. Either way, somebody will buy a disc and call it a personality.
