Why the Destroyer Is Climbing Again (and the Glitch Won’t Go Away)

Top-ranked discs on Friday April 10, 2026

Apr 10, 2026 has that comforting, slightly chaotic feel you get when the sun comes out and everyone suddenly believes they can throw 450. According to the latest DiscList rankings, the Innova Destroyer has hauled itself up to #3 from #5, and it’s doing it with the swagger of a pub regular who’s remembered your name.

This is the season when people buy the disc they intend to become. The Destroyer is an aspiration purchase. It’s the disc golf equivalent of ordering a salad with chips on the side. You are signalling virtue, plus a minor willingness to suffer. And the funny thing is, it often works, because a little extra overstability can feel like “control” even when what you’ve really bought is forgiveness.

At the top, the Discraft Buzzz remains #1, still the ultimate low-drama decision. You can almost hear shoppers thinking, “If I buy another Buzzz, nobody can accuse me of being irrational.” The Axiom Crave holds #2, which makes sense because the Crave is that rare fairway you can throw hard without it turning your round into performance art.

The more interesting movement is the MVP Glitch creeping up to #5, up one place, and trending hotter. The Glitch is proof that disc golf purchases are not always about shaving strokes. Sometimes they’re about buying permission to play like a kid again. It’s also a social disc. You can hand it to almost anyone, they’ll get something resembling flight, and everyone feels competent for ten minutes. That’s a powerful drug.

Not every stable favourite had a good week. The Axiom Hex slips from #3 to #6, which is less a rejection and more a reminder that the midrange slot is like the kitchen drawer full of batteries. Everyone needs it, nobody talks about it, and yet people keep buying slightly different versions of the same thing.

Further down the Top 15, the Innova Firebird jumps two places to #13, and that feels like players stocking up on a reliable excuse. A Firebird never lies. If you miss the gap, you can blame the wind, the angle, or the laws of physics, but not the disc. The Kastaplast Berg sits at #11 with “Heating Up” vibes, which is hilarious for a disc with the glide of a brick. It sells because it reduces anxiety. It turns scary upshots into boring ones, and boring is underrated.

Regionally, the vibe shifts. Europe has the MVP Wave sitting pretty in its top slot, while Asia is led by the Innova Wraith, which suggests a taste for workable speed that still behaves itself. Oceania putting the Glitch at the top is the most honest outcome of all: yes, we are here to score, but we are also here to have a laugh.

Outside the spotlight, there’s proper turbulence. The Doomsday Depth Charge rockets up 283 places to #294, which is the sort of jump you get when a niche disc gets a sudden burst of chatter and a few people decide to be interesting at the next league night.

Next Friday will tell us whether this week was a genuine shift or just sunshine-fuelled optimism. Either way, I’ll be here with the tea and the takes.
