Today the Ledgestone team is happy to announce the molds that will be released to vendors for the 2022 Ledgestone Limited Edition disc program. This year Ledgestone Limited Edition discs will be released over 4 different waves. The plan would call for approximate releases in December 2021, March 2022, May 2022 and July 2022. Ledgestone will also have limited discs available exclusively at the Ledgestone retail website throughout the year and will have a special wave during the Ledgestone event. The plan is to release Ledgestone Wave 1 on December 17th, with more details to come soon. This announcement is the 2nd in our Twelve Days of Ledgestone promotion.
Coming up with the disc schedule is always a fun challenge for Ledgestone TD Nate Heinold. “The process really starts with asking people what they want to see. We do some polls online and then gauge what has sold well in the past. We also evaluate new molds as they come out,” said Heinold. One of the main benefits for the Ledgestone program is bringing back molds that do not get a lot of attention in stock runs, or molds that are out of production. “A lot of these older discs have great markets, and sometimes releasing these older discs in limited runs (in a newer plastic) will reinvigorate fans of that disc, or bring new fans to certain discs,” continued Heinold. Additionally it’s always challenging to figure out stamps for all of the discs. Ledgestone will continue to use in house Discraft designers Allison Griwicki and Zack Koslowski, while continuing to use longtime Ledgestone collaborator Les White. Brian Allen will return to the design team for 2022 after debuting his work with Ledgestone in 2021. New to the design team in 2022 will include Justin Lago and Paul Johnson.
The Ledgestone fundraiser discs are one of the primary fundraising methods for the tournament. “All of the vendor support for these discs really helps make Ledgestone what it is. We are extremely grateful to all of the vendors who have supported us over the years,” said Heinold. Vendors supporting the event at the top level include the following vendors:
