Hi Team, a lot of big changes are happening that we are stoked to tell you about, so please read the information below and feel free to reach out to us as team@rpmdiscs.com if you have any questions.
New Disc Release
This March we will be releasing our new fairway driver, the Tara Iti, to our distributors and to the public. We think the Tara Iti will take a very important spot in our line-up, and we will be offering this disc on pre-order this month exclusively for Team members. This means if you pre-order a Tara Iti, you will be receiving them around the same time as our distributors (if not a little before). You will be the first players in the world to own the mold.
A follow up announcement will be posted with a date for when the pre-order will be available.
Drew Gibson Signature Disc
This March we will also be releasing Drew Gibson’s signature disc. Drew is a part of Team Infinite’s Tour Team and RPM Discs Team Crown. He currently holds #17 on the United States tour rank. If you would like to support Drew, his signature Kotuku will be going on pre-order at the same time as the Tara Iti.
Fulfilling Team Orders from the United States to Allow for Team Discounts and to Reduce Shipping
We have a new system in place with a connection in the United States, where we will be working with him to hold stock of our products and be able to fulfill online orders from Team members from the US and Canada. This means you can log onto our website, purchase a brand new Piwakawaka with your team discount and have it delivered to you at the standard price you would expect from a store located in the United States. We see this having a very positive impact for players in North America, as it opens up a more accessible opportunity for you to purchase discs from us with your discount and be able to sell them on for a profit at tournaments and events you attend. All online orders, including disc allotments, from players in North America, will be fulfilled through this new system. We will have this up and running in March, as we plan to send currently processing team allotments as well as the new Tara Iti and Drew’s signature disc to our associate in the United States with our first stock shipment.
Disc Allotments
All currently pending disc allotments from those in the United States or Canada are on the list to be sent to our connection in the United States to then be shipped on to you. We are hand picking and packing these allotments to meet your order requests the best we can. We originally planned on having these done and shipped by the 17th of February, but have delayed this date until the middle of March in order to include the new Tara Iti and Drew’s disc with our stock shipment. Yes, this does mean that you will be able to order the new Tara Iti as a part of your disc allotment when it comes on pre-order this month – if you have already submitted an allotment order, then we will give you the option to revise it in case you want to include the new discs. Please email team@rpmdiscs.com if you want to make an edit.
Of course, this delay in disc allotments will be frustrating for some of you, and we understand that and apologize for the inconvenience. Please see below for more information on this new system.
New Disc Allotment System
By default, all players that currently have a processing disc allotment and all new players who order a disc allotment from here on out, will be put on the list to have their order fulfilled through our new system.
– Pros
- Larger stock to choose from
- Reduced shipping price
- Tracking numbers upon order being sent out
- Early access to our new disc release, the Tara Iti
- Early access to Drew Gibson’s signature disc
- The ability to add more discs to your order (at your team discount price)

We understand that this is a lot of information to process all at once and we are here if you have any questions or need any assistance. Otherwise we hope that you are as excited as we are about these changes. We have been wanting to better cater to our team members in North America for a long time and make our product more accessible to purchase with your team discounts. Now we can!
We hope you enjoy!
