Installation, use and limitations
✅ Quick and easy installation
Some people just stick the DiscFinder directly onto the disc and go outside to play – especially in warm weather and when the surface is soft. We have heard that many people use superglue so that they can start playing straight away (and if it pops off, it is quick to reattach).
If you need maximum adhesion (e.g. if there are many trees or hard objects near the tee), we recommend a little extra preparation:
Smooth surface: Remove any molding residue or unevenness on the counter with a knife or file.
Sand the surface: Use the sandpaper provided for the best possible adhesion.
Clean the counter: Wipe with alcohol wipe (included) to remove grease and dirt.
Press and hold: Place the DiscFinder in the center of the disc and press firmly for 10 seconds.
Let it cure: For best results – place something heavy on top and let it sit for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
💡 Tip: Some players carry a small tube of superglue in their bag, in case the device comes loose from hard impacts.
🔁 Switch between disks?
You can easily move DiscFinder to a new disc – just use a new label (or superglue). Additional labels can be purchased in the online store.

⚠ Realistic expectations and use of DiscFinder
The DiscFinder is designed to be lightweight, affordable and durable, but just like your discs, it has its limits. During a round of disc golf, it is natural for the disc to hit trees and other obstacles, sometimes with great force. When this happens, both the disc and the DiscFinder are subjected to great forces.
DiscFinder usually withstands several hard hits. We have tested it thoroughly, and in the vast majority of cases the device stays firmly in place, even with direct hits. Check out our video where we throw discs straight into a wall – and DiscFinder still holds just as well.
However, please note that extremely hard impacts against trees or rocks, for example, can in rare cases cause the DiscFinder to come loose or become damaged. This is normal, just as your discs can also be damaged by heavy impacts.
Should the DiscFinder come loose, you can easily reattach it with new double-sided tape or a little superglue (then you can continue straight away). The device is designed with simple and affordable components in order to to make it easy and cost-effective to replace if necessary.
If you experience any challenges or have suggestions for improvements, we greatly appreciate your feedback. We are continuously working to develop DiscFinder so improve each version - and that is only possible with feedback from you, the users! 😊
🌱 Environmental tip : Remember to remove the battery before discarding the device, or dispose of the entire device as electronic waste.
