Review: The Discineer Retractable Towel

I’m an incessant disc-dryer.

Mud, dust, water, dog poo, essence of grass, etc.

Every shot requires a post-flight wipe-down of the disc.

Welcome to my world of obsessive-compulsive behavior.

Needless to say, I’m big on disc-drying towels. Because of it, I bring plenty of ‘em with me to the course in my bag. But any old towel will do the trick, right? After all, a towel’s a towel.

Pump the brakes there, Gibraltar …

Not so fast.

Check out the Discineer Retractable Towel.

I hate to pull a cringe-worthy buzzword from the world of startup entrepreneurship and say Discineer is “disrupting” the towel space, because it’s not like the company is sending a man to Mars or discovering a cure for cancer. But if you thought such a mind-numbingly simple product like a towel couldn’t kick things up a notch, I’ve got a dose of reality for you …

Think again.

On the surface, the Retractable Towel is a one-foot by one-foot towel – and that’s about it. Composed of 80% polyester and 20% polyamide, the microfiber towel dries discs like a champ. However, the towel’s main, not-so-secret selling point can be found in the very name it bears …

It’s retractable.

In the corner of the towel, you’ll find a clip with two feet of durable (seriously) cord inside of it. The idea is that you clip the towel to your bag, dry a frisbee at hand-height when needed, let go of it when done and continue on your merry way. If you’re tired of losing towels, this’ll help.

* Note: Yes, you can attach the towel to your belt, but don’t – it’s the dumbest look in disc golf.

It’s a simple, effective idea, the logic behind which ANY idiot can wrap his brain.

I love it.

BTW, just a couple more items worth mentioning:

• Item No. 1 – The small, compact size pairs nicely with a golf disc.
• Item No. 2 – Due to its dimensions, the towel won’t drag on the ground.

Nice work, Discineer.

Take an honest look at your disc golf gear …

The last thing you need is more plastic.

Buy one of these, instead.
