Hello! And thanks for visiting ZING Mini Discs website. My name is Craig Myers and I’ve been a Plastics Engineer for over 25 years. My duty with large companies in Automotive, Medical, and Consumer Products has provided me with a unique set of talents in the plastics industry. The economy had recently taken its toll on my most recent position and it was eliminated in the Fall of 2008. I have decided to take a journey again in entrepreneurialism.

The Zing Aerfoil mini is a unique disc I think you will enjoy. I had owned another mini manufacturing business several years ago under another name that is currently very successful in the marketplace. But not to confuse things, the Aerofoil is big, heavy, and flys a long way.

One of the unique characteristics of Zing as a company is that it is entirely run by one individual. I operate every aspect of Zing. All of the equipment is self-owned. From the molding machine, molds, and decorating equipment, to the hot stamping, purchasing, and marketing, one man does it all. I believe this gives my customers the personal, passionate, and quality service they deserve. If you call Zing, Craig answers. I use recycled materials wherever I can. From the recycled premium medical plastic to the materials used in die making, to the boxes I ship the minis in,..Recycled products all the way!!

With all of that said, I believe in my customers and supporters of this venture. Thanks to Donnie Brooks of the MDGF and many others that believed in me. You folks are what make the wonderful world of Disc Golf go around. I invite you to grab one of these fascinating discs, lean back, give ‘em a big anhyzer throw, and watch them fly. Zing minis are the most over stable mini discs currently produced. Stay tuned for more products from ZING!!

Why the name “Zing” ??

While developing my latest mini golf disc, I originally was going to make it like the pocket pro by Wham-o. You see, I have a huge amount of respect for Ed Headrick and how he has made our disc world the way it is. I had an opportunity in 1995 to repair and reproduce some of his earlier molds, and we exchanged some correspondence about making discs here in Indianapolis. We were never able to “hit it off” because he was in California, and I am in Indiana. Ed wanted to see his products made a little closer to his home. I’ve had several opportunities to meet with Ed, and have numerous signed discs and minis.

The you tube video that follows is a piece from the Johnny Carson show. Ed was a special guest where he showed off one of his first flying discs to the TV audience. At one point you will here Johnny say “Ed, Can you zing it back?”

Thus, the name Zing.

Ed. You will always be an inspiration to my disc making ventures. You are a mentor, and  a master. Never copied, just improved.

Thanks Ed,

Craig Myers
