Why We Do It
The Difference is Doing It started as an idea long before the we ever dyed our first disc. It spans much wider than disc golf, and kayaking, and camping, and all the other adventures we find ourselves in. It’s a moniker that lifts us up off the couch and straight past all of the stupid fears and excuses that keep us from really living life. It’s amazing where things can wonder to when you’re not afraid to fall on your face a few times along the way! For us at TDIDI it eventually centered itself on the Zen experience found over the turntable spinning custom plastic out into the bags of fellow huckers!
We now use disc golf and our artistic fellowship to spread the word that sitting around wasting time glued to the TV or cell phone can not keep happening! Every day is another opportunity at getting out there and Doing It not to wasted, and then to share it with someone. Give someone something that will make them smile. Share something you’re proud of. MAKE something you’re proud of. Inspire more people to see that Doing will simply make you happier than Not Doing and in turn, you may feel inspired even further. Now, let’s Do It!
Fresh Off the Turntable
In short, what Doing It has all grown into for us is erecting a makeshift Disc Dyeing Studio out on my camper (The Box), that cranks out custom disc dyes for the TDIDI Army, while showing how to Do It yourself. Below, fed in from our Instagram page, are the most recent creations to come spinning off the TDIDI Turntable out of The Box. Want to see more? Want one for yourself? Click either of the buttons below to get started on your trip down the wormhole with us.

Create Your Own Custom Disc
You know you want to! I’ll bet you can even already see it in your head. We’ve tried to make the process of bringing your vision to a reality easy by breaking it down into 3 simple steps: Pick a Disc, Pick a Design, and Pick a Style. Click on the button below to be taken to our “Create Your Custom Form” and get started now!
1. Pick a Disc
Three options for picking a disc to dye:
- Choose one from our inventory of news discs across most all brands.
- Grab one off our friends over at OTBdiscs.com and have it sent our way with Free Shipping.
- Send us one of your favorite discs from your bag.
2. Pick a Design
This is the fun part, let your imagination run wild! We’ve put pretty much one of everything onto a piece of plastic at this point. Maybe you want a funky geometric spiral, or maybe it’s Deadpool riding a unicorn farting rainbows, or maybe it’s your Tom Selleck looking Face! Whatever it is, if you can think it up chances are we can ink it up. Just send us your design idea, we’ll draft a couple stamp options for your review, then pick a winner and we start banging away on it.
