The Driver 96-31 is a driver from ChainLink Disc Golf, a Toronto company that designs and builds disc golf courses. Its PDGA approval sample is stamped with a 9/6/-3/1 rating, the same rating ChainLink's store gives the driver in its Conservation Series, and the digits in the certified name, "ChainLink Disc Golf Driver 96-31", repeat it. On those numbers it turns well before a light fade; its ratings suggest it is less suited to players who want an overstable finish. ChainLink describes its Conservation Series as glow-in-the-dark fundraiser discs with UV-printed wildlife polygram artwork, made from a recycled, soft and grippy plastic that it calls beginner-friendly, and says $1 from every disc sold goes to the conservation authority behind each design. The listing's three driver designs are a White-Tailed Deer for the Hamilton Conservation Authority, a Woodpecker for the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and a Turkey Vulture for Conservation Halton. ChainLink says each design's nature fact also appears on course signage at Christie Lake, Albion Hills and Kelso respectively. The PDGA approved it on November 2, 2026 (certification 26-139, 176.0 g maximum weight), alongside ChainLink's midrange and putter. It measures 21.2 cm across and 1.7 cm tall, with a 1.2 cm rim depth and a 2.0 cm rim width. Disc Golf Dyers Guild's Shade, approved the same day, shares its diameter, rim depth and maximum weight but stands 2.1 cm tall with a 1.8 cm rim.
