All about Discs

uuuuu

One thing for sure is that all these " beginner discs " are quality discs. They are called beginner discs simply because they are beginner friendly. Don't think that when you do gain throwing knowledge, that these discs will suddenly become obsolete and of no use to your game. On the contrary, these discs may well be the discs that you will use for years to come, your " go to discs" so to speak. Below I will explain what qualifies a disc as beginner friendly. All explanations are based on a right handed, backhand delivery.

People who are new to the game often have the same predicament. They throw a disc, it goes about 70 feet forward then suddenly slices to the left. Everyone goes through this, but choosing a disc with less " turn " and less " fade" will definately speed up the process of getting your throw to fly in a staighter line.

' Clic ' the chart on your right, Ignore the distance drivers, at this point they will not fly much further than a putter. Take a look at the Fairway drivers, the midranges, and the putters. Ignore ' speed ' and ' glide ' numders, until you have a powerful snap on your release, they mean nothing. Look at the discs that have the least amount of turn and fade. I've made a list that is sound advice in terms of choosing disc that won't hamper your progress.

When selecting your disc, try gripping differant ones, we all have differant hand sizes and some will feel better than others.

You may be wondering about how to grip your disc. Use the same principle, grip it tightly and choose the grip that feels best in your hand.

After that it is just a matter of trial and error, pay attention to what your disc does when you release it at differant angles ( edge ) , then compensate for the next throw.

If you see someone who is throwing well, don't hesitate to ask for a tip. Disc golfers are always pleased to help.
