Reddit mentions: The best flying disc sports equipment

It’s real rare that disc golf makes it on the front page, so I have to take this opportunity to try and grow the sport.

First of all disc golf is amazing. While you have to buy your own discs, you can get a starter pack for cheap. Courses are almost always free, and you can search your area to find a course that is close to you very easily. Its an awesome way to get outside and be active for the day, while having a little healthy competition with your friends. If you want to learn this guy’s YouTube channel has a TON of amazing tips and techniques. If you’re interested in watching the pros play (they are fucking incredible) check out Jomez Productions.

It’s an amazing game, and truly my favorite way to spend a day. If anyone has any questions feel free to pm me!

IT IS AWESOME.

Anywho. You'll want at least two discs, a driver and a putter. It might be easy to start with a "fairway driver." Here's a good starter pack on Amazon. You might also consider checking out 42 Degrees South in L5P. It's mostly a smoke shop, but they have a decent selection of discs too.

My favorite places to play in Atlanta are:

Perkerson Park - It's the only one ITP, and it's really pretty. They recently added a bunch of signage and new tees, and they keep it in good shape. But it's tough for a beginner. You might want to start out on...

Redan Park - It's a few miles East OTP, but not too far away
. Good for beginners, not a whole lot of water hazards. I usually take new folks here.

JP Moseley - I haven't been since they redesigned it, but it's apparently very impressive now. 27 holes, one of the highest rated courses in Georgia, but slightly farther away than I'd usually want to travel (40 minutes from my house).

There are other courses around too, such as Deer Lick Park, but Perkerson and Redan are my go-to two.

I bought a Disc Golf basket for my friend that was visiting. He lives out of state, and once a year he'll come down after visiting family for the holidays. Usually around the first couple weeks of January.

I bought a basket for myself in December and he mentioned he was going to try and save for a few months and hopefully buy one in the summer. I make pretty good money working in IT so I bought him one too.

He's back home now and sends me pics of it in the snow in his backyard super happy. It's always a good feeling to make someone feel happy.

Not televised, but they do have coverage on Youtube. Jomez Pro is the top dog, CCDG is up there as well. Even though it's on youtube the quality and commentating are top notch! Most coverage is put out the day after (sometimes the day of) and live streaming has picked up in popularity as well. 2018 Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFmEKbAeL0Q

I HIGHLY recommend trying it out. Get a start set for ~20$ https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Disc-Golf-3-Disc-Colors/dp/B000Q838XW/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=disc+golf+set&qid=1556733164&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Check out Danny Lindahl on youtube for some basics. Download uDisc to find local courses, 99% are probably free to play. /r/discgolf is always welcoming!

Throwback Sports All Day Pack

I'm all about this bag. Sure the DD sniper is the same price, but this one has 6 side mesh pockets. I never knew how much I would love that. It makes grabbing the discs really easy. You can get about 3 discs into each pocket (although most times I had 2 in each unless they were drivers).

So what do they do with all that room in the actual bag compartment, well, you could store EXTRA discs in there or you could make use of the fact that it's lined and load that bad boy up with beer and ice. At the top of the bag (near the handle) there is a deep can pocket which holds tallboys oh so nicely. It's also perfect for holding my Bluetooth speaker! There are additional pockets on the bag to stash some gear in.

Seriously, I loved this bag (past tense because it got stolen with about 22 discs in it). I had room for all the discs I needed, a 6 pack, my speaker, a couple bottles of water, some food, a sweatshirt/jacket and pretty much anything else I wanted to bring with me. I never had a problem with it's comfort and it sat nice and square.

Amazon, Walmart, and some of the other big box stores sell them online.

In-person purchases are trickier. I've had luck with internet searching local disc golf stores but there are definitely areas where they really don't exist. Party stores, gas stations, media stores - it's weird who sells them and who doesn't.

Premium discs run about $15 a pop. Base discs around $8. There is a very real difference in the quality of the plastics here. A lot of people recommend DX plastic to start with because it's cheaper and easier to throw. Personally I found they went to crap waaaaay too quickly - big gouges and scrapes pretty much from the start.

This is the gold standard for starting:

https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Disc-Golf-3-Disc-Colors/dp/B000Q838XW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1506561217&sr=8-6&keywords=disc+golf+starter+set

Personally I like this set more from a mold stand-point (although the Escape is probably fast for a beginner).

https://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Discs-Prime-Disc-Starter/dp/B00T6TBNX4/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1506561217&sr=8-16&keywords=disc+golf+starter+set

This set is pricier, but you'll use it forever. Plastic is darn near indestructible and they are useful discs at several play levels - you'll need an arm for the volt though.

https://www.amazon.com/MVP-Disc-Golf-Neutron-Straight/dp/B00OS9ZN4C/ref=pd_sbs_200_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KC5V01K22CEXT3DVJ35M


Personally though, I'd probably piecemeal one together for a starter kit. A 175g Judge Classic, 170+ E-Mac Truth, 170+ Neutron Switch or Lucid River, and then a light 150g driver like an Opto Air Diamond maybe.

For a more traditional disc that is durable, but flies relatively well compared to Hero Discs, I would go with a [Hyperflite Jawz] (https://www.amazon.com/Hyperflite-Jawz-Disc-4-Inch-Blueberry/dp/B002CM3O6G) disc. They are puncture resistant and can fly a lot further than the soft rubber or foam discs. They are also softer than Hero Discs, which makes them a little safer. They are more expensive than other discs, but I have had mine for over a year without any punctures holes. They are heavier than Hero Discs so they don't float quite as well, but they can carry some distance, especially compared to the Kong flyers.

Disc Golf is a big one for me. I've put $50 into the sport and have all the equipment I need.

✅ Cheap cost of entry (link)

✅ Free to play (some courses are pay-to-play, make sure you check)

✅ Exercise while you play

✅ Fun with friends who are both good at the sport or have never played

✅ Outdoors

✅ Can play anywhere in the country (find a course)

It's an awesome hobby. Check out /r/discgolf for more. But watch out for those guys. They will have you thinking you need to buy 10 discs a year. You don't.

Any specific starter kits you recomend? I have been thinking about picking up the 3 disc starter pack on amazon, but the 5 and 8 disc have two of the discs you mentioned ( Valkyrie and Shark).

Money is a little tight right now, but I can put off getting a set if saving for the 5 or 8 disc is worth it. What would you recommend?

Also looking to hopefully get some friends into this. They prob won't have their own discs to start. Would I be better off getting 5 or 8 discs to play with 2-3 people?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G7VX8UK/ref=twister_B00HCZTS7M?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

bestdiscgolfdiscs.com suggests a Valkyrie, Roc, and Aviar for 3 discs. They do use Amazon Pay but you can't use a gift card for that, which is why I assume you specify Amazon.

The problem with buying a set is they're just going to give you what ever they have but it will be cheaper than buying individually.

This Innova Set is decent, The TeeBird is my favorite Innova fairway drive and one of the best all around discs and it has a recommended Roc. I can't say anything about the Rhino but I think when you're starting out putters don't matter much. A similar Innoa Set This one is Leopard, Roc, and Aviar. So maybe this is a little safer as most players will agree that Roc and Aviar are solid discs. Then maybe throw in a GStar Valkyrie and you're just over $40 but you've got some solid discs.

This set of 4 Discraft goes right up to your budget but there's no listing of discs so it's a gamble. In the photo you see a Nuke which is a horrible disc for beginners.

This DGA set Is notable because they're all 150 class discs. Lighter discs can be good for absolute beginners but if you did play a little and can throw then light discs might be more of a burden. It all depends on your arm speed, I'd probably suggest this more for women and children. The Squall is a great beginner mid and the Reef is a solid putter. In normal plastic I'd say the Rogue is not good for beginners but being so light it might work.

I recently got my dad a Throwback Sack and it's honestly the highest quality bag I've ever had my hands on. Much nicer than my backpack. This thing has an insulated cooler pocket that's big enough to hold 4 bottles of water with 2 ice packs, keeps them ice cold. Has lots of disc space, putter pocket in the front, mini pocket on the side with a phone pocket and a bottle holder pocket that has a good drawstring and is big enough for a big gatorade bottle. The strap is strong with very good padding, and the two things that set this bag over the top for me were: The back of the bag, where it rests against your body when you're walking the course, has very thick mesh padding. And the second thing is that the bottom of the bag has the biggest rubber feet I've seen on a bag.

Super big fan, and their a newer company so I think they deserve all the shoutouts they can get right now. Currently the bag is on sale for $50, the normal price is $80 and the quality of the construction is worth that, so for $50 it's an absolutely insane deal.

I have purchased this bag recently and I love it. My friend got an upper park designs bag around the same time and I believe mine is just as durable as his will be years from now. Many reviews on the product attest to its durability. It super cheap (which is what I needed cause I'm a college student), but it doesn't come with cheap material in my opinion. It's only $99 so it's a win win to me.


I just copy pasted this from the last time I told someone about this bag. I have it and still love it ~7 months now

Nice looking discs, and good choices too, but if you're just starting out, these discs might be a bit frustrating to throw. It might do you well to leave these at home for a bit, and pick up a starter kit (like this one by Innova, or this on by Discraft) or just a midrange like the Discraft Buzzz. Learning how to drive with a midrange or putter is one of the best ways to develop good form and work up your arm speed before moving up to fairway and distance drivers! :)

This starter set will get you off to a great start and will be the best discs for you long-term if you decide to stick with it.

The /r/discgolf community is great overall especially for new players wanting to ask questions.

There is also quality coverage on YouTube of professional disc golf tournaments. Check out any of the following channels: Jomez Pro, Central Coast Disc Golf (these are the two biggest channels), The Disc Golf Guy, Par Save Productions, or GK Pro.

For channels about how to get better once you get bitten by the disc golf bug, check out Danny Lindahl's channel or search Physics of Flight on YouTube.

My Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is this disc golf goal

I want it because I would love to set up disc golf in my back yard or when I want to go out with friends.

If I never got it I would not be surprised. Its really just a fun item with no real requirement of ownership.

Thanks for the fun contest :)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Innova-Disc-Golf-Set-3-DXSET/dp/B000Q838XW/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=disc+golf+set&qid=1556639104&s=gateway&sr=8-10

I think that could work well for you. Aviar is a great putter (what I started with); Shark I've never used but seems like it would be good as a disc you know will finish left; Leopard I still use a lot.

If not, I also would second getting an Aviar and a Champ Mako3. I bought a couple Mako3s when starting and used them exclusively for a couple months. I still play 2 disc rounds with them from time to time to practice form and shaping.

I'm assuming you bought this set back then. For a forehand(flick) throw I would pick up an Innova Orc, preferably one in Champion plastic. This is the first disc I owned and I would get beautiful s-curves out of my flick. here is a link to one. Champion plastic is super durable and will not get destroyed by hitting trees. Read up on some of the discs on that site I linked too, it has some decent insight on which discs do what.

• Bug spray
  
• drink coozy
  
• towel that clips onto his bag
  
• socks that let your feet breathe but keep your ankles protected
  
• make him a shirt that says something about disc golf
  
• a new mini disc is always fun
  
• if he doesn't have a basket at home, this link and this link are good places to start
  
  Or the next time you two are out on a date, ask him to show you some discs at a sporting goods store that he has his eye on. Or try these websites:
  
  
• Marshall Street
  
• Gotta Go Gotta Throw
  
• Disc Golf World
  
• Innova
  
• Flywood Discs
  
  Marshall Street is where you're going to get the most bang for your buck. I added Flywood there on the end because that's one of my dream discs to own, just because the idea of a wooden frisbee gives me shivers and tingles.
  

Sorry I am late, but if you want a little bit cheaper option, this Fade bag is great. I have had mine for years and it is still good as new.

Paired with the innova back pack straps its even better. https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Backsaver-Bag-Strap/dp/B004AQFEMY/ref=pd_bxgy_200_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004AQFEMY&pd_rd_r=SCPNNHV88HRKWZMHP14Q&pd_rd_w=xn40e&pd_rd_wg=dJbxi&psc=1&refRID=SCPNNHV88HRKWZMHP14Q

Innova starter pack is a great place to 'start'. Should be around $30. Don't buy more discs until you know a lot more. This subreddit is a great resource. As others have said, read the stuff at the right.

You can order on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q838XW/ref=asc_df_B000Q838XW1974822?smid=A2NMB0M9XDBFPF&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B000Q838XW&hvpos=1o2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1703658721432219585&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=

> is alcohol permitted?

Lol

That’s like asking if you’re allowed to drink outside an Eagles game.

As for buying discs? Just buy a very stable, bright colored driver and a putter on amazon. You really only need 2-3 discs starting out.

Something like: https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Disc-Golf-3-Disc-Colors/dp/B000Q838XW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1536084686&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=disc+starter+set&dpPl=1&dpID=51ABavZHDCL&ref=plSrch

When you learn to throw and place the discs where you want them then you’ll begin to notice how different discs have different flight paths, you’ll use that like you would a different club in golf for different situations. But buy a cheap set because you’ll beat up your discs (beat up discs become understable) and probably lose a couple in the time it takes to build up the skills you will need to utilize a good disc.

Don’t forget to write your number and an email on your disc, if you lose it then people typically reach out to try and get it back to you.

It doesn't have to be. You can play an adequate game of casual disc golf with a starter kit.

Sure, it's easy to go overboard, build a huge disc collection, and become neurotic about selecting the best disc for every shot.

In case of lazy


I have it, for the price its nice. If you have Prime it's 28ish bucks shipped. I got it a while back when it was like 19 dollars on prime (I had it in a wish list). My nieces love playing with it. video proof

CCDG has a great instructional video about how to use them from top pros.

Alternatively, go to proshop.innovadiscs.com and try to build your own starter pack. http://i.imgur.com/C7tcFsb.png would be my suggestions bases on what they have atm. True starter packs will be more likely to be 150g, but since you are used to ultimate you will be used to 175g-ish discs. Aero and Shark will be good transitions from lids to discs, and Leopard is in a slightly better plastic because you will want to hold onto it longer.

I have the grip clone bag $100 on amazon, and it is not bad at all. Right now grip is having a sale and it looks like B15's are only 154 shipped, so spending the extra $54 might not be a bad idea to get the actual thing from them. The only real difference I see, is the flap has a pocket that can hold a disc, and it comes with a rain fly, but doesn't have the towel clips. I have had mine since March and it seems to hold up well, and can even be loaded down with a decent number of discs. If it fits in your budget, I saw go for the real thing, reputable company with a warranty, and you know it will be well made. There are so many bags out now hope this helps in decision.

I don't know if the one I had as a kid was name brand or not, but it was pretty much the same. I had so much fun with that thing, definitely prefer it over the more common kind of frisbee.

Link for those that are interested.

Well since we're discussing it in this thread, why not collaborate on something? Here's a start, feel free to offer suggestions and/or add to it.

I was going to throw some videos/channels to look at for technique but work is about to pick up so I don't have time right this second.

Beginner disc reccomendations:
First, disc down. You don't need a high speed driver as a beginner, because there's about a 99% chance you lack the proper arm speed and technique to throw it the way it needs to be thrown to fly properly.

With that said, here are some specific disc recommendations:

Fairway driver: Lat 64 River, Innova Teebird, Innova Leopard

Midrange: Innova Roc, Discraft Buzzz, Discraft Comet

Putter: Innova KC Aviar, Gateway Wizard (alternative is if you're lucky enough to be near a disc golf store, go there and pick up a few different putters, and buy whichever one feels comfortable in your hand)

There are also starter kits available via Amazon and various sporting goods stores. The most common being the Innova DX starter set (DX is a less durable type of plastic), the Innova Champion starter set (champion plastic is more durable). Discraft also makes starter sets, some with bags and some without.

You can buy discs individually at:

• discgolfcenter.com
  
• communitydiscs.com
  
• dynamicdiscs.net
  
• marshallstreetdiscgolf.com

How did you land on that basket? I've got that one and it's the lightest weight basket available, but it's not my favorite. I also have THIS ONE and prefer it more for a travelling basket. It's just a little bit bulkier, but works a lot better and is more durable. If the basket is intended to be LEFT outside and not moved around very much I would recommend moving up to an all metal basket like THIS or THIS

Hey, welcome to the sport... I started four months ago and love it! I'm in central jersey.

I highly, highly recommend the dx innova starter pack on Amazon. It has perfect discs for beginners.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000Q838XW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467241683&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=innova+starter+set&dpPl=1&dpID=51seTHgV9dL&ref=plSrch


If you are in north jersey you should check out the course at Rutgers, oldest course in the country and nice short holes for beginners.

You'll lose discs, it's part of the game but when you are starting out and can't throw that far it shouldn't be so bad.

Just wear comfy movable clothes and good shoes!

perfect summer day spending the day with my fiance. does not matter what we are doing as long as Im with her. she makes the perfect any day :D

wish list this would make a nice summer. and this would get a lot of use to this summer!

To Watch: The 2016 Beaver State Fling 3rd round lead card
Riverbend @ Milo McIver State Park outside Portland, OR is a beautiful course. Ricky and Nate are lead card regulars (and to a slightly lesser extent Philo and Kyle). This round also contains the Philobatross: Philo's 2 on the par-5 hole 6W. Its honestly the best shot I've seen on film.
From there, CCDG and Jomez are both great sources for edited tournament coverage that is posted about 24 hours after the rounds are played.

To Disc Up: Find a local disc golf store and go tell them you want to start playing. They'll help you find between one and three discs that are beginner appropriate and you should be able to walk out for under $30. You should also be able to find pre-packaged beginner sets of 3 discs that are appropriate as long as you avoid the Franklin brand (they are notoriously low quality and will warp after too many tree hits). Alternatively, [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q838XW/ref=s9_acsd_topr_hd_bw_bEI57_c_x_1_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=S7AQR4PP07QE9C8HP9A9&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=ad575359-22e1-5a27-9b1e-bc5e5317452c&pf_rd_i=3406101) is the current version of the beginner set I used. (and is on sale for <$20 currently).
For courses, I use DGCourseReview to find courses. For the most part, you just go and play. Private courses might have a check-in, but most courses are in city/state parks and all you'll have to pay is parking.

Take them disc golfing you can spend 18$ on a starter set and play for free when ever it's i take my 6 year old cousin all the time he loves it just be careful around holes with water.

The DGA Mach Lite is a great basket for under 150 bucks.. I have one and it's awesome!

I’m not sure how long the hole was. UDisc says 218 but the sign says like 252 so I’m not sure, there was quite a bit of that there it looks like they recently went through and reworked everything, cleaned everything up. I threw a meteor esp that was bright green. It was a blast the course is called Tittabawassee Trails. Oh and the bag is a throwback.amazon link to the bag

August is amazing as it is the container for the Perseids Meteor shower which usually kicks off and peaks around Aug 11-13th. It's one of the most active cyclical showers and there is nothing like a warm August night watching streaks of light repetitively shoot across the sky. We usually head out to a stargazing pad and spend a few hours out there just joking around and oohing and aahhing at the sky.

A badass night frisbee to play with my daughter during the 31 days of August.

Didn't read all the comments but wanted to leave my $0.02.

I recommend the Innova Champion starter pack.
https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Champion-Material-Disc-Colors/dp/B005TEXO7I

It gets you 3 beginner friendly discs that are also in a premium plastic.

Couple pros to this over the DX set...

1. Nicer plastic and only costs a few bucks more than the SX set
   
2. These discs will last substantially longer than DX
   
3. Being a beginner, you ARE gonna hit trees. Champ plastic will be infinitely more durable than DX where one good tree hit on a drive could essentially ruin the disc
   
   The champ set should come with an Aviar, Panther, and Valkyrie, all of which are good beginner friendly discs.

i have no idea! but hopefully people will be able to give some feedback about this one, the fade crunch box, as that is the one i am debating getting. some better pictures are on the fade website and some reviews are on amazon.

i don't really want to end up carrying a bunch of discs, and i just want something that can switch between carrying a full 12 discs, or a half load and some brewskis. what kind of bags are you eyeing?

Have fun! IMO, as far as starter sets go, I think the Discraft starter set is the best deal. You get a bag, a putter, a Buzzz, and 2 different drivers to try out (IIRC, it usually comes with a Heat and an Avenger SS.)

happy 21st!

This aerobie frisbee would be cool. Like to try it out and see how far it can go :)

Don't forget to mention how cheap it is. A basket is like $250 including the theft-proof lock system. You only need a few baskets to make a satisfying course. Not even 9, but people might get mad at me for saying that because they be like "nah man you need at least a half course" I found just three baskets to be enough in a triangle formation. Of course it would be easy to jam pack the course in that condition. I'm just listing some ideas that may be helpful to consider. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HXM48Y2/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?qid=1426781635&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=disc+golf+basket

Simple backpacks end up being better than those bags they include in those starter sets. This set is better quality discs HERE. Better yet, if you have a local store, go talk to the person at the desk.

This to play with your dog or your friends :) It would last a long time and your dog would be so happy. You would both get exercise too.

Only the best my friend

The Fade Crunch Box will fit that bill for around $30 (more colors around the net if you look). It's marketed as a 12 disc bag, and has a divider. I bet I could fit 10 discs in (2 in the putter pocket) and a six pack without much coercion. It's not insulated... but for the money, I'd just toss a few ice packs in there.

It's very well made, I routinely carry a 2L of water with me on the course, no signs of wear on the bag yet.

As for straps, I got the LC-1 H-type military suspenders for about $15 shipped. I can't justify spending $50 on straps... these do the job quite nicely.

Everything is 3/4" pipe. The total costs of the joints at Lowe's is $9.24:

• 5 Tees, $0.47 each
  
• 1 Cross, $2.37
  
• 4 45-degree elbows, $0.86 each
  
• 4 90-degree elbows, $0.27 each
  
  For the pipe, you can get 10 feet of 200psi pipe for $1.51. This works fine for all the tubes except for the main vertical shaft. For that, you want to get the heavier pipe, so that it will make a tighter fit with the post on the basket. I think the heavier pipe is around $2.50 for 10 feet. All together, you'll be spending about $13.
  
  The basket itself is $18.83 right now on Amazon: http://amzn.com/B000OWL0X0
  
  The first design I tried was this. It's a few bucks cheaper, because it uses less of the 45 degree elbows, but would need glue to keep it from falling over in one direction. I started with edges that were 2 feet long for the base, and so when I decided to bisect them, I made them 11.25 inches (allowing 1.5 inches for the tee). When I went with the final design, I kept that measurement the same. Here's what I ended up for total pieces:
  
  
• 8 pieces 11.25" -- for the base
  
• 2 pieces 11.5" -- for the long diagonals
  
• 2 pieces 8" -- for the short diagonals
  
• 2 pieces 4.5" -- for the long arms
  
• 2 pieces 3" -- for the short arms
  
• 1 piece 2" -- vertical piece under the cross
  
• 1 piece 27" -- main vertical shaft, holds the basket
  
  Total length of tube needed: 173 inches. A single ten foot piece from the hardware store is 120 inches. So, you'll need two of them.
  
  I marked the distances with a sharpie, and then cut them with a compound miter box saw. I didn't allow any space for the cut, since tolerances here are pretty lax anyway. If you don't have a compound miter box saw, you can just use a hacksaw instead, but it will take a lot longer, and you'll need to sand the pieces after each cut.
  
  I didn't bother gluing any of this, but it's pretty sturdy. If you plan to use it a lot, it would be worthwhile to glue the joints, and spray paint it.

I would recommend a starter pack for each of you. I got the Innova Starter Pack and it is excellent for beginners. Depending on the arm strength/athleticism you probably will not even need the driver for the first while.

​

Most people here will recommend that you do not regularly the the driver discs until you have a better handle on the game as the drivers will hide/mask bad form and limit your game farther down the line.

Get a basket and practice. Start close and move out as you make them, closer as you miss them. As long as you have solid fundamentals, it's just a confidence thing and you need to get your mojo back.

Edit: I got this basket a few weeks ago, it's cheap and 'close enough' to the real thing for me to notice improvement already.

Like I said. Found a few on Amazon. Which would be best?

I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Champion-Discs-DISCatcher-Traveler/dp/B008RU1UV8/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=innova+disc+golf+basket&qid=1566831074&s=gateway&sr=8-4

It doesn't catch as well as a normal basket but it's fairly obvious when you would have nailed a put on a normal basket and when you wouldn't have.

I like it because it folds up into just bigger than a camping chair. I like to take it camping or on family vacations where there is a lot of space so it fits easily into my van.

Well, thanks! Not sure I've ever been someone's hero.
I use these. Basically they've been my father's day, birthday, and Christmas presents for years now. I still have two holes I'm using lobster buoys for targets, but the end is in sight!

Edit: in the picture on Amazon, they're set up wrong, which is funny. You can set the basket so that it's below the chains

This is the best disc I've found. Holds the flight pattern of a Discraft while still being soft enough to not hurt my pup and it's also fairly indestructable.

I am laughing at the objects he keeps pulling out.

If you have a ton of power especially if you grew up pitching or playing baseball an Aerobi Epic 100% is the best tomahawk disc you can throw. I would put any amount of money that it will go further than any other disc you can tomahawk. I can easily get 400 feet from a tomahawk out of it. The way it works is it will throw like a normal tomahawk disc but then if you can throw it hard enough and high enough it will do a barrel roll mid air and then glide for everrrrrr on its way down and its straight as an arrow. The only problem is good luck finding one, up until recently you could get them on Amazon or wherever I recently looked to pick up 2-3 more and I found a used one on Ebay for $5. Other sellers are asking $100? (lol) Keep an eye on this link hopefully they get more in stock as they sell it for 12-14 bucks.
https://www.amazon.com/Aerobie-Epic-Golf-Disc-Colors/dp/B001EYIQZW

Edit: I did find them on this website but I'm not sure it looks a little sketch like a website right out of the early 2000s. https://playground.epicsports.com/prod/74175/aerobie-epic-golf-disc.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwkoDmBRCcARIsAG3xzl_RIOvhR0m40yiHdFDHROVMTyxQ8p6_EDRR8HRFJA8IwGX8OvkIVVwaAuseEALw_wcB

(Also when they are new they are very very hard to get them to flip over horizontally and will often flip and come down at an angle killing some distance. Either change the angle you release at to compensate and get it to flip correctly or just throw it a bunch let it fall from the sky and break in.)

That’s one of the reasons I like my Throwback All Day bag, it’s unique. The discs go in the outside pockets and the inside is basically a giant cooler. However I am now the designated beer mule for my friends, so that’s a little drawback.

I keep the blue one in my car (actually threw on my lunch break for the first time just a bit ago), other is portable but requires more space and few more steps to assemble. I keep the red one assembled out back, and hide it in the trees when I'm done. Innova is s more narrow shot, the chains on The Pacific Outdoors' unit below throws discs out every once in a while, but is great for practice.

Yay !!!!

Intro to a new hobby!

I want to love it. Aeriobie’s flying rings are absolutely mind boggling.

TIL theres a disc golf course 10 minutes from me. gotta invest in some bees.

EDIT: im thinking of buying these once my new debit card shows up: Discraft Deluxe Disc Golf Set. Is this a good starter set?

Or does anyone have a good set with bag that they want to sell?

Anyone wanna meet up for some rounds? Im only ten minutes away!

Check out the throwback sack, the reviews look great. I want one.

That looks like an Aerobie, I had one of those in the 1980s...

Getting it off the roof is easy though, as per the other comment try getting it off an electricity pylon.

it seemed like the cheapest thing that would be okay. Should that be okay?

It depends on where you are playing. If losing discs is not a concern, I'd get the Champion version of the starter set. They will last longer especially if you hit as many trees as I do. The DX set is also a good set, however, hit a few trees and they start to wear quick.

Hands down, the [DGA Mach Lite] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015O6QSA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sUm7BbDBPYWB2) takes the cake. I’ve had mine for 4 years and it gets used almost every day. I’ve taken it to countless putting, indoor, outdoor, whatever type of leagues/rounds. Still in great condition. Also not that loud for practicing at night while my wife/kids are sleeping.

I was in the same dilemma and after long debate on which one I should buy I ended up going with the Innova Discatcher Traveler for $122 on Amazon and don't regret it for a second.

The quality is so much better than the Franklin Sports and it has real chains. Folds up nicely and includes a carrier bag and all accessories needed to set it up. Spend a little more, you won't regret it.

Have you tried either the Zogoflex Zisc or the Hyperflite Jawz? Those two have held up very well with our Aussie, who shredded the Kong frisbee in minutes.

Edited to add: Looks like Leerburg still has the Chewber in stock

Well I don't know anything about disc golf in Australia, but I'm sure it's around and I would think you could find some discs. Do you have any discs yet? If not, the Innova Starter Set is usually the way to go for beginners. It has a putter, a midrange, and a fairway driver; all of which are versatile discs that are all a beginner really needs for your first couple months of disc golf.

I have a NEW black Innova Deluxe bag with NEW back saver straps.

I won these at a tournament. I'll do both for $50.

We're mid 30's and my husband just bought a mini Frisbee golf set up. It has been up in my living room, on my fireplace, for almost 3 weeks with no sign of it coming down anytime soon.

We're not in our 50's yet, but I think it's a good sign our inner children aren't too far away, either!

I made this thread for this kind of thing

https://www.reddit.com/r/food/comments/3vn0au/medicinal_food_my_superfood_supersmoothie_elixir/

Oh and i also recommend getting a flying disk called an Aerobie. It's astonishing, and so addictive. You can play with him in the park. I once lost a good 6 inches off my waste playing that thing for an hour almost every day.

This one on Amazon is pretty decent and comes in at $100!

These defy the purpose of practicing with a hanging chain. The idea is that if you're able to focus on the chain and hit it when you practice putting, then when you get out on the course and it's time to lay in a put, you'll feel more confident hitting a larger target.

This is what I started with: https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Disc-Golf-3-Disc-Colors/dp/B000Q838XW/ref=sr_1_2

Innova starter set. It comes with a putter, a mid-range and a fairway driver, definitely enough to get started with, and is $22 on Amazon.

Also, consider getting one of these to keep up with any people you play with now who are better then you.

These are probably a better investment than the Innova one based on the heavier weights they tend to come in. You'll still want to throw them if you get Into the game where you'll probably shelf the Innova ones for being too light.

Amazon has some Innova and Discraft starter sets with bags included, like this one:

All the time at like Sport Chalet or Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods. They have starter boxes of like a driver, mid and putt. Usually all DX plastic, but hey it's for starters. This is like the one I see at the most places

My only suggestion is to be an artist. Paperclips and all. You can buy these mini baskets but I'm sure this is to big for you fish tank. http://www.amazon.com/Wham-O-Mini-Frisbee-Golf-Set/dp/B000OWL0X0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343834440&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+disc+golf+basket

I like the innova disccarrier with backpack straps. kindof lets you have the backpack and the satchel if you just loop one arm. I'm a beginner/intermediate too.

this+this

ends up being $85

Innova sells starter kits like this one for about $30. Driver, midrange, putter.

Some courses, especially with water, will have a guy sitting in the parking lot selling used discs that he finds. $5-7 usually. Or if you have a buddy who plays and he's not a dick, he'll probably give you a disc.

I've ordered a couple Pacific Outdoors practice targets. Main advantages are the low cost ($100) relative to other baskets and they're closer to PDGA dimensions than a lot of other practice baskets. Downside is they only come in on color (red), only have one set of chains and while they are portable they're completely metal so more difficult to move around than something like a Skillshot. You can find it on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Pacific-Outdoors-Disc-Golf-Goal/dp/B000ASG0DI/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1450128100&sr=1-1&keywords=pacific+outdoors+disc+golf+goal

This UK Amazon shop has a unbranded Grip Bag for £98.95. Not sure what the deal is as I've never seen an unbranded one but it's an exact match to my bag straight from Grip.

You can get Insteps for $100 or less or any variation of a portable basket for just over a hundred... I have a skill shot and though its smaller than a regular basket after practicing 35 footers on that I feel like I could park a bus in a regular basket.

If materials didn't exceed the price of [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Wham-Mini-Frisbee-Golf-Colors/dp/B000OWL0X0) then I'm ok with it.

I just bought a Throwback Sack
for around $50.

I switched from an old backpack which could comfortably hold just 6-7 discs as well as a couple beers and my 32oz Nalgene water bottle.

This bag is incredible so far. Cooler can hold a six pack and those Ice pack things(Now guess who is designated beer mule for the group), as well as some 10-12 discs, it has two dividers that you can use or not, makes dividing discs up simple and makes them easy to find. Big water bottle holder for my nalgene, and a putter pocket on the outside so my main putter is always accessible.

Only downside is the strap could be longer, but if it was, my disc towel would drag on the ground.

Also calling the disc a frisbee is considered a totally noob thing. But like wook said you are aiming for a basket with chains

Other than the classic 175g ultimate disc, you could grab one of these throwing rings from Aerobie, I believe it still holds the world record for being the farthest object thrown by a human.

I don't know much about the quality, but the Throwback Sports bags have coolers.

The old version of backpack used the entire main compartment. The newer one has insulated side pockets. There's also a smaller bag with less disc storage.

I had the same problem, but I think that's an Aerobie.

I use a frisbee made by aerobie that is a ring type, the outer edges are rubber but the inner ring that gives the frisbee its shape is made of hard plastic. They aren't the most durable frisbee but my dogs use them daily and it stands up to their chewing and quick games of tug with it for about 2-3 months before needing replaced.

Chuck-it makes several types of fabric frisbees, but I've never used them so I don't know how well they would hold up.

There is a company that does a Grip Rippoff and sells it without logo, doesn't get much simpler than that. Also very cheap. But as it goes with Ripp offs though, I'm a bit doubtful about the quality.

Funny story. My mom got it for my brother's kids. Some reason my (obviously anal parent with control issues) brother won't allow his kids to play disc golf. They're 10. and 8 yo. I don't know why... The worst part is, he has a disc golf course in his backyard. That's not an exaggeration, look at the hole #7 picture: http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=4731. The house with the white fence is his!

I guess after you've seen his house, you can tell what ideologies he probably subscribes to...

Anyway, he rejected it... I...The one who actually plays disc golf got it instead. This is it: http://www.amazon.com/Wham--Mini-Frisbee-Golf-Colors/dp/B000OWL0X0 just different colors.

I just started playing a few months ago and bought the DX Innova beginner set (link here). Highly recommend it. I started out throwing just the putter & midrange, and then worked my way up to the fairway driver. The DX plastic is really fine for beginners. I actually like it. Not afraid to beat it up since they are my first discs. Now that I have worked on my form and have my style down, I can choose specific discs to add to my bag.

I have the [Mach Lite] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015O6QSA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_RDlaCbCXRG8PK) and it's so great. I can fold it up and take it with me for practice very easily. It was a bit pricier than I had intended, but I have zero regrets. Being able to fold it up compared to most rigid frame baskets is a huge plus. It's sturdy as hell and I can see it lasting for a long time since I always keep it stored in the folded configuration. Seriously give this a thought.
