Beginner Discs

When first starting out, picking a disc can be very difficult with all of the different choices available. For newer players, I recommend starting with three discs. A driver, a midrange, and a putter is best. I personally recommend beginners start with an understable driver, understable/stable midrange, and a stable putter that feels good in the hand. These discs will give you an idea of what to expect from other discs later on. Understable discs will get more distance for beginners with low power throws. I will give some examples of great starter discs, but first I want to explain what the four numbers are that you will sometimes see on discs. For example, you will see a disc that says 7,5,0,2. Your probably wondering what the heck does this even mean. The first number is the speed of the disc. The higher the first number, the faster the disc. The second number stands for Glide. Glide is the amount of float the disc has in the air. The higher the number, the longer it will float in the air. The third number stands for Turn also known as high speed stability. Don't worry about the lingo too much from the get go. Turn stands for how much the disc will turn to the right if you are throwing right handed, or how much to the left if you are throwing left handed. Beginners can expect a straighter flight with an under stable disc. Look for a negative number. This way your disc doesn't always just go and die off.  Finally, the fourth number stands for Fade. Fade is how much the disc will fade at the end of the flight. The higher the number, the more fade. Below are a list of great beginner discs.
