PUTT &
APPROACH
The best players started throwing Putters first. These are designed to go short and straight. They encourage good form and will stick to the chains much better than Mids and Drivers. A good putter is great start for any player.
Mid
RANGE
Great for anyone wanting to get started or those only wanting to have one disc. Owning a Mid Range disc first will make you progress much faster and therefore enjoy disc golf even more. Perfect starting point! Sure, they won’t go as far but they are easy to throw and very forgiving compared to the Drivers, so you won’t be throwing your new plastic away in the bush somewhere.
Fairway / Control
DRIVER
This category is great to step up when you are ready to start and throw a bit further. They still have a higher error rate than the Mid Ranges so don’t rush to get one until you feel ready. If you are a natural sportsperson wanting to start playing Disc Golf and only wanted one disc, then you could get away with any of these Beginner Fairway Drivers.
DISTANCE
DRIVER
Don’t be fooled into getting a Driver until you are confident you can throw. They might go further “sometimes” but they also go wrong real quick if you don’t have basic skills. If you are unsure, grab a Fairway Driver above instead!
