Dynamic Discs Golf Store: 10-Year Anniversary/Holiday Sale

7/6/-1/1 for example

First number is speed (7)- how fast the disc cuts through the air. Faster discs have higher distance potential but require more arm speed to control and actually reach the necessary power to make the disc fly properly. Speeds range from 1-14.

Second number is glide (6)- how long the disc holds in the air. Glide typically ranges from 1-6 although I think 1 manufacturer got crazy and made a 7 glide disc- that would be almost like a catch frisbee.

Third number (-1) is high speed turn. This is how much the disc moves in the direction of its spin at high speeds. If you're throwing right hand backhand this is how much the disc moves to the right in the early portion of the flight. The lower the number (-4 or -5) the more the disc will move. Ranges from +1 (disc never moves right and starts moving in the opposite direction) to -5 (disc moves a lot). Discs with lower high speed turn (-4 or -5) are easier to throw for beginners and lower arm speeds.

Final number is fade (1). This is how hard the disc dumps at the end of its flight. This would fall left for a right hand backhand throw. Beginners with lower arm speeds want a lower number here (0 or 1) unless you're specifically looking for a disc that curves more or fights the wind. Numbers range from 0-5.

Have fun.

I don't need anything there, but thumbs up just for posting DG deals ... nice to see!

The starter sets are fine from any manufacturer. They'll typically include a mid range, putter, and lower speed driver. Sometimes it's nice to be able to select your own weights- I've seen too many starter sets that end up with all 3 discs around 150g. This is really tough for a putter especially.

From Dynamic Discs, If I were buying 3 discs I'd say go Judge (putter) Fuse (mid range) and Warship (Fairway Driver). These are all easier to throw discs. Get the judge at 175g, the Fuse around 170g and the Warship around 165g.

If you buy from somewhere else, Innova is the largest manufacturer. I'd recommend aviar (putter) /mako 3 (mid)/leopard (fairway driver)

Good luck, if you're anything like the rest of us, you'll be buying way more discs in no time.
