Best Discs for a Beginner in Disc Golf | Building a Beginner's Bag

- Опубликовано: 19 май 2024
- There are currently over 1,400 molds approved by the PDGA which means there are a few options to consider when trying to build your bag. The tricky part is...not all of these discs are meant for beginners. Having the right disc in your hand can be the difference between you falling in love with the sport or quitting out of frustration early on.
Today I want to comb through some of the most popular manufacturers and give you a host of options to consider for discs that can work for beginners. Not only do I believe these discs are best for beginners, but I stand by their effectiveness as I have recommended each disc on this list to a player at one point in time. We've learned from the last time we did a video like this, and I'm hopeful that we've put together a solid list people can look to for years to come! What discs would I recommend? You'll have to watch to find out!!

Thanks for Watching! Can't wait to hear yall's suggestions!!
Being sponsored by Innova, are you allowed to recommend different companies? Like saying gyro goes farther? Genuinely curious. I don't care either way. Awesome vid 😁🥏🥏🥏⛳
@@johnshepherd6925 I was also curious about that. But was very encouraged that he was able to not be biased and recommend so many companies
It’s funny how there’s a good amount of discs that you mentioned that I currently bag! I’ve been playing for about 2 years and and currently bagging the buzzz, paradox, essence, signal and hatchet. And at one point was bagging the underworld, avenger SS and the diamond. They once flew straight for me and now are my go too hyzer flip disc or roller discs. Love the vids!
@@johnshepherd6925 I stand firm in my mission to provide helpful information to the community first! I want you to know I don’t recommend Innova because I have to but because I truly choose to!
Where can I buy one of those awesome Pig shirts?
Latitude 64 River and Sapphire. Great glide. Easy to throw.
Jade too
I'm taking my 65 year old dad out lately. He has no throw speed and tends to put too much angle on a backhand, just follows his line. Amy recs?
@@seantremblay6438 Latitude Jade or Diamond for a driver. Fuse for a midrange. All are under stable and easy to get up to speed for slower arms. I would not get him anything faster than 9 speed for sure.
Both are staples in my innova dominate bag. The saint fills the threesome. My beat in Saint is amazing for long straight tight fairways.
Yeah - was surprised the underworld was the rec vs the river. But that understable for beginners a nice plus.
We've loved watching your advice, production quality, and game improve over the past couple years! Thanks for being such a great resource for the sport!
The Fuse! Bought it as an understable mid range that I could get to go straight when I fist built a bag. As I've grown I've acquired other discs but the fuse is a staple that won't leave my bag. Tall panning hyzers, flip ups, slow to fast working turn overs, fore hand or back hand I love this disc.
Fuse is so crucial. Out of the box turnovers and easy anhyzers. I actually found that the swan felt just like the fuse except in putter form so between those 2 under stable is locked down!
If you're willing to spend the money to get one, JohnE McCray's 2020 tour series disc is the ultimate iteration of the fuse. The opto-x chameleon moonshine plastic is perfect. Same with the 2020 Kristin Tattar tour series pure, it's a putter fuse.
@@tylerbickell5576 I got one in a misprint variety pack and it's my favorite disc in my bag. I can't imagine my game without it!
So happy you mentioned Mako3. Mine is now to a point its like I have a joystick controlling it. Im going to look for an underworld. Great video.
Mako 3 is my putter... In the wind, it gives me much more confidence than normal putters
I originally picked up an Innova Vroc to replace a starter set disc (when I knew nothing other than I needed to get a disc that said "mid-range" on it...) and I've loved it ever since. Very comfortable, beats in nicely, and can be used for all different kinds of shot shapes when you're ready to try them. Probably gonna get a new one soon to compliment my ~1 year old, beat in Vroc!
Robbie, great video. Your love for the game always comes through on you videos!!!
I'm really glad to see the signal get more love. I've bagged one for a while now and it is a "go to" disc for me.
The Proxy is so great! Started bagging one a couple months ago and I can't imagine playing without one now, especially on wooded courses. Very workable, can throw long high hyzers, dead straight flip ups and slow turnovers and it flies as long as a lot of mids do for me. Definitely my favorite disc.
Anything with a -3 or -4 turn number. As an older player with a slower arm, I use a Pearl, Diamond, Paradox, and Underworld. All highly understable, but all go slightly to the right or dead straight. For people with more arm speed, those discs make for great hyzer-flip discs, or for touch anhyzers.
I've had three people impressed with the Diamond. I prefer Latitude 64's Opto plastic, but choose whatever you like. Another midrange I'd recommend is Latitude 64 Compass. It holds well with the wind. It keeps a straight reliable line and gives a nice light fade. The fade is a 1 and is consistent to help with your approach.
Recently, I've bagged an MVP Volt and recommend it for when you need to approach and have a bigger fade or further distance.
the underworld is so nice. It would definitely be my choice of driver for any beginner, slow arm or not. it just keeps going and going.
Thanks for the birthday video! I love it when content engages new players. Keep up the awesome videos.
Thanks Robbie for all the great content. As a beginner disc golf player being introduced to the game via my grandkids, I have been through a lot of discs building my bag, many that you mentioned. I didn’t have success until I discovered the importance of lightweight and ultralight discs. I had a breakthrough in my game discovering “Dino” discs from Infinite Discs. Flipping them over and seeing ABC and Gateway as their manufacturer lead me to finding discs from 110 to 130 range with discs that can be understable to neutral to overstable. I’ve since started recommending Gateway starter pack lightweights of Spear, Element and Wizard. My peers and I are not hoping to get stronger with more arm speed in the next 5 years, but rather hoping to be physically able to walk the courses in 5 years. These lightweight discs are the best for senior beginners.
And my wife now dislikes your videos but I love them. Thank you for helping out us beginners with everything your channel has taught me.
Sorry to hear I upset the wife!!
The Innova TL was the first fairway driver that really clicked with me. It's incredibly neutral with a bit of fade at the end. I bag three of them as well as three TL3s, all in different plastics and levels of wear
One of the first real disc someone let me use, besides a starter set, was a Saint. I still use it today. My most reliable disc for sure.
Love the essence. It’s a great option for downwind or still air. Origin is great too... and of course the mako3. Lot of great recommendations there Robbie. And yes, the pig.
Great list of some wonderful beginner discs for folks. I just recently found the essence and freaking love it! Also the origin is great!
I'm glad Innova let's you discuss other brands. I was worried about that when you signed.
I love this channel! I have been playing now for about a month and change and so far I found my favorite 2 discs are my axiom hex : 5,5,-1,1 and my axiom crave : 6.5,5,-1,1. Both have been giving me decent distance and control. I like them in neutron and fission plastic. Try them out! Thank you Robbie for helping me learn the game!
I love the discraft brand just like many others, and yes, I have three buzzzes in my bag at all times, and yes, I would recommend the buzzz for a beginner, but if you want to see the same flight that some more experienced players are getting out of their buzzz, then the buzzz ss or the meteor is a great option as well. Just slightly more under stable version of the buzzz.
Thanks for finally recognizing the pig as a great disc, I recently picked up a “War Pig” and it is so clutch on up shots!
I think the dynamic disc putter Prime Judge is one of my favorite discs as a beginner . It had such a solid and straight flight path and cuts through wind like butter.
came down to say this! I love this putter as a very new player!
Great video again I have learned so much from your channel. My beginner bag is Roadrunner, Firebird, Insanity, Relay, Leopard, Wombat3, Buzz SS, Mako 3, Jack Rabbit, Luna, Bullet. Predominantly Forehand player. But of the above the hardest for me to throw is the Wombat3 forehand 80% of the time it cut rolls on me.
I love the Invader! Got a Luster Champ one for Christmas and it's so fun. Also recently got one of those Big Z Fierces and like it a lot.
Love me some envys of all plastics, and the lat 64 fuse is another great one
I appreciate you bringing up the gyros! I'm on my second Paradox after Inverness swallowed my other one 😅 the gyro brands have felt awesome out of the hand. The Insanity is the beginner driver I have fallen in love with too!
A local shop pointed me towards the (Innova) Manta and Archangel as a beginner and I definitely appreciated that.
LOVE the Pig! It's become my most trusted for parking close to the basket (if not in) when in between a fairway disc and usual putter.
I think this is a great video. And, I didn't hate the first one you made. We're all learning and growing as a community. I did want to add that I think the Vandal is a great disc for beginners from Dynamic Discs. I also really think the EMAC Truth is a mid that should have been covered.
Great recs! The origin is probably the touchiest midrange I've ever tried. It seemed to turn too much when I didn't want it too and was always turning in a different part of its flight for me. Probably a great beginner disc but would much rather have the dependability of a buzzz!
I have all the Discmania discs you mentioned and can confirm they're great. Another disc I really love as a beginner is Mentor, especially the cheapest plastic version (Active Soft?). It's a really good forehand disc and the material provides a solid grip even on rainy days.
As a new player I worked with the local tournament director and he recommended the Lucid Maverick, a fairway driver that has opened up a lot of distance and some hyzer flips for me. I got it in the Lucid Air plastic for the lighter weight so i could throw it faster. Been playing for 3 months and can throw the Maverick 50ft further than most of my bag.
Challenger SS! DX Roc! Star Aviar! And the Bounty is an awesome disc as well, I’ve gotten a lot better since I’ve started using it and it will never be replaced as the under stable mid in my bag.
I wasn't a fan of my starter pack Aviar so I tried out the DD Warden in classic plastic for my putter. As a former ultimate player, I love how the warden feels so close to an ultimate disc and has just a 0.5 fade. I use classic for putting and classic blend for throwing.
The DGA Sail was a good beginner driver for me. And makes a good roller after you've out grown it.
You're absolutely right about a Mako 3.
I've been considering trying a pig.
Thanks to your Jedi Mind trick, I think I'll get 5 of them.
I know it doesn't get mentioned at all (much like the champion groove) but the pig is a great option for beginners. It even has a thumb track. Just something to consider.
Dude I love your videos you’ve taught me so much thank you
I bagged a Essence and a Underworld must say the fit me like a glove 😀👍🏻 thanx for the tip RC
Robbie I got really worried that you would only recommend Innova. However, this was a fair and balanced video. Well done. Thanks for the tips.
My favorite beginner level discs would the Pure, Fuse and River. Very smooth and very forgiving. Alot of good options available. Love the videos. Always informative and entertaining.
All three of those discs are in my bag.
@@Double2KK mine as well. I never leave home without them
Great discs! Although the river might be a bit too overstable for a complete beginner, I would recommend a Lat64 Maul ( 7, 7, -2, 1)
@@Talzi. good call. I often recommend a DD Warrant to beginners. It was and still is a go to disc for me as far as midrange go.
@@Talzi. A River is 7, 7, -1, 1. Not overstable at all. You release that thing flat and it will fly a mile for a beginner.
lat 64 diamond in a lighter wt (less than 160g) is the straightest, glidiest driver I've thrown. I've outgrown it but still bag it since you can just throw easy and watch it gently turn forever. It never wobbles and just looks great coming out of the hand. My favorite starter driver to date.
Axiom disc insanity is one of my favorite right now. I’m currently in the step between beginners and decent… and I love this disc
This is a great video, my favorite of yours yet
The pig is my favorite disc. So useful in different situations, and it's my go to for putting.
Innova monarch is my favorite driver so far, after playing for about six months. It's understable, with just a little fade at the end for me. Great for forehand and backhand. Just a nice reliable driver. I even like the weird rim.
Good video...funny thing is that I bought an Innova Eagle a couple of months in...after I bought the Mako 3. The Eagle is a decent first headwind driver....and if you have to play in the wind. A Roc 3 is a great midrange as well..again for wind. I need to recommend some Latitude 64...they are my favorite company. For a beginner...I really like the Keystone as a putter. Great glide and you can throw on any line. Midrange I really like the Latitude 64 Fuse. Lots of glide and slightly understable. For a fairway driver a good grow into disc would be the River. Great glide and fairly straight.
When I was learning I was a huge fan of the sidewinder and avenger ss. Both are easy to hyzer flip and get full s curves out of which is always fun. Best part is that you don't progress past using them because as your speed and form improves they can both become your roller disc.
You nailed it.. I would add a Shark, but you already have all the shots covered.
I think you nailed the Discmania discs.
Sensei is great throwing putter
Origin is actually more similar to the bounty than the buzz but a phenomenal disc
Essence is absolute money
I'm naturally pretty athletic and have been playing disc golf fr only about a month now. But I have got my hands on some discs I've fell in love with... Leopard 3 from Innova, and the Axis by MVP (similar to the buzz)also.... dope video. thank you for making it to help people like me.
Hi Robbie- This was my first vid to find a putter to start with and since I've added a midrange Westside Warship, which is my go-to utility do everything disc, and an Innova Valkyre which is becoming a great distance driver for me. Warships and Valkyres are great beginner discs.
Westside Hatchet, along with the Innova Roadrunner as some of my beginner disc, as you have already detailed the Heat. Some other disc that I think get overlooked because they are in an actual starter kit is the Escape and Truth but in better plastics.
I'm kinda surprised that the Leopard3 didn't make your list....hhuumm.
Oh well, you did cover some great alternatives that consider some looking into and I thank you for that.❤❤
Maybe you can help me out with finding out about a disc I have that doesn't have a model stamp, all I know is that it is a 11,5,-3,1 made by innova.
As a new disc golfer, you have helped.
Keep them videos coming.
Westside Discs Seer is the first disc I watched hyzer flip out of my hands. I didn't even know what a hyzer flip was at the time. Great disc for small hands.
For a really cheap, really far, really beginner disc, the Discmania Genius is perfect. Got me to 275' for the first time!
Yes yes yes! I work in a disc shop and this is one of my go to recommendations. Another one that’s odd is the RPM PekaPeka
I received the RPM starter set which includes a PekaPeka for xmas, haven't been willing to start in the snow and lose one of my 3 discs lol, so hoping to get out and give it a spin soon.
Bounty! The best understable mid! I like the Bounty's flatter feel compared to the Tursas or Fuse. Also, the Essence is an amazing 9 speed driver, sneaky glide and very controllable
Gotta get into how the flight changes with different weights! Also we are in northern New mex, 6700 ft elv. Discs fly so overstable up here! Even worse when it's cold!! Lots of factors when considering Discs!!
Total newb here, my bag contains an Avenger ss, mvp single, macko 3, Malta and two roach putters. So far I enjoy the avenger and macko , next up will prob be a Buzzz and Zone to try out. Thanks for the vids!!
The first thing I bought was the innova 5 disc starter pack and while the destroyer is 12 speed it actually went further than the other discs right from the start. There was a brief period as I improved my form where the teebird and leopard went almost as far, however, it was really cool as a new player to have a disc that could reach 250 feet from the start. I think a lot of new players could be well served by a good distance driver. The other disc that was really special for me was the wizard. It was a big improvement for me personally as a new player learning to putt.
Zone > Pig. Love that you included the Essence though. I fell in love with the disc after I picked it up and aced with it on my third ever throw with it.
great points about alternative discs that fly similar to others for much cheaper. for all you sexton firebird / capraptor throwers, a replacement DD felon is very similar and in lots of plastics even misprints. all kinds of similar stuff around
Latitude 64 Pure for throwing putter. It is shallower for the smaller hand players as well. Just stick to base plastics (their zero line) and it will be easier to throw at first. If you absolutely want premium plastic, I've found Gold Line to be less stable than Opto (and much easier to find currently).
I’ll definitely say for beginners, the trilogy line up has everything you’re looking for! I’ll also say, if the bounty doesn’t feel quite right in your hand, try the tursas! It’s a great compliment to the bounty that feels a bit different. And as you grow you could even bag both! I’d also say, if the paradox feels a little too big in your hands and want a smaller profile, try a Kon Tiki by infinite! This is my number one recommendation for beginners because you can find them in cheaper plastics and it’s just so comfortable in the hand! For a putter option I’d definitely suggest the Pure! It’s a great slightly understable option like the proxy with a different feel in hand :)
Robbie, love the content! Keep it comin!
This is why I love trilogy
Axiom Crave is a great beginner disc as well in my opinion. (And it’s a gyro👍)
The disc that really helped my game take off was the Innova DX Beast. Pretty readily available and once you've gotten the DX plastic down, you can move up to the Pro or Champion plastics. I still have one of each plastics in my bag today.
love the beast, had my champ one for a while now
My favorite disc as a beginner is Lat64 Pure. It’s a straight flying putter and available in many different plastics. I’m one year into my disc golf journey and still love throwing the pure.
I bought a set of discs that are not well known at all, After learning what type of discs a beginner should have I purchased a starter set from Innova. I really like these discs and they are easier to use than the first set I bought. I recently purchased a Mako3 to help me understand how I am releasing my discs and that should help me learn as I play.
Heats were my favorite driver for a long time. Since getting somewhat better the Passion has taken over for similar lines. It's just a very long buzz for me. I still bag 2 heats though. 1 is super beat in for crazy woods needs, and the other is just a nice slow anny mover.
For reference for my disc reccs, my form still is a work in progress, max distance 370, average accurate drive is 315. I have an almost full discraft bag (still can't get me away from star wraiths), but my most used discs are passions, buzzz, wraiths, Lunas, and my new favorite is the new C line MD3. Once that beats in it just might make the buzzzes jealous. For reference on a flat line it's 200ft an in Luna, 190-240 buzzz/md3, 230-300 passion, 270-330 wraith. There is of course some overlap depending on course, elevation, woods, and just how the arm is feeling each round.
As a beginner currently, I’ve fallen in love with the innova manta it’s 5,5,-2,1 it’s a great disc to get to fly straight and I’ll get it consistently between 240-275 with correct form
One disc I have fallen in love with is my Latitude 64 Opto Jade. This disc is my favorite it flies straight and with only 2 months of experience, I could not recommend it more. I also use the deputy putter and patiently waiting for my Fuse to arrive to give it a couple of throws.
All you need is lov... Proxy.
We just got a stock refill on those eclipse's and boy em i thrilled.
Awesome recommendations. I throw a base line Sensei and it is way less domey than the active plastic if you want less glide!
great video! would be cool if you included footage of you throwing the discs you recomend. just a little box in the top corner or something. thanks
RIVER and SAPHIRE/DIAMOND… PERIOD. Opto-Ice RIVER and SAPHIRE/DIAMOND!!!!! Great video btw bro 💯💯
I just wanted to state that I have found a lot of love for the diamond, the saphire and the tern, and then to throw in a mid range my wolf is a fantastic approach disc. I know that the speed of these are probably above that threshold you mentioned but they are some of my most favorite discs out there.
The Wolf is my tricky disc and I could never imagine life without it. Use it for quick turning tomahawks and short hard to the left forehand rollers. Good edge for holding onto hillsides too
Got a DX Valkyrie as my first driver and it taught me to throw wonderful s-curves really fast. It gave me enough frustration at first but rewarded me with 300' drivers after a couple of weeks.
Now it's super beat it and a perfect roller disc that I can throw flat out of my hand and will turn over all the way.
A Vroc for super straight flights from the start.
A Kastaplast Falk, perfect Fairway Driver to grow into, slightly straighter than a Valkyrie and glides forever.
A Innova Nova for putting and learning how to throw. It has a lot of glide and will not forgive bad releases. It really pushed me to get more spin into my throws, if you're ambitious, it's the perfect practice disc.
Try the DX Leopard if you want a easy to throw a stable disc
My 5 first discs were a Macana from Latitude, a Reactor from MVP, a River from Latitude in retro burst plastic, a pretty beat in saint pro and a discmania fever. Still in love with the reactor and the saint pro. The fever was my first disc to make 250ft from stand still.
I recently bought some beginner discs for a friend of mine, got him a Ruby a Pearl and a River from Latitude
Finally someone gives the Underworld the credit it deserves!
My go-to disc on turnover holes.
That yellow wasp in the background ended up in my bag! My bag is a celeb now!
I just got my first ace yesterday with a proxy. Feels good man.
For discmania, my recommendation would be a genius, it's an understable fairway that helps beginners throw straight and once u get some power they are great beginner rollers as well
Hey Robbie! This video is awesome and extremely informative. Is there any chance I can get your permission to make a QR code out of it and put it out in my shop?
Go ahead!! If that would help!
the wombat3 and the roc were my starter mids and the leopard was my starter fairway. ive switched out the roc for an Emac truth and i just bought a few understable drivers to test against the leopard, but ive kept the wombat3 for shorter turnover and short roller shots
Iron city shop looking nice with more space!
Valkyrie , TL 3 , Orc and Beast Leopard 3 and Dragon ....Finishing with Hatchet , Under World , Assassin , Mako 3 and Wombat ...And Finally The Voodoo , Swan , and The Birdie 1200 and I'm a Left Handed Backhand only and Putt Right Handed within 25ft is my Range as a Beginner of 18mo....Wish There Were More Left Handed Tutorials 😥....Thanks Robbie C for Making It More Understanding as a Newby Doobie 🤘🤘🤘
Definitely recommend the dragon because it’s good and can float. My local course is in a public park and is short and small but you have to throw over a lake
Lol. Noticed the shirt at the very end. Thanks for the recs!
Okay so this is a great video. Im very new but its tough to know how many discs i need as a minimum to get started :)
Gateway element is an amazing, strait to understable midrange that is great for players of all skill levels.
I was about to tell you how sad I was that you didn’t recommend and prodigy but I just read your comment about the original video and I have decided to let it slide this time!! Great video as always!!
🤣🤣 I loved my original suggestions for Prodigy so much it was hard to not just repeat myself there!!
I just watched this video again and I finally started throwing a pig a few weeks ago it's actually a really fun disc to throw and thanks also mirage is a great disc by Innova
Westside discs Warship! It's a hyzerflip machine, has a low speed requirement, goes ridiculously far with 6 glide, and is a great disc for beginner and experienced player alike!
I really like my Pilot for putters. I use it a lot for approach shots as I can shape it easily. For fairways, I like my Leopard3. Can’t go wrong with the Buzz for the midrange.
I have to admit that I was very skeptical about buying a Pig. I avoided it for almost 2 years. I tried 3-4 other overstable putters. I finally decided to give the R-Pro Pig a chance. In 3 weeks, it has become my "Precious Child" 😁. I now use it for almost everything, except actually putting, from 250' and in to the basket. The R-Pro plastic is grippy thus making ground play very consistent, ONE skip, that is all...nothing else. The rim is very thick and fits my hands perfectly. The rounded outer edge makes it great for my favorite escape shot, the forehand roller.
Dude, the Emac Truth is a god-like disc and can't believe yo...*sees pinned comment of original list*...am super proud you recommended it. XD
A great first three would be an innova aviar, Lat64 retro fuse, and disc mania active genius. All will fly straight to slightly left of a RHBH and later in reach you to throw super satisfying, awesome looking hyzer flips. Then getting something like a compass, mako3, and teebird are just a step up
For a slight step up from the 9 speed area I think the Westside Tp Sword is an absolutely perfect first true "distance" driver for lower arm speed guys n' gals!
Love you Robbie. You are a beast!
the non disc golfer friends I have played with loved the roc when I have played with them. Other ones are the warship and valkyrie and last but not least. everyone I know starting out, loves the p2. a consistent stability is something they can really count on when their angle control or ability to read the wind isn't the best.
I know it's probably here somewhere but I don't want to scroll that far... Innova Valkyrie, It was the first disc I ever bought, at first I hated it because I couldn't throw it well but once I started getting better and into now even it's my favorite disc. It fits all the numbers as a 9,4,-2,2. I can't say enough at how well this disc flies for me now that I am a little better at my game. I currently have 5 of them in my bag.
I was surprised by how much the plastic type affects the stability. My favorite disc and first disc I ever lost was my Innova Star Mako3. I couldn't find a replacement anywhere at the time and ended up picking up a Innova XT Mako3 that felt similar. But this is SOOOooo understable I turn it over constantly, even if I release it on a hyzer that it's no longer in my back (throwing a Buzzz SS and Infinite Chariot now). Same mold, different plastic went from favorite disc to least favorite disc.
