Do you carry a "throw away " disc?
I was playing a course one day, and I lost a $17 disc, and was not happy about it. I decided to starting carrying a DX Valk, and throw it on holes where there is a chance I might loose my disc. I can get them at the local sporting goods store for about $7 , and I would rather loose a cheap disc that I can easily replace, than a nice disc that I really like. Does anyone else do this?

I've done it on holes where water is very in play. I'll go as far as throwing a DX disc instead of a Champion cause I know the DX is cheaper to replace but also won't last as long. I mean unless you're playing competitively I don't see a point in risking a $17 disc over a $7.

That is what I do. It just makes common sense to me. Why risk your $15+ disc if there is a good chance of it getting lost when you could only lose a $7 or so disc.

I actually painted a disc just for shots where there is a possibility of losing a disc but now I actually like it a lot. It's a Millennium Polaris LS, I call it my safety disc.

I use an old dragon for water shots. I also keep a dx Wraith in my that I could live without if I lost it.

I carry a DX Valkyrie for water shots myself. Actually I lost that at hole 14 (Como park) a few weeks ago. I'm throwing a DX Beast over water these days. I usually use that for thumbers and tommys over trees. I'll get a DX Valk again when I go to the sports store. I've been meaning to pick up a dragon but 150g seems so light and what help will it be if it's floating in the middle of a pond or sunk in the middle of one?

I carry several Lightning Discs that float, plus a Dragon, if there is water on the course that I'm playing. My home course has some magnetic water, but it doesn't seem to work on floating discs. Strange, very strange...

odyssey puts out several floaters that weigh as much as in the low 170's.
