For GF, the beauty is that nothing 'disc' is familiar to her, but she's eager to join me on the course. I've played disc sports all my life, she doesn't know 'frisbee'.

Thanks very much for your suggestions.
No prob, just letting you know that the info is there if you dig for it.

Actually, your best bet might be getting one of those Discraft beginner packs that have like the APX, D Buzzz, and I think Wildcat, so that she can try out a few options to see what she takes to best.

The innova starter pack comes in a 150 class version with a cheetah, shark and aviar iirc, also a pretty good option for a beginner like that.

I was thinking a light Buzzz and a pink Ion.

But the starter pack is a great idea, too. Thanks to both of you.

Pro has durability between DX and star, and has good glide. usually costs about 10$. Proline is old Champion, between CE and champion, and is valued more than champion. It has the durability of champion / CE.

heavier discs for a newb

I use a 150 leopard and throw ok with it. I got a 150 because i heard heavier weights are for veterans. what are some symptoms that my disc is too advanced? what would happen if i threw a 175 nuke? would i still like it or would it just suck?

thanks.
