[Question] Disc for wife who just wants to have fun
- Thread starter MaineDisc
- Start date
I was going to mention the DGA Squall in 150 class, easy to throw for female beginners and it bombs, she could putt with it as well.
That was what I bought my wife, and she hated the way it felt in her hand. She's throwing and loving a 153 Relay and a 15? DX Gazelle. I also tracked down a 150ish Buzzz which she does OK with, and she's switching back and forth between the Whale and the Roach for her putter. I'm noticing that with her smaller hands anything much beyond a 6 speed is uncomfortable for her, and shallow putters seem to be her favorite. Trying to get her to use the "right" disc for any given situation is a waste of time. The more I leave her alone and just let her throw, the more she wants to come play.

Sounds like she might like the Colt, Stud, Mirage class of discs.

At those distances I would get her a Super Class disc (SuperHero, Zephyr, Pulsar). Those are all easier to throw than anything else already mentioned.

LAT 64 DIAMOND or JADE for more stable. Really though the Diamond would be a great choice

I just don't understand how anyone could hate the feel of a Leo and love a Gazelle. I must have poor nerve endings.
Good points. My wife tried a lot of discs (since I was trying to get her to try them) but eventually she found she liked a beat-up DX Leopard. I'm not sure of the weight. Point is, she should like how it feels and how it flies for her. Then leave well enough alone. She's super happy playing a one-disc round, and putts with the leopard more than with her putter.
I obviously enjoy the "disc-choice" game way more than she does, as well as the "get and try new plastic" game...

My girlfriend is like this too, and I just bought her her first two discs, so I'll throw in my 2 cents. The discs I got her are working out well:
150's MVP atom for putting (she is nailing putts with this thing so nonchalantly...its great)
150's dx stingray for approaches (she doesn't even wanna throw tee-shots yet)
Make sure they're pink, too.
I almost got her a Lightning rubber putter or upshot because they come in cool pink/purple swirly colors.

Yeah, I've mostly given up on that...mostly. :wall: It is hard to completely give up--my wife is more athletically gifted than I am. If she would really pay attention to that stuff, put in the time, take it seriously, etc., she could easily be better than me and, I believe, be quite competitive in tournaments.
She took the Opto Diamond that I wasn't using--whatever possessed me to buy a dark purple sparkle? :doh: --and has done very well with it. She also took my Blowfly and an extra Blowfly II, and bags a Rubber Putter. I replaced the Blowfly and got an easier to see Diamond...and she took the new Diamond, bagging and using both Diamonds. <sigh>

Pearl is great. Also lat makes them in the retro plastic. MUCH better than the opto.
Mine girl has an opto pearl and a retro pearl. for her arm, the retro is awesome. She gets a real S and on a good toss almost 200ft. The opto is a like a gator for her. no
I can control both disc fine. They are very flippy.
Dx type plastic is just so good for beginners.
She also really liked a 150 leopard before I lost it.

Sounds like you got it covered with what's in the mail.... just wanted to toss in 150 Wedge as one of the ultimate beginner discs.. I bought one for the kid and it's a lot of fun to throw, I'd consider bagging one if I wasn't on the MVP train.
