First Disc(s) ever bought

[B3NDER]

I posted a thread asking everyone what their favorite disc was, now what I would like to know is what was the first disc or discs you ever bought, and do you still own them now? Why did you buy them? Did you read up on them or have them recommended to you? Also if you remember where you bought them, you could post that too. Can't wait to read some of the answersopcorn:

My first discs I ever bought were:
A White Innova Star Wraith (175 g)
A White Innova DX Rhyno (dont remember weight)

I bought the Star Wraith simply because I liked the name, and the way it felt in my hand...
and I bought the Rhyno because I knew I'd need some kind of putter....and that was the least crappy of the ones they had to choose from.

I own them both still, and use the Wraith for a sidearm disc ALL the time.
I didn't know anything about disc golf, aside from the fact that I was tired of using other peoples "loaner" discs. And I honestly don't have a clue where I bought them, it was some hole in the wall little place.

2.5 years ago I had never heard of disc golf, and had seen the baskets but never knew their purpose.

Me and my friend were hanging out one day and he mentions the game to me. Tells me I should try it out. I told him it sounded dumb but I'm always down to try new things.

So a few days later we stop by Quonset Hut and I pick up a Star Leopard. That was my first disc, followed shortly by a Star Aviar.

I was horrible at first (Who isn't?) but as I learned how to throw the Leopard remained my go to driver for months. It was my favorite disc for a long time. The Aviar on the other hand I never liked, and when it rolled into the water one day I just left it there.

My first disc was a 169 beat Champ Sidewinder I bought from my bro, and I'm really kicking myself for selling it 1) because it was my first disc I just want to have it, wish I'd have thought of that before I sold it and 2) I REALLY need a disc to learn long distance rollers.

Wish I still had my Roc. Not to throw but I have so many disc now it would be cool to go "Yeah that's my first one". I either sold it to the PIAS in Hickory or it lies somewhere in the woods behind my house.

 

[Star Shark]

My first 3 were a 150 dx valk, blue with a rainbow stamp.... a 169 roc, white with rainbow stamp and a 170 aviar, white with a prismatic stamp. I lost the valk a couple of months in and replaced it with a pearly blue pro tl 164g

 

[UTTERBACK]

Star skeeter and pro pig. Don't have either of them now. I had some of my brothers discs as loners for a bit, but these were MY first ones. I wanted the straightest disc I could get based on innova's flight chart so I got the skeeter in star because to a new player star is the best plastic. I got the pig because it felt the best in my hand. I let my brother have the pig after a while because I moved on to another putter and he promptly lost it. Threw it 80 feet long on a hole with water 10 feet behind the basket. The skeeter melted in the back seat of my wife's car. Not really sure how it happened but it got pretty messed up. Ended up selling it to PIAS for a couple bucks towards new stuff.

The first discs I owned came in the Innova DX Starter Pack with the Leopard, Shark and Aviar all 150g. After that I bought a 175g DX Wraith, didn't really help me much though because I couldn't throw it properly, I just liked the way it looked. I got them at Dick's Sporting Goods and I still have them all.

I can't stand MC on plainfield, I don't know if it's just them (and I doubt it) but charging 20 bucks a single disc:thmbdown:, no matter what disc it is, is Out-F@#$ing-rageous.

At least the 3 pack you got 3 discs, for far less than they woulda charged, for 3 singles.

The first three discs I bought were a Yellow DX Dragon, a Orange DX TeeBird, and a Blue DX Roc. They were bought new at Play it Again Sports for about $8 each (I thought it was pretty good since every else they were 9 or ten each). All of them are still in my bag; however, I really only the the Roc now.

 

[Mbagnola1]

My first disc was a 169 red star beast. I held on to it forever but lost it to a creek

 

[KniceZ]

Innova starter pack.
Then a white 175 Beast with rainbow stamp. Almost lost it in the woods and water several times but still have it and use it.
