[Question] When you were first starting out...

[Uncle Dougie]

What was the first disc you bought and when out and played with? In my case a buddy loaned me a an avair and a dx shark to use but I still wanted my own so I bought a dx beast. I went to a park (non disc golf park) because I was embarrassed to throw in front of other people without my friends around. I remember it was raining a bit but it didn't bother me. It sucked because I was only throwing the beast and I remember alot of crumby shots and having to run back and fourth to grab it so I could throw it agian.

Just a random noob story

What are some of your first purchases?

 

[jasampso]

Innova Aero....back when I bought it, it was advertised as a driver. Now it's labeled putt & approach. Amazing to see the advances made over the years. The game has surely changed.

 

[JSurmann]

First one I bought was a Lightning #1 Driver. Still have that thing in a box...wonder how it flies now.

 

[garublador]

My friend loaned me a JLS for my first round. I went out and bought, and I'm not making this up, a DX Cheetah, a grid stamped Aviar and an X XL.

 

[InnocentCrook]

Innova 150 class 3 disc starter set.

Cheetah, Shark, and an Aviar. I'm pretty sure I lost the Shark a long time ago at Idlewild, not long after the course opened. The Cheetah is in the lake at AJ Jolley hole #2. The Aviar sits in practice basket in the garage.

Fairly certain my first round was played with a cobra I was borrowing. I bought a used DX Viper and a polecat the next day.

I was given a champ orc and a super beat in dx XD by a buddy. I quickly picked up a DX started box from innova with a leopard, Aviar and Shark,and also added a dx beast and dx Valkyrie to the mix.

I first tried to RHBH the orc when I first threw and it maybe went 75ft before crashing to the ground. I then tried a flick and sent the orc out 250ft and was sold on the game. Its amazing what a persons first nice throw will do.

 

[ManU]

DX Gator I think it was
it didn't go well

I think I actually managed to throw it backwards once

 

[tylersheehy]

I started with a Star Wraith I found. First disc I bought was a Pro D XL and Hawk.

When I first started I borrowed my dad's old SM roc, softie putter, and a couple drivers that I don't remember... and my friend gave me a 12x firebird (I started RHFH drives and mostly BH mids/putts).

First purchase came soon after with a 11x eagle, champ destroyer, champ banshee, and a kc pro aviar.

Oh the days when the bag was very simple.

 

[pineappletrees]

Bought a 175g Medium Warlock and a 174g P-Line Craze. Didn't go well.

 

[lowracks]

DX Eagle

 

[otnavuskire]

I only started a couple months ago. I went to the only store in town that sells discs and asked what I should get. The guy working there (who seemed to know what he was talking about, as he said he played every day) sold me a DX Aviar, DX Leopard, and a Champion Destroyer. I guess he didn't know what he was talking about. The Destroyer is still mostly useless to me.

 

[bholy08]

dx spider which was actually a good disc for me starting out.
and a dx wraith. looking back not the best option but it beat in quick and i had to learn to control it.

 

[prerube]

I also got a wraith early and refused to listen to anyone when they said I could not throw it properly. I thought 230 feet for a wraith was good.

 

[pspunch]

champion starter pack. 150 valkyrie, 167 panther, 167 aviar

lost the panther and gave away the aviar. still have the valk hanging on the wall

thanks, it was a good story

 

[pnasalberta]

I had the starter set of leopard and shark and avair but then i bought a wolf. I ended up giving them to my dad when I got better and he loved them

 

[nexah3]

dx aviar and a champion firebird

I use the aviar when I want to practice on my basket at home, and I took the firebird out a couple of weeks ago.
