I'm a regular at two pitch and putts and I'm always running into new players. I've spent a lot of time teaching people to throw, giving discs away and generally trying to grow the game in my area and the one thing I have noticed is; it seems to be getting harder and harder to teach new players.
You slow them down, fix their weird run-ups and grips, play a few rounds with them with nothing but 3-4 discs and teach them how to read what went wrong with their throw by watching their disc. Their eyes light up, they make leaps and bounds improvements in short time, and the next time you see them, they are back to throwing a Boss looking for instant distance.
Last year I was doing some field work and a 4-some showed up on the first tee. They were watching me throw in the field and one of them came over and asked me how I was throwing so far, (I don't throw far, but I can get a DX Teedird to 300 though). He said; you look like you're hardly throwing it, wana play a round with us, maybe give me a few pointers? Sure, why not. So I did what I usually do and all went well.
The next week I ran into the same group in the parking lot and they asked me to join them. Before we started, one guy shows me a 150gr DX Shark he found in the woods. Said it's the most flippy piece of crap he's thrown. I look at it and say, it's almost new, this isn't flippy and I give it a quick toss. He was amazed. I offered to play the whole round with it just to show them that you don't need drivers on this course, (the longest hole is 300ft). Anyway, I had fun, not one Katana, Boss or Wraith flew further than my Shark, one guy left in a pissed huff, a couple come out to the field for some field work and all ends well. Next month I see them and yes, they are all back to high speed drivers.
In another thread I mentioned the SD86 philosophy of disc golf; that is, don't improve, argue with known paths to success and justify buying new discs in the search for distance instead of taking a step back and re-learning and fixing flaws.
Here is an in the bag a non-300ft SD86 type thrower

Don't be that guy; unless you just want to buy lots of plastic
You have a choice;
become frustrated, possibly hurt yourself, spend loads of money searching for distance and maybe even quit.
Or
Learn to throw well and enjoy the game and the rewards of watching a beautifully thrown disc and have the satisfaction of knowing that "you" made that shot, not the disc.
This thread gets a lot of hate from the SD86 type thrower

But I'll post it again anyway.
If one follows this 4 disc set up for a few months and sticks with it, it will improve your game, you will learn how to throw different lines and you will reap rewards from the effort.
Or you can just argue from a place of stubborn ignorance.
Best of luck
