I just got an order of new discs in the mail today. I just got back from theowing them in the field. 1) 175 gram XT Whale This is my go-to putter so I needed another for more reps during practice. Very straight with a small fade. 2) 171 gram star Lion Very straight with fade. Throw a little...

Hello everyone! It's very likely that I'll be switching up my bag in the near future as I add more discs to my bag. Currently, I have an Innova deluxe bag. It's an over the shoulder style that is eventually going to be too small for me, thus the reason for the anticipated replacement. I'm...

So I'm thinking about upgrading my bag in the near future. Currently, I have an Innova deluxe bag. As I get more discs, I'm going to need a bigger and more comfortable bag, all while being at a reasonable price. The super hero pack sounds like a good fit. What say you, fellow disc golfers? How...

Thanks to everyone for all this! I'm moving this summer to a place that has a disc golf club so I should have some chances to get connected with the local disc golf scene. I'm sure they have doubles or something I can use to get my feet wet and have a great time. Thanks again!

No, I haven't. I'm very "green," you might say.

Hello everyone! I've got some questions about getting into tournaments. I've never played in any PDGA sanctioned tourneys so that world is a bit foreign to me. My thoughts are that this year will be a time to work on my form and add discs to my bag that I need. The following year is when I'm...

Man, I'm glad I found this thread! I've experienced very small distance gaps between my discs, and I thought that meant I needed to work more on form to gain distance. Not that I don't need to work more, but it's nice to know this experience shouldn't be used an indicator of skill, since it...

Hello fellow disc golfers. I was just looking at a video of one of the Sabattus courses, when I got a little inspiration, which led to a couple of questions. 1)How do you get involved in designing disc golf courses? 2) Is there money to be made in that? Thank you!

So would you say it's more overstable than it appears in the Innova video?

Hello fellow disc golfers. I have a few questions about a couple of putters and whether or not they might be a good fit for my bag. Currently, I have two whales: one to putt with and one to throw. Both have been good for me. However, one putter that seems intriguing to me is the dart. From...

I LOVE my xt whale! It's very straight with a predictable fade at the end. I also love it for putting.

I've been thinking lately about pro disc golfers, and I've been wondering how they make money. I know there are payouts if you place well in tournaments, and there are always sponsorships, but I imagine most players are breaking even or close to it financially. Any thoughts about this?

When I practice driving, I usually get mixed results. Sometimes, my shots will be way left and right of the basket (in those cases, I usually guess what I did wrong and try to make the correction). A good number of times, I can get the disc into my putting comfort zone, which is either at or...

Thanks for the info! My plans may be changing, as there were other stops on this trip I was taking. I'm DEFINITELY going to have to visit the IDGC soon, though.

I'm going to the International Disc Golf Center right before Thanksgiving! The only problem is that all the decent hotels seem to be at least forty minutes away. I plan to play all three courses and stretch them out over a couple of days. I sure don't want to drive forty minutes there and forty...
