Another new person here - first of all, I don't think you should worry about being a nuisance, or be apologetic. You are asking great questions, and I for one am reading all the responses with interest equal to yours. I am positive other newbies are, too. Your question totally helped clear up the whole Innova line of plastics for me (which is what I mostly have, except for also having a Buzzz!)
Secondly, I have talked to some really nice folks at the course I play at, and they told me they REALLY WANT to get new people interested. Having new people coming in is good in so many ways - new blood keeps it interesting. More enthusiasm for the sport is good in SO many ways! And the sport is inherently social, so players seem eager to find new people to play with. And even to teach, and mentor.
I know I'm not nearly good enough to play with REAL DGer's yet...but might do so anyway, because they seem to want me to, and because I know I'll learn from them. I am worried about slowing the game down, with not driving any distance - and extremely self-conscious about throwing in front of good players. I tell myself they have all been in my position, though. Nowhere to go but up, right?
I admire you sticking to 3 discs! I am not even throwing 200 feet yet, and I don't get to play every day - more like 2-4 times a week. That said, I already have 8 discs, though I have started leaving several in the car, and usually carry 5 or 6 on the course. I do throw more than one driver from the tee, if there's no one else on the course, to get more practice. So that explains the extras. I have 2 Sidewinders that I haven't totally given up on yet, but also throw a Leopard 3 and a Buzz, have been using them more since I got them. And then I have 2 putt/approach that I'm experimenting with, one Innova, and one a cool flexible Discraft that feels more like a conventional Frisbee (forget the names of these 2!).
Again, thanks for your question - it helped me, too. Good luck with your game!
