Hello everyone and thank you for a great forum.
This place have been the best guidance I've found in the search of disc information.
I'm completely new to the game and other than 4 rounds and some practice on the field I've only watched a couple of casting videos (haven't found many good) on YouTube.
The jungle of discs out there I've tried to handle by sticking to Innova discs since I learned their numbers and want as little confusion as possible at the moment (there is plenty already).
Right now I'm trying to find myself a set of discs I can handle. I have an half assed form and definitely can't handle the 170g katana my brother gave me.
The 2 discs I bought for first round was a champ (mf) Roc3 and a dx Aviar p&a.
Reading around afterwards gave me the idea that it's smarter to start with understable discs with lower speeds. To me this made sense since I find the fade of the disks hard to handle.
My local course is rocky and many holes full of trees. This made me instantly want to avoid the fragile dx-plastic that otherwise probably is what new players on a budget should stick to.
Regarding plastic choice I've now ordered 2 gstar discs even though few experienced players seem to like them, the champ feels too slippery especially now during winter. Largely I went for gstar since I got the idea this plastic was less stable making the stable discs slightly understable and better for me as a beginner?
My current plan is to go for straight flyers to make this start easier and since I have the Roc3 for the throws I want to turn left (rhbh).
On their way is now Tl3 (gstar 172g) and Vroc (gstar 176g).
Do you think I should have ordered more understable discs? At least I realized that DDs wasn't for me just yet haha...
Oh yeah! Also a mcbeth xt-nova 165g is in there since I dream of learning to land those birdies (30'+ putts) even though I bet I should just have gotten a Birdie for that purpose.
Original plan was to go for straight flying low weight gliders to get distance and precision, as a noodle arm newbie mostly playing short woody courses is this the way to go?
Sorry for the wall of text, too much thinking as you can see but the experienced player I've asked for advice like heavy (175g+ champ) overstable disks and I feel like this isn't newbie friendly.
Thank you!
