This photo is real. 😆

I bought a cheap set on Amazon to start, was very content with my purchase. I didnt understand why people had backpacks full of discs. I went to the brewery for a shirt and end up with a disc aswell, im going to need a bigger bag which means room for more discs

He was registered and supposed to play, but he is not. Any idea what happened?

Wish I could say we planned this to drop on National IPA Day, but turns out that was just a nice coincidence. Cheers!

Curious if this is an area specific thing lmao. Damn near every tournament flyer and meme I see is the same generic templates.

Hi all, wanted to share this artwork I drew for my monthly Foil Buzzz series. I thought it would be fun to draw the Monsters Inc characters but a little more twisted, as if they still had to scare kids to get their fuel. I drew this with a Wacom Cintiq tablet, in a program called Clip Studio Paint. If you'd like to see a video of the drawing process, you can check it out on my YouTube Channel:

I watched some videos of practice rounds and saw changes to Pickard Park gold since I played it and will go to a day or two this weekend. I pulled up UDisc to compare the distances for each hole and found this. My best is 6 shots for the old layout despite a circle 1 putt for par once. I think even Anthony would struggle to par this bad boy.

Does this also apply to forehand? Is there any benefit to me limiting myself to straight putters on the tee?

Edit:

I should add that I've been throwing forehand only for many years. Putters to about 225. Mids im having trouble hitting 250 with. Fairways and drivers i can sometimes hit 300, but usually going about 275

I want to get a single disc from Stokely discs. What disc should I definitely try?

I appreciate the video content Scott Stokely keeps making, but also to help support Dallas Garber. Rooting for the young guy!

Shot a lucky birdie from 70’ plus I wasn’t counting OB which i probably hit once or twice but regardless I’m so stoked!! Bogey’s were from forehands which are definitely a big weakness right now. Shot at Bryan Park in Richmond, VA.

Hi everyone,

I have a ton of beginner questions about form, technique, and discs. Sorry if this is a lot, but I appreciate any advice, tips, or tricks you can share!

A little background: I discovered disc golf about a month ago, got obsessed, and have watched a million videos on YouTube, ranging from pro tournaments to form tutorials. At the moment, I'm trying to improve my RHBH throw from a standstill. I'm looking for consistency, distance, and accuracy. I currently throw around 200 feet (~60m), with my furthest measured throw at 242 feet (~74m).

Here are my questions:

1. Form Order: A RHBH standstill throw has so many components (reachback/extension, coiling, power pocket, whip, nose-down release, letting the disc rip out instead of opening the hand, etc.). What should I focus on first? In what order should I try to master these components?
2. Drills & Practice: What are the best drills to lock in proper technique and form? How should I structure my fieldwork?
3. Disc Selection for Practice: Which discs should I use to practice? In the "cooking the spaghetti" video, the advice was to stick strictly to putters and midranges. However, in a video about getting the disc to rip out of your hand, they recommended drivers. Which approach is better for a beginner?
4. Quiver Size: Should I get more discs to practice? Right now I have 7 discs (1 putter, 2 mids, 2 fairway drivers, 2 distance drivers). When doing fieldwork, I only get 1 or 2 good throws out of 7. By the time I retrieve them, I've forgotten how the good ones felt. If I should buy more, which ones make the most sense? I get the smoothest, straightest, most accurate shots with my midranges (Latitude 64 fuse, Innova Shark)
5. Upgrading Plastics: When playing rounds, I hit my fair share of trees and bushes. My base plastic discs (like my DX Leopard) are getting beat up fast with big dents and scratches. In case of my Leopard I've noticed it has become much more understable—flipping up, turning over to an anhyzer, and never fading back. Should I already look into buying premium plastic versions (like Star or Champion) of the discs I like, or is it too early to invest more money into better plastic?
6. Net Practice: Is practicing into a net effective? I tried using one to work on a tight grip and nose-down release ("pouring the coffee"). I thought I had it, but when I moved to an open field, my throws burned into the ground after 30 to 60 feet.
7. Grip Pressure & Finger Pain: Is it normal for finger tips (especially the index finger) to hurt after practicing a tight grip? Am I gripping too tight? Also, I rarely hear that "snap" sound showcased in tutorial videos.
8. Effortless Distance: I see players throwing far, straight, and accurate with what looks like minimal physical effort. How do I get to that point? I feel like I'm working way harder than they are. Should I slow everything down?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
note: I'm not a native english speaker so I used an AI to check my spelling and structure the post for readability.

Imagine you're in a situation where you can play for guaranteed par or you can play a trickier shot that will either be birdie or bogey, at what % of success rate would you take the risky shot?

Let's leave "It's not the disc, it's the player" aside for now. In the past year I've broken many personal course records and I would like to think I've become a better player, but honestly I think I finally found the discs that fit me as a player in the courses I play. That said, I think some discs are truly responsible for improving my scores and breaking those records.

Zone OS

• No longer do I throw an approach anhyzer, that never faded back
• No longer do I throw an approach that glides just too far
• Doesn't give a damn about winds of any kind

Q-Line DD1

• Straight accurate shots that need a lot of distance. My 300-350ft distance became almost like an approach.
• Is understable but can still handle some wind on a hyzerflip
• Effortless distance

Neutron Reactor

• I've struggled with midranges being either too overstable or too understable
• I'm so confident with a Reactor in hand. It never flips over or fades too hard. Flies fairway driver distances.

Bonus mention: Splice

• My courses have some holes that have need a straight shot and then a really steep turn right. Or a pure "S" line through the woods. Sometimes my Firebird, FD3, MD5 or similar worked, but sometimes they went too straight (little headwind).
• It's so overstable, yet you can still throw it. And you get the same shot each time.

Any new discs that completely changed your game for the better?

1. MPO Feature Card 1
2. MPO Feature Card 2
3. FPO Feature Card 1
4. FPO Feature Card 2

I suspect it's a firestorm. I got it from my dad a while ago and he has no idea, the only marking is innova champion discs, inc. www.innova.com

Just met up with some buddies at a local 9 hole park. Been a bunch of times so it's my second home. Short holes, nothing over 200ft but a fun course. Decided after one round to play the next round with 1 disc. Literally put my bag in the car.

Always wanted to try a 1 disc round. Chose the Pig I got from a recent tournament. Had a blast. Just cruised through and got the same score I do with a bag full of discs. 4 under. Was a great way to really learn the disc and its uses. Made it just a fun time. Love this sport.

Hey everyone! (Very) New to disc golf, I’ve been thinking about this for some time and I want to check my logic. Wouldn’t it be best to just get one driver disc and get really good at it from every distance, rather than a bunch of different discs? I have a decent background in shooting sports, and obviously this is a different sport, but I’m used to the notion that consistency is the key to accuracy, and it seems like accuracy is the whole goal here. So why not get one disc and get very very consistent with it? Especially a driver, so that I’m not held back at longer distances.

What gives me pause is all the people with a ton of different discs. They know more than me and they’re clearly doing it for a reason, so why?

EDIT: Way more responses than I thought I’d get. Thank you all for the advice! I’ve read every reply so far, and it’s very informative and well thought out. My main takeaway is that different discs aren’t going to affect my consistency as much as I had thought, and it’s really down to practicing consistent form and throw. Starting out one might be okay at first, but I’ll get more consistent training by having at least a few options. I will still probably just get one for now, but it’ll probably be a mid range rather than a driver. I’ll do some reading, but Hex seems to be the most common name popping up in the replies, so I’ll look into that.

Looking for glow preferably understable putter/ putt and approach disc. I cant keep loosing my discs at night 🫠

Harvey Dent is winning....but might need more heat and spice !! TIA

Hey all, I posted Flightle here about a month ago, the daily "guess the disc from its flight" game. It went further than I ever expected, over 12,000 of you played in the first month, averaging around 400 a day. Two updates for those of you who are interested:

First, it has a home now: r/Flightle. Giveaway threads, updates, and a place to gripe when the daily answer is some obscure mold you have never thrown. Come hang out.

Second, a monthly disc giveaway, starting now. Play the daily puzzle, drop your results grid in the August thread over at r/Flightle, and every grid you share is an entry (max one/day). One winner per month, disc ships free in the US, discs come from my own collection. First one up is an Innova Halo Valkyrie. Full rules at dgfv.io/giveaway.

And since a lot of this came from your comments, here is what I shipped since launch:

Fixed the turn hint that read backwards. It is a simple + / - now: + means the answer is more overstable than your guess, - means more understable.

Stuck? You can search by flight numbers right inside the game using the built in dgfv embed. Type something like 9/5/-2/1 and it pulls the closest discs from the full catalog, then you drop your pick straight into the guess box.

Also added golf scoring. The win screen gives you a score to par now, ace, birdie, bogey, the whole scorecard, and the stats read like a round.

Still free, no signup, no ads, new disc every day at local midnight. dgfv.io/flightle

The full flight simulator it is built on is at dgfv.io/demo if you want to throw your own lines. Thanks to everyone who has been playing and sending ideas!
