Instructions

    • 1

      Test several types of discs to see what feels good in your hand.

    • 2

      Look at discs that aren't weighted to fade or draw. You don't need a specialized disc to start.

    • 3

      Find out how much the disc weighs. A disc between 160 and 170 grams will serve your purposes.

    • 4

      Buy a disc that's colorful or has an original design. You'll be surprised how much time you spend looking for the disc in the bushes and tall grass - no matter how good you are.

      Ignore technical jargon as you see fit. Disc golf junkies abound. Until you're one yourself, it will seem a bit foolish.
