Advice on Building my first bag? (lemmy.world)

Hello Everyone!

I was introduced to disc golf last year, and immediately fell in love. I purchased a cheap Sportneer beginner's set on Amazon and have been using that since.

Since last summer I have lost all but my putters, and figured this is a great time to start building a bag! Would you folks have any advice on discs/molds you would recommend? Would a Putter, mid range and driver suffice?

I'm still new and have a long way to go as far as my form, I throw predominantly RHBH, but I have a pretty solid forehand as well.

I'm excited to be a part of the community thanks for having me!

As general advice, stay with lower speed discs, umdeatable to flat flying midranges like a Comet or a Buzz until you have good form. Then work you way up in speed and stability (over stable) as you improve. Same advice for the type of plastic, stay with base plastics for awhile since they are cheaper, then work your way up to the more expensive stuff. It's more about personal presence on how the disc feels in your hand with the types of plastics.

Thank you! I've heard great things about the Buzz from quite a few sources. I appreciate the advice!

Regarding plastics, I'm most concerned with durability at this point. Are the lower range plastics less durable?

Yes, the baseline plastics will be less durable but they're usually also less expensive. Most people will get a baseline or midgrade plastic for their putting putter (because they're also gripper). Definitely get premium plastic for your drivers and midranges for the improved durability.

Perfect, that helps a ton! Thank you!
