Disc Golf Discs
Choosing the Right Disc Golf Discs
Disc golf is becoming an extremely popular recreational game. The mechanics is basically the same with that of golf, except for the equipment used. Golf uses golf balls while disc golf uses hard plastic discs. This game is not just an enjoyable recreational game but is also an inexpensive past-time. You can freely play on disc golf courses or on parks. When playing disc golf, the most important equipment that you need to have are the disc golf discs.
There are three general types of disc golf discs: driver, mid-range and putter.

Disc golf drivers are flat and are designed for gliding. And these discs are further classified into two groups: the distance driver, which is the widely-used type of discs; and fairway driver, which is slower than the distance driver but glides better and is easier to control.
Mid-range discs, on the other hand, are thicker and heavier than the driver discs and are designed to move steady and straight. These discs are a bit slower but are more accurate than the other types of discs.
Meanwhile, putter discs are the thickest and heaviest discs, making them glide slower and shorter. These discs are the most accurate and the easiest to control.
When choosing your golf discs, there are important things that need to be considered. Among them is the discs’ stability. If you want to increase the fade of the discs, an over-stable disc is perfect for you. Meanwhile, if you are a new user, an under-stable disc is recommended. This disc tends to go against the disc’s natural fade.
The weight of the discs is also an important thing to consider. Different discs weigh differently; the lightest could start from 150 grams while the heaviest discs weigh about 180 grams.
Other important considerations include the speed, glide, and degree of difficulty in controlling the discs.
If you’re looking for the best discs available in the market today, those manufactured by Innova and Discraft are considered the bestselling disc golf discs. Both of these golf discs have incredible speed and glide. But there are a lot more variety of discs that you can choose from if you check online stores; each of them offers unique features. Other bestselling golf discs are Valkyrie, Teebird, Destroyer, and Beast.
Before you decide to buy disc golf discs, it is important that you have a clear understanding about these. Read discs magazines or online sites that offer pertinent information not just about the discs but also about the game as a whole. Read reviews on different golf discs and compare the features and the prices before making a decision.
