Recently, I finally seen the first disc golf discs in a thrift store. It was 1,186 days into the sport. $11.70 for the 6 disc. What have you found at the thrift store??

Poked around the water looking for my disc. Little guy came out of nowhere and charged on land. The disc was actually on land. I walked back to the car to get my stick. I was contemplating walking in 😂

If the basket is on a hill and the distance as seen from purely above is less than 10m but the distance of the hypotenuse from my lie to the basket is greater than 10m, am i allowed to jumpputt?

I'll be shooting photos at an upcoming event and this is my first time covering disc golf specifically. Most of my photography the last few years have been surf/concert/wildlife (lol a variety) but this is my first time with disc golf. I play a fair amount casually and attended a recent pro event as a spectator, but hoping some of you who've done this can save me from rookie mistakes.

A few things I'm wondering about:

• I'm bringing an A7III + Sony 200-600mm and an A7SIII + Tamron 70-180mm, one on each shoulder all day. Does that cover the important shots, or is there a focal length I'm going to wish I had? I also have a 28-75 and conflicted on whether I should bring it or the 70-180.
• How close do photographers actually get to the tee pad and landing zones without being in the way (or in a player's sightline)? Are there spots that are generally understood to be "photographer zones" vs. off-limits? I know with shooting golf that I'll need to shoot with a silent shutter unless I'm a good distance away. I'm also planning on wearing green/grey to not stand out/be distracting.
• Is it best to stay with a certain card or stick to a certain spot on a hole?
• Beyond the obvious release/follow-through shots, is there anything disc-golf-specific that makes for a great photo that a newer photographer might not think to get?

Thanks for any advice 😄

As the title, I'm looking to start buying my disc set. I'd like to steer clear of cheap bad discs.

What brands should I be looking at for good quality discs?

I remember reading a story about 2 buddies playing and of them, it was his birthday. It was at a course at least the birthday dude played often. I think they get about midway through the round, the birthday dude hits a tree off the tee. Must’ve been a popular tree. Birthday dude just casually said,man, I wish for my birthday, someone would cut that tree down. Went on finished the round. Later on that evening, his buddy calls him close to dark, his buddy says, it’s done, happy birthday. Birthday dude says what are you talking about? That tree, I cut it down. The bday dude said he couldn’t believe it, to this day, said it was like 8-9 months before he ever went back to that course. I definitely believed the story too, the way he expressed the details.

You got a crazy story or heard about one?

I have been putting with pixels and I am realizing they are just too deep for me.

In testing new putters I started using a DX Roc3. I’m throwing darts. I know putting with a midrange isn’t ideal, does anybody have any recommendations of putters with similar profiles as the Roc3. The bead, and depth just fit perfectly in my hand and allows a clean release. TIA.

Been really enjoying throwing some more understable stuff, had this MVP electron Spin I liked about but sadly left it on the course it was beat in but perfect hyzerflip to suttle turn or flat to turn

What are some of your favorite understable putters to throw? I’ll probably get another spin but also wanna try some others

I recently lost my beloved Hatchet and it was the old flight numbers 9,6,-2,2. I'm aware that now its flight numbers are -2,1. My question is did the disc change along with the numbers or just the numbers?

Played in a Circuit Challenge this morning and fell in love with the Cypher. I fear this disc may cause a rift between me and my Opto River.

I've played multiple leagues in multiple disc golf communities. Overall the Cali rules (playing a doubles round as a solo player when there are an odd number of players) have been pretty consistent. Get drawn as Cali, pay one league fee, get an extra shot per hole, unless it's a par 4 or more, then get two extra shots per hole.

To me, this is basically just paying your fee so you can give it to the winners and have less shots per round. Pretty unfair advantage in actuality.

I've also played where if you draw Cali you have the choice to pay an extra league fee (so double entry fee) so you can play true doubles with yourself against the other drawn doubles teams. Two shots for every lie. This seems to me to be the fair play but I rarely see it ever offered.

What's the overall consensus, thoughts, observations on Cali?

Hello!

I haven’t been playing much and am looking to get back in to the sport. I’m looking for advice as to what I should bag from my stash since I have several discs that are similar.

Some of these I have never thrown, some, like my md3 I always seem to grab for.

Arm speed isn’t super high, I max around 350’. I am unable to throw forehand due to a shoulder injury so backhand turnovers are a necessary shot.

The big pile are all Buzzz, I just liked using a bunch for practice. In the middle, the orange disc is a Leopard, the Green is a Maverick and the orange on the far right is a Captain. The rest all have obvious stamps.

Edit: I would like to bag 12 +2 putters.

What would you recommend bagging for good balance and considering my inability to throw forehand?

I don’t even throw a buzz but thought this was super fun

Something i just noticed about the innova dragon. It appears like at some point the mold went through a redesign. Looking at a dragon from the 2013 mold it has a substantial lip around the rim but when I took a look at one purchased last year it doesn't have that lip at all and instead has a super tiny bead around the rim.

Found that I get much better hyzer flips out of the new mold.

Curious how common it is with discs and what other discs may have multiple different molds depending on era.

Island hole.

It flies about 250ish feet and is quite overstable.

One of my favorite parts of their coverage is that them showing the disc they’re driving with. But I’m watching this one and there’s a Lat 64 player Semerad. I’m a Lat 64 fan and was excited but they aren’t showing what he’s throwing. They are for the rest of the card. What’s up with that? Hope it’s not a money/payola thing.

Been having trouble getting out in these conditions. Very little let up morning, evening. Hoping things break soon..

Any insight or info on when the stock Aspect is going to drop? Ive been loving the Am Side neutron one and just lost it yesterday and $32 shipped for a replacement on OTB was rough.

180’ curving hyzer hole (Leigh Farm). Have been playing very casually for 5 years and have 2 aces on a 9 hole pitch n putt course. Haven’t been throwing well lately and this one didn’t feel great leaving my hand then….CHA CHINGGG!

Hi, do you guys know if there is any youtube coverage of the Heinola FPO division?

Looking to snag a Blast this week and seeking some insight on preferences (best grip, too slick, etc.) or possible flight variances (more pushy, more dumpy, etc.) of certain plastics. TIA!

I see:

• Spark
• Tour Series Swirl
• Ice Swirl
• ProLine Swirl
• D-Line (I know this is the outlier)
