evan9381 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 My mom wants to buy my brother a "set" of frisbees to disc golf. I have never played, but i know a bunch of you do. I dont know what a set consists of, but i regularly sew people at hoover with bags full. I dont know what they go for, but she said she wants to spend "about $25". Can someone give me an idea i can pass on? I don't know how much each of these things are, and if she's only going to be able to get a couple or a few... I have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 From what I've seen that would get you about 2 discs, maybe. I would look for some used ones. I bought 5 off of a member here for 20, that was enough for me to start. I didn't even know what discs I would like to throw at first. I would suggest going this route in the beginning.

evan9381 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think ive heard him talk about playing before, but i dont know how much. Ill have to check with my other brother who talks to him more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 The starter kit is fine for a beginner. For years before the sport became what it is today users only used a single disc and it was good. The starter set with multiple discs will allow for different feel for several discs and if he chooses to play he can gauge what he wants based on the types in the kit.

If it's the Innova set, great starter set, when you first play it doesn't matter what you throw, the more expensive drivers are bad for beginners. You have to throw pretty far to really use the sharp drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 set like this http://www.amazon.com/Innova-Disc-Golf-Set-3-Disc/dp/B000Q838XW meijer and wallmart have them in the spring and summer not sure if they would be out inu the winter but worth a shot.

SpaceGhost Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Evan if you want to get together, I don't have too many disc left, but if you want a few for free I can see what I can give out. I have been giving them away for a few years now. I had over a thousand. Before we moved I gave a bunch to a couple schools for PE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
