hey i'm just starting out and i plan on playing about once every couple weekends....can anyone let me know how many discs i should buy to start out? i only have a driver and putter right now and they're pretty crappy....I'd love some advice

[sportdisc]

We at Discraft recommend you keep it simple to start: a putter (Soft Magnet is our most popular), a midrange (Buzzz, Meteor, Comet, Hawk), and a couple of different drivers suitable for beginners (Avenger SS, Stratus, XL). There's plenty of tips in the Team section of our website... where you'll also find other video clinics. Cheers.

I like how he NEVER explained the elevator shot.

What he was saying about throwing with people who are better than you is so true. I learned more in one afternoon playing doubles with a pro than in a whole year of throwing alone.

@Medium0Rare its really easy... no need to explain it

[ThisDamnHomelessGuy]

@TheStinkfister how are you throwing, RHBH, your trying to put too much power in your throw, lessen up on it, the disc should rip from your grip, not you releasing the disc. Also your step might be messed up, practice daily walking an x-step until your comfortable running the x-step, then your shoulder should not hurt anymore

[TheStinkfister]

Any tips for a guy who is straining his shoulder on drives? It seems every time I go out for a round I leave with my shoulder in wincing pain.

Well the elevator is pretty easy to figure out.

[rollthelosingdice]

whats the best disc for an elevator shot? magnet?

[gionieto]

my question to most pro where can i find the best tech. course. and where can i find the longer course. I live in CALI.

[tosotikoga]

@Medium0Rare If you want to throw an elevator shot, throw your disc slightly nose up with a slight anhyzer angle on it and you should be able to get the elevator shot to work just fine. The reason it drops straight down from so high up is that as it stalls it is also coming out of the anhyzer. It doesn't have a chance to finish off as normal so it just falls nearly straight down.

great video!

@r3dskins8947 Personally, I played for years with just a single midrange disc. But now I play with about 5 or so.

2 drivers one overstable, and one understable, and 2 midrange discs, the same.

I'll also normally bring a disc I'm working with, or for a particular shot.

Personally, I don't carry a putter.

I have the luxury of throwing both lefty and righty equally well so I don't work on the forhand shot as much as I should. I play endicott park and made it through last week at 6 over par not to bad for starting play a month ago.
