What is a Starter Set?
A starter set in disc golf is a collection of discs designed specifically for beginners. These sets include 3-5 discs, each having a different flight purpose:
- Distance Driver: Distance Drivers have the greatest potential to travel the greatest distance. This disc has a sharp edge to cut through the air efficiently, making it ideal for long throws down open fairways.
- Fairway Driver: Fairway Drivers are easier to control because they have less speed potential. This disc offers more stability and precision, suitable for tighter fairways and navigating obstacles.
- Midrange: Midranges often offer straighter flights and won’t vary from their intended flight. This disc is used for shorter throws where control and accuracy are more important than distance.
- Putter: Putters are the deepest, slowest, disc golf discs. This disc is used for making short, controlled throws into the basket.
Starter sets are designed to be user-friendly and help new players get a feel for the different types of discs and their respective uses. They are often made from more durable and grippy plastic to aid in learning and improving throwing techniques.
