I am new to disc golf. What are the best discs for a beginner to throw?

Resist the temptation to try lots of different discs. Concentrate on learning to throw only one disc until you develop a feel for throwing golf discs. Some excellent disc choices for new players are: Aero, Leopard, Polecat, Cobra, Stingray, Archangel and Sidewinder.

Established disc golfers tend to use of a variety of discs. Once you become more comfortable throwing golf discs, you may consider using different discs for different types of shots. Use a Driver for tee shots and long fairway drives. Use a Multi-purpose disc for shorter shots and approaching the basket. Use a Putter for short approaches and putts.

Beginners can choose one of the following Drivers as these discs are the easiest discs to throw far. Choose lighter weights for better results: Archangel, Valkyrie, Sidewinder, Cheetah or Leopard.

For a Multi-purpose disc with a predictable flight, choose one of these discs: Shark, Panther or Spider.

For Putters, consider choosing the Polecat and Birdie as they are predictably straight flyers. The Aviar is also an excellent choice.

What do the terms stable, understable and overstable indicate?
Stability is a description of the disc’s flight path. Stable is the tendency of a disc to remain straight through most of the flight. Understable describes a disc that turns right (RHBH thrower) during the high speed portion of the flight. Overstable refers to a flight that turns left (RHBH thrower) at high or low speeds. Understable discs are much more speed sensitive than stable or overstable discs. An understable disc will often fly stable to overstable at low speed.

What do hyzer and anhyzer mean?
Hyzer and Anhyzer refer to the bank angle of the disc at release. Hyzer is the angle of release where the outside edge or left edge of the disc is tilted downward for a right hand back hand (RHBH) thrower. Anhyzer is the angle of release where the outside edge or left edge of the disc is tilted upward for a RHBH thrower. These angles are reversed for left hand back hand throwers or right hand side arm throwers.
