Here you will find a selection of discs that we recommend to brand new players. We recommend choosing a putter , a midrange and a fairway driver as your first discs. If you only want one disc, we recommend a midrange. You will find all the recommended discs this spring beginner section .
For those who are complete beginners
If you are completely new to frisbee golf, it may be a good idea to start with a beginner's set . This kit comes at a reasonable price, and includes discs made of plastic with a good grip. The discs in the set are light and very understable , which makes it easier for a beginner to achieve distance. The disks are best suited for backhand , so if you also want to throw forehand, we recommend buying an Opto Saint as well.
Since the discs in the starter set are very affordable, they also have a very low shelf life . Therefore, we recommend that you buy discs separately if you plan to play more than a couple of times. We can recommend the following disks which are suitable for beginners:
Putter:
Active Sensei flies easily and straight. It keeps the straight flight longer than most other putters. At the same time, it is affordable and has a good grip. Therefore, this is an inner tier as your first putter.
The DX Aviar from Innova is a variant of the most popular putter of all time. The DX plastic is the cheapest Innova produces, and it has a very good grip. This putter could quickly be the putter you use for your entire frisbee golf career. It is also possible to go up a bit in the price range to get a putter with better durability , namely the KC Pro Aviar.
Midrange:
The Royal Grand Trust from Dynamic Discs is an inexpensive disc that is great for learning how to throw correctly, both backhand and forehand. If you throw the disk straight ahead, the disk will fly straight ahead. The Prime plastic also gives you a good and comfortable grip. 
Champion Mako3 from Innova comes in a slightly harder and more premium plastic, which means that you get a disk that you can have for a long time. Premium plastic is a bit more expensive, but you get a disk that retains its flying properties for longer and is more resistant to nicks and scratches. It stays straight for an extremely long time, so it's a counter that you quickly fall in love with.
Fairway Driver:
Active Genius is a cheap and light alternative. This is probably the disc that beginners can throw the longest with, but as soon as you start to get a little more speed in the disc, the disc will quickly turn over . Nevertheless, it is a very good alternative in the starting phase.
The Opto Explorer offers even more control than the discs above, and with its durable plastic, it's a perfect choice as your first forehand disc. This is a counter you can use throughout your journey towards frisbee golf expertise.
Remote driver:
Opto Sapphire is the disk to use to step up from Genius or Diamond. It is also light, but you get more length potential and stability. The plastic is also very durable, which means that you will enjoy the counter for a long time to come.
Active Mentor is a good choice as your first distance driver. It is light and understable , but at the same time is not excessively understable.
The Star Shryke has very similar properties to the Active Mentor, but has a significantly more durable plastic. The Star plastic for the Innova gives the "best of both worlds" in terms of grip and durability.
For those of you who have thrown a little before:
Until now, we have only recommended less stable disks. It's time to get more stability in your bag. Overstable discs require more speed in the throws for good length, but it gives you more control because they dump to the left so to speak at the end of the flight (for right-handed backhands), without fear of the disc turning over . In addition, as I said, it is important to use overstable discs when throwing forehand, as it is much easier to turn over the disc when flicking it out with the wrist.
The Star Firebird from Innova is an ultra-stable fairway driver, and is one of the most popular discs in the world. It is popular because it is very reliable and gives good distance, both with backhand and forehand. The Star plastic is of high quality with both very good grip and good durability.
The Opto Explorer from Latitude 64 is a very good companion to the Firebird. It is less overstable than the Firebird, which makes it an obvious choice if you are going to cast far straight ahead. It still has enough stability to be a reliable disc, also for forehand throws. The opto-plastic is very durable, so this disk will retain its flying properties for a long time.
The BT Harp from Westside Discs is the disc to reach for when throwing a short forehand throw. It provides a very good grip for the forehand and is extremely stable and reliable. The reason why you also need a forehand disk with low speed is to avoid the disk rolling around or "skipping" far past the curve. Harp hits the ground more quietly and has less chance of rolling than, for example, a Firebird.
Royal Grand Grace has the control of a fairway driver and the distance of a maximum driver. The Royal Grand plastic has exceptional grip and durability, and has a silky smooth edge thanks to Latitude 64's "NextEdge" technology.
Royal Grand Trust has enough stability to be pressed, but at the same time goes straight as a string at the correct speed. It can be seen as a much higher quality EMAC Truth.
