“It’s a fun sport, it gets you outside to enjoy the beautiful weather, and people of all ages, athleticism, any backgrounds can play it and enjoy it,” he said about the sport growing rapidly and wanting the participation to increase.
As your skills develop, he said, you can focus on getting discs that are better for different situations based on their weight and width of the rim on the disc. He said it’s similar to golf in choosing a driver, iron and putter. The wider the rim, the further it will go.
Players use a back pack to carry their discs on the course, and he said you can take as many or few as you want. “I usually carry about 20,” he said.
While the discs may be easier to find on the course than a golf ball, he said they can get lost, especially in tall grass/weedy areas. He suggests writing your name and phone number on each disc to improve the chances of someone recovering one. They range from $10 to $20 for most styles of discs. They are available at most major sporting goods stores, and there are starter variety packs that have the different styles of discs.
