Disc golf – a sport that's easy to start, hard to quit

Disc golf is similar to golf, but instead of clubs and balls, you use discs and aim for a basket with chains. You move from teeing ground to basket through a course, and you count your throws in the same way as in golf: the fewest throws win. The sport is perfect for both fun rounds and serious training, and it is especially the choice of discs that makes disc golf exciting, because different discs are designed to fly differently.

Putters

The putter is the disc you typically use closest to the curve, where control and predictability matter most. It is designed for smooth, precise shots with a stable flight, making it easier to hit the line you are aiming for. Many putters have a deeper rim and feel “secure” in the hand, which can give you more confidence on those crucial putts.

Putters aren't just for the last few yards, though. They're also great for short drives and technical holes where you want to avoid big swings and rather position yourself safely. If you want to develop your technique quickly, the putter is one of the best discs to practice with because it often responds clearly to your release and angle, without "hiding" mistakes behind high speed.

Midrange

Midranges are disc golf's most versatile disc type and act as a workhorse for medium distances. They are designed for control, stable flight and a more "calm" pace in the air. Therefore, they are ideal for forest courses and narrow fairways where you need a disc that can hold a line without running away.

Many players find that midranges teach them more about their shots than drivers do. When you throw a midrange, the difference between a clean slip and an inaccurate slip becomes more apparent. This makes them perfect for building a solid foundation in your game, and they are often the safe choice when you would rather land in a good spot than chase maximum distance.

Fairway drivers

Fairway drivers are for those who want more distance than a midrange, but still maintain control and predictability. They are often easier to get flying as intended than the fastest drivers because they don't require quite the same speed and timing in the throw. Therefore, fairway drivers are a good next step when you start to get a handle on your technique and want to expand your game with longer throws.

Fairway drivers are especially good when you want to hit a specific line over a longer distance. They can help you stay on the fairway, shape your shot around trees, and get a clearer finish at the end of the flight. Many people end up using fairway drivers on a lot of holes precisely because they combine length and control in a way that suits most courses.

Distance drivers

Distance drivers are designed for maximum distance and are typically used on open holes or situations where you have room for a longer throw. They have a higher “speed” and therefore usually require more speed in the throw to perform at their best. If you throw a very fast driver without having the speed, it can feel difficult to control and end earlier than you expect.

When you get the technique right, distance drivers can give you significantly more yards. That's why they're often something you gradually grow into. Many experienced players have several distance drivers in their back pocket because small differences in flight can be crucial depending on the wind, course, and the line you want to shape.

Flight numbers, stability and plastic – this is how you choose more safely

Discs are often marked with flight numbers , which give a hint about how they typically fly. They describe, among other things, speed, glide, and how the disc behaves at the beginning and end of its flight. The important thing is not to memorize the numbers, but to use them to compare discs and choose something that suits your level and throwing style.

Stability is also a key concept. Some discs are easy to spin and can feel more forgiving, while others are more wind resistant and finish more predictably. The type of plastic also plays a role in both grip and durability. Some plastics feel more “grippy,” while others maintain their flight characteristics longer, especially if you play frequently.

Most grippy

• Baseline plastic: Often used for putters and short throws where grip and “touch” are most important.
  
• Soft or Flex plastic: Good for putts and control shots, especially when it's cold or slightly damp.
  

Compromise - good grip + good durability

• Grippy premium plastic (e.g. “Star/ESP type”): Used as an all-rounder for both midranges and drivers when you want one safe choice that will last a long time.
  

Most durable - often smoother

• Rigid premium plastic: Used especially for drivers and discs you throw hard or often because it keeps the flight stable over time.
  
• Clear premium plastic (e.g. “Champion/Opto type”): Often used for drivers and in wind where you want high durability and a very predictable disc.

NewDisc – discs and equipment for your entire disc golf experience

At NewDisc you will find discs and equipment for both beginners and advanced players. If you are new, it often makes the most sense to start with a putter and a midrange, and then build on with a fairway driver when you want more distance with control. Over time, you can expand your bag with discs that cover more throwing lines, more stability in the wind and more options on the course.

In addition to discs, you can also find equipment that makes rounds easier and more manageable, such as bags , practical accessories and training gear. The goal is to make disc golf simple to get started and easy to develop in, whether you play for fun, for exercise or to get better round by round.
