7 Discs EVERY Disc Golfer NEEDS In Their Bag!

Welcome back Justice League! In this video, I go over 7 discs I think every disc golfer needs in their bag! Now I'm not talking about specific discs, I am talking about disc slots as disc stability depends on each individuals arm speed.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned disc golfer, having a few discs in your bag is always a good idea but it can be overwhelming to figure out which spots are actually necessary and which ones are a luxury. So in this video, I break down the different types of discs I think should have in your bag, and how to best use them. By the end of the video, you'll have everything you need to be a successful disc golfer!

This is exactly what I was looking for! Really trying to focus on the shape of the glide versus specific discs. I am a rather beginner, so this is super helpful for me! Cheers from Tennessee

Hope it helps!! Cheers for the support fam! 🙏🏽

[@davea5884]

Definitely dropping a like just for that dinger on hole 1. Great throw man!

[@rageoid]

Ton of win in this, you show and use the highlighted discs. I thought I heard you say you've been playing for around a year - that is exponential evolution - very smooth throws ! I enjoy 3 disc rounds to unburden myself at times - Leopard, Wraith, and Mako3 (great putt disc as well as mid).

[@jereschr]

Yes! I bag 3 proxies, one Eclipse, one Plasma and one Fission. I bag an old innova domey FD (absolute money) and an Innova star TL, a VIP iCE Orbit Bear and a Z swirl undertaker that is more like 9 5 0 2 but can get it to turn when thrown hard (it's also really good in the wind so i use it also when it's windy). I have 3 zones, from which i bag 1 z flx, then as a straight to little stable putter i have a hard exo Tactic, I have 2 buzzzes and 1 buzzz ss and an innova mako3. As overstable control drivers i use a discraft Raptor (straight and fade also great in high winds) and a Captain's raptor (really overstable but can also get some distance out of it). As main distance drivers i have an esp Scorch and Grand Orbit Grace. I do use an esp swirl nuke and golden horizon cloud breaker but i mainly throw my 11 speeds.

just got started disc golfing and so glad I found this video!

[@alanlundberg4534]

Great video. Good variety and advice.

[@DiscGolfandChill]

Another helpful video, Justice! I think your list is solid. I bag the Fierce as my understable putter - the disc is money for straight upshots and shorter par 3s. It's also the first and only disc I've aced with!

[@discgolfjustice]

Thank you! 🙏🏽 I’ve heard a lot of good things about the fierce, I almost got one instead of the deputy when I first started

[@JaceHanley]

We pretty much have the same bag! Now that I’ve seen this I will look into a felon and a wave, thanks for the vid!

[@prestochango23]

Justice!! Never thought i'd come across you on here!

[@mitchbguitars3433]

I totally agree! Bag the disc that already has the flight your looking for. Yes don't bag a disc to beat it in for the disc you want it to turn into.

[@nicholasnoah6529]

great putting

[@jlb122587]

This was a solid breakdown and demo of various disc types. I think I am the minority with this suggestion, but do you or anyone you know treat putters the same as the other slots? For example, I bag a rhyno as my main putter, warden as a neutral putter if I need it to go straighter longer, and deputy for those anny putts that I don't want to have any finish on. I like this kinda format, you killed it dude. Subscribing to see what you come up with next.

[@mporentas]

Hey man, I really like your videos.

[@mindlander]

Great video. Funny enough, I rock with all the same discs as you except I use an rpm kea for the zone slot, I like the different feel.

[@discgolfjustice]

Great minds think alike 😉 thank you for the support! 🙏🏽

[@pixrguy]

I was using a Get Freaky Zone until I found Goose's soft zone. I have since gone back and bought up more of that run. It's on Team Discraft's site and is still available. They are money. I want my Zones to land and stick. That's what Goose's soft zones do.

[@traviswhitworth6506]

I just started this hobby. I've been out 3 times now. I'm learning the mechanics, so my throws aren't long. My longest is pushing 200... Which overshot the basket a fair account, 😬 That was with a neutron crave. I still have a ways to go and a lot to learn and figure out, but man I'm loving the crave. I'm usually it and the diamond for "drives.". That's all I can handle right now... And they can be challenging to me. I'm having a blast and have made pretty strong improvement in just the 3 days since I started.

[@discgolfjustice]

Sounds like you’ve been bit by the bug! Hahaha welcome to the club 😉

[@Babl069]

For some more wooded courses a really flippy fairway is also a must have. Something you know is going to turn over when thrown flat and not come back. Also for little chip forehands out of the woods, those things are money.

[@discgolfjustice]

Yep I agree I actually made a video shortly after this where I talk about how having a very flippy disc can be useful 💯

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

my beat in fuse gold ice, IS the understable woods disc I use. Its like a longer Aviar classic. A lot of throwing up hills in the woods = understable discs in the bag. For some serious fun, I toss a pearl, a diamond and a fission insanity. Stupid understable and risky, but magic when just right. My typical goto is a 150's nuetron crave for low flip up straight shots.

[@mitchbguitars3433]

I know how to fix your putting for good. Do this one thing & you'll make more Putts more than you ever have. Hold the putter like you normally do while standing in your putter stance. Now hang it horizontal, let the pinky carry the weight with your fingers balanced underneath like you normally would,(don't over bend the picky to compensate let the pinky settle relaxed but firm. Now softly close your thumb grip to make the disc stable, Do not hold it tight or firm, hold the disc softly & Stable. Now bring the disc back to throwing position. You'll get a good feel to it then you'll know your doing it right. Throw your normal style putt with the new grip. You've got this Champ 😉👍🏼

[@stephanieparrish4742]

10:53 exactly, I heard a lot of old schoolers say there's way too many companies, way too many discs out now, just beat in a DX Destroyer and voila, there's your Grace. Beat in a Roc3 for a Mind Bender. Save money! 🤦‍♂ I know this video came out awhile back, but the new Vanguard came out from Discmania. Was seriously wanting those speeds but through Discmania plastic. Was throwing the new Lat64 Honor before. But all in all there's really nothing wrong with throwing for one company. It's like being a fan of Nike or Adidas. I don't know, some people don't care what they wear, but it matters to me.

Funny how similar our disc choices are I throw the innercore, eclipse envy, esp zone, buzzz tursas for the straight shots, FD, raptor, grace, hades for distance drivers. Seems like some of those discs are maybe very useful for many players.

[@bruceleo2607]

I have three Waves. Proton, Fission, and Eclipse 2.0. Fission bombs! Proton is nice and stable, and the eclipse... I haven't thrown yet. I just got it for my glow league bag. Guessing its going to be beefy. Love the Wave!

[@justinpk422]

After I started bagging the Spin from MVP in premium plastic about a year ago I haven’t been able to take it out. It’s such a reliable under stable putter, I’d encourage anybody to try them especially in the 160-170g weights if they haven’t be able to find a putter that is under stable for them.

[@discgolfjustice]

I’ve never tried out the spin I’ll have to see if I can find one 💯

[@robertjones1730]

I can't live without a neutral distance driver like the sword in VIP plastic. When aimed straight at the target with a slight flex it's the closest I can get to a 400' dead straight drive finishing right where I aimed it but I specialize in straight shooting, I'm bad at big hyzers. For all my slight flex shooting needs I only need 4 discs, jawbreaker banger GT, ethos pathfinder, champion teebird and VIP sword. For dead straight flicking, max weight cosmic neutron crave, champion thunderbird, max weight domey Grace. (at least for my arm speed, I'm max distance 400' backhand, 320' forehand)

[@billherrera6386]

Proxy, Envy, Pyro, Glow Hex(Fission Reactor), Fission Crave(Rhythm), Volt(Fireball, Tesla), Fission Insanity, Defy, and Fission Photon for drives. Those are the basic 7 types I have before Simon made MVP cool. Always loved the way MVP disc fly.

[@JoshJackson13]

My Esp meteor is my understable putter slot. I do have a deputy and Luna but I have a really good touch 4hand so I prefer the glow Envy pyro and zone line up. I do bag a glow Reko too for Back hand but it doesn't turnover or glide

[@JoshJackson13]

My straight fairway line up is stock neutron Relay DX thunderbird and big z vulture

[@JoshJackson13]

4 hand straight shot I use gstar krait 375ft. Star firebird 330. Big z machete 300. PYRO 270

I almost bought my first felon yesterday it feels good in my hand looks like it would Skip bad. I do like my star firebird. I mainly use my machete though and Vulture on Back hand.

[@villekonttinen5018]

The thing about minimalizing molds is that you can't really plan it beforehand. When done right it kinda just happens. You suddenly find yourself on a spot where you notice your go to workhorse disc just doesn't do the thing anymore. But then you also go like "huh, it kinda flies like my more understable option that I don't quite like as much anyway.." and now you fill in the understable spot with the worn disc (but keep the other one as a spare in case you lose the beaten in disc or something) and just buy a new workhorse of the same mold because you really like it. Depending on the discs you might also start thinking if you could find more overstable version of the disc in different plastic or just a more domy/flat version that has the same effect. sooner or later the understable one starts to roll and you cycle in more and boom you have 3 or 4 of the same mold and feel satisfied that they are all that you need for that speed/range category. The wrong way is to instantly buy 2 to 3 of the same disc with the pretence of cycling them in and finding yourself just trowing the exact same discs for a while and potentially finding out that the mold/plastic in question just doesn't fly good when beaten in. The molds are of different shape and some just cycle in better with wear while others kinda just turn unusable🤷 Personally I'm really into cycling the discs but out of everything I bag/have tried I've only been blessed with a midrange (tournament/revived plastic Warship from westside discs) and slower fairway category (axiom discs crave) that I have like 3 of both and currently only need one other outright overstable mold of the speed category in addition. Recently got into wraiths and I really hope they'll be the ones from the distance category for me.

[@villekonttinen5018]

Might also check the photons some time. I got a fission wave but lately it just flips way too much despite being from the higher end of weight range

[@discgolfjustice]

Ya I completely understand why some people like mo minimalism specially if you really like a particular disc. But if you loose one of your most beat I’m versions and the next in line isn’t beat in enough what do you do? That’s why I think it’s just better to buy the actual disc that flies the way you’re looking for

[@discgolfjustice]

Ya give a photon a try then they are very stable even at light weights

[@villekonttinen5018]

@@discgolfjustice Very true. I usually start by the "normal" way of having a disc of every ends of stabilities from the speed categories I like so personally I do have back up molds for the most understable beaten in unicorn discs. I do rely on the straight controllable ones the most tho.

@@discgolfjustice it's worth trying it out to see if it has a spot in your bag. I play a lot of wooded courses in Massachusetts/New Hampshire that you need something that will flip up straight big turn and fade out to the basket. I recommend you road trip to maple hill, it's worth it.

[@steviewonder2492]

Did you use a putter on a tee? If so, was this because it’s a short hole and you needed a straight shot? Thanks!

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

Putters are typically less sensitive to nose angle, and make it easier to NOT overthrow tee shots of shorter variety. Most t-shots of 150' flat or 200' slight downhill, and I throw an aviar or wizard at it. I have a noodle arm, but if I huk a mid range too hard, it passes the basket. On the flip side, if i have to max power throw a putter, I'd be better off throwing a fuse or matrix or Mako3 or something. As I max out my power, my accuracy goes to sh*t, exponentially. A 3/4 power fuse tends to work better for me, than a 100% powered aviar or wizard. Same distance, but more consistency when not pushing my power limits. Fwiw, Im a 275' thrower on a good day, played since the 90's and am just getting worse this point. I play wooded courses, so elevation differences make a HUGE difference in disc selection. Understable for uphill, overstable for downhill. Wind direction also plays a big part.

I have a problem with not being able to Throw Flat . Basisally, My Backhand always comes out with some Hyzer... So, I compensate with Understable drivers mostly. I Just received my new Lizoottle Hex a few days ago... Should I actually Throw it?? It was $49!!!

[@discgolfjustice]

I had a very similar issue when I first started. No matter how hard I tried I always threw on a slight hyzer. What helped me was stating to over exaggerate throwing flat so it almost felt like I was leaning backwards but in reality I was flat. That’s where what some of the KZbin coaches refer to as feel vs real
