Beginner Disc Golf Mistake - Frustration & Cash - Avoid These

[@chainraiderdiscgolf]

What beginners don't understand is the flight ratings. It takes a lot of arm speed to get a 12/13/14 speed disc to fly properly. The best thing for a beginner is to work on their form and throw a putter. A putter will reveal their flaws and will help to throw straight. Then I would step up to a midrange and/or a fairway driver. I would not go above a 9 speed until the person starts getting the proper throwing form down. A fairway driver is way more controllable and doesn't take as much arm speed to throw and have the disc work properly...... Great video, by the way!!!

I'd just add that a 12 or so will help your forehand as a beginner in my experience. But no, you wont bomb it on the backhand.
