(Part 2) Best disc golf equipment according to redditors

Well since we're discussing it in this thread, why not collaborate on something? Here's a start, feel free to offer suggestions and/or add to it.

I was going to throw some videos/channels to look at for technique but work is about to pick up so I don't have time right this second.

Beginner disc reccomendations:
First, disc down. You don't need a high speed driver as a beginner, because there's about a 99% chance you lack the proper arm speed and technique to throw it the way it needs to be thrown to fly properly.

With that said, here are some specific disc recommendations:

Fairway driver: Lat 64 River, Innova Teebird, Innova Leopard

Midrange: Innova Roc, Discraft Buzzz, Discraft Comet

Putter: Innova KC Aviar, Gateway Wizard (alternative is if you're lucky enough to be near a disc golf store, go there and pick up a few different putters, and buy whichever one feels comfortable in your hand)

There are also starter kits available via Amazon and various sporting goods stores. The most common being the Innova DX starter set (DX is a less durable type of plastic), the Innova Champion starter set (champion plastic is more durable). Discraft also makes starter sets, some with bags and some without.

You can buy discs individually at:

• discgolfcenter.com
  
• communitydiscs.com
  
• dynamicdiscs.net
  
• marshallstreetdiscgolf.com

[This set] (https://www.amazon.com/INNOVA-Disc-Golf-Starter-Set/dp/B079581M7S/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=CE9SZR9SWPMX&keywords=disc+golf+set&qid=1570319506&sprefix=disc+golf+s%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExN0Y1OU42OUhBVEpSJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjgyOTk1TFNDTkNLTVBGSTlHJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyMDMzMTdJR1dZVldXRTlFSUMmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl). You think it is okay. After some brief reading, I was planning on just using like 2 disc the first few times (teebird and aviar). Just going to go out and throw the first few times to see what comes naturally. Probably going to be back hand dominant.

The Fade Crunch Box will fit that bill for around $30 (more colors around the net if you look). It's marketed as a 12 disc bag, and has a divider. I bet I could fit 10 discs in (2 in the putter pocket) and a six pack without much coercion. It's not insulated... but for the money, I'd just toss a few ice packs in there.

It's very well made, I routinely carry a 2L of water with me on the course, no signs of wear on the bag yet.

As for straps, I got the LC-1 H-type military suspenders for about $15 shipped. I can't justify spending $50 on straps... these do the job quite nicely.

Just a quick look at amazon gives you 12 reviews

this?

Not a clamp, but these work great imo, multiple color options and fairly cheap.. though if your trying to light up a full course the cost will add up
lunar module

DD Trooper Bag @ $40 is probably the easiest entry level backpack style bag to get into

Then DD Sniper Backpack is up from there with more storage, and a streamlined boxy look at about $80



Upper Park Designs Shift @ $130-$140 is popular, but often sold out.

MVP Voyager Slim can has a huge price range depending on color from $115 to $175, which seems odd

After that you're into 200$ and up for bags, or real cheap no-name chicom stuff from amazon. Some of it may be good, but still at the same price point as the Innova and DD I just went with a name I associate with Disc Golf already.

I personally chose the Innova for cost to storage ratio at 80 bucks seemed like a good bet. It's been good so far, but only time will tell.

Start playing disc golf. You can get a simple bag and a handful of discs for <$50. No green fees. Good exercise to go out and walk around. Totally normal to play solo and then join other groups out playing (or let them join you). Super social. https://localwiki.org/chico/Disc_Golf

It has held up pretty well especially for the price and it says 8 but it will hold 9 including the front putter pocket. I just took out my least used discs or the ones I didn't think would be good for the course.

I have a NEW black Innova Deluxe bag with NEW back saver straps.

I won these at a tournament. I'll do both for $50.

i have no idea! but hopefully people will be able to give some feedback about this one, the fade crunch box, as that is the one i am debating getting. some better pictures are on the fade website and some reviews are on amazon.

i don't really want to end up carrying a bunch of discs, and i just want something that can switch between carrying a full 12 discs, or a half load and some brewskis. what kind of bags are you eyeing?

This deal is the deal. I wish there was a costco nearby...Here's the product on amazon:

Average review is 2.7 stars, so beware.

EDIT: But for 20$, thats a sweet deal.

This has been a big hit at our house in addition to the backyard basket. 😁 5 year old daughter loves to join in on rounds (if it’s not too hot because, Oklahoma 🥵)

https://www.amazon.com/MVP-Disc-Sports-Module-Basket/dp/B07CQ332L1/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 these are good and cheap! They work great. You'll have to change batteries every once in a while.

I have a Dynamic Discs Trooper bag: Dynamic Discs Trooper Disc Golf... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GSYJMR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. I really like it, and it holds what I need.

I’m having the same problems with looks, I like the size of the Innova Hero bags, but don’t really care for the colors/design it comes in.

I picked this one up that was recently linked in this sub. Quite impressed with it. Same construction as the MVP / Axiom, just unbranded. ~99$ + 5% discount you can apply. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SSHXYTX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

...Less than stellar reviews of the construction on Amazon. I think a determined buyer could easily strengthen the construction of the product themselves though, so probably worth it.

Yaheetech Disc Golf Basket... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSHXYTX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I was in the same dilemma and after long debate on which one I should buy I ended up going with the Innova Discatcher Traveler for $122 on Amazon and don't regret it for a second.

The quality is so much better than the Franklin Sports and it has real chains. Folds up nicely and includes a carrier bag and all accessories needed to set it up. Spend a little more, you won't regret it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RU1UV8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is this a good set? https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Disc-Golf-Starter-Set/dp/B079581M7S/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=1CWCWMN460H5L&keywords=disc%2Bgolf&qid=1555891356&s=gateway&sprefix=disc%2B&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1

I said almost.

Sorry 'bout that. It's the Fade Crunch: http://www.amazon.com/Fade-Gear-Crunch-Disc-Small/dp/B001FSZA60

Though if I were to pick a bag again, I'd definitely take a look at the Voodoo stuff. It's so awesome.

LED Multi colored basket light by MVP

I think the 3rd pic that you are talking about it a completely different basket.
The mvp black hole with the band is a black hole pro basket
MVP Black Hole Pro 24-Chain Portable Disc Golf Basket Targetblack hole pro
That one is about 150$

I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Champion-Discs-DISCatcher-Traveler/dp/B008RU1UV8/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=innova+disc+golf+basket&qid=1566831074&s=gateway&sr=8-4

It doesn't catch as well as a normal basket but it's fairly obvious when you would have nailed a put on a normal basket and when you wouldn't have.

I like it because it folds up into just bigger than a camping chair. I like to take it camping or on family vacations where there is a lot of space so it fits easily into my van.

Are you referring to the below set?
https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Material-Stack-Disc-Golf/dp/B06XDFWS8L/ref=sr_1_3?crid=U0CQVDWD5GCK&keywords=innova+disc+golf+set&qid=1565620622&s=gateway&sprefix=innova+disc%2Caps%2C319&sr=8-3

Maybe this is worse than a mediocre basket, but here's a possibility that I've been looking at for backyard putting.

Innova Champion Discs DISCatcher Traveler, Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RU1UV8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_y5rbAb90DZ42V

This is the one I'm gonna buy.

It is all over Northern New England. I'd say there are about 8 courses within an hour of me and two I would consider to be "in" my town (one is just outside but really close). My neighbors actually have one of these in their back yard for practice.

I played Ultimate in college so we overlapped a fair amount with disc golf players, so maybe I am just more aware of it than other people. It is a wildly popular sport but plenty of people up here play it.

A bag really isn't necessary for only 3-4 discs. It's just preference though. You can get a bag like this that holds around 15 discs for pretty cheap.

I got this one and it works really well.

They are showing pictures of two different baskets. As each basket has different chain configurations. One just has 24 outer chains, while the other has a set of inner chains.

The one with inner chains, has heavier/beefier chains. Looks identical to an MVP Black Hole Pro. They retail for about $140.

The basket with just the outer chains look like the baskets sold under the name Yaheetech. They retail at Amazon for about $100 each.

I'm not sure I'd order 10 or more of these baskets directly from China. For 10 baskets, I'd expect shipping to cost $300 to $500, more than what the baskets are worth. Maybe if I owned an import business, where I had my own shipping containers being shipped regularly. Maybe then it would be worth the hassle and the wait.

Anyways, you could probably get the Yaheetech on sale for about $85. Black Hole Pros are sometimes on sale for about $120. These aren't very heavy duty baskets though, and probably won't do well, if you keep them outside in the elements. Guess that's why they are considered portable.

If you search and asked around locally, maybe you could find some good USED baskets. It just matters where you are located. If it's a popular disc golf area, you may be in luck, as some courses get new baskets every 10 years or so, and they sell the old used ones for a nice discount.

I'm digging the price on this one compared to other stuff. Looks about the same as this Yaheetech.

This basket will do everything you need it to do. Same basket as the discmania one with a different paintjob. Same as the hive basket as well. $20 cheaper than when i bought it as well.

Sorry I am late, but if you want a little bit cheaper option, this Fade bag is great. I have had mine for years and it is still good as new.

Paired with the innova back pack straps its even better. https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Backsaver-Bag-Strap/dp/B004AQFEMY/ref=pd_bxgy_200_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004AQFEMY&pd_rd_r=SCPNNHV88HRKWZMHP14Q&pd_rd_w=xn40e&pd_rd_wg=dJbxi&psc=1&refRID=SCPNNHV88HRKWZMHP14Q

https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Mini-DISCatcher-Disc-Golf/dp/B01E4C19EA

I purchased this last week. Not for kids but for myself. It comes w/ 5 discs and is amazingly fun. The kids can do it around the house and maybe bangin' them chains on a small scale will help get them into bigger discs

I just made the jump to a backpack recently and went with the Sniper. It's quite a bit cheaper than most of the other options and after a couple months it seems to be holding up great. One thing I like about it compared to ones I see other people using is that it has a pocket that can hold a light jacket. That's been really useful this time of year.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2OEBUK

I’ve been using this for a year https://www.amazon.com/Innova-Champion-Discs-Standard-Black/dp/B00DF41CV4

Fits 9 discs comfortably. Can fit two tall boys. It doesn’t have great balance but gets the job done for me.

We bought this one for my son last Christmas and it has been outside ever since. Overall it is still in great condition.

I like the innova disccarrier with backpack straps. kindof lets you have the backpack and the satchel if you just loop one arm. I'm a beginner/intermediate too.

this+this

ends up being $85
