Default I am New.......

Hello all! My wife and I got into disc golfing from my brother who held a gun to our head and said "boy... if you dont join disc golf....gonna have to shoot you". So.... we are here. (My brother is also on here..... he might be called Zippyboy)

We have played a few courses and I love it.

I do not really know what I need for equipment. Got some discs. What am I missing?

Yes. Time to get used to throwing all the plastic you bought. I would suggest a Buzzz, but really, take the time to get used to throwing what you already have. Hope you guys have been having fun!

For just getting started that's more than enough discs. The best advice I could give is to start out with just a putter and a Roc until you can throw the Roc straight at least 200ft. When you're ready, step up to your Eagle or TL. Once you have full control over those discs you'll be ready to break out your high speed drivers and use them as they were intended. Remember, the biggest determining factor for how a disc flies is probably it's speed (determined by the width of the wing). Have fun and good luck!
