What should i buy for my daughter

[Phatjay]

Wow thanks for all the great advice. I've been playing for quite awhile but i've never played as an 11 year girl. Maybe like an 11 year old girl but not as one so this was out of my expertise. Well to tell you the truth I am no expert so I have very little expertise.

Ok done rambling thanks again.

Thanks Bob I try to keep plenty of light weight plastic in stock at Rainy Day Games so come check us out when you get the chance. As always, ask a staff member for help if you don't see what you want at first glance.

After further review, the disc is actually a 124g Buzz Lite. I was told it was a 90g, but after weighing it myself I found the real weight.

there were three old mold xd's at next adventure, 1 156g and 2 160g, when i was there last week.

So ladies in all your wisdom and experience what would you suggest for me to buy for her?

Wow i'm so excited and looking forward to spending time with her out on the course.

Thank you so much for your suggestions.

Stingray....best 1st Disc, by a long shot.

Gotta Go Gotta Throw has the 125 Buzzz Lights for a whopping 6 bucks, plus shipping.

There is also a couple of 120 class Rocs on eBay at this time. eBay can be an excellent source for ultra light plastic.

I also recommend the lighter putters. While a argument can be made that lighter is not necessary because of the short distances involved, lighter putters fly easier with less effort.

Yesterday I received a very bright orange 100g Polecat in the mail that I ordered from Discgolfcenter.com for my three-year-old daughter Ellie. She was very excited when we wrote her name on it. This is her first actual golf disc that is hers and only hers (although we are going to work on sharing with little sister from time to time). She throws it upside down and gets an average of 10 to 15 feet on her throw.

My 4 year old is totally ripping the R-pro boss 135 g... got it around 140 feet once. Light discs will become more and more popular as our kids grow up and fill up junior divisions...

... delightful image!!! and seriously... super good on ya' for letting her throw how feels natural to her... that's the biggest favor one can do for a child on the golf course is to just shut your face and let them throw... especially at super young ages... they will figure it out eventually what works best for them, but if they are constantly being talked at and bossed... they ain't gonna love it...
