Best Beginner Disc Golf Sets

April 10, 2026 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

Disc golf is a sport that is incredibly easy to get into. Most courses are free and people can pick up a nice set of discs for pretty cheap. In fact, the toughest thing about starting is knowing which discs to choose among the many options. That’s where a beginner disc golf set comes in. A good starter set gives you a good foundation to learn the game.

When you buy a beginner set, you aren’t just getting three random discs. A good beginner set gives you discs that work well for new players. They are carefully chosen molds that are easier to throw for newer players. Most of these molds can be used even after the player improves their form. With that in mind, let’s look at some of the best beginner disc golf sets.

Best Beginner Disc Golf Sets

1- Infinite Starter Set

This set is an awesome choice for a couple of reasons: First, it features molds that will allow you to actually use the discs right out of the box. The Sphinx is an understable fairway driver that is perfect for new players. Plus, as your skills improve you can use it as a hyzer flip or roller disc. The Anubis is a point-and-shoot mold that will hold the line and angle you put it on.

Second, the I-blend plastic that the Sphinx and Anubis come it Infinite’s I-Blend plastic. This plastic is one of my favorites because it has a great grippy fee, it is nearly as durable as any other plastic, and it is a little cheaper than other premium plastics.

2 – Doomsday Discs Prepper Set

If you aren’t familiar with Doomsday Discs, you should set aside some time to look into the brand. With an ‘end of the world’ theme, Doomsday has developed a loyal group of fans from around the world. All of the names of their discs, as well as the plastic names, follow their same theme. Doomsday Team members even get to help choose the names of new discs.

In this starter pack you get four discs and a mini marker. The discs include the Cataclysm, Dystopia, Despair in premium Survival plastic, and the Bleak putter in their soft Ration plastic. All of the discs will let beginners have a well-rounded set in their bag. And you’ll get a mini marker to use to mark your lie.

3 – Dino Discs Starter Set

Dino Discs is a brand that caters to new players, young players, and anyone else who need lighter and flippier discs. The starter set comes in their Egg Shell plastic, which can have some good looking effects. All of the molds are light weight for easier throws. They even float in water, in case you land in a pond.

Summary

A good starter set can makes buying discs a lot less intimidating, which makes disc golf a lot more enjoyable. The more you play, the more you will learn what discs you need for your skill level. That will make future disc purchases a little easier. However, as a beginner, these sets will get you started.

Now we would love to hear from you. If you started with a beginner set, what was your experience like? Did a particular disc become your go‑to?

The PDGA Disc Approval Process

April 7, 2026 Ted Hegemann Leave a comment

January 1, 1964 is a significant date in disc golf history. Sort of. That’s the date the PDGA lists as the first disc ever officially approved in their database. However, the PDGA didn’t exist at that time. Here’s how that went down.

The PDGA was founded in 1976. That was when they first started developing standards for what a disc golf disc should look like. That was the beginning of the approval process, but that didn’t address the discs that had been in play for years.

The approval dates for the first few discs were actually selected retroactively after the PDGA began, and were chosen based on the manufacture dates of the discs. According to the Flying Disc Museum website, prior to 1990 there were only a few standards that needed to be met for a disc to get approved. In fact, many discs were grandfathered in to the approved list and no application nor disc sample exists for those molds.

Early Requirements

One of the catalysts for developing standards that continue to this day is a man by the name of Jeff Homburg. This Tuscon resident has been approving discs and baskets for the PDGA since 1989! Check out this interesting blog from UDisc that details Jeff and the tools he uses to approve discs, HERE.

Early PDGA requirements were fairly simple. A disc had to:

Weigh ≤ 200 g, and
Weigh ≤ 8.3 g per cm of diameter,
Be at least 21 cm in diameter,
Have rim depth ≥ 5% of diameter.

In 1994, additional limits were added for rim sharpness, rim configuration, and disc rigidity (flex test). Over the next few decades, the requirements were refined and modified to include detailed measurement of rim depth, rim width, diameter, height, flexibility, stiffness, and sharpness. Even though there were more requirements that had to be met, the number of discs submitted for approval grew and grew.

As disc golf became more popular, there was a growing need for additional standards. The technical standards used to approve a disc today have been a work in progress, and have changed over time. Let’s check out the current approval process along with the current technical standards.

So, You Want to Get a New Disc PDGA Approved…

Obviously, the first step in getting a disc approved is to design and make a sample disc. The disc can be made with injection molding, but you can also use a 3D Printer or CNC machine. You’ll need three samples of the disc. Those samples go directly to Jeff Homburg. You’ll also need to submit a PDGA Disc Golf Disc Certification Request.

The fee to assess your mold is $300. Manufacturers who are in their first year of submitting discs receive a 50% discount. Once Jeff confirms that the fee has been paid and the Certification Request has been received, he will test the discs to make sure they fall withing the parameters set by the PDGA.

Specifications

There are nine measurements that are taken, using several different tools. Those measurements include:

Overall diameter,
2. Height,
3. Rim depth,
4. Rim width (thickness),
5. Inside rim diameter,
6. Rim configuration,
7. Leading‑edge radius (sharpness),
8. Flexibility, and
9. Flight‑plate thickness.

There are other considerations, such as no inflatable components, must be a non-magnetic material, electronics cannot be exposed, etc. Also, the disc cannot exceed 200 grams. For a complete list of technical standards, download the PDGA spec requirements HERE

If the discs submitted meets the guidelines set by the PDGA, the disc is approved for play in sanctioned tournaments. The specifications are then posted on the PDGA Approved Disc Golf Discs page.

If the disc is not approved, the manufacturer is notified of the failure and is told what specifications did not meet the requirements. Then the manufacturer can make changes to the disc in an attempt to bring the mold into the proper specs, then resubmit the disc.

How Many Discs Have Been Approved?

As you saw in the chart above, every year there are many molds submitted for PDGA approval. However, you really need to look at more recent data to see how the sport has blossomed recently.

Here is a chart showing the number of molds approved since the year 2000:

The growth of the sport in the last couple decades has led to a boom in the number of molds approved by the PDGA. Particularly in the last 5 years, when the pandemic gave disc golf a boost in sales, and new manufacturers emerged in an attempt to cash in on the increased demand.

How is This Year Looking

I pulled the data for the current year on March 20 (for a different blog), so I decided to get the data for March 20 of the past 6 years to see how this year compared to the boom years of the pandemic. Here are the results:

Other than the hot start in 2023, the year that saw more total molds approved than any other year in history, this year might be shaping up to be another great year for manufacturers. We’ll check back later in the summer to see how this year compares to past years.

PDGA Approved

Now when you see ‘PDGA Approved’ on a disc, you know what the disc went through to be able to make that proclamation. It may sound like a lot to go through, but it ensures that the discs our competitors are using fall within certain guidelines, which prevents players from having an unfair advantage. There are still discs out there that aren’t PDGA approved (like the fun and interesting Oxymoron), but those can’t be used in sanctioned competition.

Best Disc Golf Roller Discs

March 11, 2026 Ted Hegemann 9 comments

Learn the Best Roller Discs and Win a Gift Card

In disc golf, having a variety of shot types gives you a real advantage whether you are competing or simply trying to beat your personal best. Every course presents different challenges, so the more shot options you have, the easier it becomes to navigate tight lines, low ceilings, and tricky fairways. One one shot that doesn’t come up a lot but is nice to have when you need it, is the roller shot. In this guide we will break down what a roller is and highlight the best disc golf roller discs based on surveys and sales data.

What Is a Roller Shot?

A roller is a throw designed to hit the ground at an angle and continue moving by rolling on its edge. Players use rollers for short, technical escapes or for long distance shots when they need to cover a lot of ground. Rollers shine when you are dealing with low ceilings, open fairways, or situations where an air shot is not ideal. The challenge is landing the disc at the correct angle because even a small bump or uneven patch of ground can send the disc in an unexpected direction.

Learning to Throw Rollers

Many players have never attempted a roller and are unsure how to start, while others rely on the shot whenever the opportunity presents itself. This guide focuses on distance rollers rather than short technical ones. Once you learn how to throw a clean roller, the results can be impressive. Some of the longest throws on the course come from well executed rollers, and the shot can quickly become a favorite tool in your bag.

Most of the discs commonly used for rollers have a high amount of turn and are considered understable. This makes it easier for players of all skill levels to achieve the angle needed for the disc to tip over and start rolling. With enough arm speed almost any disc can be used as a roller, but the molds listed below are the ones most frequently recommended by players.

Best Disc Golf Roller Discs

Innova Sidewinder 9 | 5 | -3 | 1

The Sidewinder is built for rollers and turnover shots. Its high turn rating helps players get the disc to the correct angle with ease. While it may be too flippy for powerful throwers at full speed, it remains a versatile utility disc for players of all skill levels.

Innova Leopard 6 | 5 | -2 | 1

The Leopard is a popular beginner disc because it is easy to throw and easy to turn. With a bit of practice it becomes an excellent roller disc. Its low speed and controllable flight makes it a great option for learning how to throw rollers.

Infinite Discs Sphinx 9 | 6 | -3 | 1

The Sphinx is naturally suited for roller shots thanks to its understable flight numbers. It also works well as a turnover disc or a beginner friendly fairway driver. Lightweight I-Blend versions make it even easier to tip over into a smooth roller. In some plastics, like Metal Flake Glow C-blend, the stability of the plastic makes it a good choice for for rollers for better players.

Innova Roadrunner 9 | 5 | -4 | 1

The Roadrunner has long been a favorite roller disc. Its comfortable rim and high turn rating help beginners and experienced players alike achieve long, controlled rollers.

Innova Mamba 11 | 6 | -5 | 1

The Mamba offers even more turn than the Roadrunner and adds extra glide. It is an excellent choice for long rollers and big turnover shots. Many players rely on the Mamba as their primary roller disc.

Innova Rollo 5 | 6 | -4 | 1

The Rollo is a newer mold designed specifically for roller shots. It works well for players of all skill levels and can also be used for high turn air shots or shaping lines in the woods.

Prodigy F7 7 | 5 | -3 | 1

The F7 is a beginner friendly fairway driver that becomes a great roller disc in the hands of more experienced players. It is available in multiple plastics and offers reliable turn for both rollers and turnover shots.

Latitude 64 Diamond 8 | 6 | -3 | 1

The Diamond is one of the best beginner drivers on the market thanks to its light weight and easy to control flight. It also makes an excellent roller disc because it is simple get the disc to turn to the optimal angle.

Westside Queen 14 | 5 | -3 | 2

The Queen is a high speed driver that typically requires more power to use as a roller. In lighter weights or seasoned plastic it becomes a strong option for experienced players looking for long, fast rollers.

Prodiscus Flipperi 9 | 3 | -3 | 0

The Flipperi is marketed as a forgiving beginner disc and also works well as a roller. Made in Finland, it follows the Prodiscus tradition of adding a Finnish vowel to an English word. True to its name, it flips easily and delivers smooth, controlled rolls.

We Want to Hear Your Favorite Roller Discs, and You Could Win a Gift Card!

This list highlights some of the best disc golf roller discs, but it is far from complete. Player feedback has revealed more than 30 different molds used for rollers. The Sphinx and Roadrunner consistently rank near the top, and another popular choice is the Prodiscus Flipperi.

Let us know your favorite roller disc. We’ll select a few names and give them a $25 gift card. Make sure your email address is valid. One comment per person. We approve all posts to avoid spam, so your comment may not appear on the blog for a few days.

Best Disc Golf Discs For Women

March 2, 2026 Ted Hegemann 9 comments

Find the Best Discs For Women, Then Comment to Win

A lot of us spend time hunting for the perfect disc golf discs, trying to squeeze out a little more distance or a little more control. But as a guy, I also know that what works well for guys might not be the best fit for many women players. Strength, hand size, and throwing power can all influence which discs will fly the way they’re supposed to. So in the spirit of making disc golf more welcoming and accessible for everyone, I wanted to put together a guide focused specifically on discs that tend to work well for women.

We’ll look at the best drivers, midranges, and putters for women, along with the flight numbers and weights that usually pair well with lower‑power throws. Whether you’re brand new to the sport or already confident on the tee pad, choosing discs that match your power and form can make a huge difference in both distance and consistency.

Men generally have more upper‑body strength, longer arms, and bigger hands. That combination makes it easier to throw higher‑speed discs and handle heavier weights. Women (and younger players and new players) often get better results with discs that are lighter, slower, and more understable. These discs don’t require as much power to fly correctly, which means more distance and more fun.

Let’s Talk About Flight Numbers

Briefly, the four-number flight rating system that disc golf has adopted to describe the flight of a disc is the best way we have to categorize our discs. The four numbers represent (in the order they appear on the disc or a website):

Speed – the relative speed you need to be able to throw the disc in order for it to fly correctly.
Glide – How long the disc will stay in the air
Turn – The amount the disc will drift to the right (RHBH throw) at the fastest parts of its flight
Fade – The amount that the disc will drift to the left as it starts to slow down

Which Flight Numbers Should You Consider

Disc flight is shaped by four numbers: speed, glide, turn, and fade. Matching those numbers to your throwing power is the key to getting the flight you expect. Here’s a quick breakdown of what women (and newer players, kids, and anyone with lower power) should look for:

Speed (1–14): Stick to speed 9 or below unless you’re an advanced player. Faster discs need more power to fly right.
Glide (1–7): More glide = more distance. Look for glide in the 5–7 range.
Turn (-5 to 2): More turn helps you get long, easy S‑curves. Aim for -5 to -2.
Fade (0 to 5): Keep fade low (0 to 2, so the disc doesn’t hook left too early.

Don’t forget about weight

Lighter discs (150–165g) are easier to get up to speed, which helps them fly the way they’re designed to. This is one of the easiest ways to add distance without changing your form.

Best Disc Golf Cart

February 24, 2026 Ted Hegemann 6 comments

When I first started playing disc golf, I thought that the idea of using a cart was overkill. Bags aren’t that heavy and I had no problem lugging my Gorilla Boy Simian around the course. After I had been playing for a bit, I discovered that I had tons of discs sitting around that I never threw. I sold them all to a retail store and ended up with lots of store credit. That’s when I considered getting a cart.I liked my bag and preferred a cart that held my bag. That way I could easily remove the bag when I was playing a course that wasn’t cart friendly. I settled on a Zuca Backpack LG, which easily held my large bag.I got the bag from the retailer when they were vending at a tournament that I was playing. After playing the first round of the day without the cart, I got it set up and used it for the second round. I was hooked!

I loved how easy it was to push/pull the cart around. It didn’t matter how many backup discs I crammed in my bag, nor how much extra food/water/accessories I wanted to take. The effort to move the cart around the course was the same. And it was minimal.

In this blog, I’ll discuss the cart options you have, and mention what I like and dislike about the cart.

Types of Disc Golf Carts

Disc golf carts generally fall into two categories: carts that require a separate bag and carts with built in disc storage. Carts that require a separate bag allow you to attach your current bag quickly, while carts with built in storage require you to move your discs into the cart, which can be inconvenient if you frequently play on courses that are not cart friendly.

Carts That Require an Additional Bag

ZUCA Trekker and Trekker LG Cart

The Trekker and Trekker LG are based on the ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG. The Trekker uses a 22 inch axle and holds 20 to 25 discs, while the LG uses a 24 inch axle and holds up to 30 discs. Both include a telescoping handle and a built in seat rated for up to 300 pounds.

Likes: Built in seat, no additional bag needed
Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, takes up significant transport space

ZUCA Compact Cart

A smaller, lighter option for players who carry fewer discs. It uses a 22 inch axle and includes a built in seat, though it sits lower than other models.

Likes: Easy to move, easy to transport, built in seat, low center of gravity
Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, limited storage space

ZUCA All Terrain Cart

A larger version of the Compact Cart with space for up to 32 discs, additional pockets, and interior storage.

Likes: Built in seat, plenty of storage
Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses

ZUCA Transit Cart

This model includes a built in disc bag with extra storage underneath, a 24 inch axle, and a built in seat. It holds up to 25 discs.

Likes: Built in seat, extra storage
Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, limited additional disc capacity

Frame Carts: Use Your Own Bag

Frame carts allow you to attach or insert your existing disc golf bag so your discs stay in the same place whether you are using the cart or carrying the bag. Some include seats while others do not, and they come in two, three, or four wheel designs.

ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG

These carts include a seat, telescoping handle, and water bottle holders. All storage comes from your attached bag. The Backpack uses a 22 inch axle and the LG uses a 24 inch axle.

Likes: Easy bag removal, built in seat
Dislikes: Large for transport, requires a bag purchase, limited storage

MVP Rover 2 Cart

A compact, lightweight cart with water bottle holders and a telescoping handle. It has a low center of gravity but no seat.

Likes: Easy bag removal, simple transport, good maneuverability
Dislikes: Requires a separate bag, no seat

ZUCA EZ Cart

This cart includes a shelf for your bag and extra storage underneath but does not include a seat.

Likes: Easy bag removal, extra accessory space, compact transport
Dislikes: Requires a separate bag

Rovic RV1D 2.0

A foldable push cart originally designed for ball golf. It holds any disc golf bag and includes a locking brake, storage space, drink holders, and an umbrella holder. It struggles on uneven ground when pushed forward but pulls easily over rough terrain.

Likes: Easy to push, many accessories available, compact when folded, convenient bag height
Dislikes: Non pivoting front wheel, accessory costs, small water bottle holders

BagBoy Disc Golf Quad XL Push Cart

A four wheel push cart with excellent stability, built in storage, a drink holder, and an umbrella holder. A handle mounted brake keeps it secure on hills.

Likes: Very stable, easy to push, higher bag position, built in accessory storage
Dislikes: Expensive optional seat, pricey accessories, non pivoting front wheels, small bottle holder

How to Choose the Right Disc Golf Cart

To find the best cart for your needs, consider whether you mainly play on cart friendly courses, whether you have enough vehicle space, how much storage you want, whether you plan to use it for tournaments, your budget including accessories, and whether you want a seat during rounds. Once you answer these questions, you can narrow your options and choose the style and color that fit your preferences.

Final Thoughts

Many disc golfers who invest in a cart say they will never go back, and with all the benefits they offer, it is easy to see why. Use this guide to find the best cart for your game and explore the selection at Infinite Discs. We would love to hear from you. Do you use a cart, and if so, which one? If not, which cart seems like the best fit for your needs, or what keeps you from getting one?
