  • I used the Innova starter pack as a beginner. I would recommend the Discmania starter pack to a new player

  • I didn’t start with a starter pack, but I did start with a starter pack disc. I just bought a Shark from a dude that was selling discs at hole 1 at the course my friend took me to. This was in 2002. I don’t know if starter packs were a thing then.

    In terms of recommending a starter pack, I think it kinda depends on what type of beginner we’re dealing with. An adult with an athletic background can probably handle some heavier and more stable discs compared to a kid just starting out. In general though, I think they all probably work fine.

  • Prodigy Ace Line Set.
    Probably played 50 rounds. Nothing flashy just simple and fun.

    Now I would probably suggest someone just grab a mako3 and putter that feels good in their hand.

  • I didn’t start with a starter set. I “curated” my own based on online comments about Innova’s starter set at the time, which included the Destroyer.

    Nowadays I would recommend Innova’s starter set. The Aviar-Shark-Leopard combination they offer today is a real winner, in my eyes. That Destroyer can wait. . .

  • My wife got me a 5-disc Innova DX starter set. It worked pretty well for me; but although I got good distance with the drivers, I was pretty frustrated the first year with how far the Destroyer would veer off to the left, and how easily the DX plastic got beat up.

    I see a lot of good starter sets out there. From my own experience, I’d avoid the real base grade plastics, though. Divergent’s starter sets in Max Grip might be a good choice for their combination of variety, price, and plastic quality. If a person is fairly athletic, I might suggest one of the larger sets of discs so they can experiment from the outset with a wider variety to find what works best for them (and if the price point isn’t too much of a put-off).

    I started out with a Discraft starter set that I really didn’t know how to throw! Now, after some practice and an injured shoulder, I rely on my Divergent Discs starter set. Those discs have completely changed my game for the better!

  • Westside Queen Box was fantastic! Not sure if that counts

  • Infinite has a great starter set! You’ll be throwing those discs even as you improve!

  • I wish I’d had access to a Divergent set when I first started as those discs taught me a lot and really helped after I discovered them. However, that being said. Everyone has to have a Leopard at some point. the Innova set is a classic and for the price and the introduction to the sport, the discs are perfect to go thrash around for a few afternoons to see if the bug will bite. After it does, move on up and out to better plastics but remember where ya came from!

  • I used the Innova DX Starter Set and used some of those disc for awhile. My son still uses his Leopard from that set from 4 years ago, it has some wear and tear.

  • I started with an Innova set that was sold via Amazon. It had five discs in campion plastic, Aviar, Ryno, Roc3, Shark3, and Teebird. I bought two sets and played mids only with a couple of buddies for the first year or two.

  • Innova starter set! My family bought one when I was growing up before we knew anything about disc golf and then I took them for my own when I started getting into it. I soon outgrew the aviar and leopard, but the shark remains a staple in my bag that I use for myself and anyone I’m introducing the sport to.

  • Innova still make the best starter set out there. It is readily available and priced right.

  • The innova starter pack is my go to to give beginner disc golfers!
