Best Disc Golf Drivers for Beginners
Summer is here and disc golf courses are becoming overcrowded throughout the country. During this annual flock to the courses the great sport we call disc golf is being discovered by thousands of new rookies. As beginning disc golfers learn about the complexities of the game, the first thing they typically want to know is, “what are the best disc golf drivers?”
To a new disc golfer, the ‘best’ driver typically means the one that will fly farthest — It’s all about getting distance. Beginners rarely want to start out with a “slow” midrange or putter.
When a new disc golfer first glances the many varieties of available drivers, they often assume that high speed discs will go farther. Experienced disc golfers know this is rarely the case. Until a player develops sufficient technique, other discs are best.
True, not all new players to the sport will start be at the same skill level. Define beginner as you would like. What we want to know is which disc is the best for your typical beginner.

This summary is a great overview of many posts. Feel free to read more below and find some real gems of advice!
The first disc I started driving with was the mamba. It’s a great disc to start out with because it was under stable and wouldn’t go directly left like every other disc I started out with. I really like it now since I can get it to follow the s type flight path.
I didn’t have any form of experience in disc throwing really before disc golf.
My first driver was a Discraft Avenger SS, which was great.
I recommend the Discraft Avenger SS to newer plays that I help introduce to the game. Get the Pro D plastic simply because it will be the least stable out of the box and you can find it in a much lighter weight.
I’ve also seen discs like the Leopard, the Amp, and the Underworld do well for beginners.
In the beginning make it about having fun. Don’t worry about throwing super far or making every putt. Just have fun with the game. If you do want to keep playing the game and start getting better then go on youtube and watch the demonstration videos or, if you have a local pro, go ask them if you could tag along for a round and just learn all you can. However, always keep it about the game and just having fun.
What prior disc-throwing experiences did you have before you played disc golf?
I played Ultimate Frisbee a lot with my small group at the youth group I was attending ten years ago. We met every Sunday and Tuesday afternoon to play a couple of rounds. Quite often one of my youth leaders would pick me up from my house just so we could play catch. He actually took me out for a couple of rounds of disc golf ten years ago, though we only played a couple of times and neither of us were good at it.
I’m working at a different church now and my coworkers and I frequently go out to play catch in the parking lot, and we play disc golf together every Sunday, too.
What drivers do you recommend for new disc golfers?
If we were to speak Innova’s numbers, anything speed 9 and below that will turn a little easier and fade back in without demanding a lot of power. Most new players tend to throw back-handed (left or right), so a disc that will help work with that release angle will get them better results at the beginning.
Fairway drivers also have longevity because they keep you a little more accountable with your form as you get better by being a little less forgiving as your form develops.
My first driver was a DX Valkyrie, which I wish I’d stuck with longer before I fell into the trap of buying high-speed distance drivers early on because I developed little quirks in my form that I have to correct now. Disc down, start slow, and give yourself room to grow into those faster discs.
What discs worked well for you when you were new to the game? Why?
There were two midranges that worked well for me back then–a beat-up DX Roc (one of my first three discs that I got from a friend) and a Star Mako. Those discs really helped level out my drives and my approaches and taught me how to throw more accurately. I didn’t start seriously working on my form until this year, but those two midranges helped me correct a lot of things in my form that I wasn’t aware of before when I started out.
What new discs have you seen work well for beginners that you wish you would have had?
Not so much discs I wish I had, but discs I wish I didn’t dismiss so quickly. The Valkyrie was one of them. My girlfriend started playing and she has a Pro Valkyrie that works really well for her; she doesn’t really put power into her throws and she’s starting to level them out a little more, but she puts a hyzer on it and the disc will flip straight on her before fading gently.
Her little brother throws a Pro Katana that works similarly well, and though I’d normally advise against a 12-speed driver, he does pretty well with it.
What disc advice would you give to a beginner?
It’s tempting to want to buy drivers, especially faster ones. However, if you really want to get better, discipline yourself to just buy a couple of putters (one to putt with, and one to drive with). Go out to a 9-hole course where the holes aren’t too long (350′ is probably as long as you want to go) and just play entire rounds with those putters for a while. Make sure you always use the same one putter to putt with, and the same one putter to drive and approach with (which is why I said to get two). This may sound contrary to what one would logically do, but if you can learn to huck a putter out to 300′ with accuracy and consistency, you’ll be ready for mosts discs thrown your way.
When you’re comfortable with that, move up to a couple of midranges; popular ones are the Innova Shark, Innova Roc, Discraft Buzzz, and the Discraft Comet. You want midranges that respond very honestly to release angles, which will be excellent for you as you work on your form a little bit more as they won’t be as forgiving, but will be very rewarding when you throw well. They’ll teach you to level your throws out and control that arm of yours. Like I said with the putters, play entire rounds with just these. When you learn to control midranges and putters out to distance, you’re in great shape.
Work yourself up and give yourself room to grow into those fairway and distance drivers. When you’re working on your form, disc down and slow down.
Also, you’ll hear a lot of people tell you to do an x-step. Don’t. Learn how to drive well from a standing position and focus on the important parts of the basic backhand drive–the weight shift, the reach back, the point of release, and the follow-through. Contrary to popular belief, you can bomb out to 325′-350′ that way. I’m speaking from personal experience.
The x-step (or any run-up, for that matter) adds unnecessary variables to your form that, if you don’t know how to control the really important parts, will only mess you up in the long run and give you things you have to correct in the future. Keep it simple.
tl;dr – Slow down and keep it simple.
1.What prior disc-throwing experiences did you have before you played disc golf?
I had absolutely none..I threw the discus in high school but that is so different it really didn’t matter. I sucked horrifically at playing Frisbee with my kid, the darn thing would never go where I wanted it.
2.What drivers do you recommend for new disc golfers?
Newer players in my opinion would be well suited for understable drivers like the Vulcan for Backhanded (traditional Frisbee) throws and something overstable like a boss for sidearm throws.
3.What discs worked well for you when you were new to the game? Why?
I threw my champion boss more than anything because it was the fastest disc available at the local Academy store. I had no idea what I was doing, I just knew the sidearm throws went a lot further for me because my BH throws would fade after 30-40 feet of distance. After I watched some locals throw, viewed some stuff on youtube, I grew to love my Nuke and my Katana. I could grip it and rip it with RHBH throws with my understable katana and then have a pretty S curve of the sidearm throws with my nuke. My putter of choice was the SSS Wizard or VooDoo.
4.What new discs have you seen work well for beginners that you wish you would have had?
I’ve been really impressed with the Prodigy putters. Also the titanium plastic from discraft is great for beginners as it doesn’t matter how hard or how many times you hit a tree, that plastic is durable. I cant count how many times I messed up a pro-D plastic disc from trees, roads, bushes, signs. Also, the Zombee is a great disc, I use it more as a fairway driver, a faster buzz.
5.What disc advice would you give to a beginner?
If possible, don’t throw anything for drives or midrange shots than a buzz until you can control its flight path/distance. Its such a stable disc, people often overlook the smaller mechanics of your throw that a buzz can magnify if thrown wrong.
1) Throwing around the Frisbee with friends and family.
2) Low speed drivers like Discraft Cyclone – my first drive , Innova Eagle – very easy to throw, or a Innova Leopard all are very good discs for new players to learn to control drives with.
3) I used Discraft XS and Cyclone as my first drivers. I thought throwing a stable disc worked best then once I had that down I worked to Understable and Overstables.
4)I wish the Blizzard weights would have been around when I first started. I see a lot of new players using these and it seems to help them throw farther quicker and control thei arm speeds.
5) Practice Practice Practice!! Do get mad if you start off driving 50 feet trust me in no time you’ll be throwing 350+ just keep practicing and it’ll come around.
Any prior disc-throwing experiences i had were maybe a little bit of ultimate Frisbee, and my friends 13th birthday party where we played disc golf with cheap 50 cent dog frisbees.
For new players I would suggest a Leopard as their first driver because of how user friendly it is.
A disc that worked well for me when I was a beginner was a Factory Second, lime green, Star Orc. I was still in that stage where I was unsure of whether I would be better at forehand or backhand, and with that Orc I could do both. Also, the Birdie was great for me as my first putter because of how it felt almost like a normal frisbee.
The Leopard has worked well for almost any new player I have ever played with. I had a friend throwing a max weight champion Ape (obviously with no success at all) and struggled to get any better than 30 over. When I handed him the leopard, he dropped his score drastically in just a few games.
Some disc advice for beginners would be to not get discouraged. all these problems you are having have happened to someone else, and they overcame it. If you’re trying to fix a part of your throw that you don’t like, do something different. Don’t just keep throwing in hopes that it will magically get better on its own, because it won’t.
When I first started playing DG, I really had no understanding of it besides throw a disc as many times as it takes to get it into the basket. I did not know anyone who played, or anyone with any DG knowledge. Like most new players, I believed that you threw off the tee pad with a driver, then threw a midrange, and then when you were pretty close to the basket, a putter. I also had the belief that the higher the speed driver, the further it would go. I got frustrated pretty quickly, but really liked playing.
I started doing some research online about discs and their flight, the mechanics of the throw, and any information that I could get. I found out that I couldn’t have been more wrong in my initial DG “logic”. I watched many videos, read every article I could find, and gained a really strong knowledge about everything I was doing wrong. So I decided to basically start from scratch and try to learn everything the proper way.
One of the most helpful things that I either watched or read came from Catrina Allen Ulibarri. She said the way that she improved her game so quickly was to put away all of her drivers, and work through her discs from the bottom up. Throw with putters only to start. Once you are throwing them to their correct flight, then move up to midranges. And the same process over, once you are getting the correct flight from the mids, then move up to some fairway drivers.
After a few months of using this method, my mids and putters are getting a really great flight. I am throwing further and more accurate in a very short period of time. I am at the stage now where I am going to start working on some fairway drivers while doing some field practice.
I also highly recommend not only throwing rounds, but also practicing off the course. When you are off the course you can concentrate better on your throw mechanics and also pay attention to the flight of your disc. If your disc is not flying as intended, especially if it is diving hard to the left and hitting into the ground on the rim, that could be an indication that the disc is too fast for your arm speed.
However, I don’t really think the discs (brand) used really matter as much as using the “bottom up” method. Developing good techniques and building up strength are more important, and then you will be able to successfully throw almost any disc, and it is more just a matter of personal preference. Male players most likely will work up to drivers more quickly as they are stronger and will naturally have more arm speed and strength. Females will take a bit longer to work up strength for distance, but it will come with practice.
Some of the discs I have used that I like the most are: MVP Anode, Ion, Vector, Weside Warship and Tursas, Any Prodigy disc, Innova Leopard.
My best recommendation for a beginner would obviously be to play with a disc your comfortable with; however, if you would like a specific disc, I’d recommend a Gateway “Wizard” in any plastic as your go-to-putter! There are gonna be so many choices for drivers and mids, but a good putter will save you strokes! I wish someone would have handed me my Wizard much earlier than when I finally discovered it on my own!
1) I am barely out of the gate when it comes to disc golf. My girlfriend introduced it to me about a month ago and I haven’t looked back. I played the casual Frisbee from time to time but that’s it.
2) Personally a beginner needs a lighter disc to start. After they are comfortable with the form and technique them they should move up. I would say any Innova Blizzard series disc at a light weight would be a great first choice.
3) Personally I have tried a couple of discs that I have borrowed but haven’t really stuck with one yet. I bought a discraft crush as my first disc but had a very tough time with it because I bought it too heavy (175g) and wasn’t comfortable with it. Then I bought a Blizzard Boss at 160 and felt much better about it but still feel I could use a lighter one.
4) The only beginner I have had experience with is myself. And I really liked the way the Blizzard disc carry.
5) My advice is not to try and throw your arm off. It will only cut strait into the ground or way left or right. Strait by playing courses with very short holes and keep at them until your accuracy is where you want it to be. Then move to the tougher courses. Basically don’t get greedy.
What prior disc-throwing experiences did you have before you played disc golf? I played a lot of frisbee catch when I was younger, but not much past 14.
What drivers do you recommend for new disc golfers? Since the question is about drivers, I’ll ignore discs like stingrays or panthers. For Innova, a DX leopard paired with a DX eagle or teebird would be a great first driver combo. The leopard will teach great form, and the eagle/teebird will give a bit of wind fighting before it beats in. this gives the added bonus of seeing how the beating in process affects a disc. Other nice selection are; westside’s underworld, lat 64 river, a discraft cyclone, a lightning flyer or driver 1, and one of my personal favorites, the patriot rival combo from legacy. All of these discs fall under speed 6 or 7 and would service a new arm well.
What discs worked well for you when you were new to the game? Why? My two initial go to discs, were a max weight DX roc, and a pro d cyclone. The cyclone was the first disc that
I felt I was throwing “far” and the roc became my do everything. The Roc especially has held a permanent spot in my bag since then.
What new discs have you seen work well for beginners that you wish you would have had? I would have loved to have a Westside underworld. It is understable, and would have been great for my noodle arm. I’ve seen several first timers get off some nice drives with this glidey disc.
What disc advice would you give to a beginner? First of all, find an experienced disc golfer and ask for advice. Second, read online and through the many forums. Most are loaded with beginner advice. Third, stay away from the wide rim drivers. Once you are able to toss your teebird a good ways, then the faster discs might benefit. Until then, they will just each bad form, or fly in a frustrating fashion. And most importantly…go out and have fun!!!
1) I’ve only thrown a frisbee around as anyone probably has before I started playing disc golf.
2) I would recommend the Innova Leopard and Nuke SS.
3) When I first started playing, the Nuke SS was my favorite disc to use and the best disc I could throw. I got really good distance with it and was able to keep up with my friends who had way more disc golf experience than I did.
4) I haven’t seen beginners throw many new discs but my buddy bought an Innova Vulcan that works really well for him. He throws sidearm and is often forgiven for bad throws with amazing rollers with the disc.
5) Tip for beginners is just to practice. I’d also encourage them to play against people better than them because they’ll learn a whole lot, whether about throwing techniques or best discs for any situation.
I highly recommend beginners throwing putter and understable mids to throw as they bring out your true form and release angle
1. I played every now and then in high school and my freshman year of college. Now, years later, I play about once a week.
2. The two drivers I recommend include: Innova Orc, and the Latitude 64 Diamond.
3.I started with the Orc. It flies pretty straight for me. (I throw left-handed.)
4. I wish I would have started with the Diamond. It flies similar to the Orc, but I like the feel of it better.
5. Just relax and have fun. Disc is a game. Don’t stress if you don’t do so hot in the beginning. Practice and you will improve.
1. I played on my college ultimate frisbee team for 4 years
2. I recommend fairway drivers. They will go just as far as higher speed discs but are much easier to control. My set up is Discraft Glide (understable), MVP Volt (straight) and Discraft Predator (overstable)
3. My first discs were an Innova Aero in star plastic and a 12x KC Pro Roc. I still have the Aero and use it to work on form. The Roc is in a lake.
4. I wish I had discovered understable discs sooner.
5. Having fun is most important. Play with people who are better than you. Spend time in an open field to work on form and also just to discover what your discs do.
I started playing Ultimate a little before I was taught to play disc golf by my soon to be wife. I have now been playing for 4 years. The driver I learned with was a sidewinder. It is understable and perfect for beginners. I learned how to get more distance with a great s curve. The midrange I started with was a coyote and it has minimal turn and little fade. It is perfect for beginners who have trouble accounting for turn and fade they can just throw straight at the basket. I also have seen people use a valkarie when starting disc golf which works pretty well. Moral of the story you need something that is understable or has negative high speed turn of 2 or 3 and low speed fade or 2 or 3.
The advice I would give to a beginner would be to play with people who are experienced and can give you tips. You progress in your game much faster. I would also say find one or two discs that work for you and throw them as much as possible. When you know how the disc flies and get consistent in how you throw backhand and forehand start looking for other discs. I also wouldn’t worry about getting the fastest disc on the market when your a beginner because really it will take a lot of time and practice before you will be able to handle them. Just a couple of thoughts
First, to define a beginner. Obviously, a beginner is someone who is first starting. Someone who has only been out a time or two though can use any disc: they are going to have to learn it new anyway. So let us call beginners, for this question, those people who have played some, understand the game, and are at that point we all reach where they have thrown midranges or ultra-light discs some and want to get a disc that goes farther.
What prior disc-throwing experiences did you have before you played disc golf?
I played baseball my entire life, so I understood overhand and sidearm throws fairly well. I had also played quite a lot of ultimate before I ever played disc golf, and through ultimate, I developed my skills at sidearm and overhand with a Frisbee. In all my time playing ultimate, however, I never figured out how to throw a normal backhand. I had also played disc golf a few times, where friends had taken me out and let me use a disc, although I still don’t know what discs I actually used with them. To this point, however, anything outside of 10 feet from the basket I threw forehand or overhand, as 10 feet was the farthest I could accurately throw a backhand.
What drivers do you recommend for new disc golfers?
First, I have to say that anyone who played baseball until or through high school and had even a decent arm should get an Aerobie Epic. I know this will not be a popular choice for most, but when you are fairly new, you want to improve quickly, and when you don’t, you can get frustrated. Especially if you are struggling to learn a new throw, or a new disc, or a new course. Being able to pull out an Epic, reach back just like you used to when you played ball, and just unload on the thing is comforting and a good way to relieve stress. Then, watching the epic do mid-air flips and barrel rolls and all the other funny things it does while it’s up there can help lighten your mood. Overhand will also tend to be such a player’s most accurate throw, so that will be beneficial. Next, people with a big arm or forehand players will want something stable. I would recommend a DX wraith, Destroyer, or Boss. The reason for this is first that it is cheap, and new players are somewhat likely to lose a disc. This can be frustrating and, if they were expensive, might cause them to quit. We don’t want that. This plastic will also beat in fairly easily, and start giving nice S curves more quickly than others. For those with medium to weak arms, they must independently judge their skills. Something lower speed and understable is a must. I would recommend a DX archangel, a medusa from skyquest although it’s more expensive or something lower speed and maybe lighter, maybe a teebird, leopard or cheetah.
What discs worked well for you when you were new to the game? Why?
My first driver was a Gateway Apache, and I loved it. I could throw it backhand a good distance for me, and it was overstable enough to handle my forehand. It wasn’t until I found the Archangel though that I really learned how to add distance with an S curve. It added a god 100 feet to my drive. I had a 150 leopard, but it was too light for my arm, I always turned it over, so I would always let my companion use it.
What new discs have you seen work well for beginners that you wish you would have had?
I wish I had a heavy leopard. The light one didn’t work for me, and that really turned me off on the disc, but I feel it would have been beneficial to my game if I had had a heavy one.
What disc advice would you give to a beginner?
It depends on the person. The first thing I would say is to make sure you are having fun. Next, I would have to recommend to them that improved putting is the fastest way to get better. After that, I suppose I would suggest that they learn a variety of shots, such as a spike hyzer, anny, S shot, or something straight depending on how the person was playing. I would then recommend discs that work well for each of those: perhaps a firebird for the spike hyzer, a comet, buzz or scout for an anny, a beast for an S curve perhaps. There are a lot of options, and it can be overwhelming looking at a wall of discs. I suppose the best advice one could give a newer player would be to give them an accurate guide for Innova’s numbering system, explaining speed, turn, and fade, and then suggesting they check first Innova’s website for what they are looking for, then infinite disc’s website to compare and see reviews. While the manufacturer will tell you what the disc is supposed to do, reviews and a second opinion are the best way to see if it actually does it. Then, once they have selected the disc they think they want, I would tell them to check Allthingsdiscgolf.com to see if the disc they selected is reviewed there. They do good work over there, and make sure that they agree with the previous sources, although they don’t have as many reviews available. These steps will be the best possible way to ensure they are getting the disc they are looking for.
1. I played Ultimate for years until I decided it was a young person’s game and one of my ultimate friends introduced me to disc golf.
2. I started out with a DX shark. It was cheap and easy to throw. As I learned the proper techniques, I was able to throw more stable drivers. A midrange like this is the way to go to learn the game without getting frustrated.
3. In addition to the shark I got a Leopard and a Teebird. I threw two aces the same day with the Leopard 2 months after I started, but quickly out grew it. The Teebird is still my favorite disc. It flies straight in all weather.
1.) I used to play casual games of ultimate. That’s honestly about the extent of any disc-throwing experiences.
2.) Honestly, the best driver for a beginner is not a driver at all! I know that’s not the advice that people like to hear, but it’s true! The best thing a beginner can do (besides find a few friends that play regularly), is to start with a putter and a midrange. They should find a Neutral to Stable putter that ‘feels’ good and comfortable to them; something like a Wizard, Aviar P&A, Ion, Judge or Pure. They should stay away from very over or understable midranges. Picking something overstable will just frustrate them, and picking something understable with let them get by with bad habits. They should pick something neutral, or straight with a slight fade. Anything from the straight to slight fade category would be perfect for beginning disc golfers! Anything like a Warship, Comet, Buzzz, or Core would be a great disc to learn with! Neutral to slightly stable discs will not hide form flaws, and will show people exactly the mistakes they are making. Most people won’t get any extra distance from drivers when starting than they would from Mids and Putters. Once they start to throw their midranges out past 250 – 300 feet, they’ll be primed and ready to delve into the world of drivers!
TLDR: Get a Pure, get a Warship. Learn to throw those first!
3.) Wizards! I spent a whole month learning to drive, approach and putt with nothing but Wizards (by Gateway), and my game improved significantly! Other discs that really helped me improve are Comets and Teebirds. Comets forced me to throw cleanly, but always rewarded me with a nice predictable flight. Teebirds taught me how to play with a fade, and were always really reliable and easy to come by (DX Teebirds are cheap and wouldn’t hurt your feelings if they landed in a lake.)
4.) Any combination of: a Neutral to Stable Putter (Aviars, Wizards, Ions), a Neutral midrange (Buzzz, Comet, Warship, Axis, Core), a fairway with a bit of a fade (Gazelle, Teebird), and a fairway with a bit of a turn (Leopard, River). That combo would give a newer player all the discs they’d need for months to come!
5.) Stay away from warp speed drivers! That’s what they sell and market in the brick and mortar stores and it will kneecap your game before you even start. Disc golf is a sport that will give you many years of enjoyment, don’t get so focus and obsessed with improving that you forget to take time and enjoy the game. Meet up with other people that love the game, it’s a great way to get advice and improve. Most cities have a Disc Golf Club or Association. Get involved, play in minis, and never turn down an invitation to play around with someone new!
1) Grew up on the disc golf course, so started with discs.
2) Start with a cobra or a roadrunner; something under stable and easy to throw until they get the confidence to throw more over stable and faster discs
3) I started when there were only a few discs on the market: cobra, then shark when it came out. So nothing was really “good” for me, I just worked with what was available.
4) I’ve introduced a lot of friends to disc golf and the roadrunner is definitely the easiest disc to start off with out of my bag because it tails off so little. Wen I look back, I really wouldn’t have changed anything because as a kid, I was just happy to play.
5) practice, practice, practice and don’t get frustrated. Touch comes with time. Just remember to keep the disc highway you pull it back, and release flat. Everything else is experience
I like the MVP Amp for a beginner driver. That’s the one I’d give to a new player who just has to have a driver. Honestly, a solid midrange would be ideal. Something like the Tangent because it throws like a dream.
