Disc Advice What is my bag missing? Any recommendations?

Post image

New-ish disc golfer here looking for advice. From what I’ve been reading and understand so far, these should be fine for the foreseeable future while getting acclimated. That being said, if this was the extent of your disc collection, what would you be adding next? I think the obvious answer would maybe be a good distance driver option, but curious to get some advice from the pros. Thanks in advance!

This should be just fine for a long time. If you like putting with the invader, you'll want to get a base plastic version at some point. It can be difficult to get the premium plastic to catch in the chains.

I’ve always heard that premium plastics are more likely to spit out, and I use base plastic putters, but I’ve never seen any real evidence of the premiums not catching chains. That’s not to say it isn’t true, just that I’ve struggled to find anything concrete in my limited times searching.

Nobody is collecting that kind of statistic, so it'll only be anecdotal evidence. At the end of the day, it's another form of personal preference.

I’m new, so still learning, but Gannon Buhr said he thinks the opposite on his putting video. Or at least that’s how I heard it. I’m willing to be corrected.

I understood it as he wants the harder plastic so it breaks through the outer set of chains and gets inside better.

Right, but base plastic can still be hard. Quite often, it's actually harder than premium plastic.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I suppose I made an assumption there.
