I built the goal my wife got me as a gift and spent the day in the backyard cussing my putting ability. Having my dogs running around as I threw made it all the more enjoyable, though!

I also spent a little money to buy six of the same Yikun putter. Love your inexpensive and reliable plastics, President Xi.

I love that Yikun Xing putter. I hit a shot from 50 yards out with it today.

I played it at the Cedars of Lebanon State Park disc golf course with my buddies today. The park is about 45 minutes east of Nashville. It was a lot of fun! There were some short technical throws, and a few really long forearm tosses. Really narrow tree corridors on several holes. The atmosphere was pretty, and there was a big sinkhole on 12.

I personally played like garbage, but I keep getting better at throwing this Innova Cheetah.

Took a buddy golfing down in Memphis today! He had never been and had an amazing time. I gave him the discs I loaned him, and he said he would pay it forward by buying discs and taking another mutual friend of ours. The Shelby Farms course is much more open than what I’m used to up in Nashville, which exposed my noodle arm lol. I need to film my throw and start really drilling down on my mistakes.

This is the first sport I’ve played where I actually want to practice and improve. Such fun.

Anybody have a recommendation for custom print jobs on a disc? My best friend of two decades (and the guy who got me into this hobby) is moving up north and I want to get him a disc with our picture on it as a forget-me-not.

Just got a Par Plastics mystery box. Awesome purchase. They shipped me a Berg, Falk, Buzzz ESP GT, CryZtal Zone, Ethereal Nebula Omen, and a Jackalope. The Discrafts were Ledgestone from this year too, and have super cool stamps. If you are wanting to get some random discs, I highly recommend Par Plastics. I gave them parameters (orange discs, nothing above a 9 speed, and a request for whoever was picking to put one of their favorite discs in as well) and am very pleased with what I got. I’m gonna hit the links after work today!

To the guy wanting starter set advice, do the Innova F2 thing Salt Fish said, and get a Leopard, a Mako3, and an Aviar in Star plastic.

Played my first ever event tonight: a MVP Space Ace Race. A glow hex and glow pilot were provided and the only discs allowed. It was SO much fun! My friend hit an ace and I brushed the chains twice. So close…next time.

Btw, if you’re wanting to get glow plastic, this MVP glow is no joke. It held very visible luminescence for drat near 20 minutes.

Fully charged, it was drat near too bright to throw in the dark of the woods. I wound up tracing shapes in it with the UV light. A star, a smiley face, a “A” for ace, a crescent moon, etc. lol

Interesting topic of discussion: which plastics do y’all prefer? I know a lot of manufacturers share plastic blends, but I’m not entirely sure what all the connections are.

I love Innova Star and TSA Aura. Grippy and durable.

I just started playing in March of 2022 with a group of friends/coworkers as a completely clueless newbie. What started out as a monthly goof off game, turned in to a full blown obsession by August. As a 45 year old dude that hasn't been terribly engaged in anything remotely athletic in 30 years, I'm having a blast.

This holiday season I went a little nuts buying disc golf stuff for myself. Discmania mystery box, a nice practice basket, an Upper Park Rebel bag, and probably another 20 or so random discs. Next up I'm going to have to figure out some disc storage with all the excess stuff I currently can't or don't throw.

If you have an IKEA near you, there’s a really great shelf that is the perfect size for discs that I use. I’ll see if I can find the name when I get home.

Where’s Simon going? MVP? Infinite? Franklin?

So I broke the radial bone of my right arm about a month ago and it looks like it's going to be a while until I'm able to throw discs using that hand again. I still want to throw though so I guess I'm going to give learning to throw lefty a go. Have any of you tried learning to throw with your off-hand?

I have not but best of luck! If you can get good at that you won’t have to ever throw forehand again.

If you love the envy and the hex, don’t sleep on Gateway’s Chief. Really incredible disc. Still overstable, but I find it less stable than the Envy and Hex for distance shots, especially if I put some power into it. Fell in love with it in sure grip soft, then bought it in diamond so it wouldn’t get so beat up. Probably my favorite disc in my bag.

Ooh. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll take a look.
