What are the different types of discs in disc golf?

There are four main types of discs in disc golf: drivers, fairway drivers, mid-range discs, and putters. At Metzger’s Outdoors, we carry all types to ensure you’re well-equipped for any shot.

How do different disc golf discs differ in performance?

Disc golf discs are designed for different purposes: drivers, fairway drivers, mid-range discs, and putters. Drivers are used for long-distance throws, fairway drivers are faster and more aerodynamic than a midrange but can be controlled more easily than a distance driver, mid-range discs offer control and versatility, and putters are best for close-range accuracy. At Metzger’s Outdoors, we can help you select the right disc for your needs based on your throwing style and skill level.

How does the shape of a disc golf disc affect its flight?

The shape of a disc influences its speed, glide, turn, and fade. A disc with a wider rim is typically faster, while a more rounded edge provides more control. Understanding the flight characteristics is key to choosing the right disc. Metzger’s Outdoors carries a wide range of discs, and our team can help explain how shape impacts performance.

What are the best disc golf discs for beginners?

Beginners usually perform better with discs that are stable or slightly understable, offering more control and easier handling. Mid-range discs and putters are typically good starting points. At Metzger’s Outdoors, we can recommend discs that suit new players and help improve their accuracy.

How do weight differences in disc golf discs impact throwing?

Heavier discs tend to be more stable in windy conditions and provide better control, while lighter discs are easier to throw for longer distances, especially for beginners. We offer discs in a variety of weights to suit all skill levels and playing conditions.

What does 'stability' mean in disc golf?

Stability refers to how a disc flies relative to the amount of turn or fade it exhibits. Overstable discs tend to fade left (for right-hand backhand throws), while understable discs tend to turn right. The degree of stability will affect how a disc behaves in the wind and how it curves during flight. We can help you understand stability ratings and find the right disc for your throwing style.

What is the difference between a fairway driver and a distance driver?

A fairway driver offers more control and is easier to handle, while a distance driver is designed for maximum speed and range. Fairway drivers are typically used for accurate, medium-distance throws, and distance drivers are for power throws. We stock both types and can help you choose which is best for your game.

How do different plastics affect disc performance?

The type of plastic a disc is made from can influence grip, durability, and flight characteristics. Some plastics provide more grip but wear out faster, while others are more durable but may not offer the same level of control. At Metzger’s Outdoors, we carry discs made from a variety of materials and can explain how each type affects performance.

What are 'turn' and 'fade' in disc golf?

Turn refers to the disc’s tendency to curve to the right during the early part of its flight (for right-hand backhand throws), while fade is the disc’s tendency to hook left at the end of the flight. Understanding these flight characteristics helps in selecting discs that match your throwing style. Visit Metzger’s Outdoors for advice on choosing discs with the right turn and fade ratings for your game.

How do I choose the right disc for windy conditions?

In windy conditions, it’s best to use more overstable discs, which resist turning and maintain their flight path better. Heavier discs also tend to perform well in the wind. Metzger’s Outdoors offers a range of discs suited for different weather conditions and can guide you to the best options for windy days.
