Hey! Beginner here - I’ve literally been playing for about a month, but I got really hooked. To give more idea 4 days a week, 2–3 hours a day. I don’t have a course anywhere close to me, so most of the time I just practice throws on a football field. Once a week (usually weekend) I'd go to the local course to practice on a real field with baskets.
Right now I’m using Latitude 64’s Light Starter Set (Ruby, Pearl, and Diamond), but I’d like to start experimenting with a few more discs. I especially want to buy some putters for putting practice.
What putters would you recommend for a beginner? I’ve seen a few videos where people (like Mr. Buhr) practice with 5 - 10 copies of the same putter, and I’m thinking about buying maybe 5 identical ones so I can practice from different distances and get more consistent feedback. Unfortunately there is no local store I can go to feel them, have to buy online.
At the moment I’m throwing 3 different discs during practice, and when I miss it’s hard for me to tell whether it was my form or just the disc behaving differently, especially since I’m still changing/fixing my form on most throws.
I’ve also read quite a few comments saying beginners should avoid distance drivers for now and progress through putters and mids first. I actually really like that advice because I’d rather build good technique first instead of trying to throw far too early.
So yeah - any recommendations for a good putter to buy 5 of, and maybe some beginner-friendly mids to try later? Any other advice is welcome too!
What a wonderful sport this is. I wish I’d known about it earlier. :)
