Innova Beginner Set Challenge Round | Disc Golf Course VLogs
Спорт
Think back to the time when you first started playing Disc Golf. For some we were given a disc by a friend, others started with an ultimate frisbee, but the overwhelming majority were likely introduced with a starter set. Often including a putter, mid, and driver in base plastic; these discs are the foundation to hundreds of thousands of disc golf careers.
I thought, at the end of the biggest year of disc golf in my life, why not go back to the basics? I went out to George Ward Park in Birmingham, Alabama, and played the front nine using only an Innova Discs starter set. Little did I know everything would be set up in the long positions for an upcoming tournament when I filmed…but see how it went. Also if you’re new to the sport and trying out the discs for the first time, I hope the commentary helps as we talk about the discs and how to know when you’re ready to move past the starter set!
For this week’s youtube spotlight, I wanted to feature a new friend, Sara Sinclair, and her husband, Shawn! Shawn is a former pro and Sara plays in FPO currently. They are incredible teachers, players, and people. Check out their content at / @sinclairdiscgolf

This threw me back to the starter pack pack challenge central cost did😂😂
I’ve only played 6 times in 11 years and I’ve just signed up for the PDGA.💪🏽 My first tournament is on June 24th in Circleville, Ohio. I love my Starter Pack especially my Shark 😂
Im a new player and this is my current set! I love my shark, and my leopard gives me trust issues 🤣

Welcome to the sport!!
Funny how the starter set makes a veteran look like a beginner...lol!! So on that, my daughter, not knowing disc golf bought me the starter set for Christmas. She saw a box with three discs and got it for me. I was happy to get it because it went to show she had my interests and loves at heart. I actually do putt with the Aviar that came in my first starter set and it was 175g. The Shark is actually a very nice disc as well but, I do not bag one. DX plastic, in my opinion, is only good for the putters.
That was great! Thanks very informative. Hope y'all have a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you!
I love my leopard as a beginner this spring the fastest disc I throw is a saint at 9 speed I switch to the leopard when I get tired around hole 15 I can get full flight out to about 200 ft speed 7 is where I live the teebird and river are my go to discs for mid range I like the roc over the shark but I throw both I have a AviarX3 and a few other putters (colt, arrow, warden ) I find myself grabbing the aviar more than anything the arrow is for approach for it is too bouncy to stay in the basket but it flies straight
Cool watching someone play my regular park
Great video! I have a set from Divergent Discs that I'm planning on filming a round with once the weather is better. That Leopard is comedy gold.

This is making me want to find my old beginner set from a while back a try to do a round with them. I have my leopard will do exactly what yours does. Thanks for the video, definitely made me laugh and want to get out and throw some DX plastic.

Do your self a favor and buy yourself a mid and a low speed driver in a premium plastic and weights over 170. The DX plastic in these sets is so flippy ubderstable they will just turn over if you put any power into them. As you see on this video.
my first disk was a shark...2 years later DX plastic came out, I have gen one dragon because my favorite course had water...good times good times
That was pretty cool to see since I also started with an Innova starter set. Interesting you didn't throw the DX Destroyer or Dragon. I love the Dragon, straight flier and best of all it floats so I actually still use the Dragon on one particular water whole some times.

Flippy when you don’t want it! 🤣🤣
I’ve got a slow arm and a new DX leopard will still flip over on me. Max weight DX shark is probably my most versatile disc in my bag still.

If you know how to throw a disc at all the leopard will always turn over on you, just buy a new set before you start throwing everything like a hunchback in order to get it to hizer flip for you.
That Leopard was insane. Frustrating for you, funny for me to watch.

I was actually surprised at how "stable" it was. My intro leopard just wants to turn into a roller at any speed (3mo old intro pack).

Jason Brown I have a dx leopard that i throw on an extreme hyzer and it will turn all the way over to my left (lefty). I use it for crazy dog legs and it works wonders lol.
As a new player can I just opt for champion innova discs? I dont like the idea of "beginner" anything.
What weights are the discs you're throwing? And which are the ones from 8 years ago, and which one is the new one?
What is it with the Leopard? Even I can get it to turn over (usually way too much) even though I’m terrible and even my Mambas hyzer.
I've found more starter pack Leopards out there than any other disc lol
Or try your forarm/sidearm for those shots that needs a different angle.
When I played for the first time 15 years ago I just bought a DX shark, didn't want to buy multiple discs and figured a midrange could do a bit of everything, only ever played 2 rounds with it back then. My favorite old disc is a dx wraith from when I first got back into disc golf 5 or 6 years ago -- I just spike hyzered that thing on every single hole(usually more than once since I could only throw like 150ft) for many rounds, now it is absolutely amazing to hyzer flip, it feels like it turns after 300ft and then never fades, I don't have another driver that flies the same but I had to retire it because I would be broken if I lost it. I'm working on trying to break in a premium plastic driver to fly like that but its taking me quite a while.

There is something special about a DX wraith! Wish mine had come with one. Haha the Leopard was a toughie!
Did you throw the Leopard with a fan grip?

@@RobbieCDiscgolf So I'm gonna blow your mind. Take that same leopard and fan grip it and you will be amazed.
I dont feel so bad with my first 3 rounds ever with my star Lepoard3, Vcobra, and DX Aviar...I average about +7 a round with them.
When throwing a really understable disc throw it like an approach
Is this Rick Shields disc golf edition?
Just slow your arm speed and more hyzer angle.
Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️
In all honesty good insight and all, but I would of liked to see more forehands being thrown. It was really painful to watch you force backhand turnovers with the leopard and shark. Although I did see a couple forehand attempts from the knee. I think you couple of tried a few from the pad and saved yourself some grief in bad spots.
