| Dano's Disc Golf Tips |
|
Lots of players need to get a grip. A good one, that is. Eighty percent of recreational players will have their thumb right on the edge of there disc. We call this a loose grip, and it often creates disc flutter and a loss of distance. Try a grip with your thumb at least an inch off the edge. I think you'll like the results.

ESP Surge
(174 gm) |
The Surge is new and wow is it a great disc to throw long. Within a two month trial period I aced a hole just over 400 feet. Out of 20 years of playing pro, I previously had only one other ace at that kind of distance... and it was down hill! Try a Surge and thank me later.
|
Z XL
(172 gm) |
The XL comes out when I need a disc to throw straight through a tight fairway. Same deal in a wooded area.
|
X XL
(172 gm) |
I keep a beat up one for short rollers, say 300 feet and in.
|
Z Wildcat
(172 gm) |
This disc is also beat up, and I love it for long, open rollers of 400 feet and out.
|
DGA Tsunami
(172 gm) |
This overstable disc is great for skip shots or headwind drives. Some people like it forehands throws too.

D Magnet
(172 gm) |
My main putter. Great for windy days. |
D Rattler
(172 gm) |
The Rattler is old school, and I love it. Floats like no other so I can run at long putts and not go too far by if I miss. |
D Challenger
(172 gm) |
I carry a Supercolor version, and love throwing it 300 feet and under on upshots or drives, as long as there is a high ceiling. The Challenger is a very slow flyer so I have to throw it with lots of height if I'm going for distance. Plus it is a great windy day putter. |
