Disc Golfers can never have too many Discs

MORE DISCS!!

Disc Golfers can never have too many discs, so it would seem. I had returned from Florida with only 5 Discs, as mentioned previously, and during lockdown I had been looking on line at a variety that you could buy in the UK. My bag of discs in Florida (see Blog instalment - "This is turning into an addiction!!") had comprised of all Innova Discs, influenced by the starter pack I had bought. However, in reading more about discs I decided I would venture into other brands as well. Latitude 64 offered some discs aimed at players with slower arm speeds and beginners, in lighter weights, so I thought these might help me with my throwing. I was either getting stronger or something, as I was now starting to see the length of throw I'd seen in Florida. May be it was throwing 5 out of 7 days that was helping. So over several weeks and to cut this short, I accumulated the following additions;

Innova Rhyno - Gstar plastic

Innova Rat - Star plastic

Innova Roc X3 - Champion plastic

Latitude 64 River - Opto plastic

Innova Teebird - Metalflake

Latitude 64 Diamond - Goldline plastic

Latitude 64 Jade - Goldline plastic

Innova Sidewinder - Gstar plastic

Innova Starfire - Pro plastic

Innova Destroyer - Blizzard Champion plastic

Oh and I nearly forgot the mini marker that I bought (mini - used to mark the front of your disc on the ground so that you can pick up your thrown disc and then take your next shot from behind the mini);

ANOTHER BAG

My partner Catriona, also had a buying session and we both then had to get another bag each, courtesy of DiscGolfUK.

UDISC APP

I have mentioned UDisc in a number of my Blog instalments, and at this point opted to take out the Pro subscription as it offered more than just navigating around a course.

For those who haven't discovered the UDisc App yet, try it out. You can find courses to play and get directions to them. See course reviews, view course/hole maps and uploaded photos, track your scores (even via your smart watch), chart your improvement by measuring throws and much much more. It's a great App and the developers are constantly improving its use. You can even log which discs you have, especially "In Your Bag".

Now it's time to venture out with our bag of discs and try our first UK course, as lockdown has eased to allow you to travel as far as you like to get your exercise for the day. So Longford Park, Manchester Disc Golf Course, here we come......
