A driver is designed for long-distance shots, while a putter is designed for short-range shots like putting in the basket. Drivers have a more aerodynamic design and thinner edges to help them fly farther, while putters have a more rounded edge and a larger landing area to help them drop into the basket more easily.
The weight of the disc that you choose usually depends on your skill level and personal preference. Beginners may benefit from lighter discs (around 160-170 grams) because they require less power to throw and are easier to control. More advanced players may prefer heavier discs (around 170-180 grams) because they can fly farther and handle more wind.
You only need one disc to play disc golf, but most players carry a variety of discs in their bag to account for different shot types and weather conditions. A typical bag might include a driver, mid-range, and putter disc in a variety of weights and plastic types.
Premium plastic (like Z or ESP from Discraft) is more durable, has more grip, and is less affected by wind. It also tends to be more expensive. Baseline plastic (like Pro-D or X from Discraft) is more affordable, but is generally less durable and has a different feel to it.
Yes, you can play disc golf in the rain, but it may be more difficult because of the wet conditions. The discs will be more slippery and may not fly as well, and the course may be more difficult to maneuver. It's important to stay safe and not play in lightning. Many players use towels or mini-dryers to wipe off the discs between throws during wet conditions.
