This helps to keep the disc spinning longer and keeping its flight path. Rim Width: Distance drivers have wide rims allowing for more weight on the outside of the disc.Rim Shape: The rim of distance drivers is sharp allowing them to cut through the air and maintaining their disc speed, allowing for max distance.Distance drivers can be a great choice for throwing into a strong headwind because that headwind increases the airspeed around the disc helping to bring it up to speed. Most distance drivers range from speed 10 and up. Speed: Distance drivers require a good amount of speed on the disc to react in their intended manner.Distance drivers usually will give the player the most option of flight paths because of the various speeds, turn, and fade in the many discs available. Flight Path: Drivers have many flight paths they can achieve depending on what angle the discs are released.Drivers come in various weights, plastic types, and disc stability giving the thrower a range of shot options and confidence in various conditions. Drivers can be thrown on average from 300-400 feet and even more in the right conditions and from an advanced player. Use: Distance drivers are used for gaining maximum distance from the tee pad or the fairway.Putters: Used to putt into the basket and for approaching as well.Mid-range: Used for approaching the basket where more control over speed, height, precision is needed.Fairway Drivers: Used for driving and fairway throws where more control and less distance is needed.Distance Drivers: Used for gaining maximum distance off the tee pad. ![]() Most common uses of the different disc golf discs: ![]() Having a bag full of diversity starts with understanding just why we have these four different disc shapes and types. Not only that, but the conditions on the course such as the wind, trees, and ground type all play a part in selecting the right disc for each throw you’re making. This all has to do with the disc type that you’re throwing and the disc shape. Some discs go further, some drop out of the air quickly, some get a lot of lift. The way the disc is shaped, the depth of the rim, the top of the disc, and the plastic from which it is made all play major factors in how the disc reacts out of your hand. The four types of disc golf molds each carry unique flight characteristics that are needed to shape different shots for various course layouts and obstacles. There are four main disc types used in the sport of disc golf.
