Beginner forehand disc

[josiahv]

I have a friend who just started playing disc golf. She throws primarily RHBH but likes to throw forehand shots here and there. Her big issue is she has massive amounts of OAT so most discs crash left instead of going straight and then right on her throws.

She's a very casual player, so I'm not really looking for the "get her to use a super understable disc so she can learn to throw without OAT" replies.

I'm just looking for a disc that she can forehand easily.

I forehand a drone...but that's a small part OAT, larger part stupid amount of spin the way I flick...could try the Ace Race 2010? Or one of the Lat 64 discs with the slanted rim. I get a cleaner release on those when forehanding

when i started forehand I love the teerex.

She's also a former SEC volleyball player... in other words, she's more athletic than most disc golfers, male or female, I wouldn't worry about the girl factor too much...

150 champ eagle, 150 champ firebird

150 champ eagle, 150 champ firebird

This is the combination.

I throw almost all RHBH, but for some shots I throw forehand -- my favorite forehand disc of all time is the Champ Valk. I throw a 150g class Valk for both forehand and backhand -- they are the best all-around drivers ever, IMO. Also, since I normally don't throw forehand, having a lighter weight one let's me get a good flick on the disc for good distance.

150 gazelle.

Eagle-X, Banshee, or Firebird. Premium plastic is good, but you could get a couple DXs as trials (for both molds and weights)

Banshee

I'd say Banshee and try to match her weight lbs to disc weight grams. So if she weighs 170lbs get a 170g Banshee. I wouldn't ask her weight though.

A light Valkyrie or a ESP Crush would be pretty perfect here too. In mid maybe a Drone or Zone.
