I started playing disc golf forty years ago - when there were no baskets (only objects) and no specialized discs. I just got back into this recently, and here's my question:
Is there a requirement that you use the normal discs, made for disc golf, or is it okay if I bring my old ultimate/freestyle discs to the course and use those. I'm practicing on a variety of disc-golf discs, and I notice I can get more distance, but frankly, I am far more accurate with freestyle/ultimate discs.
Would I be shunned for using these? And, once I get competitive, would I be breaking any rules?
Finally: Anyone got some real good beginning choices on discs?
I am practicing on a number of mid-range and drivers and I know I will get better, but I would love to get some tips on discs. (I prefer an under stable disc thus far - negative numbers, but honestly, this whole rating system is new to me.) I have a baseline back hand throw, and a pretty good forehand, and have always played the backhand with a decent amount of curve, and can control curve on regular freestyle/ultimate discs very well.
Thanks all. It's really good to be back.
P.S. I am a newbie and you all seem really cool and dedicated, so thanks for hosting such a cool community. You rock.
