[Other] What Was Your First Disc(s)

This was the 1st golf specific dsic that I bought (circa 1980). Before this we used Wham-o catch discs.

DX Wraith, DX Cobra, DX Aviar. The Aviar and Wraith have been sidelined, yet a Cobra of some sort has been in my bag from Day 1.
 
I gravitated to Discraft early on, and used discs like this:

White SE Teebird with green stamp circa '99. Bought it since white and green reminded me of golf.
 
Somewhere I acquired an older evo Wizard that I carried around with me for a while before I really got into the sport. As I started to get into it a bit, I brought the wiz with me - figured I needed a driver, so I bought a dx valk. I played with those two discs for quite a while. I lost the valk at Ingleside red, in a tree. I lost the wiz in a gravel pit while practicing putting/upshots. One of those places where I was pretty damn sure there was no way to lose a disc, and poof, it vanished.

My first discs were a Valkyrie, an Eagle, and a Shark, all in DX. What's funny was, when my n00b friend that was introducing me to the sport took me to Dick's to pick these out, I accidentally bought the Shark thinking it was a putter b/c it was white and for some stupid reason I thought it was because golf balls are white, the putters would be too since they go in the basket. I later went back and got a DX Aviar. I taco'd all the discs pretty much instantly except for the Aviar which I hated and barely used. The End.

My buddy hands me a DX viper and tells me to throw it as hard as I can. I end up throwing it 50 feet in the air and 75 feet to my left and into the street.
 
Hmmmm....When I started, I had a bunch of Lightning discs. I think the first one was a #1 Driver. Can't remember for sure thought.
 
Yes I have only been playing for little more than a year, but I still wax nostalgic about those first discs...had the good fortune to pick out three solid discs before my first ever round, at the Dallas City Park course in Dallas, OR (my hometown):

Pro-D Stratus--given to a friend for his first disc
177 X Comet--lost last winter and replaced with an ESP
173-174 X Soft APX--still in the bag, thrown all the time, and my favorite for one disc rounds. Seriously underrated disc in my opinion, newbie that I am.
 
My eagle and tee-bird both were ultra long range drivers...So does that make a destroyer a super duper ultra maximum ranger driver?
 
DX shark, leopard, and boss.

One friend lost the leopard, bought me another. One friend lost the shark, bought me a buzzz. I used the boss until I got a DX teebird, then I just used the teebird.
 
A DX Shark, Have a short 9 hole course near me and spent a while just tossing that. Then bought a DX Aviar and a Dx Wraith and used those 3 for a year.
 
When I first started going disc golfing & when I got my first discs I was only 3 years old. I got one of those Innova starter packs with a DX Aviar, DX Shark & DX Leopard. I also got a DX Cheetah along with the starter pack. I got the discs from my uncle who let me tag along with him when he went discing. I still have all four discs (though I havent thrown them for many years) & I still disc with my uncle to this day (I beat him now :D). I used to love my DX Cheetah;I used it for over 10 years before I retired it. I keep my first discs in a special section of my disc collection along with my first few ace discs.
