I rememeber when the Xtreme was released and some guy told me it was very overstable. I thought overstable must mean really straight so I bought one. I could throw a dinner plate farther.
Discraft X-clone...and I only used it for thumbers (that's the only shot I knew). Second disc came soon after and was a Cyclone 2. I lost that one (out a car window) and then I got a dx Banshee, which was a awesome thumber disc...for a few throws. Throwing all thumbers definitely helped sour my opinion of dx plastic.
DX Valk, Champ Coyote & DX Rhyno (Still have it, beat to shit) Those were my first Discs...I got them all at the same time so I consider them my first.
Champ Monarch and r-pro Aviar. Well my friend told me to buy a driver and a putter, and the Innova pages said the Monarch is good for beginners, and it's fast so it flies far, right? :lol:
Lost the Monarch to a muddy stream. Don't really miss it. Still putt with the Aviar. (Well, it's only been 4 months since I bought my first discs.)
In the last millenium when I first tried out the sport, I ended up buying these two. Then I used then for 2-3 rounds and took a 6 year rest from playing discgolf. Then one summer, my friend remembered that I had the discs and that he lived only 500 meters from a disc golf course. Needless to say, I've been hooked ever since.
My first disc was an orange Champion Classic Roc that I bought from a local sporting goods store for roughly $30. I lost it in a pond after just a few months but luckily got it back after almost two years of being missing. It's in rough condition but I'm not going to lose it for a second time anymore.
The first disc I used exclusively for DG was a white Whamo Masters - 150 grams; that's about all what we had in 1975. Though one of my buddies preferred the 141g Whamo.
Don't remember what the first disc I owned was. I know it was a champion driver that I found in the lake at Scottsdale. I think the first disc I bought was a green pro shark. That disc has now been quite a few friends first disc.
