HIAARO Disc Golf Starter Discs Set - U.S. Landmark Series, 150 Class 145-150g, PDGA Approved, 2 Drivers, 2 Mid-Range, 2 Putters and Mini Marker
HIAARO's U.S. Landmark Series set, 150 Class 145-150g, with 2 drivers, 2 mid-range, 2 putters and a mini marker.
Lighter discs need less power to reach their intended flight, which is why they suit new players, juniors, older throwers and anyone managing a shoulder or elbow problem. The tradeoff is wind. A 150 gram driver that flies beautifully on a calm evening will turn over and skip out of bounds in a headwind, so lightweight sets work best on sheltered or wooded courses. We compared gram ranges, glide ratings and how stable each mold runs when it is underweight, since light copies of understable discs flip almost immediately. Sets in the 150 gram class suit adults building arm speed. Sets under 150 grams suit juniors and players recovering from injury. If you already drive past 250 feet, standard weights will hold a line better.
