Group Buy - Discount Disc Golf Discs *Closed/Completed*

So a few of us have started playing disc golf recently, and I think some others have been playing for a while. I came across a local store / website (Gotta Go Gotta Throw) that sells Discs and Disc golf accessories. They offer a discount on bulk purchases of discs (25 or more) so I thought I'd see if enough people want to buy some discs so that we could get the discount price.

This is for Innova discs, they are available in four different plastics DX, RPro, Champion, and Star. The group-buy pricing is $5/$7/$9/$11 per disc respectively and that's for any model/weight within a particular type of plastic. It is available on the discs on their website found here:
http://gottagogottathrow.com/discgolf/innova-m-1.html

Here is a listing of different discs that Innova makes:
http://www.innovadiscs.com/discs/index.html

Update: I believe Discraft discs qualify for this as well, so if you see anything they make that you want it's fair game as well, pricing structure is the same for their different plastics (Though they have different names).

So, if you'd be down for picking some discs up let me know how many, at this point it doesn't matter exactly which ones, as you can mix and mach just has to be 25 discs total. Once we get to 25 we can nail down the specific discs for each person.

If you are just starting out this would be about the cheapest way to get a disc or four.

We are right around our 25 disc mark so lets start getting a list of specific discs people want (model/pastic/weight)

Okay here is what I have so far, if you see something that looks off please let me know. Keep in mind we have to pay tax on this also so add in a buck or two (depending on the size of your order) I'm planning to go after work Wednesday to get the discs (as long as my work schedule co-operates) and may make it to porkys to distribute. PM me your phone # if you want a call/text if I am going to make it otherwise Ill PM everyone.















I didn't include what I'm getting as it keeps changing lol

You can put me down for 3 or 4 discs... just need to do a little research and figure out which ones. Or if anyone has a specific suggestion for the best 3-4 discs to start out with, I'll just go with that.

Got ya down Jay,

For a driver to start with you could try a Cheetah or a Leopard, I have a Leopard but almost think the Cheetah looks a little better. I think all four of us this weekend had an Aviar for a Putter/Approach disc. Midrange im not so sure about, maybe a wolf or a coyote? Tauni might be able to offer some guidance there.

If you wanted a longer distance driver to learn with as a 4th disc mebbe something like a Valkyrie, or I have a Monarch that I'm kind of digging. From what I have read most of the long distance drivers require a stronger arm and aren't recommended so much for beginners. Def get a lighter weight one if you decide to try one.

Matt, are you going to try any of the Star discs? I'm tempted to pick up one or two of those in a light and heavy weight.

I haven't decided 100%, I may pickup a TeeBird-L (TL) which comes in star only, But I'll likely stick to another champion or two and one more DX for those shots I fear loosing a disc on hehe.

The material does make the grip feel a bit different and alter how the disc flys as it ages (champ/star hold up better) but I don't know that it's going to matter so much starting out.

Well I'm down for two (Added myself). Then I'll get a bag and be done and set with a range of discs.

Awesome, depending on how many Tauni, Corey, and Jay decide to buy we are very close to our number already!

On a side note, this link has quite a bit of information on what the ratings mean and what the different kind of plastics have to offer, Maybe Tauni can comment on how accurate it is but sections IV and V seem decent:

Cliffs: Champion / Star plastics are more durable but DX actually is a little easier to get to fly well when you are just starting out.

Well, you are only talking $10-15 on discs that are the size of a mini pizza, but I do understand if you want to go and borrow some discs beforehand.

I'm confused.
Jay check out my everything disc golf thread. Leopard was my fav of my starter discs. Birdie is a good putter.. that is what I'm looking to pick up.

Wow...talk about total selection overload on that site Matt!! Jess and I went camping with friends this past weekend in the Brainerd area and they had a nice little disc golf course. We'd definitely be up for 3 discs as part of this GB...maybe even 4, since a floating driver might be a good idea for me...lol

How many discs would you want Jen? I could probably just pick up 2-3 for you and you can pay me whenever you get the money.

At this point we are pretty much at 25+ discs provided everyone on the list currently buys their minimum or more. I'm going to call and find out if I can pick these up right at the store rather than ordering online.

At this point I'd like to get a list of specific discs (Model, plastic type, and weight) for each person so we can move towards finalizing this. More people are certainly welcome to get in on this as well till we make the purchase.
