| Bert's Disc Golf Tips |
|
First, learn how to throw with a stable disc (Avenger SS, Comet or APX) before trying an overstable one. Accuracy is more important than distance. Make sure to follow through after you let go of the disc, and don't try to throw every disc at 110 percent. It's the smooth movement in your rotation that makes the disc fly, and it's not all about power.

ESP and FLX Surge
(174 gm) |
My number one driver, great for all kind of shots. I use the FLX in colder weather or when it's raining (again).
|
ESP and FLX Predator
(174 gm) |
The perfect disc in windy conditions from wich we have a lot in the Netherlands. I prefer the FLX version when I throw a forehand. Also great for big hyzer shots.
|
ESP Avenger SS
(174 gm) |
Great turnover disc. Perfect for rollers. I also use it for shorter but very narrow shots.

Z and FLX Buzzz
(176+) |
The number one midrange for me. If I could only bring one disc, it would be the Buzzz. I use it for everything up to 90 yards. I love the FLX for its grip.
|
ESP Comet
(174 gm) |
Even at slow speed, it will stay in line for ever. Throw it a bit harder and it will give you a smooth turn. Great accuracy disc.
|
D Drone
(175 gm) |
Great for windy conditions, and for hyzer shots. This is one you can always rely one.

Comments |
Soft APX
(174 gm) |
The perfect approach disc. It will hold any line. Super straight!!!
|
FLX Challenger
(174 gm) |
This is for me the perfect putter. A bit overstable, and therefore great if you give it a bit more power. The FLX plastic makes it perfect to hold.(it feels so great its almost hard to let go). When there's a bit more wind it replaces my Soft APX.
