Every year we field a number of questions about gifts for significant disc golf others, and we’ve seen may already. One of the differences over the past couple years is that there are many more new and unique items available for thoughtful and personal disc golf gifts. Here is our 2017 disc golf gift buying guide, all personally tested by the Disc Golf Puttheads and highly recommended. ***Our 2018 Disc Golf Holiday Gift Guide is available here!*** Holiday Edition Gift Discs Discs are never a bad idea and are easily found, but when giving a disc as a holiday present you usually want something special. This year the holiday edition…

Lightning Rubber Putter Review
Lightning Disc Golf is one of the few brands beside Vibram to offer a disc made of rubber. This is the Rubber Putter and we recently acquired one to test. Lightning often has a reputation of poor quality discs, but we decided to give them a fair shot and it turns out that Lightning’s Rubber Putter is actually a decent disc when used appropriately.

Just Throw Podcast Episode 10 Adjustment
Episode 10 of the Just Throw Podcast is released! However, the format is slightly different. We’ve had to make some adjustments and we’re going to try going to video shows. This should help keep our costs down and reach a wider audience, as well as increase the frequency of our Just Throw episodes! Please, let us know what you think we can improve on to keep you listening. We already plan to improve the sound quality, but would an audio only option for the new episodes be useful to you? We also plan to upload the old episodes to our site. Here are a few things we’d like suggestions on:…

Glow Disc Golf
Daylight has long since faded and the evenings are short prompting many of us to pull out our glow disc golf discs.  You may be wondering if glow disc golf discs are worth while and if glow disc golf plastic works and which is the best glow plastic. We had those same questions and recently tested out a few glow discs, glow plastics, and even a few lights for charging the glow plastic. Here’s what we learned.

Disc Golf Devotion Believe
What should you throw? You step up on the cement and stare down the fairway. A long narrowing fairway with tall trees on either side and a cross-breeze that could carry your drive to the end or whip it deep into the woods. A high gliding anhyzer or a low and powerful hyzer? Are you going for distance or are you shooting for consistency? What should you throw? You may experience anxiety, a worried feeling of making the wrong choice or missing out on an opportunity. Then again, this is just disc golf so maybe you don’t think deeply into your throwing options. But maybe the scorecard is close, or…

DGA Tremor Review
DGA, the same company that brought you the rather overstable (and very underrated) midrange called the Quake, now brings you the understable and glidey midrange dubbed the Tremor. Â Primarily designed for beginners, the DGA Tremor has potential use as a turnover midrange for seasoned players. Â If we buy two does that put us at one degree of Kevin Bacon?

Disc Golf Devotion – Tough Times
We’ve all been there, an errant tee shot leads to a bogey. And then, while thinking about the bad shot moments ago we throw another errant tee shot and climb aboard the bogey train. Blame your disc, or your form, or anything else, but at the end of the day it was your mind that let you down. One minor error can lead to an avalanche of mistakes and ruin your entire round. Have you ever encountered this situation outside of disc golf? Perhaps, while taking a test at school, you encounter a problem that you can’t solve. Your attitude changes and you only focus on your inability to deal…

Disc Golf Devotion – Perfect Flight
If you ask another disc golfer what they love about disc golf, there’s a good chance that the flight of a disc will be in the top few answers. A sense of calm satisfaction, almost a state of inner peace, can be felt when you put everything you have behind a disc and watch it sail off on the smooth, pure path on which you intended it. You do everything you can to send the disc on its path, then you let go and watch your work in action. We spend most of our round chasing that perfect flight. The more seasoned we are, the more practiced we are, the…
