A guide to choosing your first set and getting started in Spain
A starter set brings together discs with different roles so you can get started without choosing each one separately. Typically, you will find a putter for short shots, a midrange for medium distances, and a driver for exploring longer throws.
A good starting point is not the fastest disc, but a set you can throw comfortably. Here, we explain what each disc type offers and the differences between our HERO, Innova Standard, and Innova Glow sets.
Used for putts and short approaches. Its profile lets you practice smooth, controlled throws. You can also use it to learn technique over short distances: you do not need to switch discs for every throw.
A versatile disc for approaches and medium-distance shots. Useful for practicing direction, release angle, and consistency. Together with a putter, it lets you work on much of the basic technique without chasing maximum distance.
Its narrower edge and profile are designed for longer throws. That does not mean it will automatically fly farther: it needs an appropriate release. When starting out, alternate between the driver, putter, and midrange to see which disc you control best.
You do not need a bag full of discs to get started. Three discs let you learn when to use each one and recognize what changes from one throw to the next.
If you prefer to start with lightweight discs, HERO includes three discs weighing 155 g each. Do not choose by weight alone: grip comfort and your throwing style also matter. Innova Standard weights vary, and a specific weight per disc cannot be promised.
HERO is the most affordable of these three sets. Innova Standard brings together three specific models in DX plastic: Aviar, Shark, and Leopard. If you are interested in glow effects, Innova Glow offers discs that glow in the dark after being charged with light.
Start with comfortable, repeatable throws. Use the putter and midrange to learn how to control the disc's direction; introduce the driver without forcing distance. Flight numbers describe a disc's behavior, but they do not promise a specific distance.
Choose based on budget, weight, and the set's features, not age or gender. Also check whether colors and stamps are fixed or variable. The Innova Standard combination you receive may differ from the photo.
Here are the main differences. Titles, prices, and purchase links are pulled directly from the store's catalog.
