Craig P replied to Thomas's discussion Beginner - Need Equip Advice."I'd say the discs he offered you are great starter discs and would be great to get some for yourself. The leopard is a great first driver. The shark is a really good midrange for a begginer as well- and you cant go wrong with an…"

Went out with a friend last week and played for the first time. Needless to say, I'M HOOKED. I'd like to get some advice on what discs I should probably go purchase in order to get started.
