Which Disc are THE disc of the game?

I am a beginner and initially purchased a beginner's pack of disc which are a 165g driver, a 170g mid-range, and a putter. Then I met a gentleman who sold me some others like a Buzz for $8 as well as a straight driver, a curver, and a over mid-range driver for $4 each. Was this a good deal for a beginner?

The others are more difficult to judge from the information given but probably you will buy plenty of discs over the years. Some of them will be great. Others not so much.

As a beginner it is good to try out lots of different discs (and throws and courses and conditions). It sounds like you bought some used discs. This is smart. A used disc can fly as good as a new disc. I am a Pro and every disc in my bag is used (mostly used by me but what does it matter?). In fact it takes a while before any new disc proves itself and earns a spot in the bag.

Find the good players at your local course and watch what they do and boldly ask them for advice. Most good players are happy to help and may consider it a compliment.
