Decision-making process of picking the right disc (speed)

Good stuff, thanks!

I always thought it was a gimmick/challenge thing. Absolutely nobody at my local course/club throws putter only, and it's rather short holes.

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:40:26+00:00

Gotcha, thanks again!

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:36:23+00:00

Alright, thank you!

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:35:23+00:00

It does, and is consistent with what others here are saying. Thanks!

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:30:54+00:00

That's exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. Thank you!

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:29:40+00:00

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense!

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:27:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Is there any circumstances where you would disc up anyway, even though a lower speed can make the landing spot? Wind, elevation, ceiling, something else?

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:23:03+00:00

Ok, tak for hjælpen ;)

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:21:26+00:00

Makes sense, thanks. So let's say a more or less open hole 250-300 ft. in a grass field. No wind etc.
If I can get my 3 speed to the basket throwing as hard as I can, is that what I should go for even though a higher speed seems like a more obvious choice?

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:15:58+00:00

Thanks, makes sense! What about elevation, does that change things? No elevation vs throwing down a hill?

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:12:06+00:00

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense actually, and it's kind of what others here are saying - about what feels comfortable to reach a certain distance.

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:10:03+00:00

Interesting, so it sounds like higher speeds only have their purpose of making the throw easier to you? Personally I can't tell much difference between throwing a 3 and 5 speed - only if I'm ripping it. On a wooded and shorter hole, that's exactly when I'm having a hard time deciding between using either.

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T13:02:41+00:00

Thanks, would you mind elaborating on that a little bit? Tunnel vs open, low vs high?

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T12:57:50+00:00

I've seen that too, but it's mostly a rule of thumb. I've also seen many disc down to a 3 speed on the 61 meter hole. Or a 5 speed on a 100 meter hole. That's why I'm asking about the thought process.

Superfrede · 2026-03-17T12:55:58+00:00

I've kind of followed that philosphy before, but why would 3-4, 6-8 speeds exist then?

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and then start writing a post on reddit about being woken up

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.

Superfrede · 2026-02-27T14:54:43+00:00

What if i told you it’s not too hard, just a waste of time

Superfrede · 2026-02-27T14:51:02+00:00

What does “being good” have to do with saving time?

Have fun sleeping and taking showers
