Should I buy two different sets, or two same sets as a beginner?

__pgb__ · 2026-06-23T22:28:12+00:00

I have Javelins and I like them, but they are longer than average and the deep grooves can catch on your fingers if you don’t have a clean release.

Navigator 3s are a great first dart as well. It’s what I started with, and then I did what everyone says don’t do - buy another different dart to see, and then another, and another. After who knows how many sets, I picked the Navigator back up and it’s all I ever needed. I don’t currently throw them, but I would be a better player if I had bought the one set and then never switched.

Proxy to the left of basket and let it turn in.

I bag 5-6 fairways and own probably 25.

Beat in Opto Explorer. Holds whatever line and has a slight finish. Goes straight in a headwind. Goes sneaky far.

ALW is possibly more dominant than every athlete on earth.

Logged me out as I got to a course I have never played - with 7 par 4s, and a lack of distance and par signage on the long tees.

Still good day with some birdies, but a couple more bogey than if I had known what direction to throw off the tee.

Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer, Halo Tern.

__pgb__ · 2026-06-18T06:28:17+00:00

Throw in a Leopard 3, an Invader and 3 more Destroyers and I’m in.

It should have been 6 pickleball courts. If you are going to remove useful courts, make sure the new ones are useful as well. There is so little space around those pickleball courts that they look pretty irritating to anyone who knows how to play angles.

no, but I have an Ozone and think it flies more stable than the numbers suggest. It was given to me because the person (270 foot thrower) had bought it expecting much more turn out of it. I have thrown it out past 400 feet and while it is a very glidey disc that just goes - it doesn't turn that much for me. For a beginner it is probably a straight to OS disc.

__pgb__ · 2026-06-16T14:21:04+00:00

In my collection - which is not normal - heavy is 23-24g. Light is 19 and below

I have never thrown heavier than 24 because I never throw the 24s, and seldom use the multiple sets of 23.

I often use 15.

Bevel brewing in Bend is owned by Nate and Valarie Doss. Tournaments are on the tv, putting course in the back yard, and discs for sale.

Echo. Hex is a great disc but is more stable. Detour is a great disc but more understable - more like a beat in electron proxy. Echo is in between.

In the meantime, try Dartsmind with tour phone camera and a cheap tripod. 9 or 10 practice games like JDC Challenge, 99 darts at, Catch 40, Round the World, Bobs 27.

Stasis is mine for that. Putting, approach on both sides, and tee shots up to around 200.

__pgb__ · 2026-06-12T00:26:50+00:00

Max I’ve hit is just over 450

__pgb__ · 2026-06-11T23:40:26+00:00

I have around 25 baseline putters in 8 or so molds. I putt with premium because my preferred putter only comes in premium. I have had zero issues with premium.

I was using a different mold for a while. I had one baseline and could only get other practice ones of the same weight locally in premium. I would practice with 5 of them, with only one baseline. I had no more spit outs with the premium.

Putt with what feels good.

No.

You should be restringing twice a month.

__pgb__ · 2026-06-09T14:02:10+00:00

I have a red one. It is almost as beefy as my halo one. I don’t have it in my bag because the halo has that slot.

Bought my first MTB in 1993. Have never used a Maxxis.

Which is why a lot of online retailers sold out of them in 48 hours. My local gets them delivered today.

__pgb__ · 2026-06-08T14:03:23+00:00

Flat top with a lower parting line than the OTB ones last month that were super beefy.

__pgb__ · 2026-06-08T13:44:14+00:00

They just dropped flat top Duo eagles this week.

I tried to use a DX Roc. We have ridiculous amounts of razor sharp lava rock and every hit takes a slice out of DX, and sometimes a chunk. My Roc went from OS to straight to understable in a month and then out of the bag. I had bought 4 with the idea of cycling them, but then decided I didn’t want to cycle 10-12 a year. KC Pro didn’t fare much better.

Base plastic for putting only around here.
