Deciding on How Many Discs to Carry

There are a few ways of deciding this; you know how many you want to use, the rule of three, or bag size. Most people I’ve spoken with have decided on a number of discs through a combination of the aforementioned.

Determining your Play Style

How you play should really determine what kind of discs you are going to carry.

What Type of Throws are Needed as Determined by the Courses you Play

Now that you have thought about how you like to play, and know the types of discs that you should be on the look-out for, let us look at the courses that you are playing at. This information will you give you the best idea of what discs you should have in your bag.

These are the Discs that I am Choosing for my Bag

1 x BioFuzion Renegade 174g – trying this disc out, its speed is on the verge of too fast for me, but I can throw this without too much strain and get the flight path and good distance. Hopefully it’ll beat out my inertia’s distance with some practice and strengthening.

Step 2: Cutting Your Pattern

I made my strap 2" with, so cut 4 1/2" wide strip the desired length of your shoulder strap plus 36" (that will be the boarder of your bag)#N#Cut another piece 36" x 12", this will be the main compartment of you bag, I chose to use a different color of fabric, but it's obviously up to you.

Step 3: Making Your Shoulder Strap

With the good side of the fabric folded on itself, sew the length of you're soon to be strap.#N#Turn right-side out. Warning, this may take some time and cause mild arthritis, be patient.#N#Iron flat with seam centered.#N#Sew each length with 1/4" from edge.#N#Fold ends over and iron flat, then sew 'em.

Step 4: Prepping the Bottle Holder and Bag Farbric

Fold over 1/4" of the 6" edge of the fabric, iron flat and sew. This will be the top of your bottle holder.#N#Fold in half, good side in, with 9" edges touching. Sew bottom of bottle holder closed with a 1/4" seam allowance. Then turn right-side out.#N#Iron and Sew the 12" edge (without the curve) of your 12" x 36" fabric.

Step 5: Assembling and Attaching

Pin the 9" edges of your bottle holder fabric to the seam side of your strap followed by one of 36" edges of your bag panel (good side facing out toward bottle holder). Use the end of the edge near the 12" side you just finished sewing.

Step 6

You can finish the flap by cutting a 2" wide piece of fabric the length of the flaps edge.#N#Prepare the same way you did the shoulder strap. Pin and sew to the inside of flap first. Then fold to outside, iron, and sew.#N#Your bag is almost complete!

Step 7: Adding Patch

Create your vector art or text.#N#Place leather in laser cutter and etch your design, logo, or name.#N#Position on bag and attach.

Step 8: Go Play a Game of Disc Golf

You're done. Go play the best game of disc golf of your life thanks to your new custom disc bag.#N#Unfortunately it's raining here, so you get a backdrop of my kitchen floor with a water bottle instead of beer: (

Step 1: Find a Suitable Backpack

I used the "Jar Top" backpack made by Embark. These are available at Target and on their website. I picked up mine on sale for $20. They also have an "elite" version for $10 more with thicker/padded fabric. I opted for cheap and light. If I need to fix some stitching or add some duct tape later it will just make me like the bag better.

Step 2: Build the Frame

I used 3/4 inch pvc that I had on hand. It should be fairly obvious from the picture what goes where. I cut the horizontal pieces 25 cm and the vertical pieces 18 cm. The shorter sections of pvc that I used across the top and to connect the feet were 10 cm. The origional design didn't have the feet at the bottom.

Step 3: Pack Your Bag!

The frame should fit snuggly to maximize the number of discs you can carry. If you build to my dimensions the top flap should just barely close without having to stress the seams or zipper.

Choosing Midranges

For new players, think of midranges as your distance drivers. Sticking with midranges as your highest speed discs in the beginning will help you improve control and gain the distance you are looking for, but require a much lower arm speed to fly correctly.

Choosing Putters

Though the definition of “putter” has been expanded with the recent surge in popularity of overstable putters in the mold of Westside’s Harp, it’s fair to say that beginners have the most freedom in selecting a putter. The choice comes down to two things: disc weight and how the disc feels in your hand.

Adding Accessories

While not entirely necessary, keeping some or all of these items in your bag can significantly improve the quality of your round:
