A common question asked among disc golfers is what type of disc golf plastic should you throw? With so many disc golf plastics on the market and with variations between companies, there really is no real simple answer… However, Today on JustDisc, we’ve broken down the different plastics into it’s simplest form, to help you make a more informed decision the next time you buy a disc!
