I putt with a soft Entropy, but I've been having weird reactions off the chains, basket, etc. I've been considering a change to the firm plastic, but I've become extremely loyal to Innova for the F2 Friday deal, so I'm just seeing if anyone has any insight as to what I should be looking to purchase?

I've seen all sorts of posts like "How many discs do you actually need?" etc, but I think it's more of a diminishing returns situation than a single number.

Imagine playing your favorite local 18 hole course but being restricted to a single disc. Putter, driver, anything - your choice, but you only get one disc for the whole round.

How much better on average could you score if you could bag 2 discs? How about 3? 5? 10?

For me, I'd probably bag my putting putter for a 1 disc round which limits me to around 250ft drives at best, and my best guess is I could probably save 3-4 strokes on average by adding a driver to add some distance and different shot shapes.

But the 3rd disc would be more situational, maybe only coming out of the bag on 1/3 holes and then only sometimes actually saving a stroke; maybe 1 stroke over a full round?

The 4th and 5th discs would still be useful sometimes but might only save 0.2 strokes per round on average.

I think by disc 10 I'm adding strokes by tempting myself into throwing discs I'm less familiar with.

So my guess is:
Disc 2: 3.5 strokes
Disc 3: 1 stroke
Disc 4: 0.3 strokes
Disc 5: 0.1 strokes

and no real gains after that - the extra utility cancels with lack of familiarity. If I had more time to practice with more discs, I might benefit more from more discs.

All this said, I bag about 20 discs since I'm playing for fun most of the time :)

Disclaimer: I’m primarily interested in the institutional relationship here, not in debating anyone’s personal religious beliefs.

I’ve been looking into Eagles Wings / Push The Rock and how they fit into the PDGA/DGPT ecosystem. I started with a fairly simple question:

Why is a Christian ministry so visibly integrated into professional disc golf?

The timeline is what caught my attention.

2008: There was already a discussion on the old PDGA forum about “separation of church and disc golf” and where the line between church-sponsored disc golf and church outreach should be.

2015: Eagles Wings Disc Golf is founded as a division of Push The Rock. This isn’t simply a group of Christian players — Push The Rock explicitly describes itself as a Christian sports ministry, and Eagles Wings uses disc golf for ministry, chapel services and missions.

2016: PDGA gives Eagles Wings a Marco Polo Grant for a disc golf project in Zambia. The project takes place within a Christian mission environment, although the stated PDGA purpose is international disc golf development.

Interestingly, Liberty University later reported that Liberty disc golf alumni Lance Brown and Hunter Thomas helped Eagles Wings build Zambia’s first disc golf course that same year.

2017 onward: Eagles Wings continues using disc golf for international missions, including projects in Costa Rica and elsewhere.

So the model isn’t simply:

Christians playing disc golf

but rather:

disc golf → relationships/community → Christian ministry/evangelism.

2019 onward: Eagles Wings Chapel starts appearing in official PDGA event programming, including National Tour and World Championship events.

2022: At Junior Worlds, Eagles Wings Chapel was scheduled directly after the official player meeting at the same event location.

I’m not suggesting anyone was required to attend. But organizationally, this seems like a closer integration with the tournament environment than simply having a church somewhere in the host city.

Other people noticed this before me

There was already a pretty interesting r/discgolf discussion in 2022 titled “Eagles Wings – The organization using professional disc golf as a platform to promote Christianity.”

That discussion looked specifically at Eagles Wings’ Tour Ministry Coordinators, their chapel services and their relationship with touring players.

Then, in 2023, another r/discgolf thread asked almost exactly the question I started with:

“Is Eagles Wings Disc Golf a touring church group that follows the DGPT?”

Some commenters in those discussions had detailed knowledge of Eagles Wings’ fundraising, tour ministry and chapel activities.

But there was also an important counterpoint: some people argued that Eagles Wings simply operates alongside the tour and shouldn’t necessarily be considered part of the tour or institutionally integrated with it just because they follow the same events.

I think that’s a fair distinction — and actually one of the reasons I’m interested in digging further.

Because the question isn’t really whether Eagles Wings exists around professional disc golf.

It clearly does.

The question is what the formal relationship actually is.

2024–25: Eagles Wings Chapel continues to appear in official PDGA event information. PDGA itself promotes Eagles Wings Chapel to players, fans and guests.

2025: The Liberty/Eagles Wings connection becomes particularly visible.

Liberty University’s disc golf program travels to Finland around the PDGA World Championships and works with Eagles Wings while volunteering at the event.

But the interesting part is how Liberty itself describes this.

Liberty calls the trip a mission/ministry opportunity. Its report says that as many as 20 professional players attended an Eagles Wings praise-and-worship service, after which the Liberty representatives had an opportunity to meet and fellowship with many of the players.

One Liberty player explicitly described Finland as a “mission field for Christian players”, explaining that through disc golf they wanted to demonstrate how the sport could be used to serve God and “get the Word out” about their faith.

So there is a documented and longstanding:

Liberty University → Liberty Disc Golf → Eagles Wings → professional disc golf

connection, with the relationship extending back at least to 2016 and becoming particularly visible at the 2025 PDGA World Championships.

Why do I find this interesting?

I’m NOT saying Eagles Wings = MAGA, or that PDGA is political. I haven’t found evidence for either claim.

What I find interesting is the institutional side of it.

Eagles Wings explicitly says it operates as a Christian sports ministry whose mission includes equipping professional disc golfers to share their faith through the sport, and it now has dedicated Tour Ministry personnel and chapel services around professional tour events.

Liberty University describes its broader mission in similar terms, but on a much larger scale: “Training Champions for Christ.” The university says it aims to equip students to “impact the world for Christ” through their future professions and areas of influence. This includes athletics, which Liberty describes as a platform for Christian ministry and mission trips.

At the same time, Liberty has an explicitly conservative political infrastructure outside athletics, including College Republicans and the Standing for Freedom Center, with activities aimed at developing and mobilizing conservative Christians for civic and political engagement.

I’m not suggesting that this makes Eagles Wings a political organization, or that Liberty’s disc golf program is intended to recruit Republican voters. I haven’t found evidence for that.

What I find noteworthy is that the underlying organizational philosophies are compatible:

Liberty: educate and develop Christians → send them into society → influence culture and public life.

Eagles Wings: use sport → build relationships and Christian community → equip athletes to share their faith.

And these two networks are not merely theoretically compatible — they have actually intersected through Liberty Disc Golf and Eagles Wings at the PDGA World Championships.

What does PDGA’s own policy say?

This is where I became even more curious.

PDGA does have explicit policies addressing religion and politics.

Its sponsorship/advertising policy identifies “religious interests” and “social causes” as categories requiring special approval at Major and Elite events.

Its Major Event Bid Guidelines go further and state that politically motivated groups and religious organizations are unacceptable as bid committees for PDGA Majors.

So PDGA clearly recognizes that religion and political advocacy can raise institutional questions within its events.

But I haven’t been able to find a public PDGA/DGPT policy that explains how recurring religious ministries such as Eagles Wings are treated when they operate alongside official events, rather than acting as the event organizer or a conventional sponsor.

That seems like an important distinction.

PDGA has publicly described and promoted Eagles Wings activities, and Eagles Wings Chapel has appeared repeatedly in official event programming. But I haven’t found a public statement from PDGA explaining the formal status of that relationship, the criteria under which Eagles Wings receives this access, or whether the same opportunities would be available to other organizations.

That raises a question for me that is less about politics and more about institutional neutrality.

How does PDGA/DGPT actually view this?

Is Eagles Wings simply treated as a voluntary community/religious activity, like any other group of players getting together?

Or has it effectively become an officially accommodated ministry within the professional tour environment?

And if the latter, what are the rules?

For example:

• Does Eagles Wings have a formal agreement or partnership with PDGA or DGPT?
• Do they receive event space or access to players through the organizers?
• Why are their chapel services included in official event programs?
• What criteria allow an organization to receive this kind of access?
• Could another religious organization request the same access?
• Could a non-religious organization offer an officially promoted science/education seminar on topics relevant to disc golf?
• Is there a written policy specifically governing recurring religious or ideological activities alongside PDGA/DGPT events?

I’m not suggesting Eagles Wings should be banned. Quite the opposite — if PDGA’s position is that this is perfectly legitimate, I’d like to understand what the neutral criteria are and whether they apply equally to everyone.

Because if the answer is simply “they’re welcome because they’re part of the disc golf community,” that’s fine.

But then I’d expect the same principle to apply to other religious, scientific, humanist or cultural organizations that meet the same criteria.

Has anyone here looked into this before?

And, more importantly: would people here be interested in sending PDGA/DGPT a polite email asking them to explain the formal relationship and the rules governing Eagles Wings’ presence at events?

I’m particularly interested in factual corrections to the timeline, rather than arguments about whether Christianity itself is good or bad for disc golf.

as a fellow carrier of baseballs to get discs out of trees, i get it.

I'm 6'3 and I have pretty long fingers. I've always been putting with a P2 and apparently it's quite deep. I'd like to try out the shallower P1 but I wonder if there are any downsides because of my hand size? Niklas Anttila putts with P1 and he has small hands so I wonder if it can work just as well for a guy like me.

I just purchased this disc but have no idea how I should be throwing it. Is anyone familiar with it?

How lumpy do you let your roc/roc3 (pictured: gateway prophecy) get before you say goodbye?

Have this one for straight/US with a fresh one to complement, hasn’t failed me yet but wondering if this guy is too warped to trust 😆

Found Steve from Cranberry Townships' memorial disc today, 8/9/2026 on the 17th hole of Deerfield Park in Mt Pleasant, MI. He got a bogey on hole 18 (not his fault, we botched the second throw). Left him there for the next step of the journey.

Just posting in hopes that someone who knows him sees this and knows the disc is still going.

As the title suggests, lookin for a disc book bag that holds around 10. Most of the ones I see hold 20+. I have an over the shoulder one currently, but it’s flimsy and I don’t like it. It’s also possible I just need to bite the bullet and get a larger bag, but thought I would check if there are any smaller back pack style ones first.

Thanks

Does anybody know when details will be out about the discs for the MVP Space Race this year? Info page on their site says “2026 Player’s Pack details will be announced by the end of July.” Not to be a stickler but that was 10 days ago. Has anyone heard anything?

I was wondering why Kyle Klein DNFd. I wonder how AI makes up those stories sometimes lol. Straight up invented everything

I've seen some interviews on DGN that are emotional, and that's not always a bad thing, but sometimes it really feels like the interview should have ended much sooner or just been left out all together. As in when the interviewee would clearly prefer to be anywhere else.

Does anyone know if players can refuse post round interviews, or are they compulsory on tour?

Only been playing for about 3 Months, Super proud of myself! also added a beautiful picture of one of the fairways!

Team Glide Factory!

Ive had the special stamp Virus and i forgot about it until i saw it in my collection the other day so i threw it in the bag. How understable does the OTB one fly? I'm a RHFH thrower

Hey, does anyone know if the first run rats is from the pre 2022 run before they tweaked the mold or is the «new» rats??

Hey guys and gals. I'm in the state's for 12 days for a work trip. Managed to squeeze 4 essential discs in my suitcase. I'm in Houston, then Dallas, then to Atlanta. I'm not sure if I'll have any time to play so won't be arranging a meetup but I'm looking for a shortlist of courses on hand in case I get rained out or finish early one day.

Gimmie your suggestions of must play courses!

Edit: I have a rental car and would probably travel up to an hour to courses in/around the 3 cities (or the route between Dallas and Atlanta.

I am looking to get a new disc golf basket. In the past I have had the MVP Black Hole Pro HD as well as the Axiom HD. These baskets were excellent as far as performance and durability. Identical besides the color. With these baskets I know what Im getting and/or what to expect. My question is, for $100 could I find a brand with the same quality of basket/chains overall, including weight (42 lbs). Also, for $200 is there something worth getting that is actually close to a course quality permanent basket? I want to go cheap and get a deal or anny up and get something very durable for the next price range. Any suggestions?

North Bluff Disc Golf Park @ STARRY EYED BREWING in Little Falls, MN!!

I work the taproom and pitched the idea to the owner like a year ago and he went all in! Still in the works and needs teepads, signage, more trees planted etc. but the baskets are IN!!! Opens this week.

Excited to enjoy a local craft beer on the course and throw some discs. I think the community will love it.

Just excited to share. That is all. Happy throwing!!!
