Best DGA Discs For Beginners
Vortex
The Vortex is the first disc in the Catrina Allen lineup! The Vortex is a speed 7 disc that is easy to control and will hold any line with ease. It has excellent glide and just the right amount of turn for newer players and veterans alike.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 7/6/-3/1
Reviewer Flight Numbers 7.1/5.8/-2.9/1
Squall
For a solid throw with a bit of personality to its flight, the Squall by DGA fits the bill. This disc has a smooth flight with a hint of turn and slightly stronger fade before it sits down. The disc has an average to thin sized rim, and has a great feel for making a nice midrange or approach shot.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 6/4/-1/1
Reviewer Flight Numbers 6/4.1/-1/1
Sail
The Sail is an understable distance driver from DGA, meant to provide a wide range of players a disc with a wide array of possible uses. With a high glide rating, this driver will allow new players to increase their driving distance, as the Sail will remain aloft with lower speed drives. This disc is great for shots meant to end without fading back.

Reviewer Flight Numbers 10.2/5.9/-3.8/1
Rift
If you are looking for a point-and-shoot midrange with a clean, smooth feel in your hand, then look no further than the DGA Rift. This is an all-purpose midrange disc that will earn a spot in the bag for players at any level.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 5/4/-1/1.5
Reviewer Flight Numbers 5/4.2/-1/1.5
Blowfly I
The Blowfly 1 takes “super soft” discs to a new level. This disc is not only soft, but flexible and bendable. The Blowfly 1 has a slightly overstable flight to it. This disc travels at slow speeds and stops where it lands without sliding much. If you like soft putters, this is a disc you’ll want in your bag. The Blowfly 1 has an interesting shape that feels very comfortable for a fangrip, but strange for a powergrip. (Who knows why you'd want to power grip a disc like this anyways). The Blowfly 1 and the Blunt Gumbputt have a very similar feel.

Reviewer Flight Numbers 2/2.1/-0.4/1.9
Rogue
The Rogue is an incredibly straight flying disc for how fast it is. It's one of the fastest discs on the market with the amazing turn and fade flight ratings of -1 1.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 11/4/-1/1
Reviewer Flight Numbers 11/4/-1/1.4
Pipeline
The DGA Pipeline is a straight flying, controllable fairway driver. It is used for gliding through tight fairways, backhand or forehand.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 8/5/0/2
Reviewer Flight Numbers 8/5.1/-0.6/1.7
Aftershock
The Aftershock is a solid overstable disc in the DGA lineup. While not quite as overstable as the Shockwave, the Aftershock still offers a consistent and predictable fading flight path while also providing more distance. This midrange can handle powerful throws and will keep its line for almost the entire flight path. The disc features a microbead, increasing the stability slightly and offering more durability.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 5/4/0/2
Reviewer Flight Numbers 4.5/3.6/-0.2/1.9
Steady
The all new DGA Steady is a superior putt and approach disc that pays homage to "Steady" Ed Headrick, the founder of Disc Golf. Headrick was known as "Steady" because of his steady hand and consistent putting ability.
This is a beaded putter that has a hyzer finish at slow speeds. It also has a relatively straight flight path when thrown with some power.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 2/3/0/2
Reviewer Flight Numbers 2/3/0/1.6
Undertow
The Undertow is a straight flying distance driver with a similar feel and flight to a Rogue, just a touch slower. This will be a placement and precision driver for advanced and intermediate players, allowing them to pinpoint landing zones and carve tunnels with ease. Beginners will see little turn, if any, and a slow and predictable fade.
Manufacturer Flight Numbers 10/4/-1/1
Reviewer Flight Numbers 10/4.2/-1/1.1
