Choosing The Right Discus

Rubber Discus:

Generally the material used for the lowest rim weight discus.

Positives:

• Excellent choice for beginning throwers as they can withstand a lot of abuse. (I found a rubber discus in my backyard that was over 8  years old recently! After a good clean, it would be “as good as new”)
• Cheap to buy!

Negatives:

• Low Rim weight
• Very unstable in flight especially with strong wind!
• Discus will lose lift and fall to ground sooner due to it’s instability
