Divergent Discs 5 Disc Variety Disc Golf Set | Includes Putter Midrange and 3 DriversDivergent Discs
Made for Beginners
Unlike most disc golf brands that design discs for pros and then try to market them to the masses, Divergent Discs was built from the ground up for beginners and casual players. These discs aren’t made for 500-foot bombs or highlight-reel rollers—they’re made for the 90% of players who throw under 300 feet and just want to have a good time on the course without needing a physics degree to control their plastic.
Whether you're playing once a week, once a month, or just showing up because your buddy dragged you out on a Saturday morning, Divergent Discs is made for you. The molds are easy to throw, forgiving, and focused on getting fun and functional flights for real-world players—not touring pros. If you’re looking for a disc golf brand that actually gets what it’s like to be a beginner, Divergent is it.
Designed for Lower Arm Speeds
Divergent doesn’t just make beginner-friendly discs—they make discs that work even when you’ve got very low arm speed. For players throwing under 200 feet—especially seniors, women, kids, and brand-new players—most other brands’ drivers might as well be dinner plates. But Divergent Discs has a few standouts that are uniquely built to fly well with minimal effort:
Leviathan (Midrange) – Extremely understable, lightweight, and designed to glide straight with almost no fade. It’s the perfect disc for learning smooth releases and seeing your throws actually stay on line.
Tiyanak (Fairway Driver) – One of the most understable fairway drivers ever made. With very low arm speed, this disc can still get a beautiful S-curve flight—something almost no other driver offers. Ideal for juniors, older players, and anyone still learning how to get full flights.
Basilisk (Distance Driver) – Don’t let the “distance” label scare you off—this disc is built to help low-power players actually unlock distance. If you’ve never seen a high-speed disc turn and glide properly at your throw speed, the Basilisk will be a game-changer.
These discs aren't just easier—they're specifically engineered to help slower throwers get the kind of full-flight experience that most discs simply can’t deliver. No other brand caters to low-speed players quite like this.
Flexible Rubber Discs
In addition to their beginner-friendly plastic lineup, Divergent Discs offers something you won’t find from any of the big-name brands—a line of flexible silicone discs called StayPut. These ultra-soft, rubbery discs are designed to land and stay put, meaning no big skips, rollaways, or frustrating 40-foot flares when you were just trying to lay up. Perfect for tricky hills, rocky greens, or anywhere you need the disc to sit exactly where it lands.
Some standouts in the StayPut lineup include:
Golem (Approach Disc) – A super overstable approach disc that’s ideal for short, controlled shots. It’s your go-to when you need the disc to hit the ground and stop cold, especially on sloped terrain.
Wyrm (Driver) – Despite being soft and floppy, the Wyrm is a seriously overstable driver. It’s great for low-skip utility shots, touchy forehands, and awkward lies where you need control over power.
Alpas (Putter / Approach Hybrid) – The most beginner-friendly of the StayPut lineup, the Alpas is an understable, slow-speed disc that’s great for soft approaches and putts that won’t bounce or roll away. It’s got a gummy feel and tons of grip, making it popular with players of all skill levels.
While the StayPut line isn’t strictly for beginners, these discs earn a spot in just about anyone’s bag thanks to their unique ground behavior and ultra-soft feel. Whether you’re facing fast greens or just want to avoid those “why-did-it-roll” moments, these rubber discs are a surprisingly smart addition.
