Driver
Fast and low profile, these discs are made for distance. Drivers can be found in varying levels of stability, ranging from discs that will gradually turn to the right to discs that will pull extremely hard left immediately after release. Although these discs are the longest flyers out there, this is accomplished at the expense of accuracy.
Midrange
Used for the "in between" distance shots, midranges are often the staple of a golfer's game, especially on shorter courses. These discs are generally of medium relative speed with good glide and a focus on control rather than distance. Although the recent trend in disc golf has been to develop smaller-diameter discs, many of the very popular midrange discs are of medium to large diameter. Midrange discs generally are taller and more blunt than drivers but sharper and flatter than putters.
Putt and Approach
The most blunt edged discs, Putt and Approach discs generally have a tall profile and are slow flying. Used for putts as well as short drives and approaches, these discs are made to fly straight and are the most accurate discs in a golfer's bag. Putters are often made in soft, tacky plastic in order to grip the chains better and stick in the basket.
