New to the sport and was wondering if anyone knew the best place to get dics online and what I should be looking for in them?

There's plenty of online disc golf stores to choose from, but I've used several of them and have always stuck with the same vendors more often than not knowing they'll get the right discs for you, down to the precise colors & weights the best they could.

If you want to look at discs and purchase in person.  You can find 'em at Dick's Sporting Goods in Clarksburg, Morgantown area or you can show up at the course in Fairmont during one of these tournaments.  They usually have tons of discs and disc golf supplies for sale.

There are a lot of discs to choose from online. Here are some of the online stores where you can purchase really beautiful disc golfs.
