Disc Golf Starter Set for Frisbeewinkel

---

Hans Krens from Frisbeewinkel asked me to design a starter set for disc golf beginners. The set consists of three discs: a putter, a midrange and a driver. Hans is not only a frisbee fanatic, he is also very involved in aquaponics, plant cuttings and he cares about the environment. His concept for the starter set combines his passions for frisbee and nature: three flying insects that represent the different characteristics of the discs.

Bumblebee 
Putter
Speed: 3
Glide: 4 
Turn: -0,5 
Fade: 2

Bumblebees are slow and gentle. They are furry, puffy creatures that bumble about pollinating their environment. A perfect insect for a putter, a slow type of disc that is mostly used for shots close to the basket or to throw straight lines. 
​

Stag Beetle
Stable Midrange
Speed: 5,5
Glide: 4
Turn: -0,5
Fade: 2

Stag beetles have mean looking jaws and a tight protective armor. They are bigger and more powerful than the bumbelee, and believe it or not, good fliers! Perfect for a midrange, which can handle more distance and power than a putter and is mostly used for upshots or long straight lines.

Dragonfly
Understable Driver
Speed: 8
Glide: 4
Turn: -1
Fade: 2

Dragonflies are majestic creatures. They have the most impressive wings and eyes, consisting of so many small parts and details. Faster than the bumbelee and the stag beetle by far, dragonflies live up to their name. This disc is an understable driver, which means it is used for distance throws and wants to curve towards the right when thrown with pace.

Just like my last disc golf design, this project had some time pressure behind it. I just moved to my new apartment, many boxes were standing around waiting to be unpacked and curtains and lamps had to be bought. Then Hans called me: if I could make three designs within the next 4 to 5 days. I'm proud I managed to do so and I am even more proud of the results! Lately I am getting more art commissions and I definitely feel like I'm growing and honing my skills. 
These discs will become available at Frisbeewinkel.nl in the next few weeks. They will come in three different colours. I will also sell these designs as posters and postcards in my Etsy shop.
