Parts of a Golf Disc

Do you know how to describe different parts of a golf disc? Knowing disc golf terminology prevents confusion and builds your knowledge of the game. These are the basic parts of a golf disc:

• Flight plate: the area inside the shoulder perimeter — the disc center — that forms the shape of the disc (minus the rim)
• Shoulder: the connection between the rim and flight plate sometimes with extra plastic, sometimes not
• Upper rim profile: the shape of the upper rim between the nose and flight plate
• Lower rim profile: the shape of the lower outer rim
• Rim bottom: where the disc sits on the surface flat
• Rim wall: the mostly vertical surface of the inside rim
• Flight plate bottom: it’s the same area as the upper flight plate only underneath the disc
