What is the best brand of pencil for disc golf?

I like the old yellow Ticonderoga pencils. It is good for marking any score, from double bogey to ace.

Any other preferences?

Why am I not surprised you've "lead" us down this path? I believe I've marked more aces with a pencil from the standard box you can get at OfficeMax.

For day to day penciling, I also prefer the classic Dixon Ticonderoga #2. Good lead (I know it's graphite) and a no-smear eraser.

For disc golf, nothing beats my trusty Nebdisc pencil. ;)

I just went to the supply closet at school and it is filled with DT#2s. Hands down the best pencil.

Every time I pass Ticonderoga, (the locals call it "Ti") I remember the days in the dead of winter, temperature -25, and see the huge tower of steam billowing from the factory going 1/2 mile into the frozen sky, big ice clouds...and think of those pencils, best used for disc golf

Any standard carpenters pencil - durable, mark dependably and they're easy to spot when they wind up in someone elses bag. :D

I think we should go to DT #1's to make reading the cards easier.

I just looked it up, they never made pencils in Ti. It's always been a paper mill

My bad.

I prefer the prize-payout ones... for placing 40th in the C-tier AM2...

For "pencil fighting", there was a Raven pencil that was unbeatable if you knew how to flex on the hold. I remember those Ravens were a three-part construction instead of the standard two-piece design, and it made all the difference in the world. I had one that managed 23 wins before the middle was whittled away by the "chop style" players who basically dragged the metal eraser cap instead of going for wood-cracking impact.

That baby defeated two of the giant-diameter green 2nd-grader pencils during that streak, too.

I'm pretty sure it was called a "Raven".

pencil fighting... I remember those days. always went for the round NFL pencils... hard wood and no rubber.

Husky was the best pencil for pencil fighting.

pencils are for cheaters

I'm partial to Mirado Black Warriors. 2 and a 1/2, baby.

werent huskies illegal for pencil fighting?

the NFL pencils were where it was at. Those suckers held strong but when they did finally give out they went out with a bang.

The NFL pencils were top's .
BTW- I always hated those chop style pencil fighters, I made sure to pop a thumbnail or two when those guys came around!

shameless DISCRAFT promotion time
Innova tout's the slogan " lowering scores since 1983 "

Not when it was Husky vs. Husky. I hated it when one of my holding fingers was whacked!

The one the four disc golf junkies should have at tee off of their round, that none of them have!

So you were " that guy " . I thought you looked familiar. :D

Im smelling some pencil fights at the cedar hill tourny.

I used to whoop up on people with the dixon ti no 2., the sweet smell of yellow paint.....ahh I think the metal on top made a sharper warhead.

The best pencil is the one that doesnt whip!!! Oh and the Discraft Pencil because it doesnt have an eraser like those Innova ones :o:o:o
