What disc weight suits a beginner?

Lighter discs, often around 150 to 170 grams, are generally easier for beginners and younger players to throw.

Does a new player need a driver right away?

Not necessarily, since many beginners throw mid-ranges and putters more accurately at first. Having all three types still lets them experiment.
