Discus Hand Launched Glider Recommendation?

Check out nesail.com a very good retailer and source of general information. You can find links to good glider only forums.

When you start talking DHLG you are talking about very specialized gliders. They tend to be expensive. Virtually everyone in the local club (PASS) has gone discus. The launches are simply amazing.

Good DLGs

I've had good luck with Polecat Aero products, I currently have an Xterm Pro and an XP3, They are both great. Oleg's Taboo is also a good plane. I don't have a Taboo but I've been beat by them.
