I'm just gonna take a stab at his answer: raked or textured concrete.

I've never seen an Innova pro do so, so I can assume the answer is "no" but perhaps it's as simple as none of you really care for their discs.

If you could throw Millenium, what discs would you throw, if any?

Also (sorry for the double question) if you could bring back one extinct Innova mold, what would it be? My vote is for the Pegasus.

Millenium is part of Innova so yes i can throw them. I know Steve Brinster throws some Millenium, I myself have never been a fan of millienum but i have never really given them a chance.

most pros do a heel pivot

Also, are you a good coach or do you just find it to be frustrating?

i hope she does, I'm not a great coach but it seems to be getting easier

its actually the outside of my foot. it you look close my whole left side of my foot lifts. the reason is those weren't proper golf shoes they were regular skate shoes so if i landed and rotated on my toe i would have slid across the grass. i had to dig my shoe into the ground almost like a snowboard stopping. does that make sense?

Yes, it does make sense. This video shows what you're talking about, 45 seconds in. Your heel never quite hits the ground. Interesting.
