Hooking problem

[412Disc]

I'm still not very good at gauging how far the disc will fade yet. The beast was fading a little hard for my liking. But, as I said earlier, when I got a good toss in, the beast was wonderful. I'm not knocking the beast, I just think i need a slower disc for now.

Now that we got the disc golf issues out of the way, maybe we can talk about the other hooking problem?

Pimp been hard on you?

Don't throw them away, throw them forehand.

I'm fairly certain that's because the ratio of "speed:spin" is higher throwing forehand throws than it is backhand. While something like this can vary on an individual basis, I think it's true for most players.
That's why most people who throw forehand tend to use more overstable discs for straighter shots.

I think this is very untrue,I just think it's because forehand is so much easier to apply massive amounts of OAT too,I prefer understable-stable discs when i'm trying to go straight,my favorite is the OLS mold,which is a sidewinder top(I think)with some other bottom,or something like that.

Ever since I've started throwing the z comet and z buzzz, the hook had pretty much gone away. Occasionally with the buzzz, the disc hooks a little left, but I think it's a nose angle issue. The comet usually ends up staying on the line I throw. It really is a solid disc for me
