All I know is that my best throw was 40 ft past a 340 ft hole, and that was with my Katana. I have only bombed it once like this and everything was just right. It was quite impressive for me, but I haven't been able to achieve this distance since. Most of the course I play the teebird is just fine. However if I go on a road trip, like I did in Nov., there were some holes where I needed a bigger driver. I really don't like the rim on the Katana. It just feels too fat in my hand. I was used to it when it was my go to driver, but since discing down I just don't like the way it feels any more. I prefer the feel of the teebird now.

Like what was said before. I think you should be okay to up once you are hitting 300 and over consistly. Try a understable driver such as a sidewinder or a valkeryie. Work on hyzer flipping them. Once you do that you will be getting mad distance. To tell you the truth, those are my two go to drivers when I
Not facing a head wind. And I can get them out to 400+ And I don't have a big arm by any means

I am still feeling pain in the morning and at odd moments. I have not played in a while, and have not gripped a disc hard in months.

Where does it hurt on the elbow? The outer/top part or the inner/under part? Either way, rest alone may not be the cure. For a lot of people that have chronic golfer's elbow, rest (e.g. not playing) is one treatment that is part of a larger recovery routine that focuses on shoulder strengthening. Go see an ortho.

I've been working on making discs "turn over" to the right. I was TOO successful, now they turn right all the time against my will.

where did I go wrong?

lol- nice post! happens a lot and could be numerous issues from rolling your wrist to throwing high-low with for sure off in your timing, probably a late release.

Thus has happened to me. I was over compensating to have a nice anny, and eventually I was rolling everything over. Just really try to focus on releasing with a slight hyzer angle

It should, but why would you do that when it costs you an extra $10?

I did a search on your last name and didn't see you come up. Have you joined the PDGA? You must be a member of the PDGA to get a number and a rating.
