Went out to field practice.

I showed up at this church to meet my friend and we started bombing them right away. It was 32 degrees with a 5mph right to left. We were wearing 3 layers and I thought i was doing better than ever. back in summer and fall I was throwing consistently 325'-350'. When I got home I used google maps to figure out how far I was throwing. I had some land in or past the soccer goal(about 425') but my average was 370'-390'...in three layers and thin air. I cant wait till summer! Anyone else get surprised by how their distance has progressed?

Last year I went thru a good growth/learning phase. For a strong Dogleg right hole (#2 at Kilborne, 290 ft) that takes a tight LHBH Hyzer/Fade I went from throwing Valkryie > Teebird > Drone > Zone. Controlled but power drives went from 275-300ft to 350ft. My next phase of development is throwing more sidearms.

Last summer, after a year off of disc golf, I picked up the discs again and by mid-summer I was throwing in the 330-375' range. Since then I've found DGCR, skilled playing partners, and technique threads/videos. I haven't been out to the driving range since fall (live in MN so just getting to disc golf is a plus this time of year) but I am looking forward to the spring. I've also been in the gym 5-7 times a week working out. My goal this year is to crack the 400' barrier consistently and I am confident that is more than just possible.

I have noticed that my putters and mids are going further, and more accurately, than ever before...so I'm hoping that my distance drivers show the same improvement in the spring!

g2avity I'm there with ya man, I'm just waiting to get out without having to bundle up and actually play a full hard round without ice on the tees.
Last year I was able to get my distance to 325' while still aiming and planting it where I want it to. I can get farther while sacrificing some accuracy.

Is this a brag about your internet distance thread?















I kid, I kid......

Google maps is not the most accurate. It once told me I threw 430. The throw was 363.

I went from riches to rags. Tendonitis in the elbow forced me to take up throwing with my off arm(LHBH). As of the 11th of Feb. I'll have a month of resting/rehabbing my strong arm, with at least another month to go I figure. Since I've started throwing lefty my distance has increased, but it couldn't have gotten any shorter. I still throw it behind me on occasion(grip lock... you dick). I did however have my first birdies ever(with either hand) on holes #4 & 5 @ Watson Lake with the south paw. I still fell apart on the last three to finish 1 back of everyone. But my drives and putts on those two holes were well executed... and what more can one ask for?
