^I agree, when I got my first boss and threw that for a few weeks it made everything else seems so much easier to throw.

I know you can throw further than me but your suggestion seems like the kind of a$$ backwards advice that contributed to everything I'm correcting now.
Though I find it nessecary to expand your distance, everyone says form is the key, not doing whatever it takes to get high speed drivers out there.
How to get 500+ throws, buy 500+ discs.
My longest throws are still around 500 ft but those throws are rare.But soon i will probably throw even longer.
Not if you stick with your current thinking.........maybe if you throw a putter for a while you will be able to get your drivers over 500ft but throwing overstable won't help any.
My current thinking made me gain 300 ft in 3 years so i think i will stick to my training.Not that I only threw overstable but I started from the beginning the year of 2004 to only throw putters and then i got my first driver which where a Champion Orc 175g in the year of 2007.So then I only had a driver that was overstable for me but I threw it alot and trained hard with my quite overstable disc.The year of 2008 I saw the light and i knew what I wanted and that year I played like never before and I started to compete for my first time and then I had the chance to learn from others and them from me while we where competing.
Throwing putters would not help me to throw so much longer because when I started to play I only threw with a putter for 3 years before i got my hands on a driver.
I can throw my DX Birdie out to 300 ft and my Q-mega out to 350ft constantly.
My next step is to get my form more fluid so I can give the discs more speed.
I get a wilcat n valk to go over 300
I don't throw over 400ft like several of you are claiming, but I wish y'all would be more gentle with each other. I figure it's the practice more than the disc itself that makes you improve your form. But then again I never had much OAT to contend with either. I just think I don't put enough spin on the disc to generate much over 400' of driving distance.
In other words, there's a lot more to developing distance than developing a clean release.
OK NOW THAT I THINK OF IT............Devan Owens became a Big thrower by being a Torque Monkey like you by turning Spirits over which are more overstable than any Inoova of Discraft Disc.
Now if you go out and throw a lot of putters you will learn to apply more spin to a disc and putters force you to eliminate OAT and any other form of unclean release.
Wait was the "torque monkey" comment aimed at me or the guy that started the thread? I'm not trying to endorse one method over another. I'm just arguing that when you diagnose someone's problems and prescribe a solution before you've seen how they actually throw, your advice might not be helpful. One-size-fits-all teaching leaves a lot of students behind.
