Thanks for your input. It is not that they do not fade, they just do not fade as much as a QOLF. They also do not turn as much, hence being money for line drives. To trot out the old standard, PD is to Teebird as OLF is to Eagle. Use the right tool for the job. This is the same reason I do not...
I mostly throw PDs on line drives. If I want an S-curve, I throw a SOLF or QOLF because they have less HSS and more LSS. Even throwing big D S-curves, I don't think I've ever gotten a PD, SOLF, or QOLF much past 400', but do it pretty regularly on flat ground with various big-rimmed behemoths (I...
360'. 400' on a really good pull. I am no big arm, and throw a Katana about the same, sometimes up to 420', just with less control. A mid 160s PD is going to be about as long as anything for the decent player. It will be a heck of a lot more consistent than the super duper uber hyper new-fangled...
Congrats on the new-found distance. You are probably throwing nose-up if you are throwing mids farther than drivers. There is a ton of talk on here about how to get the nose down.
Good point. Honestly, when I am throwing far, it feels like only my forearm, wrist, and hand are actually doing any work, and it is so short of a pop, like a little jab punch, that it does not require too much effort. To me, this is the beauty of the towel snap drill. It teaches you this late...
You are totally over-thinking this. The hips will pull the arm; the arm just gets towed along. When the disc hits your right pec, pour on the coal and go like hell. It should feel as though your arm is catapulting the disc with very little upper body until the right pec.

I've had SOLFs and PDs that were pretty stinkin' close to identical in flight. They do not beat in the same, though. My PDs have kept their HSS better.
