    [DGA] Tempest

    Fine disc! Unlike others, I found this to be an easy replacement for a shryke or tern which I typically bag. I have two proline now and they both bomb for me and my 400' max arm. Nice controllable turn out of the hand, I typically release them with a bit of hyzer. It does have a touch more...

    Oblique Sling

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, lots of this hit home with me. I am currently really breaking down my form, and luckily had one of my recent rounds videotaped ... which really made it easy to see things I am doing wrong. (bracing, spinning, off arm chicken wing). I am now in the process of...

    Rocking the Hips

    I need to video mine and analyze before I keep talking. But for me, not thinking about it I believe is making my reachback shorter and at the same time removing any tension ... at least that is my hypothesis. The end result is that right now I feel much more balanced and dynamic and the...

    Rocking the Hips

    So I have been following this thread and working on some of the thoughts. These discussions are great because certain things click for different people. :clap: The last week or so I have been hitting much harder, and I only changed one thing. I completely quit thinking about reachback/wide...

    Tampa / Clearwater — road trip report & my course rankings

    I just moved here last year, and I think you nailed the rankings. Nice work! I played Holloway last summer (probably August), and it was seriously one of the most miserable rounds I have played in my life. Soggy/muddy spots, riddled with mosquitoes, sweltering heat and humidity so severe I...

    Best Clearwater area course ... ASIDE from CS or Taylor?

    I just moved here from Texas and haven't got to play all of them yet. Taylor, Tocobaga, USF noticeably. Right now, my preference in order is: Picnic Island Cliff Stephens Cypress Point (nice mix of holes, and some lengthy ones.) 22nd Street (mainly because it has some long holes and a bit...

    Review by DamonRipper in course Waurika DGC

    3.50 star(s) Good course Makes great use of the land in general. Some interesting shots... Nice new Veteran baskets! Requires a variety of shots Some really nice teepads 15-17 aren't very good, feels like they ran out of land and just squeezed them in. Some extremely tiny teepads, almost standstill...

    Konipiste Open

    Great tourney, seeing those guys crush was fun. You can tell that when any one of these guys is "on" they can just cruise to victory. Eagle put on a clinic this week, there is hardly anything you could fault him on. Very impressed with Seppo, I've seen him several times but he seems to be...

    [Axiom] Mayhem: 23mm Distance Driver

    Just wanted to say this is still my main workhorse driver, I have three of them that I rotate, all 169g and fly identically. This disc, for my arm speed, is close to perfection. It flies for me like a destroyer does for the big arms. Enough stability to be reliable, even in some wind, but...

    Ever hit a random wall and just Have no desire to play DG?

    I would work on putting and touch approaches only. Don't worry about throwing, you'll probably be fine there. FYI, I have experienced the same thing as you several times. I chalk it up to the ebb and flow of life, things come and go in importance and that is fine. Just enjoy where you're at...

    What do you find more challenging...a long, heavily wooded course, or a windy open

    ^^ What he said Too much of either is no fun to me. The best courses incorporate both. Like the beast at Waco, to me that is the one of the best designs I've played. A good variety of long and short holes, and exactly half of them are in the woods. It really tests your full game ... and...

    [Westside] War Horse - Overstable driver by Westside Discs

    I haven't even thrown mine yet, but they had these cool special editions so I had to snag one!

    Ridiculous Photog @ GBO

    If you're professional, you should be able to tune out such things. Motion is what is usually disturbing, someone standing/sitting/laying wouldn't bother me at all. She is super cool, and I like the shots she captures...
