3.50 star(s) Solid layout! Private land, but open to the public Good mixture of layout (open/wooded) Baskets, not tone poles Surprisingly difficult! Dirt teepads (will be upgraded SOON though) Closed on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, but open to the public all other times. The people here are...

After yet another disappointing round of filming my backhand form last week, an idea came to me that I'm curious to hear some opinion on. For my entire disc golf career, I've been a strong armer with backhand, maxing around 350' or so and always had massive troubles trying to get any more...

https://youtu.be/DjKnT1i99fc Curious to see how the higher echelon members here feel if, and how, this translates to disc golf... I grew up playing ball golf, and was always taught that you should hold the club the same way you would a bird... Just firm enough to not have it have enough space...

Would you mind explaining this a bit more? This bit is pure gold, and I know what you're saying, but I tried explaining this today to a few playing partners and they just looked at me funny lol. Could be really helpful to many folks I know if I can word this from another perspective

I see your point. In my defense, I did put a title on it in the OP. What personal advantages?? Am I going to be banned if my posts don't get enough clicks? I honestly just thought it was creative, not sneaky. Also, the length was on purpose. When writing something like this with that level...

Whoa! Logged back on after a few days, was great to see so many responses! Awesome to see so many respected members on here at least not hate it :) And apologies for the title, but hey, it did get you to click, right? As for the comment about Ricky's putts not getting above the basket rim...

Part 2: 6. RHYTHM AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BREATHING CONTROL. We all want to putt with the success of Ricky, that’s obvious, but to be fair, most casual/intermediate/advanced simply aren’t going to be comfortable going that low and weighted back. I know I can’t. It feels powerful to do it, but...

A thorough thought process on putting technique I'd like to take a crack at an article on putting theory if you will, and maybe help some of you out there shake things up a bit. If you're like i was at one point, while asking for advice and browsing these forums or endlessly streaming...

Ok thanks that clears things up a bit. As for the arm hugging the body... Is trying too hard to keep the disc on a straight line maybe an issue? I've concentrated on that to great lengths, but it seems to me that I end up almost keeping the entire arm too stiff , like I'm trying to keep the...

Ok so maybe a question on timing might help me feel this better. I was under the impression that if a line we're drawn through the shoulders and another through the waist, that they would stay pointed straight down the line of play all the way to the cross step, and then only the shoulders...

https://youtu.be/dmfcsS1j7Bw First attempt at working on the closed stance

At a loss trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong concerning the back foot going behind instead of around. Any tips on how best to transfer that weight through instead of around? When done correctly, is the back foot naturally going behind the lead foot, or is it something you are forcing...

man oh man, the scary thing is i feel like my knees are inward and my plant foot lands closed. Not even close. Ok, will knock out a few of these drills on a daily basis and repost after a bit. Thank you!

https://youtu.be/qrZJ9qafnTg https://youtu.be/5cjle2Y1iNk Hello all! First, apologies form the awkward camera angle- was desperate to get some footage on these forums and had to have a stranger shoot them for me. Also, both these shots are with an overstable speed 11 discs, thrown flat and...

Embarrassing realities forthcoming. So, in all 8 years of my obsessive drive to get better, I've never taken the Beto Drill video seriously... until today. I remember seeing it years ago and thinking, "I'm going to look ridiculous out there throwing 40 foot shots from my pec with no reach...
