Great read. I need to try the slower start / delayed acceleration more deliberately. Lately, I've been oscillating between perfect pop and releases with no wobble and then some where I'm clearly trying to hard to get that release and getting some less clean releases with wobble. This is with a...

For me and my normal grip I feel a consistent thumb pressure pinch point that is pretty equal to the effort my index and middle finger are gripping with through the swing at my max speeds. But when I switch to the F1P-3 alignment the thumb naturally moves quite a bit in front of the index...

Noticed Gavin Rathbun seems to use the F1P-3 grip alignment. In the first pic you can see the disc resting pinky-side of the palm. Also, that thumb position usually results from this alignment. What's interesting though is when I grip it hard in this alignment, it bends the disc between the...

I like the banter and fooling around, so I'm not complaining about that @Jaani I only don't like that they, as pros, and commentators are really confusing with the already difficult to pick up terminology surprisingly often. Sometimes they get serious with it and correct each other and other...

I wouldn't doubt anything since they just called a hyzer release shot that turned due to headwind a force over and proceed to wonder why Calvin would intentionally choose to "force it over" when he clearly didn't.. lol

The jomez glossary authors may not even be commentators as well so it might not reflect the commentator's actual definitions.

Watching the DDO tournament and the super confusing comments reminded me of this again. at 8:10 Calvin throws this hyzer shot that flips due to huge headwind and Jeremy exclaims "who throws a forced anhyzer into that headwind...??" To make things worse, your linked glossary and the jomez...

I plan to test it again with max power throws and also test a 2 finger grip to see the spin comparison and power comparison but when I tried a few max power throws with more finger curl (DIP joint flexion) it felt harder to get max power. Maybe my body just didn't want to commit fully because it...

The circled joints / knuckles are called the DIP joint. In climbing, on small holds (crimps) where only your finger tips can fit, it's common to move from the left to the right grip positions the closer you get to your limit / needing max grip power. To me, the DIP extension disc golf power...

What the heck? Was the 99 from the car hit? Do a pre windmill to wind up for a more powerful windmill for the next PR, lol. When going for my max speed, I have to keep reminding myself to try harder otherwise I just slip into a more comfortable and repeatable high speed mode.

Maybe it naturally helped me butt-lead more than usual because when the brace is a bit more westward it seems to be easier / more conducive to leading with the butt.

@Brychanus I had an interesting experience testing some form stuff on the course tonight. I tried stepping my brace a bit more northwestward instead of northward on the tee and used a bigger and more eastward or northeastward X step instead of a mostly northward X step like I usually do to feel...

Nice, I ended up discovering the IT and really loving it, it flies like people describe the leopard 3 flies and the leapard3 is kinda straight for a while as you said. At the moment I'm using from most to least stable, I ended up with four senses, such a useful speed. Champ Eagle (can't find...

Interesting, two simulations now pointing to the fact that the nose angle is not as important as people may have thought and that the more important thing is that the other angles work with the nose angle. But as you said, maybe the nose down throw biomechanics could be easier to recruit power...

One downside is if you happened to not have a chance to practice the course and are playing it blind. A rule against rangefinders would punish players that had to play blind due to outside circumstances.
