    Mental game, balance between focus and relaxed?

    Thank you all for the great comments. @Sheep This. I actually find myself doing worse when I am winning. "hard to to win a game you are winning" I am not sure what it is, maybe boredom like you said, maybe I feel bad for them. I learned to care bit less about their feelings and just pedal to...

    Struggling with putting

    Everybody got their favorite videos but this is one of mine that really helped in many ways (the tip about putting on a slope alone saved me many strokes): That and tossing the disc vertically up, catch and repeat really helped me to learn to put spin on the disc. If you are struggling short...

    Mental game, balance between focus and relaxed?

    Background: I have been playing for 4 years, still have major form issues but I am sadly one of the better players in MA2 where I am at (not very competitive). I usually play doubles weekly and usually finish near the top and just got 4th in a singles tournament. I remember been told I need to...

    Want to improve, please advise

    Hey Boilermaker! (class 2000 here). I am about 300 feet myself so I am no expert. Yes definitely rounding, I also see the disc going through a lot of movements from setup to release. Try this drill, it might or might not add distance but it will make you more consistent. You leave the disc in...

    The "Best" way to learn?

    Thank you all, broke 300 today Thank you all for the replies. sorry I haven't seen them for awhile. Bit of a good news, I threw a Beast over 300 today, not consistent by any means (usually about 260) but hey I will take it, it was one of my goals this year. I started 7 months ago and played...

    The "Best" way to learn?

    Thanks! That is a good point, I thought of that as I wrote. Ultimately we all should have a learning orientation. I have definitely been on both sides of that. My natural tendency is to give people tips, especially people I know just getting started. Most of the time it is welcomed. Sometimes it...

    The "Best" way to learn?

    Thanks for the helpful reply! I didn't play sports much growing up so it is more of an uphill for me I'd imagine. Congrats on the great arm speed/form that would take to get that distance.

    Greetings from Taiwan & Questions about teaching beginners

    Awesome Thanks RFrance, for the links. I love the list of videos and will work through them. Can't wait to go home and swing me a hammer! :D Nils, forgot to address your question directly. These are tips I heard from others: having two people tossing the disc back and forth like they are play...

    Greetings from Taiwan & Questions about teaching beginners

    Hey Nils, small world! I just saw Nathan's post about your disc shop on our Chiang Mai disc golf page not that long ago! I didn't see your post but I just posted something similar here. https://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138862 So I have similar questions about learning path...

    The "Best" way to learn?

    I am about 8 months in the sport. I am lucky to live few minutes from a course so I go two or three times a week and practicing putting at home. Watched tons of Youtube videos and taped myself few times. I can drive about 260 now, that is up from 180 when I started. My question is, does...

    [Innova] Leopard3

    Thanks! Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is fade, not turn, I knew that :doh: Good point on nose angle, definitely struggling with that, watched tons of youtube videos and working on it. Nobody (in person) told me about the wrist angle (pouring the coffee). I've only recently learned from...

    [Innova] Leopard3

    Just don't get this disc My first post, please be gentle :) I have been playing for about eight months pretty regularly. I am over 40 and don't have the best form or fitness level, so I have been working hard and now can throw a Beast about 270 or an old Valkyrie on hyzer flip to about 260...
