I was getting DX for about $10 in the 80s. It's been nearly 40 years, the prices of DX plastic doesn't seem so unreasonable now in comparison (also factor in that at the time it was difficult to know what the heck the disc even did before you threw it). Prices on a lot of the stuff is...

I believe the R1 box is only 2 lbs lighter than the R3 box. The new rollers are 2 lbs lighter, but that's really not affiliated with the R1 vs R3 box (so it's a weight savings, but only if you're also going from an old roller to a new roller...not just swapping out the boxes on an existing...

Most tournaments...yes (non sanctioned ones typically care less about dress code, beverages on the course, etc). Leagues around here tend to do more varied stuff in terms of OB (like not having a line drawn) or flipping a disc instead of using a marker...drinking on the course, dress codes...

All rounds are definitely not played with the same rules. Rules are incredibly varied by whether it is sanctioned, what local rules are, etc. The PDGA has zero governance over non-sanctioned rounds. The biggest example would be whether you can flip your disc instead of using a mini. The...

Do you think not having testosterone is what's making it so difficult to throw it 100 feet these days?

Better? Yes. But also just relatively easy to do. Also in terms of a "goal"...it's tougher to measure. "Can I throw 500 feet"? When I throw it 500 feet then yes. "Can I park every shot from 100 feet and in?" For how long? With what kind of obstacles in the way? But I can also say that...

I feel like I should take back my statement that some of the people I play with are "terrible", because I don't know anyone "12 speed driver from 100 feet" terrible.

It's not just you, but throwing 500 feet is also 20x, or 100x, or whatever harder than consistently parking 100 foot approaches. Plenty of the terrible players that I play with regularly park their 100 foot approach shots VERY consistently.

We typically have people taking photos at unsanctioned events and I've never heard anyone care about it. Ice Bowl always has someone walking around taking group shots (though not typically while throwing). We have some fundraiser tournaments that also get some action shots. I played a...

I don't really "get it". Super expensive, you could just buy a Ridge Roller for this price. It's also specifically branded "Dynamic Discs" in multiple visible spots which won't appeal to some folks. I'm someone who buys all this kind of stuff. I saw Ricky using his and thought "I'll probably...

My guess (and only a guess) is that this is more of a question for the DGPT than it is for the TDs of the events (Unless the question is really just about "can I play" and not "can I get Q-Series points at them"). These events are primarily just A-Tiers, which means normal PDGA rules would...

I was short on golf pencils and looked on ebay. The cost for 50-100 was super reasonable, and it was basically the same cost to get them customized. I ordered a ton of them with our course name on them. I'm seeing plenty on there where you can get 144 for $35 or so with a line of...

My only question on the strategy is I'm not sure I love throwing 20 full sends and then picking "the best 5" (by whatever criteria) to analyze. Particularly given his penchant on some of the data sets to throw hard but into the ground. If I throw 20 full shots, pick 5, and I'm throwing 17...

Yes, though somehow Ella Hansen, 5th best player in FPO, made the team below that. Sky team only has 3 players on it.

While I agree, that also means nobody can ever know if it paid off or not.
