That's completely false. Ignoring the intention of the rule in an attempt to give yourself and advantage is "disc lawyer" plain and simple. That is exactly what you are doing. You can justify it all you want in your own brain, but that's a fact. What about all of the specs that aren't just a...

It should just be clarified that the disc weight is taken at time of manufacture. That's really what it means, anyway. It's not up to the players or TD's to enforce that rule. It's strictly between the manufacturers and the PDGA. It doesn't make any sense to force players or TD's to measure...

You hit the rail with the hammer on that one!

Those sound like normal numbers to me. You may not be at the normal last plateau before half hitting. My guess is there's some little thing that would get you 10'-30' more on most of those numbers without adding any wrist extension. High speed drivers aren't magic discs that automatically fly...

With respect to the trajectory of the disc, yes. Are you familiar with the flight dynamic terms roll, pitch and yaw? If so, nose angle is pitch. If you think about lift then realizing why nose down it important is easy. If the disc is flat, then the lift it generates is straight up. If the...

I doubt I still have any. I found they took a bit to break in, but then they'd go from the sweet spot to squirrley really suddenly rather than really quickly. I was always left wondering if this would be the throw that put it over the edge. I didn't have any confidence in them.

I agree that it's not as common as some people claim, but there are some discs that tend to break in unevenly and will get squirrley a lot faster than others. Every Illusion that I've thrown I lost because on one throw it just decided that instead of acting overstable it would just turn and...

It's worth noting that there are many aspects of any given disc's flight that won't show up on any flight chart. They would have to be way too complicated to accurately portray every aspect of every disc. Two discs with a -1 flight rating might take the same amount of power to flip up from the...

The turn and fade ratings are generally relative to other discs of the same speed, they don't represent a specific flight. So a -1 on the turn means that it's easier to turn than a 0 turn disc of the same speed and harder to turn than a -2 turn disc of the same speed. There are exceptions...

That article is specific to running. It clearly does not apply to disc golf, ball golf or probably hundreds of other sport specific techniques.

Yeah, I don't see how that's a myth. Surprisingly enough you don't have to play by PDGA rules when you are playing a casual round. It's not like the disc golf police will come by and add strokes to your score that doesn't mean anything, anyway. As far as I'm concerned, anyone can add a...

I'm not sure it would be as helpful as you think. You pretty much have to just learn who you agree with the most.

This article might help you figure out what the difference is between throwing a pure hyzer and a hyzer flip: http://www.discgolfreview.com/resources/articles/angles.shtml

The OLF is worth considering, too.

I've hit more putts with my Wizard than all other putters combined. That's why it's the only putter I carry. I can also throw it farther than a friend of mine can throw any of his discs.
