    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    I think you've got to be able to see form before you can learn. I think every advance I've made is because I've been able to perceive something that I was previously looking at but couldn't really see. Part of the issue I have is having to run down so many red herring tips that are ultimately...

    First form check!

    I've stopped messing with UDisc and only track my scores on sanctioned league and tournaments. What a relief.

    First form check!

    Jawbreaker breaks in to a more neutral disc pretty quickly, which gives it more distance. I like the feel of that plastic, too. Pair that with a Z and it's an interesting pair—very different flights, same disc. I've recently added a lighter Halo Roc3, which is actually nice and flat. That will...

    First form check!

    It's amazing to me how much I lean on my Jawbreaker Zone for forehand ups and short wooded drives. I have to make myself work with backhand ups or risk losing my touch.

    Durable minimalist/barefoot/zero drop shoes

    mine started delaminating on the layers around the top of the toe box. Glueing them back down was a mistake as that cause the whole fabric to start to rip from the extra friction I loved the feel

    Tilted Axes, Spirals, and Dynamic Balance

    I've wondered if there's a phase aspect to any OAT or distortion of the disc where it may wobble, return to true, then express the wobble again—like the oat expresses in waves of stored energy. I wonder if this has anything to do with when a disc turns. Hard to know with variable wind...

    Post a cool disc golf photo

    Cool to have a course close by.

    Remember when discs used to be cheap?

    I spend more on tournaments and league than discs year over year.

    Remember when discs used to be cheap?

    Weren't discs like $10 to $12 when I was buying them out of trunks in early eighties? I can't remember. Asking for a friend.

    Tilted Axes, Spirals, and Dynamic Balance

    Smooth, clean hyzer with an understable disc will be more stable. Wind obv., but practicing keeping a flippy disc on hyzer is informative and beneficial from my perspective. You can almost craft any shot with an understable disc, it's just harder, and the wind might take some of those shots...

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    Been driving out to Royalton Ravine, which has to be the best course in this area. Did OK. Takes me a while to learn the holes and shots. Doing a bit better at this throwing downhill. Foraged some ramps.

    Tilted Axes, Spirals, and Dynamic Balance

    Maybe it's that, or they accommodate right and left hand throwers by recording a +/- data point.

    Tilted Axes, Spirals, and Dynamic Balance

    I'm definitely building new muscle and muscle memory as I go, but from the first times I filmed myself I recognize a primary issue is starting to uncoil before establishing brace. I don't watch Trebuchet enough to characterize his methods or contrast those with any other coach. I do recognize...
