Step Putt... is the bigger problem, in my limited experience. Watching Dave Feldberg and Johne McCray step forward and touch down before releasing the disc ...every time... just irks me. Why do they get away with it? But what do I know?

Philo Brathwaite is the one you, in particular, should watch. Smooth with superb disc angle control. I don't know if you were able to glean this from the four pages of comments that you've received, but your first main issue is disc nose angle. It relates to your grip, your reach back, and...

Economic Question? If we follow the hypothetical: (1) pro, (2) with signature disc, and (3) with desire to optimize [something], then all that's needed is knowing what the [something] is, and what strategy optimizes it. Let's say that the [something] is money, because...it's a job. Then...

No it's not. It's selective PDGA interference in commerce. Not cool.

I initially thought of Colt because it is shallow and has a lot of glide. But it definitely has high speed turn. So, it will depend on the girlfriend's power whether or not it's "straight". Otherwise, it's a good choice. Available in DX plastic, too, with a cool stamp.

Interesting that you mention that. I read through the Bible fully each year, and have been doing so for 15 years or so. I can't help but alert when my eye comes to a word in the Bible that is a disc name, like: Destroyer, Leopard, Judge, Justice, Verdict, Gazelle, Eagle, Witness, Truth...

We're Not Doctors... ...but you've asked some health related questions. For a man in his mid-50s, walking and throwing for an hour shouldn't deplete your energy stores. So that points to something with your metabolism and your diet. Take this advice for what it's worth. You didn't say...

I had an opportunity to play Brahan Spring Park in Huntsville, AL this April. It's a very old, beautiful short course set within a small forest or large grove of pines. The fairways and tee pads are not well marked, so it's a mystery to follow the map. Fortunately, I played with a local who...

I'd buy the Shark for a friends/neighbors starter kit. Phil G.

Interesting discussion. I'm new to the sport, and have really benefitted from Innova's numbering scheme. At least, it taught me how the discs are organized, and what they are supposed to do when thrown properly. As for naming, eh, I don't think that it matters much. The flight charts are...

Trainee. Someone needs to come along side this person to impress upon him/her the idea that a TD is serving the local community, and to teach him/her how to organize, work with others, and communicate. Once again, the officers and volunteers in my local club really excel in serving the...

Sweet Guy, Really... I've met Ivan on a couple of times at Bluemont DGC in Arlington, VA. Once while he was filming. He's really a nice, unassuming guy, and very willing to talk disc golf. He is simply what he is. I queried gently about whether or when he would use a backhand shot, and he...

Question 1: What makes you buy one disc over another? Replace or duplicate a disc with known flight characteristics. Question 2: Are you frequently losing discs due to wooded areas? What made it difficult to find it? (If you did) The discs that I've lost most were: (a) in water, (b) in deep...

Best thread I have ever read on any discussion board of any type. Ever. Je Suis Platebee...

Enjoyed Oldsmar Very Much... I had a chance to play Oldsmar at Sheffield Park on Friday the 26th. Although breezy, the weather was clear and the course was mostly dry. We decided to play from the white tees, but took a look from each available gold tee. I can see how this will be a genuine...
