People quite seriously get so worked up over what I say. Because.. He went into whatever about gatekeeping. Feels like someone is reading to want to be wrong and dissagree vs just read. whatever.
And, then in the end, nobody reads the parts where I say. "you do you" or "its about having fun"...
It's not a scoring vs learning thing.
Unless the plan is Take the 1 in 5 chances you'll get close enough with the 13 speed because of how wildly you throw it and consider that a success. vs an actual scoring round where you play the 30 foot short shot because it will be in the fairway and you...
Well, According to 2017 flight chart...
You would be correct.
However, I've never seen an under stable atom that flies like that until its beat in. So I duno.
Any of the anodes I've ever thrown have been ion flight with a soft fade while the Ions have always been straight.
And the atom...
There is one word in there that is the reason you cannot throw your crave 300 feet.
I literally teach people to disc golf. I'm not just some keyboard warrior here on the internets. I am also very active in the disc golf community where I live and know and play with a lot of people. My sample...
Yeah, that's why I keep using the Dynograph as an example.
You make changes and run on the same dyno to see if it was positive or negative.
People mistake all my comments as tech disc hate.
And, I'm looking at it from my career perspective as an engineer. How people are using it and looking...
I LOVE lightweight drivers/fairways.
I dont know what it is about putters and mids. I like them to have heft.
I have some lightweight putters here, and while I can throw them just fine. I cannot putt with them for anything.
I think if you were to start with lightweight putters and keep there...
I'm exaggerating for purposes of proving a point? I'm using a literal example of a real person I play with weekly. The part that I'm not telling you is how wildly uncontrolled he is with his 13 speeds and accuracy vs his buzz accuracy with is 90% while his 13 speed accuracy is maybe 30%.
When...
Crave is actually closer to a 7 or 8 speed.
MVP went full derp when they did their numbers and suddenly changed other things.
I digress.
The biggest thing is throwing discs you can always control. a majority of people throw the 12 speeds expecting distance, when they are getting 1 in 5 for good...
People get way to prideful over their 12 speeds.
And.. Granted, some people make it work, I wont say they dont. But there are better easier ways.
The best ones are these guys who talk about how they turn over 6 and 7 speeds, so they have to throw 12/14 speeds.
Yeah bro. Uhh, that's a force...
I ignore all "rated" speeds and go by the rim width.
Much easier that way and realistic.
Crave is 18 by PDGA measurements.
Now, leopard is 16mm, but oddly enough, the leopard3 is 17.
So. Theoretically that makes the crave an 8 speed, the leopard a 6 speed and the leopard3 a 7 speed.
Cause...
I switched some disc concepts around last year and honestly haven't fallen off of it. Let me explain.
I am a firm believer that we throw discs far faster than we should be throwing. Mainly we do it because we crutch on them a bit and it makes us feel more confident. Watching guys throw 11-13...
