Most of the X-Outs (or whatever DC calls them) I've had from both Innova and Discraft have been this way, but you do once in a while get one that is absolute trash. I had a Champ X-Out Gator that was the ugliest disc I've ever seen, puke green with orange, and it had a flight plate that sloped...
It was just a B-tier where he had zero chance of not taking first so he was pretty relaxed and not in super competition mode. I don't think he got my sense of humor though. I was just fucking around with him on a 500' hole with water on the right, saying "last year Avery laid up safe about 450'...
When I played with him a couple years ago he was throwing Eagles on most holes from 225-350. I asked him why he didn't throw Rocs on the shorter ones and he just said he was comfortable with the Eagle and can make it do anything he wants without having to throw it hard.
Not sure if this was mentioned, but I remember someone mentioning that Feldberg said the towel should be limp during the pull. If it is dragging behind during your pull then you are pulling too hard or using your arm too much.
I have a Champ Gator in my bag, and it gets a lot of use. Its really hard to throw a short S curve with most putters and mids, and its tough to finesse an overstable driver if you just want lots of fade/skip instead of TONS of fade/skip. Also, mids are just more comfortable in my hand, so even...
My longest throw on flat ground was a 168g ESP Nuke that was pretty flippy. It was a couple years ago though and I bet one of the max speed Blizzard discs could beat that, but I've never thrown one.
I think a lot of this post really nails what a lot of people are missing in the hammer drills, and it also applies to the rail. Great description.
Also, if your fingers are tingling then that is a bad thing. There is something in your timing or where your weight is positioned that is causing...
Pro TLs bomb also, especially if you go a couple grams lighter than what you normally throw.
When I was throwing well, TLs were much longer than Teebirds and not that much shorter than my distance drivers as long as they had enough height.
Something that you shouldn't try to force. It happens more from trying to hold onto the disc and putting your weight into the disc rather than something you're actively trying to do, at least until you really get the feel of the hit.
