...are there more than 20 "this is how I throw (or will learn to throw) 500 ft" posts for every 1 about learning to park 100 ft approaches consistently?

Usually with 12 speed drivers too.It's not just you, but throwing 500 feet is also 20x, or 100x, or whatever harder than consistently parking 100 foot approaches. Plenty of the terrible players that I play with regularly park their 100 foot approach shots VERY consistently.
I feel like I should take back my statement that some of the people I play with are "terrible", because I don't know anyone "12 speed driver from 100 feet" terrible.Usually with 12 speed drivers too.
A variation on #2--Tempo flick--for me, although I'll occasionally grab the Berg if I need it to sit down fast.Ok, I'll bite. Best tactics for 100' approach seem to be:
1. Jump putt
2. Zone OS flick
3. Berg
4. Glitch
Yay or nay?
For me 100 feet is pretty much always stall a flippy putter (PA4) near the basket and hope it goes in.Ok, I'll bite. Best tactics for 100' approach seem to be:

Taking 2 or better every time from 100' seems a bit more more useful to me than throwing 500', but what do I know?It's not just you, but throwing 500 feet is also 20x, or 100x, or whatever harder than consistently parking 100 foot approaches.

That is pretty much it for me although I aim a little higher. As much like throwing a frisbee as a golf disc.Nose up. Slight anhyzer release. Aim at the lower right hand corner of the cage.
Got that advice from Val Jenkins in 2007 for lining up short approaches, and I've held onto it ever since.
Same for me as well. I've played "catch" with a warm up disc which happens to be the same mold I use for my approach shots and practice repeatedly hitting my throwing partner in the chest with floaty soft controlled shots from varying distances. We usually stretch it out to 200 ft. Transfers well to the course via muscle memory and I play "catch" with the basket. Although as a lefty, I aim top of the left side of the tray rather than bottom right side but its whatever works for anyone who wants to create a repeatable common aim point and approach throw. I get a lot more throw ins, metal hits, and generally 10 footers or less this way than back when I was actually trying to "park" baskets, which is weird that trying to make it with a soft run works out better.Nose up. Slight anhyzer release. Aim at the lower right hand corner of the cage.
