Perhaps it is not the disc? Perhaps the Buzzz SS is more predictive of form issues?
I am one of the oddballs that move away from the "standards" when it comes to discs and learning. If you truly want to be good at disc golf and control your form, you have to throw discs that punish you for bad throws.
People would be like "why would you do that, you wont ever score good." Because ... you need to get score out of your head and "executing the planned shot" into your head. Score means nothing if you're hobbling along on a crutch the whole way. Your forehand nuke OS force flexes down the fairway. Sure you shoot a good score compared to the rest of your card. But scores are not a metric of skill in that sense. Because that particular method of playing usually only works on "that" course.
It's a question of "if its stupid and it works." Well yeah, There are tons of golfers out there going with that method. Is it right? Can't really say its right or wrong all around, but what I can definitely tell you is that there is a really low glass ceiling for that play style.
Mamba, Orbital and Sapphire are some of the flippiest discs out there. Never thrown a Crave. Those are discs I throw because my form sucks and I don't care to do anything about it
Mannn, I duno about Orbitals anymore, the last run they did that I bought, they were -1 turns. It was terrible.
I think they made some corrections cause I saw some others that looked "more" correct. But the 3 new ones I have here are not orbitals. Waves flip harder.
The new Mamba's are that way also, its pretty sad.
It might give you data, but it's not gonna coach you from a very bad thrower to a very good thrower. If you're wanting to spend $300, get a local teacher for lessons or throw more. Get a good foundation, then come back to the tech disc
I charge 50 an hour, but I don't get any new new players. They contact me, they say they want lessons, then I never hear from them again. Then I follow up with them. .. and it just fizzles.
I think there is a level of being scared to take lessons for disc golf as a new player. And don't be. Every new players form is atrocious, but its not hard to fix it and get down the fairway better. And working with a coach to set some goals on how you want to play so the coach can take you on that path with the teaching method.
I'm going to teach someone who wants to compete far differently than I'm going to teach someone who wants to have fun playing disc golf and not hurt themselves. I'm not going to spend an hour teaching a casual recreational fun player to brace like I'd teach someone who wants to be competitive.
I wish I could get more new style students. It's something I don't have much practice with. Mostly its people who've played 2 years, have semi okay form that want more distance or control.
