Women and Distance

I just wanted to added that I recently changed my pull line. Before I was coming more across the chest, but I started throwing closer to a waist level, and it seems to engage my hips even more. I am now reaching holes I previously couldn't.

I think I have recorded 32 rounds at my home course(probably played over 100 there) and since I started throwing this way 2 days ago, have thrown longer drives on 8 of the holes than ever before. First hole I tried it on, I outdrove my previous best by 50-60 feet.

I've heard this before from others. I'm no kinesiologist, but it makes sense in my mind's eye as well. Wish I could say why I feel that way.
 
You just talk about discs. Distance comes from technique. I see like zero connection between the title of this thread and your post.

Nice list of discs you throw or threw. What should we do with it ?

If my wife ever wants to actualy learn to throw a disc properly, i'll give her a stack of putters and we start working on her technique. No disc in the world can replace solid technique.
 
My main point was that even light weight drivers are a bit much for a beginner. My daughter has a dx leopard and a pro tl. Great discs for a beginner right? 143 and 150. Awesome weights, right? But she can only throw 140( on a good throw), so they both still hook left. I've seen a lot of girls throw. Until you are getting 175 feet or farther,any driver is going to be nose angle sensitive and hyzer out on you.

I think most guys can drive 200 or farther in the first couple of weeks, but it takes a lot longer to get there as a woman.

And no offense, but if I had started out with putters, I probably wouldn't have kept playing.
 
Try a Maximizer. They go straight for throwers with little enough power that everything seems to fade.
