How were your first year noob scores?
I keep throwing 70s on 18 basket courses.
It's weird. I've 2'd a few par 3 baskets (a very few) and even hit 300' a couple times. Sometimes I make throws that are amazing. Like, call ESPN because I'm taking disc golf to the big time. But then, the next few throws look like I threw them with my left foot.
I quickly corrected one mistake; throwing with my index finger along the outer edge. It was my first time. I didn't know. That may have a use, but isn't the primary style. Nose down certainly helped. I still throw higher than intended sometimes, but I don't put discs into low Earth orbit anymore. Let it rip is another good one. My rip is a bit inconsistent though. Sometimes too early. Sometimes too late.
I recently learned a two fingers under with thumb on top flick from another DGer. It's proving to be a great throw to know.
