once a TL breaks in it will no longer be a good tool for control shots because it will flip over and break left. Teebird was a good call on your part

in the case of an overstable disc more stable means less overstable.
I also agree with the Teebird, but in my experience even it is a little too flippy to really crank a FH with. I flick a Teebird for straight and slight turnover shots, but something more stable if I need a little more power or more fade at the end.
And don't be tempted to learn to flick with that flick, it will not be fun.
So if something is really hot do you cool it to warm it?
Yes depending on what your definition of warm is.
overstable----------0----stable-----------understable
the 0 represents an overstable disc , lets say a teebird . Now if i say i want something more stable which direction would the 0 go.
The 0 represents a disc not zero , the word stable represents stable.overstable----------0----stable-----------understable
the 0 represents an overstable disc , lets say a teebird . Now if i say i want something more stable which direction would the 0 go.
Think of it this way could something that is perfectly stable become more stable?
there for people that cant understand a key.overstable----------*----stable-----------understable
the * represents an overstable disc , lets say a teebird . Now if i say i want something more stable which direction would the * go.
Think of it this way could something that is perfectly stable become more stable?
oh boy, here we go again....
To be honest i knew what he meant , but thats not the point. And that thing you said about making hot stuff warm was actually a good question, and yesI wasn't actually confused to begin with, sometimes I just like to mess with people a little bit. They say "Play devil's advocate," but let's face it when you say that you're basically just giving yourself an excuse to f--k with people a little.
I usually go by the same standard as technohic, and I think most people do, but I will start just saying overstable or understable to avoid confusion.
We could just make it easy on everyone and not say more or less stable but rather more or less overstable/understable.
Would that end the confusion?
you can keep it , it only seems to work on people who already understand what it means. And it was a parody for comedic purposes only so you cant sue so SOTMy lawyers will be contacting you about copyright infringement with the stabilityometer (patent pending).
I will offer this though, the clever addition of the 0 or * will warrant some consideration on my part....how about a 5% share in the company?
.
alrighty then - let the 50 year old noob weigh in...
i've had a "frisbee" in my hands since time began -
golf disc?
i just started playing 90 days ago.
in case you don't know, golf discs don't fly like frisbees - (insert laughter)
i found out the hard way -
it took me 3 weeks of dedication to sort it out -
and i about killed my body during that time trying to "muscle" shots...
have always thrown backhand exclusively -
when i tried forehand - it sucked.
then about 6 weeks ago i came down with the flu -
i was too weak to do much of anything but lie around.
but of course i was hooked on daily throwing by this time.
and even though i was REALLY feeling bad, i grabbed my discs and headed to a field i frequent.
when i got there and got ready to throw some shots -
i realized i just didn't have the strength to do it.
(to put anything on my shots anyway)
so i just stood there and flung the discs basically "arm only" - backhand.
it was not good.
under those current conditions, i thought maybe forehand might be the answer. (if i was just going to stand there and flick my shots.)
well, i think because i was so weak - and couldn't put any "arm" into my shots -
all of the sudden: MAGIC ! my forearm flicks went sailing right out!
i was using only my wrist action to fling them and it was working...
after i recovered, i went back out and practiced more forehand -
this time with a little step in and some gusto -
and found that my forehand shots were much superior to my lifelong backhands.
OK, let's finally get on subject.
i throw wraiths and beasts forehand. from the teebox that is.
from that point on, if i can't reach the basket with my Rhyno -
it's a no-brainer - out comes the TL...
the TL might be the only non-putter golf disc that behaves "frisbee-like".
straight as an arrow flight thrown flat - hyzer swoosh if you tilt its edge.
it's a beautiful thing to someone with a frisbee background.
it works best for me when the distance i am trying to cover requires around a 50% - 75% snap on it.
to full out "honk" on it, it's still a trooper, but try the back off method.
forehand from 150 ft. out - it's a laser beam.
i've flicked 3 approaches in the last month that held the line and drained the chains.
i agree with the previous poster who said learning to throw a TL will only pay dividends as you work on your forehand.
as well as when you try out other discs in the future.
anyway, i'm no expert, and i've got a long way to go -
but i thought my "experiences" might shed some light on your question.
although others may have "preferences" as to what disc they throw forehand -
i think you are spot-on in your choice of the TL for developing your forehand.
