The battle continues with my 1-step. I got a tripod for my phone, so now I can take much, much more video. Went out for a sesh today at lunch. I'm still struggling to a) transfer my weight and b ) to not round like crazy. I'm focusing on A to start with. I threw for so long with no concern at...

As part of a decision to really focus on improving my game -- practice schedules, etc -- and after studying Heavy Disc's awesome blog (again), I'm going to focus on standstill/1-step shots with mids and putters. I want to figure out how to generate enough oomph to easily throw 300+ with the...

Well guys, good news: I hit 300 ft (tracked by UDisc) with a Leopard. Cool feeling. Definitely working on that back foot; it feels faster! But I am wondering if I should be throwing mids and putters for now. I've heard before that learning to throw slower discs at distance is a great way to...

Hey thanks! And the video should be OK now

Hey guys. Back almost a year later. About 80 pounds lighter, which is great, but I'm still struggling. I want to try and focus on one thing at a time to fix, because I'm certain the list here is pretty long. What would you guys recommend? https://youtu.be/c_V411WIHIM

Thanks guys! The grip/wrist angle mistake was aggravating. I definitely knew better. Thanks for pointing it out. The weight transfer stuff is going to take some work. It feels very foreign; it's clear to my uncle (my main playing partner) and I that we've just never done anything but strongarm...

Hi all, I've been playing for years, somewhat off and on, but recently dove back into the sport, coinciding with a renewed push to shed a lot of weight. I'm doing well on both; I missed disc golf. However, despite reading as much as I can from Heavy Disc and studying YouTube, I can't get my...

As someone that works in print, I can appreciate the challenge these guys have taken up. It's not easy, and the DG community is certainly enthusiastic.

Nice man! I'd work on thinning out, increasing foot speed and putting a lot. That's what I've been doing anyway, but I'm heavy enough that the lack of range-of-motion for me limited my drives tremendously. If you're looking for set exercises, it seems like rows and ab stuff is a good place to...

Any chance of a stop in Southwestern Ohio?

Well ... it was yesterday, but I threw 75 putts from 24 feet and hit 68% of them. Kind of curious what that jives with compared to everyone else. On the plus, within 15 feet feels like a gimmie now.

I'm thinking: Winter hat + potentially a headband + neckwarmer Long sleeve t-shirt + cut-up-hoodie-vest + thick pullover Glove on left hand + hand warmers in pockets Winter socks + waterproof hiking shoes (and they have stood up to the task)

I refer to Freezer Bowl #2.

The vest sounds like a great idea! Might need to go invest in one...

(First off, I did search for some previous threads about winter tips and didn't find any. If I missed one, link me and shut this sucker down.) I'm in the Dayton, OH area and in late February my uncle and I are playing a tournament. We've never been serious winter players, but playing our first...
