I used to throw pro wraiths but those were even flippier. And the star ones get finnicky fast, even with no headwind (though I did recently get a champ fb for headwind situations). In fact I have lost my past two star wraiths because they just kept drifting right and never came back, landing...

I just lost my Wraith, and I am going to buy a new one, but I'm thinking of switching it up a bit. I'd like some input from people who know what they're talking about. So here's the deal: I usually throw 168-169 drivers in star plastic. The wraiths (for me) tend to fly stable brand new, and...

WilBRAham. Crane hill is a very cool course, but I learned to play there so I am more than a little biased. It is still a work in progress, but it is nearing completion: beautiful rubber teepads on all holes, two sets of baskets on #1 and #16, and alternate pin positions on almost all holes...

Good grammar is the fastest path to success.

I find the CD to be a VERY useful driver at all stages of wear. Fresh, the thing is pretty stable, and I find it great for medium-length drives that fade hard. Seasoned, my CDs are straight as hell, and even get longer as they get more beat. Adjust your release angle and they are great for...

Dimples and nicks increase the surface area of a disc (or any object, for that matter). Unless you chop the disc in half and throw away one of the halves.

I was just about to say the same thing. I have seen a lot of good players throw for big distance, but I have never heard that "crack" so many people talk about on these forums. I'm convinced that the distance a disc flies is purely a function of its speed at the time of release, all else being...

^Thank you! Very interesting. Do you know of any instructional videos explaining this technique?

Has anybody else noticed how Dave Feldberg swings his left arm back during the reachback on his drives, so that it is parallel to his throwing arm? He then drives his left arm through the swing for the cleanest follow-through I have ever seen. From what I've seen, most players - including top...

I have a question regarding the amount of wrist curl one should have when throwing a backhand anny shot. When throwing hyzers, straight shots, hyzer-flips, or for distance, I keep my wrist straight - not locked, but relaxed and not really doing anything as I pull the disc across my chest. My...

Why do people prefer flat discs versus domed ones? I bought a Z wasp because I couldn't find a champ rancho Roc (my favorite mid). Like most discraft mids, the wasp is flat as a pancake, and I find that this really kills the glide. The thing throws like a brick. My KC roc has much more...

I think my Eagle X is slower than my Leopard. Both are champion plastic, eagle is 170g, Leopard is 169. In field practice, I am consistently getting my Leopard out 15' + farther than the Eagle (I'm getting them both to +/-300'). Not only that, but the flight of my leopard simply looks faster...

Putting league. Depending on how big the shop is, you could have a regular putting league either in our around your shop. If you're located up north, this could be a cool substitute to weekly dubs leagues during the winter months. There's lots of ways to do it; organize it like HORSE, match...
