So I went out trying to fix this and I'm still having issues. Instead of shifting my weight, I think I'm focusing on accelerating the disc too much. The vids were helpful, but I'm not sure how to use my rear foot to leverage my weight into the plant. Hope that makes sense.

I noticed that about my left leg as well. Watching that video of McBeth, Feldberg, Koling, and Schusterick throwing in slow mo, all have that left knee bent. I think it's transferring their weight from the back of the body into the plant, but I'm not sure. I know I'm doing something wrong with...

Vid is below, here's a little information. I'm getting consistent accurate throws up to about 350 right now. In the vid I'm not throwing a power line as much as a controlled line. Both discs came out straight and went about 325-350. When I try to really accelerate at the end I do get a bit more...

Being from the LV, I have to say that the latest disc golf monthly had me in tears laughing. There we all were shanking every drive and hitting every tree. I really found it to be wonderful and I'm not casting aspersions on anyone. Good times at South Mountain.

This is a question that I think disc golfers are divided on so I'm going to posit it here. On any given course, should every hole have a good chance for a birdie? A new course popped up in my area which I'll link to at the bottom so you get a better idea of what I'm talking about. Basically...

Thanks for the bump man. I did slack off for a bit, but I started posting a lot more recently. Lyme Disease and life have kept me from posting but I have a lot to write in the next few weeks.

I went out today and altered my grip according to what people suggested. Nothing changed. I still just ripped every drive to the right and made a fool of myself. Of the 18 holes I played, I hit the first tree on the right 7 times. I think it might be time to find a new hobby

As of now, Nockamixon has dubs on Wednesdays and Sellersville is Monday nights. You should check out the Lehigh Valley Disc Club Facebook page. I don't know if you're part of the LVDC, but we have doubles every night of the week at different courses in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas. PM...

Below are 3 pics of my grip. I'm the guy that loves throwing everything 10-15 feet right. A video is forthcoming, but for now I'm wondering how my grip looks. Any suggestions? http://imgur.com/a/T9vux P.S. That's a Star Katana, but I don't throw it. My main drivers are: Leopards, Teebirds, and...

My 2 under round seems to be a fluke. I went out today and was throwing everything to the right again. Aiming didn't work. I tried switching my positon on the pad and that did nothing. I'm frustrated as all hell. I played 36 holes and I'd say well over half my drives went 10-30 feet right. I...

So I have a mental disorder that makes any tournament very unpredictable. I haven't had to DNF yet because of this problem but if I did, the idea of being penalized because I'm sick is ridiculous. No amount of suspension time is going to let me heal. I struggle enough to keep up with other...

So I went out today and focused on correcting this issue. The very first thing I tried was actually aiming at something and visualizing my shot. I picked a tree or branch or bush and would think something like, "Throw at this branch on a hyzer line X amount of feet above the target with X disc"...

I should add that the problem is horribly exaggerated from a standstill. On standstill shots, I often yank a 50 foot approach so far right that I'm pin high 30 feet right of the basket. I ended up breaking down and buying a zone just for this problem and I still manage to yank it far enough...

I definitely will post a vid and grip shot. I never thought about my grip. I just picked a generic power grip and went with it. I'm not sure where my thumb should be on the top of the disc. I have it very close to the edge of the disc. One of the odd side problems to this is that all the locals...

I've been working like hell on my form for over a year now (field practice, drills, etc...). I've gotten to the point where I can consistently throw my mids 300+ my fairways to around 350+ and I don't really throw drivers, but when I do they get to around 375. The one thing I cannot stop doing...
