    Frustration can’t get over 250ft max 327

    Everything I have studied says the order is hips/shoulder/elbow/hand. To me, your hips, shoulders, and arm all seem to fire simultaneously, but I am behind you in skill level. I know, done correctly, the timing between firing is fractions of a second, so likely I just can’t see it. If it were...

    Help me get new hyzer crush drivers

    Agree Champ Sidewinder can be OS - not even close to its US numbers. I had one - traded it in. Me, my son, and a friend that throws faster than us all tried it - total meat hook. Hard left every time. I kept trying it every time I got throwing a bit faster/better - it never improved. It...

    Help me get new hyzer crush drivers

    What distance are you throwing? Probably more than my 250-290’, but for me, and I don’t do much hyzer because I totally lack consistency with it, but I found a beat in (used) light weight King Air flips up and bombs pretty far pretty easily. Weird that the numbers make it look very over...

    Innova Factory Store freebie Friday

    If I want the freebie in a specific weight, I go check the weights they show for that particular F2, and assume what they show is what is available if I request a specific weight. Not 100%, but every time I did it so far, I got my weight (if it showed in inventory). Also, recently requested...

    How did you find disc golf? What does it mean to you now? Where do you see it going?

    My sons and I used to hike trails at Loyce Harpe Park. My older son moved away in the Navy, but my younger son and I stumbled across Hidden Oaks, I said do you want to try “frisbee golf”, he said sure, so I bought two regular frisbees. First time we played, we figured out they weren’t the...

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Part VI)

    My plan all along was to find a favorite putter, then get ten of it. But, settling on a favorite has been much harder than I expected. I got up to 6 Judges when I found a Soft Magnet I liked much better. Got 2 of them, then 3 Pures. Next was about 7 Fierces. Currently, I am wavering between...

    Breaking a bad habit: Letting go of the disc while driving

    Good video on the topic. Insightful.

    Breaking a bad habit: Letting go of the disc while driving

    I am no expert - 1 year playing this month, and I share your pain. I actually just started working on this, and I think I keep my grip (get it to rip out) about 10% of the time. Ugh. But, if you are up to 50%, you are well on your way. I think if you just keep focusing on it, and seeing the...

    Best way beginners can gain distance?

    FYI, I have been playing one year this month, and normal max distance is 250’, a rare one to 275’, and very rare maybe 290’ (and likely somewhat right of my target). With two recent lessons with a local coach, I am working on many changes, and hopefully getting them cemented will get me more...

    Best way beginners can gain distance?

    SW responding to this somewhat dated thread was the nudge I needed to throw a hammer some. I had two old hammers, but my girlfriend ‘borrowed’ one, and I didn’t want to throw my good one, so I made due with one hammer. First thing I learned helped with retrieving after every throw - they don’t...

    Best way beginners can gain distance?

    I have considered throwing regular hammers, but somehow never get around to it.

    Innova Factory Store freebie Friday

    I asked for all four of my discs (all F2s) to get the bunny stamp, and Thank You Innova, they did it for me! Very happy! Bunny, Santa, Halloween, etc., so much nicer to look at than just F2, especially since I have a ton of F2s. I got my order today, had about 20 minutes to test the 4 discs...

    Old Farts Only 40+ (no kids allowed)

    I am 55 and playing 1 year. My experience was, when I was maybe throwing legit 5-7 speed, my best distance bomber was 139 gram Terns (12 speed), at about 225’. Now I am throwing maybe 8-9 speed legit, and my best distance bombers are 150 gram Katanas and 150 gram Terns, at 250’ consistent...

    Old Farts Only 40+ (no kids allowed)

    I am 55 years old, playing one year this month, and so far max out distance about 250-275’, with maybe a very rare one longer than that, that was probably slightly grip locked and went too far right. I like about 150 gram Katanas and 150 gram Terns as my best ‘easy distance’ discs. I do have...

    Old Farts Only 40+ (no kids allowed)

    As a 55 year old, wondering, what age are you that this is happening? I have been playing one year, so still improving, but I know that won’t last forever.
