    Review by earth2sean in course Kress Creek Farms

    3.50 star(s) Sunny Day Real Estate Good use of terrain and limited trees as well as a good variation between long and short holes. It was fun to air it out with little abandon on some of the more wide-open holes, as well as thread the needle in a tight row of trees. A bit marshy on one of the mid-teen...

    Learning about rollers and other disc golf techniques

    I just picked up a 193g Condor for the very purpose of beginning to master the roller. It's not my main focus right now by any stretch of the imagination, but starting to get a feel for the thumb, fh, and bh rollers just seems like an essential part of a well-rounded game. No one else...

    Review by earth2sean in course Highland Park

    4.00 star(s) Wet and Wild A very challenging course with lots of length variation and plenty of trees to punish a poor line or errant throw. A lot of the pin placements will really punish you if you push the disc past the pin. It can be an exercise in masochism if you're new to the game (like me!) and...

    Rocs and Aviars for testing form

    I should also mention that I really wasn't elevating the disc much. I think that's something else to work on to add distance, but, one step at a time.

    Rocs and Aviars for testing form

    Ok, so I feel like I might have had a breakthrough today. I was finally able to get a lot of drives straight and without OAT. Driving a 170g DX Roc from a stand-still, I was able to get my drives from 250'-270' (estimated based on hole length) with consistency, nice and straight. This is good...

    Review by earth2sean in course Jericho Lake

    3.00 star(s) GTG 2 Jericho For a beginner like me, this course offers some good challenges and dangerous enough hazards to force prudent shot selection and punish recklessness. There are varying lengths, starting out with some relatively short holes, then stretching out a little bit. Hole 10 has a cool...

    Review by earth2sean in course Eagle Ridge/Civic Center

    4.00 star(s) Oswego Disc Monster This course has lots of variety when it comes to shot selection, as well as balancing between wooded and open holes. This course will eat your discs if you are not an accurate thrower. To some, that provides incentive away from risk-taking, but for others, it just means...

    Review by earth2sean in course Knoch Knolls Park - Old Layout

    2.00 star(s) Home Field Lots of elevation change, plenty of trees and brush to punish inaccurate throws. not much length to really let things air out. Gets SUPER crowded at times. When there are kids soccer games going on, the bored siblings will often get in the way on hole 1. If there's no one else on...

    Review by earth2sean in course Madison Meadow Park

    3.00 star(s) Turkey Day Throw Variety of hole length is a nice feature of this course. For a newb like me, this allows for a good variety of distances to both instill confidence as well as sober myself. The tee boxes are concrete and the signage is more than adequate, often times for holes where the next...

    Rocs and Aviars for testing form

    i apologize, i'm very much a newb so i'm still trying to understand some of the terminology involved. i have a pretty good grasp of oat i think, but the overstable/understable thing is still kind of confusing to me. over on disc golf review, they define an understable disc as being one that...

    Rocs and Aviars for testing form

    I thought a strong pull to the right for a RHBH thrower with, say, an aviar, could mean that the person is throwing the disc too hard because it has low resistance to high-speed turn. Am I wrong?
