There is an app in development right now, simply called "Disc Golf App" as a working title. I found its page on Facebook, and am following it with great interest. It does everything you are asking about, and more. It will have maps of most disc golf courses in the US, as well as markers for...

Thanks, I think they turned out pretty good too! And you're correct. 1 DX Aviar, 1 Champion Aviar, and 1 Soft Magnet. Really like the Soft Magnet, but only for shots less than 30 feet. I'll use the Aviars for any approach shot farther out than that. Oh, I can get it in the bag, but with...

Been a while since I laid out all of my discs... So I had to do just that & participate in this thread. First, my Fade Tourney bag with a few stragglers that wouldn't fit... Next up, bag with discs laid out... And finally, an overview of all the discs. And most of these do get...

Well, I'm a long time lurker on these forums, but after reading about this, I just had to join up & post! I live in North Fort Worth, but I would certainly be willing to make the drive out to the Dallas area to try and learn your snap method. I've started taking my form seriously, and have...

Warmest regards to his family and friends. It does seem like a terrible loss to lose someone that considerate of others. The sport needs more people of this nature, and hopefully this thread will inspire others to emulate what he had done for the sport. RIP & here's to nothing but aces in heaven!

I'd have to agree with the majority here that Cubby's ace count is somehow manipulated. I'll also agree that an "Ace" is when you step up to the tee box, and get it in the chains on your first, and only your first, throw. Anything else is just practice, and even though it may be a hole in one...

Been a while since I replied to my own topic, so shame on me... So I realized I made a mistake in my earlier posts about which disc I was throwing. It was not a Roadrunner, but in fact a Sidewinder. The speed of the disc is the same, but the stability (-4 vs -3) was different. In the mean...

Thank you all for your input on this topic. It would seem that there isn't a general consensus about how to properly throw these shots, at least for the hyzer-flip. The reason why I was asking if OAT had anything to do with the throw was because of the article Blake_T posted on...

But when you say you throw with anny, do you mean just an anhyzer angle, or with an anhyzer reach back, pull through and follow through? This is how I've been throwing my hyzer flip shots, just holding the disc at a hyzer angle and reaching back, pulling through and following through flat and...

So if I understand you, using a naturally understable disc won't achieve the same flight path? It seems to me that an overstable disc that is beat enough to be understable would have a similar (though not exactly the same) flight path as an understable disc. Is this incorrect? Can you not...

Okay, I'm trying to understand how to throw these shots, but have a few questions about the varied results I get. Hopefully you guys & gals will be able to help me out with these problems. Hyzer-flip: As I understand it, a hyzer-flip consists of throwing an understable disc with a hyzer angle...

PM sent! :) Thank you for your reply & offer to help!

First off, I'm not sure if this should be in the technique section or the courses section, so Mod's if this seems out of place, feel free to move it as you see fit. Now on to my post... I started playing disc golf about 4 years ago, but only stuck with it for about a year and a half. I was...

Snap it is then! I have also been practicing the Dan Beato video, and it has helped a lot. I can get a snap some times, but never consistently. I have been working on my form a lot for the past 2 1/2 weeks, but I am making slow progress. Guess that's the way it works though. :rolleyes: 2nd...

Wow! That's a lot of replies in a little over 12 hours time! There are some great tips in here that I would not have thought of on my own. I do like measuring by stride, and I'll have to go to a football field to accurately measure mine. Or I could just take out the tape measurer and see...
