I'm just starting to try these drills out and its helping a ton. Could someone please clarify for me: I have stopped doing run-ups and with a smooth clean release I can throw out to about 200-250 with my cheetah. I'm not hitting at all yet but I am ripping the disc out consistently. If I try to...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. All this isn't macho enough for real disc golfers. Take it or leave it, I'm not here to debate. I'm just expressing my personal experience and I can say for myself that the road less travelled is worth it. When all you self-centered sorts come to the point in life when...

Sure, I like playing by myself sometimes too but face it, without this forum and other friends to talk to about the rounds, they would turn dull and pointless. Consider again that you're the last person on earth. Would disc golf still be a lifelong sport? No, at that point its a survival...

:) Hah, just me and my scoffers. Oh well. If we are an ignorant, unhappy people seeking life in the very things that destroy us then perhaps we should say so be it.

Everything is a choice

Notice I don't propose that you can't have both or a mixture of them, but if you must choose one which do you really want? And if you are sacrificing one or the other which one do you weigh more valuable?

I've been giving some thought lately to why I play disc golf; why I do anything for that matter but disc golf is one of my favorite pass-times so it comes to mind above other things. I'm going to avoid my love of physics, being outdoors, and doing something well as excuses for playing this game...

Sounds like you're about to the point that I'm at then and maybe a little further. I just drove a 320 pin at my local course and that was my longest yet. I like the stats that the disc nation website posts for the discs. Each one has an approximate stability and range for the pro, amateur, and...

As a fellow new player I'm in a similar situation except that I've seen the benefits now of moving away from using the drivers as a crutch on the short range shots. The funny thing about disc golf discs is that we fix in our minds that drivers go farther than putters and we let ourselves develop...

Yep, that thread helps a lot, thanks. I think I can hash it out on my own from here. Thanks for the responses :)

So I got out and threw a round yesterday. I am happy to say I posted my best score and I feel like I'm understanding more about why my disc is flying the way it is. I played a very tight, short technical course so I didn't get to stretch any shots out but I did find some further insight into my...

Hello all. I'm new here but have been reading for a while. Also a relatively new player. I just achieved a benchmark distance this week with a 320' throw with a beat up DX wraith which I was proud of but in the process I learned something besides a new distance. I've had the feeling for a...

4.00 star(s) Play during the summer A quaint course that was a lot of fun if just for the atmosphere of a small college campus. Granted I did play during the summer so foot and car traffic was all but absent. A fun course with a variety of holes. As so many have mentioned, the hole markers were difficult to...
