My Altra Lonepeak 7s only lasted about 5 or 6 rounds and the tread was peeling off.

Your videos are all private, so we can't see them. I highly recommend Overthrow Disc golf's playlist on Forming the Forehand. Excellent resource. I played baseball for 10 years in my younger days, and I'm currently forehand dominant after about 2.5 years of playing. I've found that the...

I don't think extension is nearly as important as flexion. You absolutely want to resist extension before the hit, regardless of whether you pre-cock the wrist (flexion), or allow it to happen naturally as described by @sidewinder22 and the 'bounce'. Josh from Overthrow talked about that and...

Fixed it for ya.

Similar flights, but different hand feel. Both great options for that next step up from a Hex.

Pretty good haul. Got a Discin' Disciples hoodie, whale sac, and bag patch from my mom. Got a Tripod, Net, and Proton Atom from my in-laws. Ript Revenge from my wife and kids.

There are some (I think @sidewinder22 maybe?) who can get away with a bit of space between the disc and the webbing. I suspect he probably has enough strength in his fingers to keep the disc secure. But if you're like the other 99% of us, you're going to need to wedge it back there in order to...

Go check out this series. Best start to finish explanation of forehand mechanics that I've seen. I throw around 330' accurate, 350-380 less accurately, and I can push over 400 on a good day. 10 years of baseball in my youth, so my body was already sort of built for forehand, but I still had...

I still haven't tried that yet. Another option to add to the list.

Yeah, I managed to find one of the R2 Atoms from the starter sets being sold all by its lonesome. It's nice and straight. Didn't get one of the Fissions in my Gyropalooza box, but I have a friend who is waiting on his box who's willing to trade me if he gets one.

All the time. It's part of what makes it fun for me. My bag stays pretty consistent for sanctioned rounds other than stable and understable mids and putters. Still trying to figure out what I like there. But I often do fun rounds with a single manufacturer bag, or a neglected bag with only...

Atoms. You don't see many MVP team members using them, but I actually know quite a few AMs and low level Pros around here that use them. It's a great option if you like a straight shallow putter.

If you're stuck on anhyzer releases and your distance is maxing out at 250, then you don't need more than a 9 speed. The faster you go the harder it becomes to control the nose angle, and on an anhyzer flex, the more likely you are to burn them into the dirt. I haven't thrown the 23 Sexton...

It depends. Do you want something that will give you more fade with your current form, or are you willing to work on your form to use a bit less anny? I'll also share a secret I've rarely heard anyone talk about. If you want a disc to get further right on a forehand (without a skip shot), you...

I have two major problems with him. First is the squish the bug thing. I played baseball for 10 years, so I'm confident that move robs power. I also asked him in the comments section to comment on that, and his answer was basically "It's not squishing the bug because I say it's not." My...
