I've still been doing tech disc sessions off and on. Tonight I was revisiting the fun bonopane grip. Trying to decide how much it was limiting me. And after an hour of playing around... I decided it's really not limiting me much if any. I've developed enough calluses and grip strength on my...

More wrist curl definitely helps me keep my spin up. I've got some lingering foot injuries, so I've been prioritizing keeping my BH spin advantage ratio at least at 50%. Getting more distance via more spin does seem to be easier on my body. I personally do a bit better not holding the wrist...

I'm not setup to do screenshots, but it seems like Mason Ford does something close to F1P3. His grip seems unique when viewed on Jomez this season. And his disc flights all seem very neutral.

The other difference between the River and FD is diameter. The River is one of the few popular drivers that is larger than the minimum diameter. I imagine that plays into the flight shape as well. Discraft also has many drivers at larger than minimum diameter (stalker, passion, mantis...

If you want to shop online, I recommend OTBDiscs. They post a dome rating for each disc. And yes, Comet domes are variable. Looking across their inventory, I'd say high weight Z is still domiest. And the UV MJ ones are mostly reasonable as well. You don't get a rating for the elusive...

Finally got some good field work with those craves. Took a spread of craves and neutral teebirds to the field. And damned if those teebirds didn't go further and easier. The craves were perfectly reasonable, but they just felt like more work. I mean, I have one thrashed crave that never...

Nothing too crazy or fancy. More nose up will increase stability of the flight. So it'll go a bit shorter and fade more. More nose down will be more prone to drifting right (for RHBH), and tend to travel farther overall. And then mix that with hyzer angle. So an anhyzer throw focusing on...

Had a flukey warm day yesterday. Played the monster 27 hole wooded course nearby. Got a couple dozen birdies, and half of those were comet shots. Whiffed one ~15' birdie putt off a comet drive. I parked the next hole with the same comet, so I'm assuming the disc was just feeling bad for me...

I know you just asked about comet dome in the basic comet thread. If you're interested in trying some flatter comets, I have two 169 Z and one 177 Big Z. Happy to trade for the crave and sidewinder.

So, most Z comets have a modest dome. You can find the occasional flatter one, and those are usually flipper in my experience. I was placing an online order last month, and the retailed had a couple Z Comets in the high 160s. That's kinda rare, and they were cheap, so I bought them. It...

Well, it's been a few years. Worked through a few injuries since then. Got a TechDisc over the holidays. Learned I was airbouncing all my drives. Spent a few weeks getting nose and launch angle fixed. Have a good spin rate (relative to speed). Finally convinced myself it was time to get...

Surprising amount of snow here in Indiana at the moment. Got a bit of time in the basement with the Tech Disc instead. Mostly was focused on trying to do some recordings to post over in the form review channel. Did check the stats and they stayed almost constant from a week ago (I wasn't...

So funny enough, back when I was only a super casual player, all my approaches were Wizard flicks, and I was pretty deadly with them. I did them all "serving the pizza" with my palm to the sky. The reduced speed made them very controllable. Most would be half runs. I still try Wizard hyzer...

I'm currently settled in with Comets. I was a Buzzz fella for years, but that was mostly due to me muscling the disc and getting speed instead of spin. (Buzzzes fly fine with more speed and less spin; hell they go pretty far that way.) Mako3s and Fuses are pretty prevalent in the used bin...

I'm pretty darn sure the creature is the same mold as the lobster and the mana. I own a creature and I've felt a lobster. I didn't make the above chart. And I understand why the MVP folks wouldn't yell from the mountains to come get a cheap lobster. (Because they're licensing the molds out...
