    Best Michigan Area?

    I gotta throw in Metro Detroit area as well. The courses are somewhat spread out, but for a good weekend trip you can hit up Hudson Mills, Kensington, Stony Creek and Addison Oaks. It doesn't get any better then the west coast courses though. You can play a stretch of courses from Grand...

    Senior disc golf question

    A few years ago I tore my rotator cuff in my off hand. I couldn't throw for a few months. Just the force of rotating through during the throw was enough to cause severe pain. I don't know what happened in her off hand, but it very well may cause pain.

    How high do you throw when you are going for max distance?

    Assuming you don't have trees to worry, about how high is ideal for your max distance throws? I have realized lately that when I throw for max distance, I can't get over the "keeping it low" training that I have embedded into my head. Most the courses I play are pretty wooded, so anything you...

    Which discs for which distances?

    So many variables go into that, there really is no set guide for this. Best bet, take a putter out to a field and see how far you can throw it on a normal shot, throw it about 15' off the ground dead straight and see how far it goes. From there, tweak it by giving more height and less height...

    Δ in Altitude/Temp/Humidity Make Discs Fly _____ ?

    Wouldn't it work both ways though Mark? If the people who play their whole lives in high elevation have to go to a low elevation to play, they would have to relearn their entire bag too. I suppose it's only fair that they cycle the location so everyone gets screwed equally.

    Δ in Altitude/Temp/Humidity Make Discs Fly _____ ?

    Luma, it's counter intuitive but he is correct. water vapors are actually lighter than dry air molecules. Hydrogen is much lighter than everything else in air. So say a dry air is composed 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen (Just a ballpark, there's many other chemicals involved.) once you start...

    The Disc Manufacturing Process

    Has anyone tried using a 3D printer to make a few discs and see how they work? I know they aren't cheap, however I believe for someone looking to develop a disc, it would be cheaper to run a few samples in a 3D printer and see how they feel. I don't know exactly what plastic resin most...

    The Unwritten Rules of Doubles

    The Unwritten Rules of Doubles

    I've shot an -11 at Kensington and still have never birdied 18... that is an impressive feat all on it's own. I can say I've only played about 4-5 random dubs, and never cashed. I've had players better than me, and players worse than me. When I was the better one, I cracked under the...

    Vibram Fivefingers

    I have a pair of the KSO treksports and I wore them for the entire Michigan season playing 4-5 rounds a week and can see no defects in the shoes. I imagine i probably walked about 1000 miles in them and my course has cement tees, so I was throwing on them a lot. As for waterproofing them, I...

    Concept: The physics trick of the rail and roller coasters

    I always get compliments on how effortless my throws look, and it all started when I really slowed my arm speed down and instead focused on the acceleration during the last few inches of the throw. It almost looks like I'm just casually walking up to do a walk through when I throw and sometimes...

    Moving from understable to overstable

    I am kind of in the same range as you right now. I can hit about 350-400 with Blizzard discs, and about 350 with a Flash and Sword. I recently picked up a Lattitude 64 Saint, and I think this could fit the roll you are looking for. For me at about 350-400', It flies a lot like a roadrunner...

    Non tee box shots

    Yes, I know the rules state "Supporting Member" have you ever had to throw a shot from your head? BEsides the rare shot from the knees, it's just much more simple to explain it using layman terms and say feet. I guess I did explain the follow through on the putt a bit wrong though. I meant it...

    Non tee box shots

    So you essentially have 3 category of shots. 1. Initial Drive: You have to be in the designated tee-area when you release the disc. You can be anywhere in the box as long as you release the disc in the area. You can follow through and end up off the pad when you are done. 2...

    Throwing Understable Hyzer

    Like Curt said, you need to give out a lot more information for anyone to help. If you can only throw a driver 200-300', you aren't going to be able to hyzer flip anything. If you are trying to hyzer flip a brand new disc, you might need to throw harder until it gets broken in. I can throw a...
