While practicing my driving technique, I pulled my left hamstring muscle. As a newbie, I am sure that my driving technique is far from smooth & fluid. My suspicion is that the hamstring was pulled while rotating my hips. Here is where you guys might be able to help me. I am practicing my...

Judging by accuracy & consistency, my practice has been going well. Driving distance is something I am reserving for the future. However, I have come to appreciate how footwork, body rotation, arm position, grip & follow-through all have to coordinate through timing in order to create power...

As a beginner player, one of my basic practice objectives is to throw the disc flat & straight. With a RHBH throw, I have noticed that the Mako3 discs that I just started driving with tend to fade to the left toward the end of the flight. Is this a characteristic of the disc or inherent in a...

Thank you for the recommendation. Much appreciated.

Interestingly, I have a Shark. Don't have anything to compare it too (yet). But that will change soon. Thank you.

Thank you, guys, for your thoughts. As I am sure that you know, there is a wealth of information on throwing technique available online. However, as with any source of information, one has to sift through the sometimes overwhelming heap of advice in order to extract solid information. But. most...

itsRudy: Thanks for your thoughts. In fact, several days ago I ordered a few Makos from the Innova factory store. Although I am only throwing consistently under 200', I can finally notice the performance difference when throwing putters vs. mids. On a somewhat unrelated note, let share a few...

Sound advice. Very much appreciated!

Thank you for taking the time to clarify. Different weight choices certainly makes sense under different "ambient" conditions. Sounds like I really can't go wrong with either the Mako3 or the Buzz.

On question I failed to ask: What disc weight for drivers & mids would you recommend for beginners? Also, I am curious about the rational behind your recommendations? Thank you.

Excellent info. I will check it out. Thanks.

Thank you. Jupiterboy ---especially for the tip on the Innova factory store. Until I get more experience under my belt, I prefer not to spend s fortune on discs.

You guys have certainly given me some options. As with other activities, it can be difficult to separate out our personal preferences & past experiences -- which, BTW, can be valuable for a newbie like me. Of course, the bottom line will be which discs feel right & work for me. However, until I...

Thank you for the info. You recommended the Discraft Comet as a midrange choice. I noticed that there are several models of Comets. Any recommendation here?

“Stable” might have been a poor word choice. I just need to concentrate on straight consistent throws. At this stage I have neither the skills nor experience to take advantage of the nuances of many of the available discs. Thank you for your explanation & recommendations.
