    Video clips by jr, lcgm8, mafa and others

    I've tried myself at filming Final 9 as well. Berlin Open with Simon Lizotte and Avery Jenkins. Unfortunately I don't have a new camera, the one I did it with is 8 years old and wasn't expensive at that time...anyway, enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIM909sseUo

    Driving Form Critique for Accuracy

    Right Shank looks to me what I am doing myself sometimes. I have the same thing and when I shank it right, I just threw it out of my shoulders too much. You need to create seperation from your hips and shoulders, so your hips turn first, and then come the shoulders. On your shank throw, the...

    Inertia - threw one a bit today

    It's pretty pretty flippy. I don't want to know how understable the understable DD from MVP will be. I'm not that extreme distance thrower (430-450') and it just turns like heck for me. I have to release it on at least 45° hyzer to get a nice flight out of it. I also don't use it for any feel...

    disc hooking

    Either you're slowing down at the release point, which means you're accelerating too fast and too quick and can't create snap which either leaves the disc in your hand or lets it slip out way early. Or you just have your wrist angled in a wrong way during release. I'll have to take my favorite...

    Legal Max Weights?

    Copied this from DGCR: Meaning Midranges may be heavier than drivers as they have a larger diameter. While using Max weight Drivers means 175 g, Max weight for Mids depends on their Diameter. Plus, I think I read that somewhere on here, there is some kind of production tolerance which is +/-...

    Disc recommendations for Newbie & Son

    I like MVP a lot so I'll reccomend some MVP stuff. Basically every brand has discs you will like, but I would go with the MVP Tangent for a Midrange, an Anode as a Putter and maybe an Amp as a Driver for you. Take weights around 170-172 maybe. For your son there should be lighter Tangents out...

    The Typical Plateau

    Well if you have been lurking around forums then you will know that JR is probably the expert :) I will tell you my thoughts though, maybe it helps you, sometimes you just need to have a feeling that you repeat on every throw instead of getting too technical. Concerning consistency....: It...

    I could use some help...

    As winter comes I'm getting kind of bored...I am willing to practice a lot during the winter, especially some Indoor drills or some changes to my form that I don't have to do outside with throwing discs. I will have the chance to be in a gym a couple of times this winter and throw my vibram...

    Needing Some Advice

    You don't HAVE TO, but it's definately the easier and more consinstent way for left curves. A lot of players for example don't have a forehand - me included. I can throw it 250' (backhand around 400') straight with fade at the end. It's also good for escape shots with no run up or shorter...

    Needing Some Advice

    A Forehand that has to go left will always be more difficult than a backhand that is fading out. Due to the spin direction of the disc (counter- or clockwise) it will fade to the right with a FH and left with a BH. when you want a FH to go left you need to utilize the Turn of a disc. When it is...

    Lucky and incredible throws

    I'd like to start a thread where everyone can post lucky or amazing throws he caught on tape. Not just aces and stuff, but for example an ace after a tree kick, or something like my throw last weekend (Throw of my life so far :D :D :D ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17yuuwld-UI As the...

    I know this sounds blasphemous

    I don't have much experience with either one, I don't like beaded discs. But from what I've thrown the roc3 has just a tiny little bit less HSS.

    Is there demand for more videos from lcgm8?

    I know, I have basically watched all of your videos. Starting with Finnish Dubs - when I had just started playing - when I was bored at my university lessons, and now of course all the stuff that is on Spin TV :) About the commentary guy: I know it's not the DD guys, but it's the ones that are...

    Is there demand for more videos from lcgm8?

    I have to go with the opinion of the others. Just the very best footage out there! Plus, I really really love the cooperation with the DynamicDiscs guys. Definately keep it up and f*** those haters, they're just jealous because they couldn't even film the disc when it's flying! Still, I'd like...
