    Questions about Right-pec drill

    Yeah I have deffinetely started to integrate your version of the drill more. Helps because it feels more like my actual throw rather than a drill I'll have to incorporate into my throw. HeavyDisc has helped a ton!

    [Recommend] Advice for my first distance driver?

    My problem with the Tern suggestion is I'm guessing I could throw a speed 9 just as far because my power isn't huge. From speed 7 to 12 is a huge jump. Good to know about the thunderbird though. Leaning towards the valk

    Questions about Right-pec drill

    Should I be dragging/kicking back my left foot before my arm begins to accelerate? It definitely feels more natural to kick back and accelerate at the same time but wanted to make sure thats not wrong? Worried that will lead to strong-arming? Also I see a large distance increase when I add a...

    [Question] Disc molds most affected by plastic type

    Thought it would be interesting to start a discussion about the discs most affected in flight by different plastics(namely dx vs. champion, pro d vs. Z, etc.......)For me the leopard is a totally different disc with different plastics. A dx leopard is pretty dang flippy right from the start but...

    Intentionally breaking in a disc

    I hammered my champion leapord into my cement basement floor literally as hard as I could a good 50-100 times. No damage, just a perfectly tuned leopard in like 15 minutes!

    Reach back fixing griplock?

    I have been vastly improving in the last few weeks with my backhand thanks to these forums and the HeavyDisc blog. My average drive has increased from about 280 to 310 and my max drive from 300 to 330. I definitely think i will break 350 within the next couple months. As i have slowed my...

    [Question] Does a "beat" disc have more glide?

    Yeah I'm planning on picking up a champ banshee for fighting wind/big hyzers. I bought it in dx to try it out and I think the dx will still have a place as a straight driver.

    [Question] Does a "beat" disc have more glide?

    As a disc beats in how are the innova numbers affected? I know that it loses high speed stability, does it also lose low speed stability and have more glide? For instance I bought a dx banshee a couple weeks ago. Lets just say i have beat it in faster than I had planned and it is now at the...

    Missed ace commiseration thread

    I've had three chain outs on the same hole. #11 at plymouth creek in Minnesota. short forehand hyzer right to the hole. So tired of metal, hungry for an ace!

    [Recommend] First overstable fairway driver?

    Hi, I've been using a star TL and champion leopard(weight 169ish) as my main drivers and I'm looking to purchase my first overstable driver. This will be a dedicated hyzer/ mild wind fighting disc. My throw tops out at 275-300. I'm leaning between a banshee or a heavy champion tee bird. Advice...

    Thumber and Tomahawk help?

    I have very limited experience with overhead shots but they have proved useful for extremely specific flight patterns. one thing i've noticed is that I have no problem throwing thumbers(under 150 ft. that is) however when I try to throw a tomohawk with the same disc I can not get it to fully...

    Forehand with Buzzz?

    okay, I'll pay closer attention to my form. Probably spend some time in the field as well.

    Forehand with Buzzz?

    I have had trouble recently where i am turning my Elite Z buzz over easily when throwing side arm. it is a relatively new buzz, so wear on the disc is not a factor. It flips after flying a little ways (not right out of my hands)which leads me to believe its the disc and not my form. Is this a...
