    Pop on your putt

    If you can figure out an actual way to help the yips (which I do believe are related but not always the same for each person) you have a gold mine. Its definitely a disconnect between brain and hand but the how and why is just crazy. For me? I think it has a lot to do with adrenalin shakes...

    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    First part is part of what sold me on SW here years ago. Yes he's looking at some ideals when evaluating videos people submit but will also look to compare with a pro with good form that has a similar body type and movement as the person asking for critique. Not showing a video of Eagle...

    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    Thats the second time I've actually clicked on one of his videos. I didn't make it very far. "I'm the only one you will find teaching this on the internet" Yes, that is a red flag... I don't care what it is you are teaching. Prior to my own self journey on DG form I had done a lot of...

    [Innova] Fill three 7 speed slots with Innova only, what do you choose to be well-rounded?

    I can't not put at least 5 Innova made 7 speeds in my bag. Star Teebird is my absolute go-to get right when I need to throw it disc. OS to US if I picked 3: Champ Eagle X Start TB Seasoned Pro TB I love all of them and my only issue is that I can never find the time to thow some, like the...

    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    Just as a complete aside the mention of Ben Johnson and Usain Bolt and different kinds of races. Johnson far right. I couldn't find it quickly but I thought I had seen something long ago Johnson had one of the fastest ever recorded reaction times.

    SF Bay area

    I"m not sure how many bay area people frequent the forums. I'm North Bay so don't actually have a lot of experience with CalTrain and Bart. I also haven't played any of the courses you might be able to get to other than GGP. I know Hellyer has a pretty good reputation and following. I think...

    Starting from scratch.

    Same, same same. I was going back through some of the film I have of myself and couldn't actually find any good mechanics. I know I have developed them at time, but I don't actually film myself when I'm throwing well. I have the bad habit of only filming when things aren't working and im...

    Matt Bell counting rotations on the putt

    My brain is the biggest issue in my putt, and this has helped me a ton immediately, as something for me to focus on. Matt Bell has always been known as a phenomenal putter so yeah if it works it works.

    HOD 4/17/2024: Mendocino High School Hole #8 Mendocino, CA

    Wholly cow I had no idea they had baskets there as far back as 2011. I knew it was an object course in the late 80s. Tried to play with basic frisbees after a soccer game and it blew away never to be found. This is probably a Bobcat BH to under the basket for an uphill putt. This should be...

    Straight & Flat Swing Plane Does Not Exist!

    Average is a bad word when it comes to people and their individual limitations when it comes to age. Wholly hell when it comes to age and aging when I bumped up to the AM/MP50 group and got to see how many 45 year olds I thought for sure were 10 years my senior I began to believe i'm in pretty...

    Does your rear/drive heel need to be off the ground to be "on your toes"?

    That's kinda crazy looking... speed and youth and ape index though. It doesn't look like his hips do any work at all. A few of the other guys right after him look to get a little heavy on the heel as well but still manage to drive that knee/rear hip around. Notably Tuomas Hyytiainen.

    Course management advice

    My issue here is that a missed short putt can make me question my putting... and THAT means it affects the rest of my game where I start to feel I have to get my drive/upshot inside 10' to make birdie/save par. These are points that are overlooked by so many people. I often throw multiple...

    Old Farts Only 40+ (no kids allowed)

    This hits my story. Less with guitar i've picked up borrowed ones or my daughter's baby neck one so many times over the years and put it down thinking damn I should have started this in high school. The internet makes it sooo much easier to pluck along and F around though. With Disc Golf I...

    [Innova] Pro eagle x

    They do runs of Pro Teebird pretty regularly. I had thought they wouldn't do 'more understable' plastics like Pro for overstable discs but they've done Gstar Banshees so who freaking knows the what or why with Innova.

    Breaking in discs

    I am so over stocked with backups I've built up based on a wear cycle with different plastics I'm turning into one of those old guys. I think MINT is the only manufacturer I know the names of their newer discs are. Most all others I'm not even interested in finding out what is new and out...
