    $850!!!!!!

    From what I hear, it's not just that site but that whole state that's overpriced when it comes to collector discs. I did get to go in the Clearwater Disc Golf store 3 weeks ago when I went down there. They had collector discs that were high but so did the guy at the course the second day of the...

    A little rant about boutique (rare) discs

    Wow. Holy freakin' wow. And I'm from NC, have seen Little Dave throw, and had my butt handed to me by him in tourneys more than once (his 1020's at Sneeky Pete were on my home course, yes that was just one of the times he's whooped me). I hear he's playing pro at the Renny Clash this year. For...

    1-2 putt and approach combo

    I'd have to almost agree with the Wizard/Warlock combo since that's what I have in my bag right now. But if I had my choice and a whole bunch of extra cash I'd go with a Warlock/Magic combo. The Wizard and the Warlock start off very similar out of the box. The Warlock not having a bead does make...

    Mid-range for headwinds

    Demons are awesome . They do one thing and do it every time. RHBH, they turn left. Wind, no wind, any angle, unless they are just trashed, they turn left. One of the most predictable discs ever made. Helps to have a strong arm, otherwise they can be a bit too much disc.

    What Does A Good Drive Feel Like?

    Tree, if you are really driving from your legs, they will be the first part of your body thats gets tired. As far as how they feel when you do it right, that I can't really describe. I might be wrong, people may disagree with me (this is the internet after all) but that's how I can tell after...

    PDGA legal?

    If it's the same lizard skin from years ago which it looks like to me, they let the stamp "burn in". It's not something the newer plastic does, but I have seen old Aviar grids (late 80's, early 90's) where the stamp was recessed due to heat of the stamp iron and time the iron was pressed into...

    Overlap Q ... I know, I know...

    Sam, Rodney Gilmore here. I assume you are the Sam I already know. If thats the case, hit me up with a PM with your phone number and we'll meet up and I can help you out. Besides, I already have a big box of used stuff we might be able to pick through and help fill some holes in your lineup.

    Beat discs??

    Get some KC Rocs. They feel like DX but are more durable.

    Wall City DG Bags

    I used to have a Cube like 13 years ago. It was my first real disc bag if I remember correctly. It held up well but it didnt have a frame. That meant I had to keep a certain number of discs in there so it would hold its shape. Also not having a frame meant it couldn't be set down on a hill...

    In-flip???

    Rusty-I can do both depending on the height, angle of release, and disc used. MDR-That's pretty much the result when I throw this shot with a driver.

    In-flip???

    Ok I messed around with this yesterday. I'm not sure what I was thinking from the description, but is's basically a grenade with an understable disc. So here's a question for everyone. What's the name for a grenade thrown at a roller angle vs a spike hyzer angle. I've had it referred to as a...

    In-flip???

    Ok now that makes more sense. This might be a good shot for me to start messing around with since it seems like it has almost the same flight pattern as a thumber but i have no power for the thumber motion. On the other hand I do have slightly better than average backhand power which it sounds...

    In-flip???

    Wow, now I'm even more confused. I was thinking that the disc was right side up but the grip was upside down (thumb under the bottom, fingers on top) and it would be released in a spike hyzer or grenade angle. If that's not it I really don't understand how this works unless the guy throwing it...
