    Unexpected Driving Distance Question

    I checked these out, too. A lot to take in. I have work to do.

    Unexpected Driving Distance Question

    Thanks so much for the feedback! I watched that one several times and thought I could see I wasn't rotating my hips or shifting my weight forward enough. Was comparing to Shusterick's recent video of practicing inside. I have to get my timing right between stepping forward, planting as I...

    Unexpected Driving Distance Question

    I actually had the chance to get video of me driving from different angles. Not gonna post (horrifying). I don't see any obvious torque issues; my bigger distance-related problems are lack of good follow through and not rotating my body into throw. Also pulling releasing disc more nose-up...

    Unexpected Driving Distance Question

    Upwards of the Shark (and short of overstable distance drivers), I have a Glo Leopard, beat DX Cheetah, DX Eagle, XL, Q-JLS, Flash, Dragon, X-Cyclone (new), Champion Spider (pretty slow), and DX Archangel (don't use that one too much . . . might be longer than fairway with some work). In the...

    How often do you buy a new disc?

    I try to "cap" my bag at a certain number, but that number keeps growing. Right now, I have a 20-disc bag and close to 25 discs. I've tried a fair number of molds and don't currently have two of any one mold (although carrying many brands, I likely have some overlap). I cull the discs that...

    Unexpected Driving Distance Question

    Anything comparable to a Mako that I may have? (My putt/approach discs include DX Aviar, DX Shark [beat to absolute Hell], DX Rhino, Soft Magnet, and a Champion Cobra).

    Unexpected Driving Distance Question

    Thanks, guys. I need to have someone video my drives from different angles, but I'm often doing rounds/fieldwork alone. I don't think torque is a chronic problem, but it seems to happen on that hole more than anywhere else. I like that my current under-construction drive style has resulted in...

    Best FIRST driver

    I'd say Leopard for sure (now). When I started, my first driver was an XL, which wasn't bad. I got a Valkyrie early, before I knew its wonders; now that it's beaten in (DX 169g), it's an awesome understable driver and the Leopard is my control driver. (Obviously, I'm not driving 400 feet.)

    Unexpected Driving Distance Question

    Not sure how to address this, but I have these odd drives that are significantly longer than average and I know there's a way of harnessing that as I improve my form. I've been working on technique, throwing flat as possible . . . just a simple extended reach-back with one step. Most of my...

    Review by Scottsan in course Jack McLean Park

    3.50 star(s) The Trees The course plays through the woods surrounding a recreation/community center, so facilities are easy to find. Plenty of shade and a nice walk. And once you start throwing, you won't be bored. Definitely not a "pitch-and-putt" course. If you like a challenge, this is the course for...

    Am I getting better or just staying consistent with my average?

    I'm with the OP, and some others. I started playing about a dozen years ago . . . quickly got to "intermediate," but my form was horrible. Developed an untrained, arbitrary run-up; my throw was all arm/wrist . . . no reach-back, no body. Didn't work on my short game, but my approaches were...

    Review by Scottsan in course MacIntyre Park DGC - Adv. 12

    3.00 star(s) Hidden Gem in South GA 1) Really nice use of space. Yes, it's only 12 holes, but they fit in well without crowding into each other. 2) If you like a challenge, you'll find yourself tested with pins placed in creative spots (e.g., very close to a creek). 3) Water comes into play on many of...

    Review by Scottsan in course Tom Brown Park - Old Layout

    4.00 star(s) Great Variety Great mix of mostly open holes and somewhat tight wooded holes. The course is well marked and plays away from most of the park's other multi-use functions. Not a lot to complain about, honestly. I'm not a pro, so the course length and hole variety are definitely...
