I don't like them to much. The floppiness of the disc kind of messes with me. I do have a buddy that swears by them. Out of all the times we have played I can only remember seeing a handful of his putts bounce off the chains or get any kind of roll once it hit the ground. They also just go...

One thing I have been doing recently is windmill streches. Spinning my arm close to my body forward and backwards. I do other streches but this one seems to help me the most. Instead of taking a couple of holes to get fully loose now I am completely loose on the first hole. Even when my...

Probably just getting smoother in your technique.

For me at least the two main things I think about is where I step with my front foot and the extra spin needed. I am a right handed thrower. So when I do a forehand anhyzer I step to the right on my last step. With some practice the disc will actually break back to the left lined up with your...

You can use alcohol and remove the ink most of the time. I guess I can not answer the poll. I just leave them where they are. I have my own disc and know/like how they fly. I have actually came back the next day to look for a disc I had lost and found it. I can only hope that is what...

Try an innova kite. Has a driver type rim and has good glide.

Sounds to me like you are throwing a horrible disc to learn how to sidearm with. I would suggest getting a viking (innova disc). These are great for beginners to get the hang of sidearming because they are forgiving. They are not as fast which will probably play to your advantage once you get...

I like using a 180g shark for a lot of putts over 40'. I can still use my same putting style to set-up the shoot, which I am very comfortable with. The extra weight keeps me from over shooting. It just seems like I can focus in more on where I am aiming and not have to put some much effort...

Don't get me wrong the heat in the summer around here is pretty harsh. On the other hand I don't like fall to much because I am constantly looking for disc that have slide underneath leaves. Ah, I guess you can't have it all.

The longest hole in all the course around me is at Victor Ashe Park. If it is in the long basket position it is an 1100' par 3. It is a pretty cool looking hole. It is pretty much open with a couple rolling hills in front of you. I have only made par once on this hole in that position and it...

Destroyer Shark Aviar

I can throw rollers forehand or backhand. For me at least I just throw with an over exagerated anhyzer (angle). They seem to be predictable as far as where they will land and start to roll. This is why I don't really ever do them. I guess on a hole where it was really just sloped one way in...

2.00 star(s) Beginner friendly course You can definately see why they picked this spot for a disc golf course. Nice scenary and look. Course is a great place to learn how to play disc golf. General layout of the holes is good. Elevation changes on a lot of the holes. Some wood holes. Not enough...

3.00 star(s) Pretty good design on all of the holes. Good mix of distance via multiple tee pads. Plenty of elevation changes and trees. Some trash cans. They do some double tournaments on wed. Not that busy of a park most of the time. You can get in a peaceful game here. Good place to hit if you...

Most any putter or midrange would be good for new guys. I really would not recommend shotting with fairway drivers and normal drivers to begin with. The sharper rims just take way more control to even throw a mediocre shot, at least for a person new to the sport. I would say something like...
