    Thoughts on my tee sign design?

    I would suggest putting elevation as a measurement with an arrow showing up or down below the length measurements. Just do overall elevation change. In my experience that’s more useful than showing the intricacies of elevation change.

    What is your most expensive disc you have lost?

    I lost my first ace disc. A FLX Avenger I had in my bag longer than any other disc I’ve had. Lake Amador Campground course. It was my first time playing the course and I went to spike a hyzer next to the basket on hole 4 or 5. I didn’t know there was a swampy pond a foot past the basket.

    Forehand approaches and discs.

    I would recommend more overstable putters and mids. I use an ESP Zone and my go to putter, an Eraser Wizard for most approaches, depending on distance. A lot of people I play with are FH dominant players, but have trouble not turning over a forehand approach. The zone is good because it doesn’t...

    Trying out Trilogy

    My quick suggestions are these 3 mids: Truth-stable (very much like a buzzz) Tursas-understable Verdict-overstable All 3 feel a lot like the buzzz in the hand and feel the same overall. I recently ditched my buzzz for the truth.

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    This was yesterday afternoon, but I shot 5 over on the front 9 and started the back 9 with 5 birdies in a row. Ended up 2 over after bogeying two long par 3's to follow up my birdies.

    disc golf ace world record

    This is correct. Everything at DeLa is par 3, even the couple of holes that should be legit 4's. Hole 3 isn't one of them though. I can't remember which #(12-16 I think) it is, but the one that comes to mind that should be a 4 is open about 350-400' to a tree line then a 90degree left turn...

    Index finger placement while putting

    I've always kept my index finger on the outside. It just seems natural and more controllable.

    How do you add spin to a forehand throw?

    That might be part of the problem there. The pad of your finger should be against the rim. I used the peace sign grip when I started, and moved to the stacked to get more spin, but only after my overall mechanics and control improved while using the peace sign grip. Now I switch between the two...
