I'm not sure this will effect my score one bit as I would be carrying only the discs I normally use. Just no dead weight which I guess could have an impact on scores on long courses in extreme weather? I used to be ( before I took up this game) a rabid fly fisherman. You should have seen...

Hey All I am going to try an experiment this year and see where the results lead me. So my wife just purchased me a bag that holds 20 + discs. I have this thing stuffed to the gills with all the usual suspects to cover the conditions found while playing. I am one of those people that brings...

Hey all Love this thread and reread it for hidden nuggets on a regular basis. Question to you all is please explain what Blake is talking about here. your rip finger should not feel any "pull" by the disc. the rip finger should feel like it's "pushing" the disc. in those cases, your pivot has...

Thanks for the clarification. I have been playing it wrong this whole last year. More than a few courses owe me strokes. SD

Hey All I was reading the rule regarding obs and noticed it says a disc is out if it is "clearly and completely surrounded by ob". The surrounded is where I took pause. For some reason I thought they changed this so when a disc that was touching ob (partway on partway off) it was ob. I...

I did not really mention in my first post but the dirt is in piles about 3 to 4 feet high as its not been spread out yet. Not the worlds greatest footing but certainly not hazardous. I was just curious because I think in ball golf you would get relief from this? SD

Hello All Playing Blue Lake today and to prepare for the worlds in 2014 they are working it over pretty good. Footing on this course is rough so they have brought in dirt to level out and fill in large depressions. My question is if my disc runs into or lands on one of these piles of dirt do I...

I had a buddy that putted and threw with a star XD. He let me toss it and like VRay says they do not fly at all like the DXXD. I plan on giving a try to some of your suggestions, I need to go to my local shop and grip them to get a feel. I wish they had a disc library so I could try before...

Hey All Up here in the Pacific NW its XD country. I use this disc for drives,ups and putting. I carry 3 of these in different stabilitys and cycle these every 4 to 6 months depending on how many trees get in the way of them. I love driving fresh xds but they lose there "freshness" quicker...

Hey All Cycling DX Rocs is my M.O. I think it offers a few advantages over having one overstable, understable, stable mid in premium plastic. I buy 3 at a time and throw them for 4 to 6 months until they start to straighten out. I then get three more repeat etc. In the long run I probably...

All right, feeling a little dumb about the tje thing. I honestly thought it was an acronym that pertained to the throw. Its no wonder Its taking me so long to figure out this game. SD

Thanks for the insights. Stringbean I am a little dense what is tje? Keltik, I think you are right on this to some degree. I don't think you can excecute the key turn unless your wrist is open or opening. It is a subtle movement that allows you to push the wrist down. I almost think it...

Hello All Been a while but since I posted a question, but I have continued to work on my throw. My question is rather simple. Is the "keyturn" that Blake as well as others describe wrist extension? I am not sure where to find the keyturn post but it refers to moving your hand at the last...

Hey All I was going to post a question on this very thing but you all are ahead of me. After watching the Feldburg vid and a vid by Will Shust (how ever you spell it) called Driving Instruction I noticed they are instructing to drive the hip in linear fashion rather than rotational? Feldy...

Hey CC I could not agree with you more on the effectiveness of this program. Stand where you can make it, don't worry about mechanics, 30 min a day. Sounds to good to be true but it works. I think this works on a couple of different levels. It helps you form a solid routine and most...
