I have about 420' power and the 168g blue icon Aftermath that I threw was very flippy, but can be used as a long-distance roller or a medium-power hyzerflip shot. The 175g white Aftermath I threw was more stable and can handle high-power hyzerflip or turnover-to-fade long-distance shots for over...

All of my friends own Grip bags in every model and I caddy for them often during tournaments. I bought the bags I have (UPD Shift & Rebel / Pound Octothorpe) based around my experiences with my friends' bags. I, too, have owned a Ranger, so I can tell you that the Grip bags are an upgrade from...

Stated simply - the B15 looks "cleaner" and A15 looks "serious". I'd say that the main compartments on both bags hold what the manufacturer claims. The A15 will look big on you if you're 5' 7" or less, but shouldn't be unwieldy at all; the B15 will look perfectly sized on most adult people. The...

What I realized is that a lot of velocity can be generated with only a bent arm and without a significant reachback. The key for me was to slowly incorporate more shoulder rotation after 1) how to time the hit from the strict position I mentioned; and 2) how to move more linearly into the...

I struggle with this as well, Zphix. Ime it means that I haven't shifted my weight forward by the time I reach my hit point. I think this is your problem, too, because you site that your throws end up going too high on a hyzer. Another thing that helps to remedy this problem for me is to get my...

12 second mark. I first experienced clearing my hips in disc golf by slowly practicing one-handed baseball bat swings. I tried to make my swing mirror Bond's swing and in that I found the barrel of the bat whipping past me while establishing a secure base. I've also been digging videos on...

The shift is comfortable, convenient, and the disc ergonomics are the best imo. The shift also topples on hillsides pretty easily, and that's its only fault.

Question for those that actively manipulate spin: Does a person decrease the power output of their throw while increasing the speed through the hit in order to achieve an increase in spin? Would this practice be beneficial on very windy occasions (20+mph)?

One of my favorite things about disc golf is that people flourish in this game where their natural talents or interests are. I like to study and apply bh technique, so much so, that I taught my non-dominant arm to throw bh to supplement my rhfh. I've read at least two other threads where...

The new run of ghosts fly exactly how one would imagine a Roc flies--very straight with a forward, penetrating fade. Every one I've thrown from this run handles power and anhyzer well. Aqua and milky blue second runs are me faves!

Gunmetal legend plastic makes every mold more stable IME. You want to look for some bleeder cannons in pinnacle because they have the perfect amount of understability. Aqua pinnacle outlaws are pretty beefy, but gunmetal outlaws are uber-beef. I've been throwing Legacy for a little less than a...

I'm becoming interested in purchasing an ST3 and I currently own the Rebel and Shift from UPD. I like the look of the ST3, but I'm curious for specific comparisons with the Grip series bag in the aspects of size, disc storage, item storage, material quality, and comfort. Thank you for reading.
