Surprisingly, TC Jester had no snow yesterday (Tuesday). There was some rain today, but TC Jester also drains fairly well compared to other courses in the area.

No, it's been pretty temperate here in Texas. I think just somehow from sliding along the ground, dirt got in between.

Yes, Neutron plastic. Based on throwing it later today, it doesn't seem to affect the flight, but like someone else said, it'll inevitably fill up with dirt again. I may try to seal it with some superglue then

From skipping along the ground, it appears a good amount of dirt got in between the core and the overmold of my Axiom Envy, which made the overmold plastic bulge a bit. I was able to take a thin blade to remove the dirt, but there is still a small separation between the two layers of plastic...

Reiterating what others said, the Shark is a workhorse mid (Star beats in to straight, DX beats in to understable), but not really for approaches. I've used 2 different Zones for approaches, but they don't work as well for me personally, since I like throwing more straight upshots. I prefer the...

I think maybe the problem is I mostly use the Zone for 100'-200' approaches, so it doesn't get up to speed and just fades too fast. Except for 250' and over, I'd rather just use an overstable mid-range with more glide, or put something like an Envy on hyzer angle.

I've heard a lot of people swear by their Zones, Harps, Pigs, etc. for approach shots, but I can never seem to make them work well for me. I think I just visualize straighter upshots, so I much prefer using a Luna or Proxy. Envy for a little overstability if there's a headwind. My question...

Top row (left to right) 1. $12 Innova Tour Series Aviar (same as McPro plastic, 175g, maybe 6/10 condition - these aren't durable for throwing but great for putting, light ink) 2. $12 Prodigy PA-3 (175g, like new, I think 400 plastic) 3. $8 Gateway SS Wizard (174g, scuffs and scratches) 4. $5...

I have a Blizzard Champion Condor that's 193g. It feels really comfortable to me since it's much closer to an Ultrastar that I'm used to for Ultimate Frisbee. It helped me to learn forehand (disc golf and ultimate forehands are surprisingly different), but I don't use it really now.

I haven't paid more than $16 for a disc, but I would guess my most valuable disc is an Ace Race Proto Ti Mantis that I got for super cheap since somebody wrote their name in large bubble letters on the top. Flies so nice and straight, a bit more overstable than the later production runs.

Wraith, Shark, Envy, and Luna. In the future, probably also Comet and Mantis. I think I'd be happy playing most rounds with just those 6 discs.

Not including the Lunas I putt with... 1. Neutron Envy - pretty straight with small reliable fade. Used pretty much for most shots from 75 - 250 feet. 2. Z Comet (MJ) - small controllable turn on all the holes designed for righty hyzers. Also can throw dead straight hyzer flips in the woods...

If you want a disc to beat in faster, do you actually purposely throw it at trees or walls or the ground? I'm legitimately curious. I play only Star/Z/Big Z/Ti discs in the hope that they retain their flight characteristics as long as possible, but I've heard how some people beat in an...

Are you referring to the later production runs of Star Sharks? One of the very first discs I happened to stumble upon was a PFN Star Shark, which has become my go-to neutral mid-range disc. I've seen OTB and Marshall Street still selling some of the Star Sharks without flight numbers, so I'm...

I started with all Innova since they were the easiest to find and often the cheapest. However, I feel like Innova is one of the worst in terms of quality control, consistent stability within the same mold and plastic, stiff vs. soft, and dome vs. flat. I've been moving more towards Discraft and...
