3.50 star(s) Underrated The course is mostly covered with large oak trees for shade about 90% of the round time. I had the luxury of playing this for the first time after the concrete pads were poured (this was a common complaint in the past reviews), so it got a bump in rating for me. It is very hard to...

FYI, alot of professional athletes take PEDs not just for bro gains (getting jacked and muscular). PEDs greatly benefit older players with recovery, strength, and stamina. If the PDGA ever drug tests, the older players will be at a disadvantage.

This is what I have gathered from all I have read. But, I'd like to point out that making your body do this can be tricky and there is difference in what you are feeling and what you are doing. Tristan Tanner explains this well in the link below about how he FEELS like his shoulder angle is more...

I'll let yall know how it turns out AND try to get some slo mo video

This post has me thinking. I have been a powerlifter for a while, and pulling is my strength. I can row the entire stack for reps on most cable machines and can deadlift 500lbs (when I am in shape - I have currently been out of the gym for 9 months). I'm wondering if reaching back IS hindering...

The bolded part makes me have so much MORE appreciation for Paul McBeth. He throws right up there with Lizotte and Eagle (who are 6'1" and 6'3" respectively) in terms of distance, and he is only 5'8"

Yes, that analogy works better. So would you say that my issue is a timing thing since when I actively try to accelarte the disc from the reachback (speed the sprinter up before the block) I usually have a shorter distance drive?

I like your advice about sticking with this until I hit a wall. It may just be that it's a timing thing.

Awesome! Good point. Is Alex a 500+ thrower?

I would love to hear a debate between Alex and Will Schusterick who claims that reaching back very far is CRUCIAL.

I like this thought, but couldn't we load our shoulders and hips with the disc at our chest and elbow bent?

Your analogy would be correct if I stated to put your body in place to where your arm has come unhinged to the point of the hit, your hips have started to turn, and weight has shifted and THEN trying to accelerate the disc...

What is the mechanical reason for the reach back? I watched the video of HUB talking about how he pulls the disc very slowly to his chest and then speeds everything up at the hit. I tried going very slow from the reach back to my chest and gained like 30 feet on my drive instantly. So it made...

Sorry to chime in with a pedantic point, but I would counter-argue that the definition of dunk HAS been established and it has never included a step ladder...but I get what he was saying
