    My Form (GoPro-Slow Motion)

    These are updated form videos. They were shot at 60 fps per second with a GoPro and then edited to 10% speed. I'm still having issues getting over 350' with high speed drivers so any input or suggestions are welcome. http://youtu.be/3Kfvjl5qRbw http://youtu.be/FgZrDnn3SB4

    Eye/Hand Dominance and Putting Accuracy

    I recently learned that I'm left eye dominant, but right hand dominant. I noticed early on playing disc golf that most of my missed putts were missed to the right of the basket. I've learned to compensate for the offset from around 20' and in but I still have trouble with longer putts. I also...

    Disc Golf Anniversary Bag Revision

    Okay I have my bag set for a tournament this weekend. JR I took your advice and ditched the Aviar and added another of the new Magnets that I bought. I also dropped the Destroyer and added a new Wraith because the older one had lost its stability. I dropped the Valk and kept the ESP Avenger...

    Disc Golf Anniversary Bag Revision

    My bag has changed a little since the last post I made. I got rid of the ESP XL and added an ESP Predator, mostly because the XL was flying straighter than I needed for the shot that it was being utilized for. I also added 4 Magnets to my collection; a heavier beat one (original), a lighter...

    The Official 'Ask Paul McBeth' Thread

    sorry if this has already been asked, but are you planning on making it back to the SOKY Championships this year?

    Disc Golf Anniversary Bag Revision

    I've been playing disc golf for a year now and I felt like it was time to put my bag up for critique. I just recently made some nice distance gains in the past few weeks. This encouraged the though that I should look at what is in my bag. I have some tournaments to play in the next few...

    Ends and Means

    Cube has the right idea. I'm the type of person who needs something to aim for, numbers to look at, and statistical comparisons. Mostly though it helps me see where the fundamentals I'm working on should take me. It helps me see where I am in relation to where I want to be and for me that...

    Ends and Means

    *I posted this in the "Simple Keys" thread origianlly, but I took the advice of iacas and posted it as a thread of its own* I was thinking about a similar set of keys to the game but in a simpler way. At this point I'm just starting to understand and impliment the more specific, technical parts...

    "Simple Keys" to Disc Golf

    I was thinking about a similar set of keys to the game but in a simpler way. At this point I'm just starting to understand and impliment the more specific, technical parts of form. I do realize that the nuances, technical aspects and physics of form are what ultimately let you attain the goals...

    Moving from understable to overstable

    slowarm, by your response I'm going to assume that the more of a dome the disc has the more overstable it is. It makes sense considering the echo star destroyer I have is way overstable and the dx destroyer I have isn't (the dx's dome is flatter). I've never really considered the individual...

    Moving from understable to overstable

    I didn't get a chance to try out or buy anything over the weekend, but as soon as I have free time/money I plan to go grab a Surge SS and give it a try. Mark, I do plan to continue throwing my understable stuff. I do more field work than round playing and I throw all my discs from the crazy...

    Moving from understable to overstable

    I'm playing a round in the morning to test out the Wraith and see if there's any of my other discs in my collection that may need to move into my bag. The Surge SS is probably the next on my to-buy list and maybe a new Wraith if the one I have is flying good for me tomorrow.

    Moving from understable to overstable

    Until just recently the A-SS had always been a straight-flying disc for me. I did some field work on a windy day about a week ago and that's when it started turning over. I chalked it up to the wind and left it alone. Then yesterday I went out and played a round with a few friends and on the...

    Moving from understable to overstable

    My usable line distance is in the 325'-350' range. As for the BC Destroyer it turns over too.

    Moving from understable to overstable

    The drivers I carry right now are an D Avenger SS, an ESP Avenger SS, a Z Nuke SS, a DX Valkyrie and a Blizzard Destroyer.
