    Realistic expectations

    I agree with Blake. The problem is that no beginners have the insight so they have no clue especially when it comes to buying a disc and the proper way to throw. I see it at my local disc shop all the time. Then you get intermediate players like me who want to get better and are just finding out...

    I don't like DX plastic. Am I just being picky and don't know what Im talking about? Im tempted to get star or champion.

    How firm should my power grip be?

    When driving how firm should my power grip be? I know that too loose is bad, what about too tight? How much pressure should the thumb have? I heard that it is better to apply more pressure towards the tip of the thumb.

    Am I turning too far back when I drive? Accuracy, Consistenc

    Ive just started taking my BH serious since this spring and it is really coming along. My question is should I be facing my target when throwing? Right now I dont feel that comfortable leaving my body more open towards my target. Basically what I do now is have my head, shoulders, and back to my...

    Disc speeds

    Im hearing a lot about eagles. I might have to pick one up. I throw a 175 broken in champion valkryie which I like, a newer not broken in 175 champion teebird which I did not care for and no longer have, a pro leopard which I didn't care for as much as other discs (pro plastic is junk imo), I...

    I am definitely here to listen and get better. Ive been on for two weeks and am already making changes. Its great to be able to come on here and get advice from people that are better than me and have more knowledge about the game. I dont get a chance to play with anyone better than me in my...

    Figuring out my backhand

    What is off axis torque? Putter will flip and a few others that are understable. No wobble.

    Figuring out my backhand

    Yeah I would like to get a video on here so I can get some real specific critique on my throws. It seems like every time I move down in disc speed I also lose more distance.

    Figuring out my backhand

    I throw those drivers further and an overall straighter line than any other lower speed drivers, mainly further by 30 to 50 ft. I also play many courses through the woods and can shape shots just fine. Im still missing the message though. I shouldnt be doing this??

    Disc speeds

    Sure you can, Its called adjusting. Since when is a disc only designed for the EXACT speed you are going to throw it. Every disc is thrown at different speeds most every throw. Its more about how stable and dependable that disk is, which is why I like my ape.

    Disc speeds

    So you guys are saying I should be teeing off with a fairway driver and nothing faster?? My max is about 370 ft. My champion valkryie is understable and even my champion groove that I have had for 4 months. Why do manufacturers say discs with a speed rating of 9 or 10 are good beginners discs...

    Warm ups and strengthening

    Do you throw in Madison at all? I have recently played all 3 courses and I think they are great.

    Warm ups and strengthening

    I don't see how someone could step up to the tee pad and rip a full drive with cold muscles. Right now I like to do some quick stretching and take 5 discs in my hand and go through throwing motions 10 times and go up and down 10 times while mixing in some side to sides with the wrist. After that...

    Figuring out my backhand

    I am a rhbh thrower and my current average is 300 ft. Most of my distance drives I throw a slight anhyzer to get my distance and keep a straighter line. Sometimes I throw a big anhyzer higher up to achieve more distance using an S curve. Is this a bad thing to be doing? When I throw more level...

    Warm ups and strengthening

    What do most players do for a warm up before a round? What exercises can I do to strengthen my arm and hopefully improve my game and my distance? Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
