The big loser regarding scheduling is the West Coast; it is an after thought so why not Stockton. The DGPT wants to go to Europe and the West Coast is what is being sacrificed. Texas and Florida will continue to dominate the offseason/preseason due to weather. The Texas courses don't do it for...

In the spray and pray, shock and awe category I recommend the Clash Wild Honey in Steady plastic. The Underworld has been my favorite understable fairway driver for years with the Maul being a close second, but I recently tried a Mint Discs Jackalope and it is spectacular as well. It slowly...

It's all very clear to me now, thank you.

Brychanus, balance is imaginary? What you're trying to say eludes me. Many great throwers have a wider stance: Kuoksa, AB, Albert Tamm. Most of us can't achieve this because our lower body strength is inadequate. The brace, IMO, is when your center of gravity is behind and directed into your...

Jaani, Josh, I really enjoy your videos and the spirit in which the information is presented. Thanks for commenting.

Reading your responses has reminded me of my own bias. I've always hated the hard plastics. My experiences are primarily with the softer premium plastics. They do seem more durable to me now than they were in the past.

Is breaking in and cycling discs becoming a thing of the past? The quality of plastics have improved dramatically in the past few years, and this seems true for all the major manufacturers. Additionally, the manufacturers and the buying public seem to be favoring these more durable and more...

It would be logical to assume that, but I bet this disc junky adds more of everything else to compensate. The promise of new plastic is irresistable.

I occasionally play with an octagenarian. He throws understable 130g drivers and breaks 300' regularly. I don't know how he does it. The disc moves so slow it would block traffic in a school zone, but it just hovers straight down the middle. I've tried lightweight drivers, but I haven't seen any...

I'll continue to carry a Clash Wild Honey, Westside King and a Grace for those times when the winds are favorable, or I'm feeling better than usual. I'm on the hunt for a go to fh fairway driver that will fly far for me.

I'm not aging well so you shouldn't be concerned with how well I am doing at 63. Arthritis is robbing me of speed, strength and flexibility even though I am otherwise fit. I play with people 10 and 15 years older than myself who can still out perform me, and have greater endurance. Hopefully...

Time to accept my new reality. My distance drivers barely, and I do mean barely, go further than my 7 speeds. My game is now about upshots, putting and playing for par. I'll hang on to a couple of distance drivers for windy days, but I just traded in 3 and acquired a new mid.

I remember watching Magnus Samuelsson. He was a really fiery competitor; very entertaining. Four time World's Strongest Man Magnus Ver Magnusson had a delightful name that was easy to remember. The Icelandic version of Johnny Johnson Jr.

I watched some of the skills competition on Youtube today. The video quality wasn't any better, and the mechanical whine of those drones doesn't enhance the viewing experience. However, some of the performances were very impressive.

A dozen years ago when I was first introduced to disc golf, I was attracted by the community and the innocence. The locals who prepared the courses and volunteered to help with the event were doing it simply for the love of the game. Now that the DGPT is trying to control and monetize every part...

LIfe's progression: Young-No warm up, throw as hard as want for as long as you want, injuries heal within a few days. Young Adult-Fall out of car hungover, no warm up, throw as hard as you want for two rounds, recover with beer and bacon cheeseburgers. Mature Adult-Stretching...

Wysocki was awkward on camera when he was younger, but that's no longer true. McBeth was never personable or really likable. He was simply an extraordinary player for a handful of years. Buhr is too young to judge as a person or a player.

My ice scraper. It's heavy enough and long enough, 20", that I can feel the lag and release, but not so heavy that I'm afraid I'll accidentally release it. Great for a quick warm up at the course as well.

I am surprised to see Anttila leaving. I would have thought that DM would be desperate to hang onto both Niklas and Eagle. The pool of players who regularly make coverage and are a threat to win is actually quite small.

IMO, golf as an industry made the mistake of making their courses increasingly difficult, and forgetting that their average customer was just a hacker out for a pleasant afternoon on the course with friends and a beer. Fairways have been cut so low that they are now like greens were long ago...
