Ask Chris Hysell the angry old Discraft Pro

[keltik]

For whatever reason I like old Chris. I've never met him in person but I get a kick out of his "get off my lawn" persona.

so here goes.

Chris what was the first course you played? you mentioned you played around Raleigh a lot. Kentwood? Do you throw the Nuke for everything?

Chris, please explain some of your theories on putting in the wind.
How would you putt at 30' with r to left headwind?

 

[tbird888]

How do you keep track of your ace count at this point, and are you a "retirer" or a "plenty of aces left in this beast" kind of guy?

 

[juju]

WTF, why don't you throw mids?

Mr. Heysell,
I wish to see how dilapidated your putting Challenger is. And I would also like to know if I will be seeing you at this year's Breeze & Treeze?

 

[BrotherDave]

Hey Chris,

Why won't you answer these good peoples' queries? They have come a long way to drink from the bottomless cup that is your knowledge.

You are a nut.

The 1st course I played was probably McClean when I played Ultimate in 1982. We played with lids. In 1992 I started playing right at the end of the year and drove to Raleigh and played the Kentwood Christmas Classic.

Chris, please explain some of your theories on putting in the wind.
How would you putt at 30' with r to left headwind?

I putt with lots of touch but the intention isn't to always make the putt. The intention isn't to miss it badly. For most head winds I like to try to float the disc about 2/3 the way there. With a head wind that usually works.

 

[chrishysell]

How do you keep track of your ace count at this point, and are you a "retirer" or a "plenty of aces left in this beast" kind of guy?

I always write my ace on my disc after I pull it out of the basket. Really after I look through my bag and find what the last number was. At any time I may have 4 or 5 ace discs in the bag. I never retire anything.
