Hi DGers, I've just started getting serious this year and I'm having a blast. I've gone through a lot of plastic in a short amount of time but I've settled into a bag that should last me a while:
Clutch, Atom, Buzzz, Leopard, Valkyrie, and Wraith (Wraith for RHFH drives)
I'm trying not to buy any new molds, instead I started buying extra of the same mold whenever I get the itch. That's worked well bc it allows me to get more field throws before I hike to collect them.
This forum and youtube vids have been a huge help, so thank you to anyone who contributes.
I've been focusing on RHBH but also practicing RHFH. One area I keep struggling with is forehand wobble when it leaves my hand. I've watched a lot of videos, read the forums, tried every grip I could find, follow through palm up, accelerate, snap, tight grip, loose grip, minimal run-up, etc... but it never fails... disc wobbles for at least the first 1/4 of the flight before it stabilizes. I also get a lot of turn-and-burn with FH. I know wobble can't help my accuracy or distance, so any ideas would be great. I practice FH with all my discs, from putters up, with same wobbly result.
For reference: I toss my wraith 250-290 FH with minimal gymnastics.
Possibly a hint at my issue: I often toss some easy FH's while walking to pick up discs and sometimes those are silky smooth... the times when I'm not really "trying" and I'm in middle of a normal forward walking stride. One of those times the disc went 200+ feet with very little effort, must have had just the right technique (accidentally :\ ).
Thanks in advance,
