How different is "different"?

[Steve West]

How much different in length does a hole need to be for you to throw differently?

 

[Conky]

10%.

 

[Stardoggy]

This is a weird question.

 

[grotto]

Huh? Differently how? Maybe I'm just tired tonight, but I have no idea what you're asking.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Consider when you throw a hole that is 250 feet.

At what distance does your throwing style/line change?.... I think is what he is asking?!

 

[Steve West]

Yep.

If you just threw a hole that was 250 feet long, and the next hole was similar, what length does the second hole need to be for you to throw differently than you did on the 250 ft hole?

 

[BrotherDave]

Are we assuming flat ground, no obstacles?

Not necessarily, but length is the only difference between the holes.

I'm not really sure how to answer, I don't want to goober up the data. I wish I had more courses where only distance was the difference between holes or a football field where I could field practice on regularly to narrow it down. I generally throw hard (~90%) on every hole and let disc type be the variable. I know I power down around 240' and shorter probably. If I had to guess, I probably start throwing more of a distance line somewhere in the 330-340' range?

Non comprendes senior.

So, when do you pull out a different disc?

 

[scarpfish]

A change in wind direction and speed on the exact same 250' hole might make me throw differently.

Different from a putter?

Yes, or disc or anything, or you would have a different second throw (compared to if the hole were 250 feet).

I thought you understood the question, but according to your answer, you would stand on the tee and say "this hole is anywhere between 250 feet and 350 feet, so I will use this disc and throw this hard on this line. Then, I will be left with the exact same second throw as a 250 foot hole."

No difference whether it is 250 or 350, it is essentially the same hole to you, right?

Nope.

How much more vague could this poll question be? The answer is: none. None more vague.

Yeah, pretty much. 250 isn't SUPER short so its still possible to throw a "full" shot and for me up to 350' given the hole design im fine with throwing a putter or mid and don't use any different technique or anything until im trying to REALLY mash one out there (and that never works out anyways lol)

Maybe I don't know what you are asking? In general I try to throw "full" shots whenever possible though so my throws are changing that often at all.

 

[runningDoc]

it depends on how creative the player is!

 

[sjberry2017]

I just answered the question as when I'm discing up from a mid to a fairway driver.

 

[Karl]

For me to answer the question Steve, it would depend on the type of throw I'm intending to throw.
My overhand shots (due to the different discs I carry for such) very about 30' per disc. Therefore a <235' throw is 1 disc, a 235' - 265' is another disc, and >265' is a third. BHs and FHs at that distance are "touch shots" and so EVERY shot is a "feel compared to the footage on the course" (without which I'm dead!!).
