How do you approach from 150-200ft?

[kdogokc]

Buzzz or Medium Magic...I take whatever line will keep me no further than 10' past the basket

 

[New013]

I'd either use my Mako or Pig depending on the line. Wide open field or with room to work... Pig. If it's tight... Mako.

150-200 aint an "approach".

What would you call it then?

What would you call it then?

Inquiring minds want to know. 200' I would say has gotten to be about the limit of my approach range maybe. Although I think I might be tempted to try to get a Leopard a little further from a standstill frisbee like toss but accuracy is definately going down hill at that point.

I do that same thing the guy in the one DGA video does explaining approaches with a Fuse most of the time but a Leopard for those longer ones like I said. I just use a bit more hip. Kind of a work in progress though as I have tried to use it to make ace runs on ~200' and tend to try to hard and yank a little right placing me about 20' out.

If im trying to make it... Bottom stamp rancho roc.. 180g.. I have made so many from 100+ with this disc it makes me sick, I have no idea why this disc works so well for me but it really does.

Under 100... I'd throw either a dart or XD depending on mood.

This is what has opened up my approach game.

 

[dlognittam]

Flicking a buzzz prolly.

That's what makes it a good question. It's at the top range of what people would call an approach.

I throw my Wizard most of the time unless the shot calls for something special. For example I might use a Spirit for a really high, steep hyzer line. For the Wizard shots that's to the point where I'm using a control/fan type grip (the one I use for putting and playing catch or Ultimate). I'm probably using a bit of a run up at 150' and I might even use a full run up at 200'. I should probably try throwing at the 200' range using a power grip from a standstill (I honestly don't know how good or bad I'd be at it), but that's a part of my game that's been pretty solid since I started so I never really saw the need to try anything else.

99% of the time, I'm throwing a Wizard.

me too!

Do you take a mid-range? A putter? A driver? Do you try and get it close or go for it? This is assuming the wind is low and there is no back drop or things in the way.

I x-step my Money putter straight at the chains.

 

[Doupie620]

My Skeeter will get er done most of the time...straight and floats softly into birdie land...ahhhh, smell the Skeeter!

 

[discmeister]

Depending on the line, I would use my Pain, Fuse, or Ringer w/o a run up.

150-200 aint an "approach".

What is it then? under 200 is no drive and over 150 is not a putt. It must be an approach shot then right? It all depends on the green and line to the basket but most of the time I'm throwing 1 of 3 rocs, star if i need some fade or a hyzer line, dx for a straight shot or beat kc pro if i need a little turn or anny line, maybe my putter soft magnet if i'm running at it. 150-200 though i'm looking to be at the base of the pin, running at it only in casual/dubs rounds or there's a good backstop.

 

[Beable]

Depends on the line and ceiling. Putter most of the time, midrange if I have specific fade or ceiling problems.

[adoubleudisc]

I Throw one of my KC Pro Rocs, depending on what lies ahead will determine if I use the beat in one or my newer one.

 

[mreynolds24]

Probably an Ion or Voodoo at it unless the terrain/obstacles call for something faster. Always go for it unless it really counts then I may lay up under the basket

 

[RoundWounds]

99% of the time, I'm throwing a Wizard.

:thmbup:

 

[DBdiscgolf]

If the shot is pretty open I would use either a rhyno or a roc. If you need to bend it around to the left (RHBH) I would use a stingray. If you need to hyzer it around to the right depending on how severe I would either use a roc, an eagle or a firebird.

 

[Dsplayname]

I'd probably throw a Buzzz FLX or my Striker, depending on wind. If it is a really hard dogleg, maybe the Halo.
