Avery threw a 165g DX Destroyer 840' at Big D a couple years ago. Unfottunately it was in warmups before the competition even started.

Thats a realitive question. Iv been playing for a few years. And I couldnt tell you half about discs like some of these boys.
Yeah, that is a relative question. You're probably not a n00b. Hopefully, in 5 years and many rounds a week, you've learned how to not throw painful hyzers that stall out and can throw your putter over 150'. :\
You watch a lot of Bob Villa?debebbler said:
I didn't mean to imply that you're a n00b, I was implying that I can dumb this stuff down to a level n00bs can understand b/c I'm not too far removed from being a n00b myself. :hfive:

Who is this GG you speak of?

Garrett Gurthie. He bombs. During the Player's Cup, he threw a shot that got him within 100' on a 780' hole. His airshots were going farther than EVERYONE's rollers.

This might belong in equipment but, Is there any difference between a Wizard stamped $$$ rather than SSS? I figure no, but I'm a unedumacated no0b.
GG flat out bombs. I saw him throw his second shot on hole 5 at the USDGC and I don't think it's come down yet. Seriously though, that shot that he threw was unlike any other I saw all week at the USDGC. I was spotting on hole 5 all week. I saw every throw from the tee, and every second shot. Nobody else even came close to attempting what he did, and no one else may have been able to.
He was about 250' behind where this pic was taken, and past the trees. It was at least 600', if not significantly more.

difference between 11x CAL and CA? Also - what's the difference if they say Distance Driver or Fairway Driver? Do all CAL's say distance driver or are there also CA molds that say distance driver?

CALs are more over stable with less glide. but they're faster out of your hand.
i've seen 11x CAs and CALs that both say Fairway and Distance, so that method isn't always the best. for instance, nearly every old pearly 11x TB is marked Distance Driver, but is CA tooled.

Where/how/why was the term "fleshy" coined?
And the disc happened to be flesh colored.

I have a question (and I hope it hasn't been asked yet as I have not read all of the previous pages):
How do you use disc Speed to your advantage. I see how a slow disc can be beneficial, but how about a fast one?
Its also easy for me to see how Turn, Fade and Glide can be utilized, but for some reason Speed is more ambiguous.
How do you use Speed in shot selection?

the disc flies past potential obsticals before it can hit them....

On a low ceiling shot, a faster disc doesn't need the height a slower one does to get the same distance.
