I should also mention that I really wasn't elevating the disc much. I think that's something else to work on to add distance, but, one step at a time.

Ok, so I feel like I might have had a breakthrough today. I was finally able to get a lot of drives straight and without OAT. Driving a 170g DX Roc from a stand-still, I was able to get my drives from 250'-270' (estimated based on hole length) with consistency, nice and straight. This is good distance, right? I've read people assert that someone should be able to drive 300' with a Roc, but I assume that's using some sort of glide step or x-step. I'm hoping to build more consistency and accuracy before I add something like that. Is my distance pretty good for my disc and throwing from a stand-still?

I dont get this go out and crush putters 300 ft thing to see if you have a problem with O.A.T. Alot of people on here arent going to be able to throw a putter that far. Trying to will create a problem. Just my 10 cents..
If you're working on form and O.A.T. eradication, I would highly suggest putting the Ape and Firebird in a locked chest buried deep in the backyard until you feel comfortable with some of the goals that have been suggested in aforementioned posts.
I'm confused here...no one has mentioned this that I've seen, but a Roc can handle a ton of torque and isn't even remotely nose sensitive. I'm all for learning to throw a Roc, but I don't think you'll learn much about your form from throwing one...certainly not when you're still learning how everything works.
I think you're misunderstanding what people are saying. They're saying that unless you're throwing your beaded Aviar well over 300', then it's turning becasue of OAT, not becasue of power. You can max out at 250' or 200' with a beaded Aviar and still be throwing OAT free.I dont get this go out and crush putters 300 ft thing to see if you have a problem with O.A.T.
