Got a question about sidearm. Since the only thing I can do with the backhand shot is grip lock I decided in my futile effort to throw a drive more than 220' that I would try sidearm. Problem is I see all of these people throwing it and it takes off 300' plus. I can only throw mine as far as my arm can throw it. So do you have to have really really strong arms to have a snowball's chance in hell of getting it more than 200 or more feet? How in the world does it rip it out of your hand?Like I said my disc only go as far as I can throw it which is maybe around 200 feet or 210.I tried throwing really hard and just ended up with a sore elbow and a sore arm in general and no distance. Finally after several attempts I threw my disc in my bag tossed them in the car and said "to hell with it"
One thing about disc golf it has brought out more anger and frustration in me then I ever knew I had! Cuss words I never thought about using before flow easily during a round of this "wonderful" game.
While I am on it,I have been playing for about 2 1/2 years and still cannot drive more than 220 maybe 230 if I am lucky. It has gotten to the point now where if I see a basket that is 300' or more from the tee I just tell myself "there is no way your gonna make that". My question is how do I get out of that mind set? Anyone else ever have or is having this problem? How did you or how are you dealing with it?
I really like this game but I suck when it comes to drives! I have since I started two plus years ago. All you people who are upset cause your drive is only 300 ft,let me know if you would like to switch with me cause I would give anything to have a 300' drive. It is just not there!
