The Ask MJ & Comet Love Thread

[UP Mountain Man]

I love woods golf! Its another one of those areas i need to play

MJ, then you would absolutely fall in love with The Bear @ Highbridge Hills. Heck, I'd love to guide for you, if you're ever in the area ...

Thank you so much for your participation and sharing in this thread... much respect sir!

I'll take you up on it when i make it up that way.

I am glad that i can share some of my thoughts on the game and that people get some use out of it and enjoy it

 

[bergdawg]

I am gonna try to

If you do go, get there early in the morning. I waited five hours to get in the 1/2 NL game. 200 person wait list. It's worth it, though. Going back up next weekend for the last of it.

 

[mj20300]

Thanks forthe heads up

Given all other variables are the same (trees/wind direction/drop-offs/etc), would you rather have a 30' uphill (5' of elevation) or a 40' downhill putt (5' of elevation)?

Why?

 

[mj20300]

Downhill. For the most part it hust suits my eye better. I have just always enjoyed downhills more. But there are times and situations where the uphill would be easier

 

[greenday]

going to the extreme high speed they all end up doing the same thing until you learn how to input the proper amount of spin on them needed to make them fly correctly

How do I learn to put a proper amount of spin? Is it always that more spin is better or it depends?

 

[cubeofsoup]

MJ do you throw Glo Comets? I know they just did a run of them and I'm pretty excited to give them a try.

How far away is too far when it comes to tournaments? There is a tourney coming up in Augusta Ga, which isnl't THAT far away. I am probably going to spectate and hopefully caddie if at all possible. It would be neat to see you out there.

Learning the proper amount of spin each disc likes takes time. Some discs and throws require more some less. Its all about experimenting and learning

Butting in here...

Much earlier in this thread, MJ talks about an exercise that I started doing that helps in general with the feel of imparting spin. You can do this sitting around watching TV, or like refreshing DGCR over and over....

Sitting in a chair, say, toss/catch a disc straight up beside you, perpencidular to the floor, and making it spin as much as possible without hitting the ceiling. Don't go too fast, because you want to make sure you're using your normal grip every time. (In fact, doing this fairly regularly has HELPED me fine-tune my mid-grip.) I've found it to be the best w/r/t mids, since they're really more about spin than disc speed.

It's harder (for me) to do this with wider-rimmed drivers without marking up the cieling, but it seems like the principle carries over to all throws once you're "on the course."

congrats on the win down at Stoney Hill :thmbup:

 

[baoverton]

^^
congrats and I can't wait to get down to Castle Hayne to watch the battle this Sunday afternoon!!

Good Luck!

 

[unkindnessofcrows]

I just got a few of the "moon" stamped Glo Comets. Havent had a chance to throw them yet. Wondering if anyone has thrown them and if they compare to the stock Z or the LE Glo that DD put out? Thanks.

 

[mj20300]

Thanks! It was ugly, but effective!

 

[DavidSauls]

Thanks! It was ugly, but effective!

You kept the gallery around till the end.

Better disc golfer if they had picked up the sport when they were 20 years old:

Lebron or Kobie?

Clinton or Obama?

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Montana or Brady?

Petty or Unser?

Hulk Hogan or Andre the Giant?

 

[NEWADDICTION]

MJ, how did you do in the Azalea? Kill it again. Was trying to get out there to watch but soccer games for the kids take front seat

 

[NOStheBOSS]

I officially love my ESP comet, best woods disc out there
