Hello best friend, thanks for the advice!

Hey Paul,

Anymore PMB S P2's left?

 

[BirdmanCR]

How many aces are under your belt paul? Do you have a favorite?

 

[kerplunk]

yes quite a few, 1 in Helsinki, 1 in Nokia, 1 in Stockholm, 1 in Amsterdam and a handful of others i can not remember.

What did you think about the Amsterdam course (Sloterpark)? It was my home course for a year. I think of it as Winthrop-like, there is basically no elevation except the hill hole, but they use water, OB, mandos, and distance well to still make it challenging for an advanced/pro player. I am curious what a top pro thinks though, the best guys in the Netherlands are "only" around 980 rated.

Sounds like a plan, problem is tourneys are always full!

Hmmm... GBO had plenty of room this past weekend. In fact, Nikko Locastro showed up Friday morning and played with no problems. It would've been quite a test and showdown. Haven't been to a tournament yet where they turn folks away even that day. I'm sure it happens, but I'd say it's very rare. "Always full" is very much a stretch...

sorry if this has already been asked, but are you planning on making it back to the SOKY Championships this year?

Gotta say I've become a big fan of yours since this thread. Anyway just a story I stumble into the hotel I'm staying at for a particular amateur tournament over the weekend where I see some starters and a player of a certain new company that has started. Anyway as they are reviewing results of the GBO and they are making comments. I simply say I bet you come back get at least 2nd place and pretty much say you're the best Sunday player in the world. One of the owners says no way I'll bet your $50 I'm wrong. Didn't take the bet cause I'd have no way of collecting but just wanted to say thanks for making him eat his words.

I do have a question about throwing...when you are pulling the disc from your right peck out to the hit point do you engage your midsection or the core muscles in your stomach to help fire your hips and shoulders open towards your target?

[hk chef]

As an HB guy, were you an Oiler? Also, if you frequent the beach, do you prefer the North or South side breaks at the Pier (I'm south side myself). Thanks for your patience and time!

17th st all the way!!!

I was mashin F5 @ 6:59 and in by 07:05

'11 was sick and I'm very much looking forward to playing on the new tees. I happened to notice that a few touring pro spots are still open - any chance you'd make it up this way Paul?

 

[tbird888]

Where is paully?

Probably playing golf. It's pro season. Hopefully he'll be spending less time in front of the monitor and more time in front of the basket!

 

[WOTI]

Right now he is probably traveling to Denver for his tournament that starts tomorrow. Don't know why he hasn't answered since last weekend.

Have you messed with the Star Eagle-x and Champ Eagle-L much?

no i have always been a teebird fan then the C-PD came out and i prefer those over eagles

 

[PMcBeth]

Hey Paul, earlier in the thread you mentioned you use the 4 finger power grip for every throw except putts. For approaches, does the disc still rip out of your hand, or do you open up to let it fly out? If you open up, around what distances do you start doing so?

I open my hand, I would say about up to 375' is opening up then after that it rips out
