Things noobs say...

"I need a more overstable disc to handle all the power I've developed."

POW!

Haha, I'm so glad I found this forum. My friend does the too fast disc FH-technique. Now I just have to get good enough to beat him.

"I throw forehands really far. But I hate mids I can't forehand those, they're all too slow for me."

Throws McBeth Destroyer/Champ XCal/whatever crazy OS on wobbly anhyzer, to flex back and save the day for a 300' shot. The best is when it's windy and these shots just get absolutely punished into oblivion.

I encounter this all the time. It's really puzzling because I have basically no forehand distance, yet I can forehand mids and putters way better than our local dedicated forehand specialists.

To me it's called being a torque-monkey, to them it's called big forehand snap.

Dude actually said this to me once. (context: I was playing solo and so was he, we ended up on the same hole and played it together, He asked some questions after seeing my sweet throw SOooo we were talking and I said "What do you throw?" I looked and I said, I highly recommend getting slower discs, like a midrange and a putter)

He says

"I got this Boss....is a Boss a midrange?"


No lie....totally serious. I laughed out loud and explained the width of the rims, showed him a Buzzz and a Pa3 to explain mids and putter then showed a Teebird to show a fairway. I recommended him a Sidewinder , He's still putting Bosses I'm sure

I thought this was a thread about all the silly things noobs say...

I meant to add that in to my op. Id like to hear more stories like this.

It's not anything anyone said but; Me and my wife had to play through another couple on the course the other day. While we were behind them though we noticed the woman was carrying probably more discs than me and my wife combined in a large backpack bag. I was eager to see how well she played, it's not often I see women playing that are any good, besides my wife.

So she gets up to the teepad, already I see trouble brewing, and does that typical nose up, no power, super hyzer, total noob 60 foot throw with a driver type disc...

Never assume someone knows how to play by the amount of discs they carry.

"I don't need a putter ill just use the skeeter"

Yup i said it. And tossed a monarch (mean hyzer flips FH) as well as a groove....

Ahh found it! Monarch FH old pic ftw!

Most discs aren't stable enough for me... I have too much snap. Even my champion Ape is turning over and won't come back.

The funny thing is I just recently heard this same thing from a 850-900 level player. Only he had too much snap for a Nuke OS. It was clear to me that backhand was his strength, not forehand.

This one guy who plays with us often gets hyzer, anhyzer mixed up, along with turnover. Ive tried to correct him, but have given up at this point. I love when he yells great turnover, when you've just crushed a big hyzer to the left...lol

The Roc is a good disk for new and inexperienced players.

"How do you get them to turn right" - asked by a newb at a new-to-me course (post' point, FL) I just played today.

I think the Kansas City Pro Aviar story takes the win for this thread so far.

Unfortunately I'm going to be spreading that misinformation at every opportunity when somebody asks, "wut's the K-C mean?"

 

[Dire Wolfy]

When I was new I got anhyzer and hyzer confused and reversed them alot.

I always preferred the ones from Canada.
