Looking for some tips for throwing downwind. I've noticed that I almost always get more distance throwing into the wind than I do with the wind. As long as the wind is under 20 I can get the disc to hang in the air a bit and carry farther than I can with the wind. The best description I can give for my downwind shots is that they seem to fly in a vacuum, very little glide.
I throw RHBH, consistent distance around 320-340 with a Surge SS and XL. My normal flight path is probably lower than most people which seems to serve me well into the wind but may be part of my problem throwing with the wind.
I have tried throwing higher and lighter discs but I just can't seem to get the downwind distance that I think I should. My best distance with the wind comes when throwing fairly low with a 168g Avenger SS, about 290-300.
So, any insights?
