Hi everyone,
I'm new to the sport and learning every day. I've watched videos, read these forums, researched, practiced and played, all in an attempt to enjoy the game and try to get better in the process. I have many of the recommended beginner-friendly discs, i.e. the Buzzz, Leopard, Stingray, and so on. And yet for all of this, I still struggle to throw a disc 200 feet.
One of the things that I've found is just how much goes into proper technique. The grip, the stance, the pull, the follow through, the angle, the release... and on and on. For a beginner, it's a lot to remember and you can't master it all at once, obviously.
So my question is this: while a decent throw is the sum of many parts, is there one thing that you would recommend concentrating on first to give the most immediate and encouraging results for someone who is new to the game?
Thanks.
