Forehand Schmorehand
So, he's a boss who might struggle when the line calls for a FH throw. This ain't Ken Climo's game anymore. If you want to be the best of the best, you need to have at least a serviceable FH.
Are you being sarcastic? So forehand is a wrong way to throw? Tell that to Big Jerm & Ricky Wysocki while they rip 450'+ drives forehand more accurate than most people can throw any type of shot. Forehand is a great tool to have in the bag no matter your skill level. When your in situations in which your trying to get outta trouble sometimes a forehand will give you a better stance & definitely gets more distance from a standstill than backhand. Forehand allows the thrower to face their target throughout the whole throw & learning it will take stokes off anyone's game who already doesn't use it.
I think Nolan was just trying to get a reaction out of us. I fell right into his trap.

because they are MEN.
im not being sarcastic at all, i think forehand shots are the easy way out every single time. timmy gill designed all my local courses and there are so many dogleg rights its disgusting. i seriously think forehanding is a cop out. we all know its harder to pull off touch annys and the sort but if someone flicks anything i lose all respect for them. i compare it to pushing mongo on skateboards, easier sometimes but BAD form. imagine if a baseball pitcher pulled out a underhand softball throw randomly, it would throw off the hitter and likely be beneficial, doesnt mean it isnt lame as hell.
I'd bet on Austin Pfaff
Colorado is full of them, to be honest.
My first choice is Nathan Abernathy. 17 years old, and a course killer. He's already played up to Pro and seriously kills the leagues down in Pueblo. His tournaments, thus far, have been somewhat unimpressive as he does tend to get a bit stressed out/intimidated and there are plenty of, shall we say, less than scrupulous players in the CO area who take advantage of this. But trust me, kids a beast. His older brother Michael is a tech killer as well. Here's Nathan's PDGA page: http://www.pdga.com/player_stats/100997
Another is Salvador Ross. He hasn't played many tourneys, but he's another killer. He's only 18, and in the 303 Amateur tourney I only beat him by 6 throws! AND he played a division up from me! Here's his stats: http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/99997
The youngest of the Colorado "young guns" is Drew Palmer...12 years old and a total shredder. He rocks, seriously. His dad, mom and older brother all kick major butt as well. Here's his stats: http://www.pdga.com/player_stats/101574
The last two have to be Paige and Hunter Bjerkaas. Paige is ALREADY on Team Dynamic Discs and she hasn't even graduated high school! Their mom and dad are also awesome players, and Doug (the father) designs awesome courses as well as maintaining the popular CHU course. You can mark my words right now...she will one day win Worlds! Here's her page: http://www.pdga.com/player_stats/49782/2013
Hunter, her younger brother, is not current at the moment, but trust me, kid kills it.

Raymond oberley jr, us am champ last year, won a few tourneys this year as well with a tier beating ulibarri and cale
He might have a good game, but I got very little respect for this kid right now. He agreed to a cash split and then went back on his word after the person he agreed to split with went OB on the first hole of the final 9.
