2017 Accomplishments ✓ Celebrated one year of playing disc golf ✓ Played through the winter and saw a huge improvement in my game in the spring ✓ Figured out my x-step and gained a lot of confidence and distance with my backhand drives ✓ Gained more consistency and confidence with putting ✓...

I agree with the suggestions to try and contact the people he plays with, if you can. And also trying disc golf yourself! So much fun :)

I have a really narrow frame and actually just came to the Bags / Carts / Straps / Tags section to look for recommendations. I currently carry a BP-3 because a friend had an extra one, and I find the size to be really comfortable. I usually carry about 14 discs + 2 putters, along with way too...

My rating increased by 160 points. Oh the joys of being a newer player :P

Found a 175g thunderbird in the mud at the edge of a creek last year while searching for my disc at an out-of-town course. Texted the number on the disc, but the guy said he had already replaced it so I could keep it. At the time I was about 2 months into playing disc golf and a heavy...

I don't mind playing in not-perfect weather, but I will typically avoid casual rounds if it's pouring rain. I find that my motivation to play in crappy weather is a lot higher in the days leading up to a tournament because I feel like those rounds have more value. For things that I think are...

I threw my Buzzz on Friday that skipped and apparently trapped a bumble bee under it. Bee was not a happy camper when I picked up my disc, but he wasn't injured. Edit: sorry to continue this if it's heading to landfill. Thought it was the best place to share a silly story.

I feel like DGCR is kind of like Yelp. You get all kinds of people posting reviews for different reasons. Some of the reviews sound normal and relatable, while others make you wonder what the reviewer was smoking for breakfast. And about half the time the rating doesn't seem to have anything to...

Can you pinpoint what triggers the feeling? Or what changes after you haven't thrown for an hour? I know you said the feeling comes out of nowhere, but something is triggering you to doubt yourself. My mental game is something that I have been trying to work on a lot. Now if I find myself with...

Both will teach you things, but it will depend on your current skill level and upper body strength a bit. It looks like you're only considering pretty stable/overstable options right now, which are more likely to hide flaws in your form. I definitely second the recommendation to practice with...

I find that just "discs" works when you've already set up the context of disc golf.

I just don't like the term fade. It's such a soft word that doesn't fit in well with creative profanities when you're yelling at your disc to go back to the left after OATing it to death. But seriously... I still find turn and fade to be completely counter-intuitive.

I am a newer RHBH player with an extremely short/unreliable forehand, so I have the same problem as you (just on holes that go to the right instead of left). The two discs I use in those situations are a Discraft stratus and a Prodigy M5. With both, I throw them slightly overpowered with a bit...

Hah! If only they knew how few of us females actually play :rolleyes: ... but I don't want to totally derail this thread. From my experience, I had a pretty decent amount of exposure to disc golf before ever deciding to start playing. Back in the late 90s when I was probably 10 or 11 we played...

It wasn't hiding as much as it was playing a dangerous game of chicken.
