    Review by aphilso1 in course Farragut SP - Little Black Bear

    3.50 star(s) Perfect Course For Kids Absolutely perfect place to introduce new players to the game. Holes are generally 200' or less. You're not losing a disc here. And for parents wanting to get their young kids into the sport, I have a hard time believing there are very many better options anywhere in...

    PDGA survey

    In the grand scheme of things, PDGA divisions don’t matter. It’s not something life or death like cancer. But it is reasonable to that a parent hurts when their child hurts, or a spouse hurts when their husband/wife hurts. Trivializing the experiences of those parents and spouses shows a...

    PDGA survey

    That is exactly what you said. I literally quoted you. You said "If you aren't prepared to be told your opinion doesn't matter, don't voice it." You are willing to tell an entire group of people that their opinion doesn't matter, purely based on biological characteristics that they can't...

    PDGA survey

    There's a big difference between being told your opinion is wrong vs being told your opinion doesn't matter. We all should be OK with having our opinions challenged, and potentially changing our minds when presented with information to support an alternate viewpoint. In contrast, defaulting to...

    Indoor Disc Golf Course??

    Your competitor for the disc golfer segment of the market is traditional disc golf courses, and those courses “sell” their product for free. Any attempt you make to monetize your idea faces an uphill battle for this reason alone. To me that means you need to bring in a lot of casual/non-disc...

    Movement in top 10

    Seems fair to be put in either a Con or Other Thoughts. There are plenty of times that a location effects the playability of a course. Located in an flood plain? That's a negative. Located on private property? Could be a positive (if you know the owner and thus can play with no crowds) or a...

    [Question] What's your favorite neutral, workable, "do it all" midrange?

    I'm already calm, but thanks for the free advice. You say to trust you that a VRoc is a neutral flyer. Why should I trust you that the disc is neutral flying, when your example is irrelevant? That's like me saying that a P2 is a great putting putter because Simon can throw it 400'+ feet...

    [Question] What's your favorite neutral, workable, "do it all" midrange?

    Maybe the VRoc is straight, but your premise does not at all support your conclusion. Almost any disc is straight for the first 50 feet. You could have thrown a Destroyer into your trunk from 50 feet and it would have gone straight. Does that mean your Destroyer should also be in contention...

    [Putters] Driving Putter in Premium plastic

    Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Official Thread) (Part V)

    Is there any intel on this disc? Is the Zenith the long-awaited gap filler between the Photon and Wave?

    [Recommend] Replacement for my Trespass

    Photon is the most overstable of the three. Flies similar to a Lucid-X Trespass or beefy Wraith. Waves depend a bit more on plastic. In my experience Fission and Plasma Waves are less stable, while Cosmic Neutron is most stable. Neutron and Proton plastics more in the middle. A Cosmic...

    [Recommend] Replacement for my Trespass

    I've got a stack of Trespasses collecting dust, since I used to cycle them but moved onto Photons and Waves instead. Right now I have 8 or 9 Trespasses in various weights and states of wear. I've never sold anything online before, but could probably figure it out if you're interested.

    Two molds only for one year. For real.

    If you're only carrying one driver, then Teebird vs s-turn disc (FD, Stag, Leo3, etc) mostly comes down to whether line-shaping or managing wind is more important. When I lived in Nebraska, I never would have been able to play without a straight-to-fade disc in the bag because most rounds were...

    [DGA] Looking for a neutral "tweener" mid/fairway. Squall?

    Not sure what else you have in your bag Mickstar, but you don't have to find a speed 6 disc to split the gap between a speed 5 and speed 7 disc. I think a more conventional way of filling that gap is with either a mid that is less stable than your Hex, or a fairway that is more stable than your...

    Two molds only for one year. For real.

    That's quite the can of worms. You can get 10 pages of responses if you ask that question as its own thread. Dome effects stability on different molds differently (depending on if the dome pulls up the parting line or pushes it down), and honestly it's not that significant of a variable on the...
