I remember some eleven years ago there was some buzz about Arroyo Vortex baskets, I think they might have been first baskets with webbed inner chains, but also were a nubless design. There was a thread about them here too: https://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41202...

Doesn't matter at the tee, but creates interesting situation for a long horseshoe shaped hole, or possibly if you hit an early tree and do not make it to the turn with your first throw. Then on your second throw you have to step over your disc or mini for legal foot placement, and if your rear...

Well, it happened twice, it seems. #13 was eagled by 1025 and 1016 rated players (GG and Adam Hammes), and both were in circle one putts, not throw ins :)

Well, of course since the arm motion on vertical plane instead of horizontal, you have to take that in consideration in the spin, like this: :D

Just watched the first round and have to say I was impressed with Hailey King. Her backhand technique reminds me of some of the young bombers in MPO, her flick is clean, smooth and flat, and her putting has a confident and aggressive stroke rarely seen in FPO. And she's 15? If she keeps on...

Well, not only on when it's your turn to throw, as in the rulebook there are three conditions to starting of the 30 second clock, which are 1) it's your turn to throw, 2) you have had reasonable time to arrive at your disc, and 3) the playing area is clear and free of distractions. All 3 have to...

Honestly I don't mind the commercials that much, I understand why they are there, and most of them are just a few seconds, almost just like a transition screen between scenes, but I feel the timing could be improved on. It's mostly the first commercial after the first hole. The action barely...

Stack fork grip. Have had problems with my pinky. Usually during the first driving practice of the summer, when my fingers aren't yet used to it.

I hope it's a good driving putter, so you can say "The Gauntlet has been thrown" after every drive.

Last summer I built myself a "20 years ago"-bag, so it was limited to 1994 approved discs and earlier. Ended up with: DX Classic Aviar DX Stingray DX Shark DX Gazelle DX Viper Much fun has been had playing with that bag :) (I originally thought about Roc instead of Shark, but since Rancho Rocs...

The closest I've found to the feel of a Pure but more overstable is the Premium Jokeri.

I don't like playing for money when the expected return of investment is negative.

Because of JMeresmaa and his work to grow the sport. Really. Disc Golf in Finland wouldn't be where it is now if it wasn't for him.

I used to think the effect of temperature to air density would have negligible effect on the disc, however I stumbled upon an article on cycling, where it was said "If the air pressure is constant at 1000 kPa, then the air density at 25 degrees Celcius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) will be around...

I haven't seen or thrown all the other discs mentioned in this thread, but I'd say first run Premium Respecti deserves a mention. I saw a big arm throw it on an anhyzer, it flexed out, and faded so hard the disc was very nearly vertical angle when it tombstoned into the ground. And I've never...
