    Where IS the nose?

    Good point... I have been setting up basically heel to heel. I will have to work on foot placement. I knew the "long" throwers set up more closed, but I thought it was more of a long distance driving thing vs being more closed as a normal stance. I'll shift it over and go from there. Thanks!

    Where IS the nose?

    Thanks! As of the other day, I am tossing a wombat 3 about 235 and the avair about 220 pretty consistently. Leopards going a little further than the wombat 3, but not enough to matter -- I'm still turning over the super light leopard, but the 150 and 165 are not turning over at all. Top throw...

So, if you pull the disc forward from full reach - keeping the leading edge slightly lower - then when you execute the snap, one would have to...

    Where IS the nose?

    Thanks! That's a handy article, and I am becoming more aware of disc orientation during flight to determine nose angles (really all angles), but again, that doesn't really discuss nose position/orientation throughout the throwing process. I follow that the grip dictates the fine tuning of it...

    Where IS the nose?

    He wasn't answering Jay, he was condensing and asking since I kind of went all over the place lol. The o'clock is waiting for something like: Nose at 6 o’clock at reach back, etc

    Where IS the nose?

    Hello all! I know the question seems kind of simplistic, and probably to 99% of DG'ers so elementary that it bears little comment, but - I am a little confused. Let me step back, then return to the question at hand, as it should make more sense. Total noob. As in I've literally thrown like 5...
