Just an FYI, its not an octopus. Its the Oberon sun logo for a summer beer brewed by Bell's of Kalamazoo, MI that used to be good, but has since become the filtered macro-brew of the masses. Also, I think they stamped quite a few different molds of discs with that stamp for the fly mart. It was...

Hey! I would love to help. I think the best thing I can offer is the use of a quality slow motion camera and maybe a few tips here and there. Looks like you've already got some solid form. Getting a couple different views of your throw in slow motion can help you diagnose what you feel like...

Welcome to the community Hixon! If you're interested in seeing how you might competitive you might be against today's FPO field in distance goes I can help accommodate. We have at least 500' of open flat ground down at Pier Park (and virtually unlimited at Blue Lake) and I have a 400'...

3.50 star(s) Portland areas newest tournament venue Tight and technical, the schule is rough Risk and reward on some of the par 4's like 12 and 15 Provides good score separation; every hole is reachable for a birdie, even a couple eagle looks. Elevated and sunken pins provide interesting greens Water...

Mine are also marked 175 and scaling in the 172.4-172.8 range.

Got three in the mail today. First impression: They feel good in the hand. A bit of a higher shoulder when compared with an 11x, although they have the same flat/almost concave center/flight plate. Not as stiff as the recent run of flat/firm glowbirds. Also, they don't feel as shallow with...

Wait, Nate Sexton moved to Raleigh? I just played a tournament with him a few weeks ago in Oregon and he's registered for a few more. Also, if he did move, enjoy the sneakiest 1035 rated player around. Dude slinks his way to course records without much flair, just solid all around play. No...

I've been playing a lot of long courses lately where I don't throw too many mids off the tee and I've surprised myself by getting away with 2 buzzes and a zone. 1 glow buzzz, actually not a super overstable one, it has some turn (-.5 maybe) that helps me get some good distance and control with...

Ah, after reading discspeeds review above me here I remembered something that everyone agreed on at the course. If you throw a lot of understable plastic and prefer releasing most of your shots on a hyzer angle (players with ultimate background will probably feel comfortable here) this disc...

I received a red 172g MVP Inertia this weekend. Got some throws in at a relatively wooded course and a wider longer course to test it out. At 350-380' of power this disc is pretty understable. It flies similar to a worn beast out of the box. I'd put the flight ratings at 10/5/-3/1. At about...

Those new x plastic ones wear more similar to KC Pro, I've been crunching one on trees for a few months, still fades at the end but its getting some turn. My truly understable mid is one of the older x plastic buzzzs, feels a little chalkier and is a little flatter/doesnt have a high shoulder...

I was gifted a "first run" stamped D2 recently and found that at 375-400' it didnt fly quite as overstable as an average destroyer. I was getting a slight flip and turn at those distances for a tight S. Maybe -1.5/3 on the turn and fade. The new AJ's are more overstable than the one I have, my...

I throw about the same distance as you and although there are a few discs in my bag I can do this with, the Leopard is by far my favorite for it. Basically scaling up the power level and adding the appropriate amount of hyzer release I can get them to carry straight for about 280-310' before...

3 wizards -Beat 4s for approaches and understable drives -new ss for overstable drives and approaches -stiff blurple for putting 2 buzzzs -one beat x buzzz for turnovers and hyzer flips -one slightly worn glow for straight/stable shots 1 z zone, because tits. 2 teebirds -1 new stable echo...

The course is not currently open to the public and I wouldn't want what I've said to be taken as a review as it is likely to change and evolve before its big day. Take it as more of a exercise in hole design than anything else.
