THIS. When I first started playing I learned to throw backhand for everything because my sidearm sucked. I could throw turnovers pretty accurately, but I went away to college and the new course wasn't as open. So if I was a couple feet off the fairway, I learned to grab a zone and step way out...

I do the same thing on the short ones and I see a lot of other people do it too. So we're not alone. I think the problem is that when you are that close to the basket you tell yourself that it should be a "gimme" but yet in the back of your mind you know you are capable of missing it because you...

Somewhere in Michigan! I think Flip City would be awesome. It would be a great atmosphere and I think disc golfers from all around that area would make the trip. I know I sure would.

It takes 3-5 weeks for them to process and customize your "player's pack" for joining or renewing, plus another week or so to receive it in the mail. That's just for your physical items like your membership card and whatnot. You are current as soon as you renew. You can take your receipt to a TD...

Also take advantage of what you have for a teepad. If there's a tree a little ways up on the left side of the fairway, then do your run up so you are throwing off of the right side of the teepad. This has helped me quite a bit with this same issue. Depending on the side of the teepad, this could...

I just recently found the Hammer pound drills (or the "Secret Technique" i think?) here on the forums. And they have helped tremendously. I have slowed everything way down to a walkthrough with almost no reach back and just focusing on the hit and I'm already throwing the same distance if not...

I'd have to agree with everyone. I think saying for it to be an actual school sport was going too far. But what you guys are saying is more of what I was looking for. I just think it'd be cool to find a way to get more exposure to the sport through the schools. Just getting it in gym class would...

Yeah I don't think it needs to be an official varsity sport right away. It could be a club or just a group of interested kids that start a league or something. Just something organized so kids arent playing alone and that they can ask questions and be taught how to play. I think it would be...

Very true. Maybe I'm just dreaming a little about what I personally would have wanted. :p

Im curious to what other people think. Everyone has been talking about where the PDGA should focus their attention, either new players or current pros. I think getting disc golf into high school as a sport would grow the sport incredibly. I can't imagine it would be that hard to do. To me, it...

I never even noticed that my foot was already slightly towards the target. Thanks for pointing that out. That first throw was one of my better ones actually. It was a Star Wraith that went about 350-375. I threw it flat and it did a big S before landing. But that doesn't happen every time. I...

Hi, Im new to these forums. Well being registered that is. I've been doing a lot of research here. I wanted to see if I could get a little help with my throw. Im pretty sure Im using almost all arm. I'm just not sure how to get my body involved. Im throwing just a little over 300 consistently...

Okay. Thanks a ton. I will definitely work on that

Okay thanks. Would that be related to what Will Schusterick was saying in his driving video? He talks about pulling the disc across your core instead of shoulder height. About at the 1:25 mark 30cUNsWOYSI

Hi. Im back with another video. Last thread was too old to be posted in again though, sorry. I've been working on my throw for a while now. I know I need more weight transfer and to get my shoulders into the throw more, but I just can't seem to do it. There's a few things that confuse me. Like...
