    [Innova] New distance record WIIIIITHHH....

    Congrats DW Jr.! You broke a ten year old record with a new revolutionary plastic. Speed 13 discs have been out for a couple years and nobody could turn that into a new world record. Couple an absolute distance master with a speed 13 low weight, high glide disc and we have a new record...

    Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game

    Me thinks there are too many full cups in the room. Seasoned athletes know what the zone is and how to get there. To borrow a phrase from The Wheel of Time, "the flame and the void" in other words the ability to block out all but the target is what great athletes do. I think this book looks...

    [Innova] Blizzard Technology

    Remarkable technology! I started playing object golf in the mid 70s. First we used a 165g Frisbee as our one disc option. Then we expanded our arsenal to include 185g ultimate discs for putting then 119g for drives. Those of us who could throw the 119g 330-340' were few and far between and...

    [Innova] Blizzard Technology

    There seems to be a really wide variety of experiences with this new plastic. I just grabbed a 150 Katana and I'm heading out. I'll report back with my findings.

    [Innova] Whats Next For Blizzards?

    A couple of big armed buddies of mine found a 140 Valk a while back and didn't want it. I said I would give it a try and it sat in my bag for a while. Then I blew my shoulder out. After rehab I blew my pec out. After more time off and rehab I was still not strong enough to pull out the speed...

    5 Future Courses in Colorado Springs, CO

    I played with the guy on Sunday that is promoting the Power's Peak course and I am with you, it is too open and wind prone. It would be sweet for me as far as convenience since I can walk there but there just isn't enough elevation change to make it interesting IMO. RIP HP, I loved that...

    All Jump Putts Illegal in 2012?

    Way back when we played stand and deliver on every shot except the T shot. Either there weren't rules or we just didn't know them. It took a lot of time to break the old habit and I would hate to go back. But I gotta say that some lies on grades still make it handy to have that background...

    How can I get 30 more feet?

    Sidewinder is right, your pull through is not a straight line. Work without the disc concentrating on making your feet set up your hips to do a running lawn mower pull. Reach back a little farther and a bit lower. Getting that straight line tug by getting better core rotation will add 30 feet...

    5 Future Courses in Colorado Springs, CO

    So far specific sites have not been identified as far as I know. There are only a few parks owned by the city with enough acreage to accommodate 18 holes and I totally agree each one should be an 18 and top quality. It is almost a certainty that currently undeveloped land would need to be...

    5 Future Courses in Colorado Springs, CO

    This is a huge step but coming up with the cash is going to take a lot of work. Cottonwood has been my home course for the last 15 years and it is ridiculously busy. I used to be able to do a cardio round in 45 minutes but it is way too crowded now. But on the subject of the economics, if we...

    saving the arm

    Effective driving is a lot more like throwing a slow pitch softball throw than throwing a fastball for most people. Timing and smoothness are the ticket. I promise you'll get your first big D with a smooth well timed throw. I often get tired or desperate and try to muscle my drives. Having...

    Intentional OAT?

    A little OAT on purpose okay, a lot never! Subtle, subtle, subtle my friend.
