    Tomahawk, when to use it.

    I used to piss off one of my buddies by consistently parking a 250-260 foot hole with a tomahawk drive. It was so easy, until I blew up my rotator cuff throwing it one day. Three months later, I can throw some forehand again. Overhand really stresses the muscles still, so I remain on Tomahawk...

    Learn to Putt!!!

    The thing that stuck out to me in the listing was how clear the seller's fingerprints are in the photo. If there is fraud, there is probably enough of this guy's fingerprints available in the photo to positively ID him. Couple that with his assertions in the listing, and the field to print...

    What grip tag do you carry?

    My grip bag came without a bag tag. I emailed their customer service and got no response. It's been a year, so I am pretty sure I'm not getting one at this point. Not a big deal, though. I have plenty of other bag tags.

    Former Giants pitcher Brian Wilson plays Disc Golf

    Saying he is putting his career at risk requires you to make a lot of assumptions. Consider, for instance, the possibility that he may be playing with his 'off' hand. That alone would remove nearly any risk of career-limiting injury. Or, his doctor could have cleared him for this. Instead...

    Does DiscGolf center take forever to ship & recieve?

    They've occasionally gotten to my house as quickly as 2 days after my order. IIRC, they pack & ship the next morning after I order, and since I am so close, their standard shipping typically reaches me 1-2 days after that. To be fair, I live within 3 hours' drive of their shop.

    Poison Oak "Remover"

    Sounds like the consensus is: 1) Learn what Poison Oak/Ivy/ Sumac look like and avoid them if possible. 2) If exposed, rub some jewelweed on it (if you see some and know what it is). 3) Apply tecnu to remove the urushiol oils and/or wash everything well in the laundry. Do this before sitting...

    Which bag under $150 is the best?

    If you are patient, used backpack-style bags do pop up on the marketplace here from time to time. A Grip bag could go that low with a little wear, as could a Simian. I have one of each, and the Simian has been sitting on my shelf for about 6 months, waiting for me to sell it.

    Painful calluses, forehand players

    Emphasis added.

    Painful calluses, forehand players

    Sounds like blood blisters. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_blister to see what I mean. I throw maybe 1 or 2 forehand drives per round, depending on the course, so my calluses are small. A callus is generally a useful adaptation of the skin to prevent being rubbed through. I am...

    Glow coating vs Weight for Stability

    I believe the issue here is that some people think stable equals overstable. It does not. Stable = neutral. Calling an overstable disc 'more stable' is a lazy misuse of terminology. Albeit terminology that is admittedly confusing for some people. The original poster's question probably...

    Is the IceBowl a For-Profit event?

    There is a difference in wording here that is significant. 100% of funds received going to charity is not the same as 100% of proceeds. Our Ice Bowl generated just over $3,000 in registrations, donations, local business sponsorships, and silent auction bids. Just under $2,700 is going to...

    Club fees

    Our $5 fee for our singles and doubles leagues is split as follows: $3 to payout, $1 to club general fund, and $1 to 'competition fund,' which helps increase the purse at our largest annual tourney. Ace pool (/fund) is an optional extra dollar, and club non-members (or more likely members who...

    [Prodigy] Where can one buy prodigy disc? Who can find them for 15??

    Funny. The one I have says Prodigy Proto in the stamp. Nice looking disc. Haven't thrown it yet, but I will. I don't buy plastic to hang it on the wall.

    Paige and Prodigy 0-1

    Didn't want these actual facts to get lost in the usual grousing about new discs and prices. I was also at the tourney watching (played Am event 2 weeks ago) and briefly followed the women's lead card. For those questioning the Prodigy disc use by the sponsored pros, there was a lot of branded...

    Putting practice discs

    ^I agree with this, if you aren't buying local. If you can buy locally, try that first. Most shops will work with you on price for a larger purchase like this. Plus, you can help support the folks that make your local disc golf scene work.
