    Breaking 350'

    That plateau is usually associated with the most distance one can get throwing mostly with arm. Looking at your vid, you aren't incorporating your lower body enough to get the extra oomph you need to break the plateau. The disc should be the last thing to start moving forward. It's a weird...

    Left shoulder-neck pain

    Great to hear!!! The other option is distinctly unpleasant.

    Understable Midranges

    Try a Tursas and never look back.

    Left shoulder-neck pain

    If there is improvement within a week of the injury, it is most likely a muscle strain. If the symptoms persist beyond that with little to no improvement, you are describing symptoms of a possible nerve issue in your neck. Usually caused by a bulging disc. In other words, if it hurts bad for...

    Seeking more BH & FH distance

    Mike, I've watched you throw quite a bit on video and the only thing that I ever wondered about was the height of your reach back. I think you are leaking some energy as the disc comes down to the plane of the throw. A more on plane reach back would keep everything tight from your plant foot...

    Abandoning the Orc. Need help choosing new disc.

    I know you said your shop had a limited selection, but if you can, beg, borrow, or steal a Trident (OK don't steal one, but you get the idea). For the shorter course layout you describe, I think you'd really like it. It's short by driver standards, but super controllable and killer in the...

    Dynamic Discs Verdict and Suspect.

    I carry 3 Verdicts and 2 Suspects. Not sure they will all stay in the bag for the season, but working for me now. The Suspect does not fade as much or as hard as a zone. It's a bit longer than a zone and stays straight a good bit longer. Lucid Suspect goes dead straight into the wind with...

    Uncle B's Bag

    The Truth is a great disc. The more I throw it, the more I like it. Never thought the Buzzzs would come out of the bag, but they're gone. Compliment it with a Verdict and and now you're cookin' with gas!

    Inertia - threw one a bit today

    Tried helping him a couple times, somehow that turned into I don't like him. Just put on ignore and call it a day. He's been playing maybe a year. He recorded himself throwing a while back and all you have to do is watch the video once to see you can't take anything he says about disc flight...

    Latitude 64°

    Went out and played in some hefty winds yesterday. Threw the Trident on most headwind shots (Giant for longer stuff) and the Pure on most tailwind shots. XXX didn't come out once for some reason.

    Shorts vs. Longs

    Play from the longs but don't keep score. Focus more on shot selection and execution. Think of it as field work on the course. Do that a few times and the good shots you threw during the round will give you the confidence you need. When you keep score, you'll let the score make you...

    Dave's Bag

    Straighter with less fade. Reminds me of a Pure with more HSS. Can really crank on mine and it just goes and finishes straight.

    Dave's Bag

    What are you using the Warden for? How is it so far? Also, how is the Escape compared to the Legacy fairway drivers you are carrying?

    The Bag that The Tally Builds

    That sounds like a pretty cool idea. Make sure and post back to let us know how it went. I'd be interested to know the impact on your scores once you whittle your bag down a bit.

    Video clips by jr, lcgm8, mafa and others

    Good call. I watch every one of these but never say anything. Really appreciate the regular feeding of my addiction JR. It's been absolutely unplayable here in Chicago for months and videos are my only fix right now.
