math is a measure of exactness From the same wikipedia, under metric time History When the metric system was introduced in France in 1795, it included units for length, area, dry volume, liquid capacity, weight or mass, and even currency, but not for time. Decimal time of day had been...

practice makes perfect I don't really have a field to go throw in, so I usually practice drives by throwing multiple drives on days, when the course is empty (i.e. I am not holding anyone up), but I can practice shots under 100 feet in my yard by using the trees as targets and obstacles. This...

Not the Metric System First things first, there is no metric time. Both the metric system and english system use seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc for measuring time; however, some countries will write the date as 27 April 2009 instead of April 27 2009. This is not to say that you couldn't...

Amaze yourself and friends every disc golfer has been in your shoes, and some of us are still there with you. What has really helped my mid - range and approach shots is to start with your putters/approach discs (i.e. aviar, magnet, putter, challenger, wizard, etc), pick a tree or other...

my mistake It is the xpress, since I picked it up only a couple of months ago. My mistake, there is no excuss for forgetting the correct name. I would look for sure, but it is loaned out to a beginner buddy of mine for his main driver.

Xtreme??? The discraft Xtreme is rated as -1 stability on both the disc and discraft's webpage, which means that it is very understable. Which means that for me (a right hand back hand thrower), it tends to go to the right.

why won't it work Just like you, fireborne, I have not had much luck getting a Champion Roadrunner to perform a hyzer flip. The first thing I would like to tell you is that it takes a lot of power to perform a hyzer flip (as you get more power this will change), with a distance driver. My...

The hyzer flip shot You can't just use any disc for a hyzer flip. Take a disc that when you throw it flat it likes to turn to the right (rhbh), then release it with a slight hyzer angle. You will have to experiment to see what the correct hyzer angle is for the disc you are using and the...

Is there really a right way to do this? A friend of mine uses a rhyno and only performs hyzer putts; however, I do believe his putting has suffered, because he uses a big sweeping hyzer, which causes his shots to have to be near perfect to hit. When they miss they tend to roll too far due to...

Straight is best Picture A is generally accepted as the best of the 4 choices you provided; however, the most important thing is that you pull straight across the chest as in pictures A and B. I have a friend who throws like pictures C and D, and he has a huge problem with his throws going...

To roll or not to roll I have a Elite X Xtreme, and I do believe that it will be a little too understable for your needs. I turns right very easily, as if it wants to become a roller. For shots under 300, I really like the discraft meteor thrown with a slight hyzer. If you throw it with an...

Why doesn't it work for me? Anytime a buddy of mine (or me for that matter) is looking for a new disc, I tell them that the next time we are out playing, they should throw my discs and our other friends' discs. Between us, I think me and my friends have most of the innova and discraft discs...

Nothing Stays the Same Keep all of your discs!!!!!! As your game develops, how a disc behaves for you will change. Just like you, when I got my wraith it went left hard, but half a year later I could throw it with a hyzer and it still went right. In fact I use it for long gentle right hand...

Those of you having trouble with the destroyer, I would just like to ask if you are overpowering an orc. If you are turning over your orc, then yes, you are ready for the destroyer. It does take some time to get it a little beat in, before it will start to go straight for you. Also, the more...
