    Gateway Mini Backpack

    My Gateway backpack survived a motorcycle accident and I am still using it 2 years later. I would highly recommend their bags.

    Good Disc to Teach Good Form

    I am a big proponent of perfecting your form THEN working on from there. Find an understable mid or putter (buzz ss, element, magic, ect.) and do some field work with that. As soon as you’re comfortable with being able to throw understable discs with a little hyzerflip, or completely flat...

    Glow coating vs Weight for Stability

    ‘Hyzer’ refers to the release angle of the disc, not the flight pattern of the disc. A disc does not ‘hyzer’ out, it fades. An understable disc does not flip then fly ‘anhyzer,’ it flips/turns. If we are going to be nazis about the definiton of stable, understable, overstable, we might as...

    The Backpack Shoot Out...

    Showering was a little rough for a week or so due to road rash on my left side but I walked away from the accident just fine.

    The Backpack Shoot Out...

    I have the gateway backpack and that thing has been through hell and back and still has held up well. I got it because it fit well enough that I could ride the motorcycle to and from the course. On the way back from a round, a lady pulled out in front of me and the following happend: Ninja-...

    [MVP] Mvp Amp

    So they have hit: 1) Subatomic particles 2) Mathematical quantites 3) EE Im hoping for a another putter the 'quark,' some more mids 'matrix,' or 'limit' with another fairway driver 'watt'.

    why use the metric system in disc golf?

    RADIUS of a circle = .... the radius of a circle. (Straight line distance from center of circle to the circle's edge.) AREA of a circel = pi*(r^2) In engineering USA is officially metric, but engilsh engineering units are almost exclusively used. Go figure.

    Tired of people not renewing PDGA membership!

    ratings are 'over rated' in my opinion. Unless you play in rated tournaments at unfamiliar courses your rating will be ballooned. You can get a local guy who only plays courses in their home town, so their rating would appear higher than if they were to travel and play courses that they don't...

    Roller (disc) comments

    I have been using a 175 Westside King for my distance rollers. If you get a good snap on the disc you can throw it flat and it will stand up and start rolling after about 100 feet. Or you can get a little more elevation on your throw with it and start with a little anny, which will result in a...

    [Westside] Westside boatman

    I have noticed that the Boatman has MORE glide than what a firebird does, but is a little faster/longer. Ill use the boatman if I want to cover a LOT of lateral ground right to left whereas a Spirt or a Rage are more spike hyzer/skip applications, and a firebird is just Mr. Reliable for the 330...

    HOD 09/18/12: Pickard Park in Indianola, IA

    That hole is KNARLY!! Especially from the blue tees. Played it over the summer and that course is definitely in my top 5. On to pressing business. I had the pleasure of taking a 3 on the hole with the following: Big backhand roller that I got to land about at the crest of the hill then roll...

    Ankle pain from x-step

    If you allow yourself to complete a full follow-through then you should aleviate some of the pain in your joints. Check out will schustricks form, its absolutely perfect. Very smooth, fluid, and there is no abrupt acceleration (or deceleration) in the entire throwing motion.

    Word on the street is...

    hence... 'word on the street.' No one mentioned how well informed the street actually is. Sorry, I'm quite the devils advocate tonight.
