Can agree with Horsman above. I jumped on the Star Destroyer bandwagon this season, and most of mine are the current run of 4x McBeth. They all have very similar amounts of flip and fade, and are all about the same (normal) amount of dome as well. Very pleased with how they feel and how they...

I picked up a used E* wraith a few years ago and same story - bit of a dome, but it absolutely bombs. Good amount of turn without making it "flippy" as such, and enough stability that it will recover from flex lines without just dumping out. Crushed it about 450-500' the other day on a hole...

I bag a proto-star RocX3. I haven't thrown it as much as I'd like yet, but so far it seems to be exactly what I had hoped. I love my Roc3 (1x McBeth, the only flat-top run I've ever seen), but for a long time I've wanted something that flies a little shorter and fades out a bit harder. I am...

For Rochester, you may be better-suited with Parma DGC instead of Chili. Parma is pretty much the premiere course around here, and if you've never played it you should. If you do play Chili though, prepare for a very muddy experience. Just food for thought.

Sorry for the delay - I don't come here very often so I sorta forgot I posted this. The rotation "tempo" I was referring to is the act of rotating from away-from-the-target to facing-the-target. Naturally, the subconscious wants to accelerate though this rotation because more speed = farther...

After three years of strong-arming every throw (not even aware of it most of the time), I finally decided to return to basics. I started at the hit and moved backwards, only adding the next part when I truly "got" it. I think starting with just a stand-still throw and keeping my elbow...

Toe drag is an indicator of what, spinning rather than planting and bracing? I ask because I notice myself doing a lot of toe drag on most of my normal run-ups. I don't think I do it on lighter run-ups simply because I'm not trying to build as much momentum on those shots. I have a feeling...

Well since Beto is showing his face here, I may as well ask something that's been bugging me lately. Beto - if I remember correctly, your grip places the disc slightly above the seam of the hand, yes? (see http://discgolfreview.com/resources/articles/gripittoripit.shtml) Blake has said that...

This. I've been feeling the same way lately - if the disc isn't pivoting, then a firm grip is counterproductive. The grip should only be made firmer to delay the disc pivot. Throwing with just the thumb-finger pinch will give you a better feel for how to initiate the pivot; after you learn...

My backhand mechanics have been evolving for the last 2+ years, and I feel like I'm starting to feel what all the drills and advice here and all over the internet have been trying to teach. However, I've arrived at a bit of a crossroads and I need some input from others to see which way to go...

Great revelation. I recently had the same one, as chance would have it. The more incidental wrist bend you get while loading the "power zone," the more leverage you have on the disc and bigger your snap. However, the wrist bend must be incidental, or you lose much of the snap. I'd keep...

PMed on roc3.

4.00 star(s) One of my favorites -The course is mostly wide-open, and even the areas that aren't that open are still not so dense that you couldn't find your disc. -It's very forgiving for beginners, or if you're practicing your technique. -It's a great hike with several holes built into the hill. -The...

Stop crapping threads like this. If you're going to make an offer of any type, do it via PM.

PMed on TM River.
