I use disc golf center

So all in all, if I want to stick with the Leopard, but upgrade to a better plastic, I should go with Pro.

I got married this summer...so even though it says I've been playing for a year and a half, you have to figure that I didn't get to play very much this year at all. Also, up to a month ago I was living in Wisconsin, so there was no playing in the winter haha. So really, I'm still a very new...

When I was originally told to try a Leopard, I was told to get a DX to see if I even liked it. I'm just now starting to understand the differences in all the discs and what I am able to throw. Problem being that any Star discs I've ever thrown have been high speed discs, so it's difficult for...

My Mako and Stingray fly dead straight if I try to drive with them, but I tend to only get around 200 ft. out of them. My Leopard or Valkyrie fly further, but it's a little more difficult to keep them straight.

As far as Innova plastics go, it seems like there's varying opinions on a lot of the different plastic types. As far as I'm aware there's DX, Pro, Champion, and Star plastics available in most popular disc molds. Though it seems like Star plastic is the new thing, most people don't tend to use...

On the other hand, if it's difficult to make it fly, then the new player may get discouraged and give up.

It's hard to walk out of a disc shop without a new disc. It really is a kind of addiction haha

Haha, what do you mean by "addiction"?

Alright thanks! I figured it wouldn't matter that he's a lefty, but I just thought it was worth mentioning just in case I was ignorant of an important fact ;). I always hear about people using the buzzz and how wonderful it is, but I've never thrown one.

A friend of mine has started to get into disc golfing thanks to me, and I wanted to pick him up a disc for him to start with, instead of just throwing one of my spare discs. He's been using my Leopard DX (150g) and has been doing reasonable with it. He's a left-hand back-hand thrower, so I...

Spray it with PAM or some other type of cooking spray and let it sit for awhile. It usually comes off fairly easily then.

Alright I think I understand what you guys are talking about now. Mainly it's forcing the disc to fly the opposite direction of what it wants to, but getting enough behind it that it will eventually level out and fly as predicted.

I guess I don't really see how his throw was different than the other guys.

Interesting how that would work. Are there any decent videos on doing it? I wasn't able to find any when I did look.
