    Spin Painting

    I PM'd Dan, and haven't heard back yet. I'm looking to buy an MVP disc for my father for father's day and wanted something unique. I was going to buy through marshall street, but then some some of the gorgeous dyes Dan has completed. Dan are you watching this thread... any MVP discs dyed right...

    Zero Drop/Minimalist, Keen Shoes, Etc.

    I also wear New Balance Minimus Trails. They are perfect for disc golfing, rugged enough to give a little toe box protection from small roots (broke toe with 5 fingers on sneaky root), and yet very very comfortable. They also take a dip in the water like a charm. I've used mine for over a year...

    My quest to improve my casual playing to a better level

    So far improvement! 1. Xstep is now just slow and precise, about setting up movement correctly. Will speed up down the road. Feel better than just doing standstill throwing as I'm also refining simplicity of the xstep, less shuffling. 2. Working on planting toes on rear leg to avoid hips...

    Review by g00p in course Terramont Park - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Enjoyable shared course, well done Lots of elevation changes Challenging narrow entrances to basket area Variety of elevation seriously challenges the Texas player, as we normally don't get this amount of elevation changes Need to be careful and considerate of other park goers as it is a shared...

    [Selling] CE TEEBIRD 9+/10

    What makes this so valuable? Just asking as I'm new to this. I have a Champion TyeDye Teebird, but those are only $15.

    Discing down adventures.

    This is an awesome thread....zombie thread live again! I hit approx 300 ft this weekend with my putter for the first time. I'm seeing improvements now that I'm focusing on a straight line pullback. Do you guys feel I'd rob myself of progress if I used a putter and a mid, or should I only use...

    The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

    My first disc dye. Turned a Roc3 I had that was scuffed up into an Alien Roc3. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Minor bleeding, but I expected due to issues with contact paper bunching at top. After doing this by hand, I see the benefit of plotter! :)

    My quest to improve my casual playing to a better level

    Great recommendation. I worked on straight line pullback with turning only 90 degrees instead of 180. I hit 300 ft with my Anode putter, so I'd say that's an improvement! Biggest issue I have to work on is stop strong arming, and focus on straight line on reachback to snap with nose down...

    Discs for young player

    For my 3 year old I bring an Aerobie ring :-) Your daughter can probably handle more, but I think it's frustrating for a very young child to see their dad through 200 ft and they get 30 if lucky. I try to make it fun for him and a 3 year old can hit over 40ft with a little practice. Just...

    My quest to improve my casual playing to a better level

    This helped during practice. I focused on a truly straight line, and this ends up allowing much more whip

    Drive Critique Analysis

    hoTXYuOe3EI Posted for my friend. What recommendations for improvement? Ended up being a great throw, a little beyond the basket, but he'd like to be consistent in this as well as probably lower the flight to a straight laser, instead of a higher throw with faded drop at end. Current...
