Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm in the same boat you were in earlier; mainly using a sidearm to get out of trouble or an occasional approach shot. I have nothing to add, other than I plan on trying some of the suggestions you mentioned in your post.

I don't think "snap" is defined by simply imparting spin on a disc. You can put a spin on a disc without snapping it at all. Discs can certainly launch at higher speeds than the arm, and this is the point of achieving snap. The force from snap comes from the loading and unloading of the...

Kind of a stretch, but a few years ago I was in Amsterdam with some friends and we played a course that was in a huge city park. My buddy had an errant drive that went off into some woods and as we were looking for it, we found some toilet paper bunched up next to some human waste. Well, as we...

I got this for Christmas and have been using it all year. It's easy to strap to the bag, sounds good, and the bluetooth range is greater than I expected. It's held up fine so far. The ports have rubber covers to keep the elements out, and the edges are cased in rubber as well. With everyone...

I don't throw much fast stuff at all, but I'll throw out another recommendation for the Pro Katana. I know for the big arms this is probably considered a flippy POS, but it works great for my noodle arm. For me it has a nice late turn, whereas most warp speed drivers start to fade for me. It...

I saw that this morning, and they had several D1 and D4s listed as weighing 176 g. Are those even legal, or do these drivers have a wider diameter?

I noticed Cass has been using a backpack fishing bag now, and he said he likes it better than his Revo backpack. Also played with a guy during the Challenge who converted a Dakine (snowboard,skateboard bag) bag like this into a nice golf bag:

How?

I drive a car, it's registered and I pay a gas tax every time I fill up the tank. I also ride my bicycle on many of these same roads. Does that mean my fat ass still doesn't pay for shit? I also was lead to believe that tax money set aside for roads was used for maintenance and repair. Are...

Thanks Wyno. I hadn't really thought about the involvement of the shoulder and torso when writing this post. I may just stick with my bent elbow type throw for now, as it usually provides better results for me personally. I have seen some of our better locals succeed with both types of throw...

Simple question, and it may be a dumb one, but how does a longer reachback benefit a thrower, who we will assume has their timing down (not me)? I've read over and over not to "pull" or accerlate or really do anything until the disc is in the right pec position. I've also read that you do...

Over throw 10 at Ewing by 60 feet?? Sign me up bud! I play in a league on Thursday nights that consists of a many local Des Moines Open players, and despite the old "you have to play with better players to improve" mantra, this year(my 3rd in this league), has been my worst ever. I have...

Well I'm 32, and have been playing this sport for over 10 years, with the last 4 or so being very serious. I have never once experienced this kind of pain in my finger joints. If anything, the only disc golf related finger pain I've experienced before would be caused by friction, such blisters...

LOL @ Jsw! I figured that was coming :lol: Thanks JR. It does feel like I'm getting much more leverage, and based on the lines my discs were flying on, I would definitely consider this a form improvement. I figured this could be the reason I was having that pain, but I wanted make sure...

So lately, I've been having this pain in my 1st and 2nd joints on the index finger of my throwing hand, that I have never experienced before. It's gotten pretty sore during the last 2 throwing sessions, which have been less than an hour due to the heat, :oops: so I'm not overdoing it by any...
