This is one of my favorite posts I have ever seen on this board.

I would have been fine waiting a bit longer for my bag if it would have helped out in the big picture. One of the main reasons I chose GB (twice now) is not only the great product, but also supporting a company that is true to the game. If a longer wait benefits GB in the long run, I could live...

Buying a GB bag is not something you regret doing. Just get it over with and join the UPS stalkers.

These are some great thoughts in addition to your original post! I wasn't trying to be argumentative, just curious. Since I pretty much had to relearn everything I ever knew about disc golf last year, much of the challenges of initial disc selection are still fresh in my mind. I really like...

So I tallied up the responses so far just for fun. Here are the results to the question of which disc gets the most compliments when you throw it? Most Complimented Discs 8 Comet 7 Roc 5 Buzzz 4 Ion 4 Wizard 3 Fuse 3 TeeBird 3 Stratus 3 Aviar 3 River 2 Katana 2 Leopard 2 Epic 2 Flick 2 Beast 2...

I haven't had any problems with the insoles on the Moabs, but I have been somewhat disappointed with the Vibram soles. I bought mine new in June of last year (2010) and will be surprised if they make it much past a full year. I have probably averaged 3-4 rounds per week over the 10 months of...

While you can get a decent sized bag for about $50, that doesn't mean it's really the best bang for your buck. If you are a relatively serious golfer who plays several rounds a week, you want to put your money into a bag that will last. I personally can't recommend Gorilla Boy enough. For $100...

Yep, and if you like your Roc you should just get a few more. Since you have the arm, you would probably find some max weight Rocs a nice addition to the bag. As they beat it you will have a very nice disc selection for your mid range throws. Also, you may want to look into another putter that...

Being that the question is what is the PERFECT range for driving distance, I would say +450'. Obviously, if you are facing a typical long par 3 and you can only drive 300' then you have almost no chance of the bird. This would not be perfect. Almost everyone agrees that distance without accuracy...

So, this idea of a considerably less stable but still stable ESP Pred is increasingly appealing to me. I have been playing quite a bit lately with the bag mentioned in the OP and still haven't found any noticeable gaps. The only potential problem is moderate, but not extremely strong, headwinds...

I think you are describing the Cam Todd style. Naturally, we have to push a bit from the back leg first to generate the forward motion. Feldberg starts in the athletic position (knees bent), then rocks back until the front leg is straight, and then drives forward into the hit. There is also a...

Okay, so I moved into the push putting camp quite a while back, but have really struggled to find consistency in my form. It seems like every week I change something and end up starting all over. I think I have figured out the upper body portion of the putt, but am still trying to decide exactly...

I played this course several times when I lived in Dallas. The hole is definitely at least 377' and I believe that picture is a little older because I remember those tree canopies being a little larger now. You have to have a pretty good arm to get the hyzer all the way around the trees. In...

To be fair to your baseline plastic, you should have at least a couple in the bag to rotate through. Keep your putting putters for just putts, and then start rotating the approach/drive ones through. As they get beat, work a newer (more stable) one into the mix and pretty soon you will have all...

That's a good point. I think the reason people are so surprised by the Fuse is they expect something faster that fades hard at the end. Instead, they watch a slow but smooth disc hold a straight line all the way to the pin. A lot of my friends have been surprised at what it's able to accomplish...
