Thank you for the suggestions, especially about the arm becoming a pendulum. I haven't posted an update in a while because I wanted to make some more substantial progress before I did. The main thing I think I have more down now is how the hips power a relaxed arm. Something clicked when I was...

Finally got out to a field. The video includes camera angle from behind as well. They're not the same throw, but I figure it's better than nothing. I wasn't going for max distance in the videos, so I don't think the reachback-balance issue is resolved, though it may look it. This session, I was...

I realized the long-ish grass/soft ground in the first video I sent was messing with my throw. In a way I’m glad though, because it exaggerated my problems. I haven’t been able to get anymore good video yet, but I’ve been working on changes as I can. Thank you everyone for the feedback! I’m...

I’m looking for advice about my timing more than anything, but if you see something that could improve in mechanics too, I’m all ears. My goal is to consistently throw 300ft+. This throw was in a headwind with an Axiom Crave. Went about 260-270 feet, which tends to be my average. My...

At one of my local courses, there are loads of these tiny toads in the mulch on one fairway. They're impossible to spot unless you're looking down when they're hopping. I still have trouble believing their size every time I come across them. Seriously, those light specks on this little one's...

Thank you everyone!! It's fun to share the joy. :D I do indeed like a challenge. The first course I ever played was the Sportsplex in Athens, AL, a 6500ft/60par, so difficult holes were my standard from the get-go. Apex is a good bit shorter, but all the trees make up for it. Buckhorn...

This is no first ace or under-par post, but I’m just so happy about these milestones, I wanted to share their stories somewhere. Before I jump in, I want to preface by saying that I’ve been playing since late March of this year, I never threw a Frisbee before disc golf (that I can remember), and...

Makes sense. Thanks! Ah, alright. I was wondering if had more to do with flat releases. Not sure if I can do that yet. It's hard to tell if I'm truly releasing flat or not without filming myself throw, which I've done a bit of but not with nearly enough good throws to see how I did them.

Yes, very hard to find. Of all the times I've been out to the course, I've only met two women, but they played only casually and I was the one giving them pointers... All the other women I've seen looked like they were just along for the ride with their boyfriends (and would make introducing...

I've never heard anything like this before. I like it! My Valk is only 152g, so I wouldn't have to go buying another disc haha. I actually decided to bag it this evening, and the mids too, for a little field work. I was really encouraged using the Valk. I could throw it mostly straight and got...

This came at the perfect time. I've been needing to practice throwing level and getting the disc's nose down. They're two of my sticky points at the moment. No, I haven't been to Bethesda. I've been meaning to check it out though. Thanks for mentioning it! Ah, Kentwood. I went there out of...

Haha! This is the best summary of advice I've yet read. Thanks for the tip about football fields. I'll be looking about for a usable one nearby.

Oh wow, I was not expecting such a kind welcome. Thank you! That’s a good point. I’ll definitely keep it in mind going forward. It also reminds that I tried out my mids a couple weeks ago, and they still weren’t flying more than five feet longer than my putters. I have improved my floppy wrist...

Hello there! I thought I'd stop lingering in the corner and introduce myself on here haha When I first played disc golf, I thought it might be just a phase and I'd quickly move onto other hobbies. It's almost three months later, and here I am, keeping tabs on all the big tournaments and...
