    PDGA ratings are up. How'd you do?

    Your most recent 25% of rated rounds are weighted double to make your rating more relevant. Examples: If you have 8 rated rounds. The most recent 2 of those will be weighted double. So then you are actually taking the average of 10 rounds. If you have 16 total rated rounds, then you would have...

    [Question] Disc Rating Differences- what physical difference?

    I can't give any scientific support or reasoning but here are some general observations: - Rim width = speed of the disc - wider rim is a faster disc - Higher dome usually equals more glide - Wing profile and shape from mold to mold affect stability (haven't noticed any specific trends) -...

    [Question] If you were sponsored, whose discs would you throw?

    Discraft, but I'd have to part with my current Fairway lineup and putters if that were the case.

    Illianasconsinigan Members (Part III)

    Squaw Creek Showdown at Fairfield just took place two weekends ago (Aug. 13-14). To my knowledge there won't be anymore tournaments at Fairfield this year. Not sure about Gray Fox and/or Cold Turkey.

    where to look, or closed eyes

    I throw 95% of my tee shots FH. I like to pick a target off in the distance and lock in on it. Easier FH than BH. If I consciously feel my eyes shift during my throw its usually a bad throw. If I look at or think about that one tree off the fairway that I don't want to hit I usually throw...

    Fade gear bags

    Just got a Go-Cart and dug out my Fade Tourney bag from 2010 to use with it. Its got some wear and tear, but still fully functional. Would highly recommend Fade Bags. Awesome value for what you pay for them.

    [Question] A Pro-D Stratus is good forrrr?

    I carry one in Elite X plastic and I am a RHFH player. I use it as my understable mid. If you can flick Buzzes well it works as a really nice line carving compliment. I think the little extra speed makes it more consistent for me than slower understable mids. It excels at hyzer flip to...

    Hyzer Flip Reversed?

    Flippy = Understable in my book. I use the terms interchangeably

    Course round ratings

    The rating system uses a field of propagators (PDGA members with 8 or more rated rounds) during a tournament to determine the SSA (1000 rated round) for a given round. The course itself doesn't factor into the actual math equation, its simply a vehicle to produce a set of results to create an...

    [Innova] FH Roc Flight Question

    It sounds like some sort of mental block to me. Have you tried throwing your Rocs exactly like your Comets? Sometimes when I am throwing more overstable mids and putters I naturally throw harder or faster trying to achieve the desired flight line with the knowledge that they are overstable...

    [Innova] Any pros throw the Boss?

    I heard through the grapevine that Feldberg actually threw Destroyers when he was with Innova, he just wanted his signature disc to be the Boss because he knew Innova would sell a lot of them providing him with more royalty $$$$. Not sure if its true though.

    How do we help grow Disc Golf?

    Viridisk, loved the footage and the presentation, thanks for your hard work. I am curious if you will be putting the first round up? If I remember correctly, there were several holes that were filmed with the drone in the air. I'd love to see some of that footage.

    Thumber/Tomahawk Advice

    Adding onto this, I've noticed overstable discs fly a tighter line and understable discs get more left to right action during the pan. You can also alter how fast or slow a disc pans by adjusting the angle of release. Thumbers are much easier to get the full pan, for me at least. When I...

    PDGA ratings are up. How'd you do?

    Do they offer trophy only option in your area? I know our local series offers trophy only or half-in options to make playing tournaments more affordable. I am able to play Open half-in for $28.00. Pretty good deal if you ask me. My rating is climbing again, went from 950 to 957. Hopefully...
