    The SW22 Swim Move

    My (perhaps limited) understanding of the 'left arm load' by McBest we're discussing here is that it positions the right shoulder correctly over the right (brace) leg. Feldberg discusses it at the 7:00 mark here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHy227OYGP0 He doesn't necessarily tell us how...

    [Question] What one disc doesn't exist that you really want?

    :thmbup: After watching McBooster mash his Thunderbird on a 400 foot plus rope at Ledgestone I decided to actually try to throw mine straight. I had only been using it for spike hyzers for 12+ months because of lack of skill/arm speed. Long story short, this type of seasoning may be a tasty...

    Anyones disc golf course overrun by Pokemon Go-ers driving around the course?

    I saw my first PokeZombies at league last night!! Totally oblivious to their surroundings but at least they were outside walking about. (Sorta like my disc golf game :|) You do realize the primary function of forums such as this one is intelligence gathering by the government? Look about...

    How I broke the 500 foot barrier

    I had to channel my inner lawyer to get through some of the WFDF rulebook... I think all discs PDGA approved pass the 1/16" radius test. I think you meant field events require a higher rim configuration rating? WFDF says 75 or higher if I read that right. I've seen a list of PDGA approved...

    How I broke the 500 foot barrier

    Good to know! Couldn't find any info about it online. I'll reflect that info in the vid description. Do you have any links or other info on the disc specs to be used for the throw? Do they have a wind limit as well?

    How I broke the 500 foot barrier

    If it helps me throw the bird 50 feet farther then I confess my words will be delicious. We shall see :)

    How I broke the 500 foot barrier

    I hear you. You seem tenacious enough to reach your goals, that's for sure. Yes, we want to be injury free and throw for a bajillion miles, but no matter how careful and how correct and how certain we are of our mechanics, our next throw could be our last :\ It's the nature of the finite...

    How I broke the 500 foot barrier

    World Class Result = World Class Effort Bumps and bruises are part of the game. Learn from my mistakes. If someone wants to just tip long-neckers back and throw 200 foot drives, it's all good... I'll be there one day, my days are surely numbered. Until then as an old Chinese man said, "...

    How I broke the 500 foot barrier

    Thanks, let's hope! I didn't expect to see that high swing plane when I watched the video, that's for sure :) One bit I want to reiterate (and I'm speaking in the context of max type throws like the video) is that I don't pull on the disc until it's at the right pectoral. I accelerate it into...
