Reviews from newer/less advanced players can be invaluable to other newer/less advanced players. Most of us aren't actually very good so having a variety of perspectives is helpful. How fun your round is likely to be can have a lot to do with how the course difficulty lines up with your skill...

They're for more than just right turns (RHBH). I like throwing with a hyzer release. Under stable discs are great for long straight shots when thrown that way. I also like using them for left-turning shots where I want a long gradual curve. My feeling is that you can make an under stable...

Putt'r :hfive:

I'm with you. Seems like a great way to overthink it and mess yourself up. Pick a line and a disc and then throw the disc on that line.

I played college 2005-2009 and club since then.

Then I tell everybody that I totally meant to do that and it counts as a putt:D. That's why my % tends to go down with distance but I'm miraculously 100% from about 50ft and out. In reality though, I try to avoid ever doing "half runs." For me, they pretty much never go in if I don't commit...

I'm with you. It's about intent. If I'm trying to make it in it's a putt unless it's off of the tee in which case it's by definition a drive.

I only use a run up if I'm trying for max D. Otherwise, years of playing ultimate have made a standing throw the most comfortable and consistent for me. It also has the added bonus of requiring less space and being less sensitive to unfavorable terrain. I can't imagine being very consistent...

I think you all are agreeing. Hosting worlds takes lots of volunteer hours. Emporia has the volunteer base and willingness to host but to make it challenging for the pros requires tons of OB. You wouldn't need all the OB if you could do it someplace else but nowhere else seems interested in...

Is that near Seattle? I'm actually going to be up that way in July.

That was a very interesting read and I thought the comments were constructive as well. I especially liked the idea of adding river rocks or other unstable footing to add difficulty to the subsequent shot without a stroke penalty as a way to increase granularity. Of course, that's potentially...

My pulsar experience was opposite. The 2 I've thrown were definitely more stable than an UltraStar. That was consistent with everything I heard from players in the MLU (RIP) as well. Maybe you got a weird one?

Does anyone else change their grip based on how hard you're trying to throw it? I slowly transition from a fan to a power grip. I do this basically unconsciously and I do this both for disc golf discs as well as ultimate.

Take the base off and stack things under it to achieve desired height for "downhill" putts. Leave the base on ans stack things under it for "uphill" putts.:\
