4.00 star(s) Ball golf converted to disc golf It's a ball course converted to disc golf, which gave it a unique and pretty neat feel. Most of the baskets were nestled into some trees or at least had you going through or around trees to get near it. Clearly marked mandatories that added some good obstacles...

3.50 star(s) Short, Wooded & Challenging. Beautiful scenery up the Payson Canyon. There is a creek that comes into play on a few holes. It was very shallow when I went in early October, so losing a disc there seemed unlikely. Good elevation changes and great use of the trees to make these short holes...

Oh, okay. So you really do align your shoulders left of target. 45 degrees left according the video. This is going to be very strange, but all this elbow leading snap stuff makes a lot of sense. Never really understood how to get snap before. I think you found a video of a guy in a packer's...

Wow. That's brilliant. I never would have noticed that. That article explains it all so clearly too. Beato drill with the hand on the outside is going to be my focus for the next while. Thanks.

Closing my stance means to have my feet closer together And the front foot should be closer to the left side of the pad... Does that mean my legs shouldn't be inline with the target, but off to the left of the target? Maybe a picture or diagram would clear that one up for me. The beato drill...

For the original thread, check here: Original Thread Throws from August 17th 1DtOopNkCe0 So it's been 6 weeks since I've thrown anything but midranges (Cobra and Shark) and putters (Dart & Omega) from a standstill. I noticed a few weeks ago that my cobra wasn't fading anymore and that I can...

Quick answers to questions: all of my discs are DX at the moment. I tried a champion wraith, but I couldn't get enough speed on it. It faded early and hard, as you all can probably guess. As for the putter, maybe it's me. I always threw too low with my dart. I'd hit the pole constantly. With...

haha, funny you mention that. I am doing just that right now. I did go out for lunch today and just throw as far as I could and I was actually throwing my Valkyrie further than my other drivers. Been doing the midrange/putter for about 2 weeks now, but I was curious if I'd improved at all. The...

I know the two extremes to the spectrum are using 1 disc (usually a midrange) for everything and buying a lot of discs and switching between discs all the time. As a beginner I'm wondering if I'm balanced or not. I'm trying not to get discs that overlap, or behave similarly to each other. In my...

Hmm. I get what you're saying. It makes a lot of sense. That's going to take a great deal of practice. It's all great stuff, but probably going to take a lot longer than a week or two. I will continue working on this and slowly reworking the x-step back into my game. That'll probably take the...

I'd think you'd want to look at the target before you release. I can see losing the target for a bit during the reach back, but during the pull through you could be looking at the target. I'm not trying to argue, I just think it sounds difficult to release on time if you are looking down through...

Thanks Asian Style. I was going to try starting out from a standing throw and working my way back up to an x-step. It just seems like the right way to go to fix everything. That video helps a lot. The left shoulder back should get my back arm out of the way. Do you really want to keep your head...

I noticed my back arm over the disc with that video too. Didn't realize I was doing that. I don't do it every time, but it's often enough I should focus on it more. I'll try to work on my hips/shoulders/arms this week. Thanks for helping me out! I really appreciate it.

Well, after a week of working on the suggestions, here is a video of 2 throws. OLVBorW2xA0 I struggled early on in the week trying to correct so many things at once, so I focused more on cleaning up the footwork first. I tried not to lean back during my run up and taking a shorter, more...

Thanks! Judging from the first two posts, I think I need to work on my reach back (not reaching back/leaning back so far), pull through (bending the elbow), and cleaning up my footwork to get my balance and weight transfer down better. J think this will help quite a bit. I'll try to work on that...
