    Review by lowesengineer in course Morehart Park

    4.00 star(s) Course Has Changed I have played this course before and it has changed drastically. It has become a fun course to play which is very different to the prior layout. This new layout will challenge your game. One thing they did not change and I'm not sure what they would do to fix it is the...

    Review by lowesengineer in course Live Oak - Lake Course

    1.00 star(s) Pretty Disappointing This park has huge potential to have several great layouts as it is a huge park with plenty of terrain changes and plenty of trees to create a great layout or two. There are tee pads all over the place with one sign in the whole park. At least that we could find. This...

    Film from the back!

    Foot Position It hit me a few weeks ago hard about the position of your feet which you talk about above. If I let the rear foot open backward even slightly on a one step it allows my body to lean back instead of turn back. Once that happens, it all goes crazy. If I keep the rear foot turned...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    Can't tell you how much that thumbs up means to me. Now to get some video and see if I can do what I can now say.

    I Need a Little More Distance

    I have had a few breakthrough moments over the past few weeks that I thought would be worth sharing. I broke the holder off my tripod so I can’t really get any video until I get that fixed, but want to get some feedback to see that I am not headed down another dead end road. My tendency when...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    New Video I can't seem to get to the field these days as the weather won't cooperate in any of the cities that I wind up in each week. I did shoot this at lunch and I am not sure that it can be analyzed, but I hope someone will see something that has improved or if I am just getting further...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    Safety Tip I am traveling this week so I haven’t been able to shoot any videos of me making a mockery of solid form. Instead however I have been working diligently in the hotel room in the evening grooving my swing. I encountered something last night that I thought might be valuable to some...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    Gut Check Thanks for the advice all. You are right, the drills are there, I just need to do them more until the moves are ingrained. At some point they will start showing in the video but I guess I am a little impatient. Is there a pill I can take? Hmmm. Guess not. Thanks Everyone.

    I Need a Little More Distance

    I like the visual cue. Seems to be working here in the hotel room. I'll have to give that a try in the field tomorrow. I think when I get the weight shift right it will straighten the plane out. Or are you saying that is just a result of taking the disc back too high?

    I Need a Little More Distance

    New Video The OAT is getting better, but the swing looks terrible. I am somehow starting the entire swing by leaning my head forward and that puts the swing on a terrible plane. From that point on it just gets worse. Any drills or something to work on to force me to keep my head behind my...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    I can't tell you how correct you are. My disc is nose up so bad. I am looking directly at the disc when I take it back and I can tell it is going to be nose up the second I start forward. The problem is I don't see that until I look at the video. I got so frustrated that I quit throwing...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    I took a little time at lunch to experiment a bit with my turn back and what is going on with the twisting and turning of the disc I am doing during that turn back. I threw for 30 minutes over a park bench that had a high back that forced me to keep my arm up. Now that is a quick way to learn...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    I just want to ensure I am thinking of this correctly. Would the disc ride along the wall, or would it be the outside of my hand gripping the disc? I like the idea of the slow movements over and over, but I don't think I want to train my mind to drag the disc through vs. being on the outside...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    New Video What???? Is that me pulling a disc through at nip height? I think it may be. THREE hours in the field concentrating on nothing but ensuring that I pull the disc through at the right height and I finally made it happen. That is despite the fact that my front foot is still opening up...

    I Need a Little More Distance

    Solid stuff. I am in the field today so long as the thunderstorms will hold off. Thanks for all the help.
