Wildlife Prairie Park DGC outside Peoria. Being that I've only played less than a dozen courses, it might not be all that 'extreme' by some standards, but it was long, and brutal, and the steep trails, slick from rain and wet autumn leaves were treacherous in spots. I've done a lot of hiking...

I lost it. I WAS super bummed. And the Fuzion version I tried to replace it with just wasn't the same. I'm bagging a Star Teebird now to replace it, but still love that disc.

I have worn hiking boots since I began play. Before I started Disc Golf, I liked weekend hiking (8-ish mile hikes). I don't remember the brand of my last pair, but I recently replaced them with Merrell Moab Mid height hikers. I seem to recall they were about $60. Very reasonable. My hubby tries...

I have a concern I wanted to voice. It's kind of been in the back of my head for a few days. Those of us throwing from a standing position get to release a lot of the post-throw energy via rotation. We just keep turning. JBCHyzer, I'm concerned about the limit of motion you might experience at...

Sorry for the double post, but here's the 2016 'In The Bag' video for Philo. It should give you a great look at 'Mold Minimalism'. He only carries Aviars, Rocs, Teebirds, Firebirds, and Destroyers, but multiples of each in different plastics and states of wear. chbbQ91HLZ4

This is pretty common. Not only carrying multiples of the same disc in different plastics, but carrying multiples of the same mold in the SAME plastic, but different states of wear. There's even a philosophy of bagging as few molds as possible, so you only have to be used to the 'feel' of a few...

The Truth is not exactly a 'straight flyer'. I've owned 4. All of them had very good, reliable fade. The one I bag though has VERY strong fade, more than a 180g Champion Roc3. In the initial portion of their flight, they're straight (when thrown at the proper speed), but that's the norm...

I don't think I've got loads to add that's new, but this is a disc that is important to me and my game. As a newish player, I don't have crushing armspeed/power, so fairway drivers are my bread and butter driver. In order of most 'neutral' to stable, I'd say FD, TL, TL3, Thief. The Thief was...

I went out on the course today, and tried a sitting forehand. My legs were straight out in front of me, so they were somewhat in my way, and after three throws (anny shanked the first two into the ground), my third was 110'. I've never tried this shot before, but I think it illustrates that...

I bag 14 I have 10 spares then I have a number of 'shared' discs with my hubby. About another 25 or so. So I say about 50. To be fair, an older player just handed me a stack of 15 beater discs the other day. Also... discinfiend... wow. That's a lot of discs. TOO many, really. Out of the...

No Problem. Putters, I already throw gateway. RFF Wizard SS Magic My Mako3 gets replaced by an evolution Element Overstable Roc3/Truth gets replaced by Evolution Blaze Fairway is going to be... a low weight Saber in sure grip, beat in for understable drives, which is what I already have an...

Yeah, I picked those discs from the ones you listed earlier in the thread. I'm not sure which of those three might work best. The Shark, depending on weight, might not handle forehands well. I'm fairly certain the Roc will, and the Truth MIGHT. I've heard people say their Truths are less stable...

Super Soft Magic for putter Lucid Truth for Mid Star Teebird for distance Starlite Sidewinder for extra

JBCHyzer, you're throwing from a chair, right? Can you throw forehand? I've found when I'm most isolated in movement (bad lie, stuck in a bush, whatever), I can get the best distance from forehand flicks with very little body movement outside my shoulder, elbow, and wrist of my throwing arm. I...

My Lucid Truth It goes straight, far, and fades dependably and not too strongly. It holds level in headwind, forehand and backhand. It holds hyzer well at 60-70% power. It is... not great but not atrocious at annys. I lose 25-40' over my longest drivers. I lose essentially nothing at putting...
