I'm 53 and I transitioned several years ago to playing mostly FH due to chronic shoulder pain from years of playing baseball in high school and college. I struggled mostly because I didn't put in the field work on FH form (I have since). I also struggled because I wanted to stick with Excaliburs...

Yes, most definitely. I now play with G* Thunderbirds (9) and Star Teebirds (7) as my drivers. Easy, smooth, relaxed. 450' drives? Not likely. 300'-350' on the line I expected? Yep and I'll take those all day long.

Immediate results:

4.00 star(s) Great fun A shot-maker's course, not just bombing and putting. Well-wooded (in a good way). Good elevation changes, fun ravine shots. Most holes have several options for playing it. Local club is doing a good job with upkeep - tough location for bringing in materials, so improvements take time...

I think the Discraft description of the Crank SS provides some insight: "Just because you don't have a lot of power, doesn't mean you don't deserve more distance! Crank SS was designed to deliver significantly more distance for low-power throwers."

4.00 star(s) Best course in Waterloo area - Excellent signage - Concrete pads, all in good condition - 27 total holes - First 9 are pretty good, several where water is a factor, multiple lines available on most. - Middle 9 are easily the highlight of course, several demand one particular shape (good to have...

3.50 star(s) Fun course, KUDOS to designer - Extremely easy to get to (right off interstate) - Concrete pads - Good signage - Excellent use of elevation changes - Most holes provide multiple lines - Pro/am pads on most (maybe all) holes - Good baskets - Several elevated tees and baskets - always a cool...

1.50 star(s) Dated 9-holer - Concrete tee pads - Baskets in serviceable condition (old, but serviceable) - Good place for beginners to get introduced to game without risk of losing discs - Short layout, little technical challenge - Significant drainage issues make course unplayable even after the lightest of...

Sure, just like the average 25 year old. :rolleyes:

Some of these numbers in this thread are just amazing! My son and I did a 90 hole day a couple summers ago (5 different courses in and around Des Moines, IA). My shoulder told me the next day we possibly played one course too many, but I will gladly trade a sore shoulder any day for a fun day...

I recently added a Gstar Thunderbird to my bag as a replacement for a DX which met a rather untimely and quite watery demise. The Gstar Thunderbird is my go-to now. Love the feel, incredible glide, handles the wind really well. I will admit I still have one DX Thunderbird in the bag for BH...

I'm a RH player who has been putting left foot forward for a couple years now (after many more years with right foot forward). It works better for me because of a couple things: 1) I practice it. A lot. As in almost every day, somewhere around 50+ putts from 15' and back. I've always been one to...
