    Review by millsbury in course Southern Community Park

    4.00 star(s) This course has come a long way, with three varying pin placements on nearly all holes thanks to hardworking volunteers. Some holes are hard to get in three! As of 1/28/14 pins are mostly in long positions, but there are birdie holes and it is possible to shoot under par. Any easy course to play...

    so i set a personal distance record today...

    Wow one day registered on DGR and I've already started a flame war:( How is attempting to improve driving distance not DG related? You have your logic and I hear it, but I'm disagreeing that you would see those RESULTS. And I fear one might build up bad habits, i.e. off-axis torque etc. that...

    so i set a personal distance record today...

    Hmm not to be controversial--but I pretty much completely disagree with this post! (I'm not a pro but I can throw 400' with some accuracy, and 350 with pretty consistent accuracy, and more importantly 300 with a lot of accuracy) In my experience learning to apply torque in a controlled way to...

    [Innova] Mako?

    My star mako is MUCH flippier than my Z buzzz. (both pretty new.) Good compliment actually, will take different lines. Mako is easy to throw very far or throw a long anheiser--just holds it--seems more predictable on the anny actually.

    [Innova] is Innova's DX plastic, is it even worth it?

    I disagree with the speed thing somewhat....Champion Leopard is my absolute favorite disc and it's only a speed 6. I don't even own a DX one. But I like 'em pretty stable and I like them to stay the same for a long time--I carry a small bag and like to have a 'money' disc I know/love. I pretty...

    FW Driver that can be used as a Dist. Driver?

    CHAMPION LEOPARD It will have will have much more LSS than you think, and although slow the Leo loves to glide. In this plastic is just so consistent.

    Gap between putting and throwing

    Playing catch is good advice. Practice throwing softly, nose slightly up, with lots of spin. On open holes I usually just throw a hyzer to 'go for it' on shots past 80 feet. 40-80 feet work on a high aneiser shot that will fall back, to give it a chance to go in but not blow past it.

    My KC Pro Roc flies like a brick

    Just keep the roc for more overstable shots OR get a newer shark for those shots. New/heavy or premium plastic sharks are about as stable as rocs anyway. I assume the shark you currently use is DX and somewhat broken in?

    Play with yourself

    Carry only 1 disc (star aviar putter for me in this case) or 2 or three (putter, champ leopard.) Sprint every hole for a workout. Throwing putter only rounds makes me throw my drivers farther the next time out with the whole bag.

    Best straight flying/slightly understable Mid?

    DX Shark or any plastic Coyote seem like obvious omissions from this list! I currently throw DX Rancho Roc for this shot though. You can't go wrong with any of these, throw what you know.

    Importance of Stretching

    This myth may be busted: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/sports/playmagazine/112pewarm.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink Thorough physical warmup is the key, simply stretching may actually weaken the muscles you intend to use. Since reading this I've made a point of warming up...

    Teebird / Eagle-x

    If both are champion very little difference in stability. If you're just flipping everything I really doubt a disc change will give you more success/accuracy/scoring in a tournament. Clearly working out the technique issue is the solution--bring all your drivers to a field and keep flicking...

    ideal disc golf physique

    Anybody else seen that Wiggins kid throw? Size simply does not matter. To the OP, I'd say you lost some muscle is all and/or lack energy from hunger!
