    Review by nitron2097 in course Cliff Stephens Park

    4.00 star(s) "Champ's Turf." 'Nuff said. First thing, right off; it's Ken Climo's home turf. Biggest thumbs up you can possibly get right there. And it's no wonder he got as good as he did playing here all the time. - Very technical course. There are a couple of wide open grip 'n rip opportunities (#1, #2...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Youth Park DGC

    2.50 star(s) Starting to lose what little it had - Not too hard to get to; located close to US 19 and Gandy Blvd. in Pinellas County. - 7-Eleven just down the street from the park. - You can start on hole 1, 8, or 15 and still finish at the parking lot (I start on 15 to get warmed up). - Other park...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Tocobaga DGC

    3.50 star(s) Finally went back! - You literally come off I-275, turn left or right, and you're in the park, and the course is easy to find once you're there thanks to signs indicating where to park. - Very Florida course; lots of scrub palms, shots near the bay, and not a lot of water hazards on course. -...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Taylor Park

    4.50 star(s) The club loves their course! Phenomenal equipment...probably the best in the area. The disc golf club does a great job. Shoe brushes are abundant, and every hole has a great tee sign. At least two pin placements per hole and most have three and some have four. They're also moved a lot, so the...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Picnic Island DGC

    5.00 star(s) New Favorite - The new 18 hole course is the best in Tampa Bay; this place is now everything a tropical disc golf course should be. - I love 1 and 17; these holes play along Tampa Bay and have beach sand fairways. ( ^ _ ^ ) - Big park; lots of other things to do, swimming, working out, hiking...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Oldsmar DGC

    3.50 star(s) Know your skill level before playing - Park is located in a residential neighborhood on a major road between Tampa and Clearwater, so it's not too hard to get to. - Course amenities are good; three tee pads per hole (some of these throw from the same pad but change the par of the hole) and three...

    Review by nitron2097 in course North East Coachman Park

    4.00 star(s) Great Course For Shot Work - Coachman is probably between Cliff and Taylor in terms of difficulty. You don't need "Big D" here, but if you can't hit the fairways, you're in for a long day here. - Brand new tee signs for every hole showing you the distance and line, and there are new benches on...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Hammock Park

    3.50 star(s) Best bud's home turf - Not too far off Alt. 19 in north Pinellas. - The park isn't far off the Pinellas Trail so if you're local you can bike or walk here. - Close to the coast and just a quick drive from Palm Harbor or Clearwater and a stone's throw from downtown Dunedin which is a really nice...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Azalea Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) Local Park Course - Pretty centrally located on 22 Ave. just off 66 St. and Tyrone, so it's near main drags. - LOTS of food and shopping with Tyrone Mall two minutes away and the Dick's there has disc golf stuff. - Decent amount of parking. - The course is in a rec-center type of park so there...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Edward Medard Park

    3.00 star(s) "Are you sure this is Florida?" The layout was spacious on the front nine, with quite a few grip 'n rip opportunities (#1, #2, and #9 especially). Hole 5 is gnarly. You have to either tomahawk over the trees on the left to a totally blind basket (despite what the tee sign says, you can't drive...

    [Innova] Firefly

    I have a pair of Fireflies. I got my first one right after they came out and I really like it so I got a second one. I had been putting with DX Aviars and wanted something a little stiffer but with that same tackiness and this Nexus plastic nails it. I have not thrown it; only use it for...

    Review by nitron2097 in course Cypress Point Park

    2.50 star(s) Epic course; thanks, 'Champ!' This was the first time I've played a brand new course since Ed Medard. You'll throw every disc in the bag and get tested every shot. Roller approaches, thumbers, annys, spikes... Kenny and Patrick used all the land they had. Nice mix of pars and a good variance in...

    How many midranges have you owned/thrown before finding the one?

    I like to keep a couple different mids in my bag. My short game is the most important part of my game since I'm not the most consistent putter and I don't drive with epic power. However, I'm amazing from 150 feet and in since I do field work all the time and work my upshots. Here's what I use...

    tomahawk approach shots

    Really, the only thing I use for OH shots is my 172 KC Firebird, and I use more of a thumber grip right handed and normally only to go over bushes and stuff. I can release it right above my head about 1 o'clock, and it'll blast out of my hand, flip almost 270 degrees, then stall and fall...

    Lookin' for a flick disc...

    I hear you on love for the Krait. I had a 155 in my bag for a while until the DD2 came out in Blizzard; I'm using that for distance shots now... I can hyzer-flip it backhand and stretch it to about 350' depending on the snap. I'm still going to keep throwing my backhand flips mostly, but...
