    Shifting correctly makes bracing easy

    Hey if your ok with the wrong answer that's your problem. I was just trying to help so the math actually worked out correctly. FYI in the real world if you mix units like that and don't correct for it bad things happen, google the mars rover incident.

    Shifting correctly makes bracing easy

    Please stop mixing units, without some much fancier footwork lbs and kg cannot be used in the same formula like this, need to be consistent with either metric or English, lbs is a force, kg is a mass, metric equivalent of force is newton. This just hurts my head trying to follow this. Try...

    Do we need a disc golf NATO?

    I think this could be a great idea actually. It could include a repository of information that was already researched on the national level as well as guidelines on what research needs to be done on local levels for things that get courses pulled (erosion, safety, behavior etc.). The database...

    How to get people to volunteer

    I honestly didn't expect this much of a response. Lots of good ideas here. There has been talk locally about discounting tournament entries based on number of hours logged. I feel like that is a pretty good idea. I also really like the adopt a hole idea. That puts some pride at stake, maybe...

    How to get people to volunteer

    I was curious what parts of the country/city has the best volunteer presence % of the total local dg community. What do they do different to get those people? Seems like its difficult to get people out to volunteer and was looking for a tried and true formula. I feel like it is a culture...

    Ledgestone 2017

    Based on what the park is used for I am pretty sure of the answer to this but I will ask anyway. Is there any thought or possibility of making Eureka temp into an additional 18 at Eureka as a permanent course? This tournament is great every year and I enjoy watching but it is a shame that with...

    Do you remove flashing?

    On a few putters I have bought the flashing was in the exact wrong place for my grip. So much so that it was causing my finger to bleed due to the release. Yes I did remove that flashing but in general, no I don't.

    Thank you for all the advice, ended up getting a very nice basket from MVP that we will be raffling off and got it at a great deal!

    Flipping something versus forcing an Anny

    First things first, they aren't the same shot at all. A forced anny will either pan out into a really far shot on the anny line (forcing something moderately overstable over) or it will hold the line for a limited amount of time and S out coming back hyzer. A hyzerflipped shot starts on a...

    basket advice

    I am helping set up a fundraiser tournament with a raffle. I suggested a basket as the big prize. I am looking for a decent quality basket for under $100 that people would actually like to win. Others in the group running it found a basket at Costco for ~70, I know these baskets are no good...

    What are your go to discs?

    90% of all shots on the course are handled by buzz (mid straight), champ xd (short and straight), beat to snot dx xd(upshots<100'/putts). most courses have almost all shots 250-325 and those discs cover everything I need in that range.

    Hubs

    So what's between a mecca and a hub, I wouldn't necessarily consider Peoria a Mecca but there at least 3-4 high quality courses in the area (McNaughton, Eureka, Morton(northwoods and Megiddo) and Wildlife) that I think raise it above the standard of a basic hub.

    Hubs

    Hey, that's just what makes sense to me, if you have a better way to define by all means, have at it. :thmbup:

    Hubs

    Mecca indicates several high quality courses whereas hub seems to indicate just a large number of courses with no bearing on quality.
