Love the mold (I have 12), but like others I've found them to lose some stability and develop some turn rather quickly, regardless of plastic. I've added Villains to my bag but still keep two Saint Pros bagged as well. While a bit faster and longer, for me the Villains are more reliably stable...

I've been experimenting with an Opto Claymore as a replacement for the last non-trilogy disc in my bag, an ESP Comet. So far it seems to hold any angle it's thrown on up to about 325' or so, much like the Comet did for me. Mine doesn't quite seem to match the Inbounds flight as I don't get much...

Err, I meant to write "heel of the leading foot" there...ugh... Not sure exactly what point you're discussing here because all i said was there was a point in my form on a good throw where the heel slams into the ground and I feel like I'm in something resembling a modified horse stance for a...

Then that isn't a horse stance :) Sure, I've done some weightlifting previously (Stronglifts 5x5, etc) and for the squat you absolutely want the position you mention to generate maximum upward power, but that's not exactly the same as what we want for disc golf is it? To clarify, I'm not...

By itself, yes, it's used to strengthen your legs, back and core... but a lot of kata (sequences of techniques strung together) flow through various stances, including the horse stance, sometimes for just fractions of a second, just like the various positions in a disc golf runup and drive...

I should add that as it relates to disc golf I'm thinking more of a modified horse stance, probably not as wide as a lot of the photos you'll see and knees not bent as much, but still with your weight very centered and very much "grounded" in place.. With sufficient leg, back and core strength...

Here you go! ;)

ok, I follow what you're saying and the SEQUENCE and throwing motion definitely have elements of the the front stance and hammer fist like you describe, but I still maintain that there is that moment when throwing backhand where the leading foot of your heel slams into the ground that for me...

Ok, for you sports scientists and form analysis masters amongst us, do you feel that the martial arts horse stance is a good approximation to what your form should look like when you start your pull? I went through another frustrating timing/balance/form battle recently, and while trying to...

This link doesn't work for me, and I can't seem to find any other reference to this course...?

I used Udisc+ on a Nexus7 wifi tablet to record rounds for a while, until I was away for a tournament and without Internet access for several days and it refused to launch for my second round because it couldn't "phone home" and authenticate... according to the developer the Android version has...

Thanks for the info guys! Looking forward to getting out there!

Rocky Mountain National Park will always be my first love, and Grand Tetons are awesome as well... never done the Sierras but I'm hoping to thru-hike the PCT in a couple years and will be doing lots of section hikes and backpacking trips to prepare. Good to know! Is there an active club with a...
