    Looking for hands-on help

    You might consider an online form critique by Will Schusterick over at http://www.discgolfinstruction.com/. I did it and have to say I'm really thrilled with the feedback I received - very helpful.

    Line pulling contraption

    Thanks for the reply - lots to try to absorb. There's something I don't quite understand about this picture. When I look at the good example (top half), it looks to me like the thrower is engaging too early, never getting the disc into the power pocket. I'm guessing there's something I've...

    Line pulling contraption

    Let me start by saying that my form leaves a lot to be desired. With that out of the way... I’ve watched all the videos and practiced all the drills, and I still could not break the rounding habit. Hell, I didn’t even know for sure what rounding felt like - or what a could throw should feel...

    Line pulling contraption

    I’ll be the first to agree that he can be difficult at times (he’s always willing to speak his mind), but he also provides a lot of good information. He’s written some solid blog posts at http://https://www.vorticasport.com/blog.

    Line pulling contraption

    I recently made a Mobius Line Puller and it has definitely helped me out. It gave me the opportunity to feel how my body should be moving when pulling the line. Within a week of using the MLP, I threw my longest drive ever during fieldwork and started seeing increased turn in my discs. I’m...

    Can I get some feedback on my form?

    A couple of thoughts: Consider taking shorter steps, especially the x-step and last step. You should be stepping sideways, not walking backwards. Pay attention to the last part of your reach back. The first 75% looks good - all shoulder rotation. The last 25% looks like you are pulling the...

    BH Throw- Pull thru your core or across your chest?

    I think Paul McBeth's form here is a good example. b4kU7cwgnLA

    BH Throw- Pull thru your core or across your chest?

    Regardless of where you pull through, the most important factors are getting your hips engaged to get the disc into your power pocket before you pull with your arm. If you focus on keeping a tight, compact motion, ensuring the nose is down, and exploding out of the power pocket, you'll find more...

    Not hand cut. I tried hand cutting a couple, and my old man eyes and shaky hands won't get the job done well enough. :\

    Okthrowberfest 2017 Voting Thread

    I've just recently started dyeing discs. In fact, my two entries (Candy Skull Crusher and I Come In Peace) are my second and third stencil dyes. Based on what I see in the contest (in particular, Best Shot Doubles, Real Men Throw in Lederhosen, Rise of the Minions, and Eye of the Bethrowlder), I...

    Review by PuzzledGuy in course Jacobson Park DGC

    3.50 star(s) A Walk in the Park Jacobson Disk Golf Course is a moderately challenging course that is definitely worth playing. It's a long course with more than a few opportunities to throw big shots, but dips in and out of the woods a few times to demand controlled shaping of lines. The setting is...

    Pittsburgh or Warwick NY

    Just returned from a weekend at Warwick. Second time I've made a weekend trip with friends. Can't say enough good things about the Brakewell/Steel Animals course - the four configurations offer a great deal of variety. Wolfe Woods and The Oasis are also both worth playing - effectively six...

    [Question] Your Max Distance Driver

    That's all? Are you throwing it upside down?

    [Question] Your Max Distance Driver

    I'm throwing about 300-325 on a good day with my Valkyrie, same range as you. That means our internet distance is in the 420-445 range - we're crushing it! :clap:
