I was just thinking my DD section of my bad was too cluttered, but now that I think about it it mostly works. I have an ESP Crank for silly understable stuff, a Lucid Trespass for stable/US duties, a moderately seasoned Star Wraith for stable/OS duties, and a new Champion Orc that I can really...

I feel like wind is an important factor in this conversation that can maybe suggest some answers for Dan's questions. For example I would choose a more overstable disc to get further left than a more understable one into a stiff enough headwind. You also might choose an understable disc to go...

There is. It is called practice and the downside is that it is most effective when taken regularly for months or even years. Many players are never able to perform to their fullest without continued application for the duration of their careers. It is rumored that most if not all professional...

I'm going to second the sw22 comment about the feel of effortless balance. There are zero throws in common between my 10 farthest and the 10 where I felt like I was throwing the hardest. Good hip action isn't worth a damn in isolation, it is important because it bridges the powerhouse that is...

I'm pretty sure the phenomenon you are describing is a product of wind for two reasons. First, I have never seen it happen on a calm day. Second, I know that as you increase wind blowing into the top of a flying disc it will get pushed down and as you increase wind blowing into the bottom of a...

I'd pay attention to all of your scores, not just the last two. If you are consistently shooting your best round on the first round of the tournament then there might be some mental component but it also be fatigue. Not only physical but mental and emotional fatigue. Playing disc golf (or any...

We can't really see what is open and only know that the bushes are high, the pin is to the left, and if we go too far left or right on our initial drive we hit trees. With a weak lefty thrower it seems like the safest option is to throw a neutral or slightly understable mid straight over the...

I only ever have problems with wildly fluctuating scores (high or low) when I am not playing regularly and don't have a good feel of which of my throws are high and low percentage. To me, everything that happens on the course comes down to statistics. You have some shots you make 20% of the...

I've had it for more than a year, but after a four disc round yesterday my DX Polecat may have just knocked three of my Judges from my bag. I took the Polecat, a Classic Hard Judge, my Icon Patriot and my Z Zombee for a quick round often throwing both drivers from the tee and putting with both...

Isn't the Convict supposed to fill that slot? I don't know since I haven't thrown it or the St Pro, PD, or Thunderbird but I've heard it was to the St Pro what the Escape was to the Saint, and in general I've been most impressed with DD's discs.

Ghost / Comet - if you prefer Roc-type mids to Buzzz-type mids but also prefer premium plastic you can't beat this combo.

If I counted them all from memory correctly I have 34 discs. I seriously bag 15-17 of them and usually throw another 3-5 in the bag to experiment with.

The relative stabilities aren't similar if you are choosing OS drivers because the Ultra-Star is understable, but if you throw an understable golf disc the stability is similar, its just the speed that isn't but that is true moving from putters to mids to drivers anyways. Nobody recommends only...

They're closer than you think. Most ultimate players are bad throwers. All the big ultimate throwers say palm up. All the big disc golf FH throwers say palm up. A disc golf driver has a thicker rim and a lower profile, but it still moves according to the same physics and is still imparted with...

I'm more of an ultimate player who occasionally goes disc golfing than a proper disc golfer, and I can assure you that 100% of ultimate players who have good forehand deep throws are throwing them palm up. People throw palm forward, but they never get any power compared to people who throw palm...
