I really like the aerial view, too. Check out the Disc Orlando site. It has some really nice photos of Orlando area courses.

I'm interested in this, too. I think the frame rate is pretty key here, as it would be really useful for slowing down drive videos to check your form.

I do know that if you keep your disc closer to the ground, it will be less affected by the wind no matter which direction it's blowing. Also, this article might help (figure 1 is particularly helpful, in my opinion).

I've found the Avenger SS to be a nice, stable driver. It's like a Buzzz, but it goes further.

3.00 star(s) Great place to learn disc golf... This is a great course to learn or teach disc golf. The nine holes offer a nice variety of shots and the trees offer a constant challenge. There's very little chance of losing a disc, as there's very little brush. The location is convenient, just off of...

"...makes hackey sack look like a total joke." Not mine, unfortunately. And not originally about disc golf, either. It's from Parry Grip's song "Ultimate Frisbee". Download it here.

The real problem here is that you've got a single rating to relay both objective and subjective information. So you've got facts competing for stars with opinions and relative information. You have "this course has 18 holes and clean bathrooms" versus "I love Innova baskets and I live right...

I'm going to agree with those who are telling you to put a few of these in your hands before actually buying one. I don't think I'd buy another putter without seeing if it's comfortable in my hand. Remember, you'll probably use the same putter on nearly every hole that you play. Personally...

I have a first run ESP Nuke that has hit its fair share of trees, but has come away with only a few little scratches and bark marks around the rim. Do different runs of it have different durability? It's also possible that my weak arm isn't allowing the Nuke to hit the trees hard enough...

I'm sure it will take me a while to figure out when a disc is beat in. I slid my Pro D Avenger SS down a paved road last night...again...not for the sake of beating it in, but because I throw poorly (though I was happy with its distance). I don't intend to buy new plastic and get rid of my Pro...

That's why I said they "seem to throw fine". I guess I want the security in knowing that my bad form is causing bad throws and not a bad disc. As a beginner, it's hard to tell the difference. Plus, it's an excuse to buy more plastic :D

A few months ago some friends took me out to play disc golf, I had a great time, and soon after I bought several Discraft Pro D discs to get started (they're cheap, right?). I've been playing weekly...and my discs are already starting to look pretty wrecked. They still seem to throw fine, but...

I'll look into getting the Disc Golf Fundamentals DVD. Does it offer significantly more than what can be found on youtube? An inconsistent pull-through could very well be my problem. I'd assume that a straight pull-through would mean the disc could only go straight. The towel-snapping and...

A bit more about my throw: I throw RHBH, I know the x-step, and typically throw 150-200 feet on a drive. Not very far, but I realize that power will come. I use a Pro-D Buzzz on 80% of my drives, and throw on a 9-hole course that averages to about 200 feet per hole (which is just about perfect...

I'm new at disc golf (playing for two months now) and I'm having a problem throwing straight. I'll throw a nice shot that does everything I wanted to...except it's 45 degrees off of the line that I intended to put it on. I'm pretty sure it's a problem of my release point, but I'm not sure if...
