    Forehand Basics

    To get a good fast spin going, you need to be holding the disc very tightly during your throwing motion. Very tightly. Imagine what it looks like to shake up a can of soda with one hand. You should be holding your disc tightly enough that you can mimic that shake motion with your disc w/o it...

    Field Practice is no Joke...

    Field practice and putting practice are a lot of fun (at least to me), and after a few months it's easy to see how much better I'd gotten than my friends who didn't do it.

    Forehand Basics

    Don't try to strong-arm it, you need to concentrate on flicking it with your wrist. You want to be throwing the disc like it's a hammer; think of how your wrist/arm would be moving it that's what you were doing. And watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOECjLjhiTI

    Putter Presumptions

    pig pig pig. That is all.

    Sorry if this is a noob question but...

    The Hydra is more of a putter shape, so that probably isn't what you're looking for. The Dragon is what I'd recommend, but it's a bit of an acquired taste- when I first got it I hated it. But on my home course there's a water hazard hole that you need to drive for distance on (most water...

    The Frankenstein monster is FANTASTIC.

    Vicariously Lost Discs

    I think if you have the sort of course where discs are likely to end up in water, and you let someone you know to be inexperienced play it with your discs, you can't be mad when they lose 1-2 discs. That's why most people who have loaner bags (I have one too) have them filled with discs that...

    Houston Airport

    I think it would have been really awesome if someone from here was actually at the airport at the same time.

    [Trade] Looking to trade away 3 150class discs

    I've got a wolf, aviar, and shark. All are in very good shape (will provide sleepy scale ratings if asked for). Looking for... whatever you've got.

    NATIONAL CHAMPIONS DYE

    Not to get too sidetracked, but not an official NCAA recognized one. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I-A_national_football_championship " Division I FBS (formerly Division I-A) football is the only NCAA sport in which a yearly champion is not determined by an NCAA sanctioned...

    Disc Finding Glasses?

    Yes, they sell them there for $9.99 and it's the same thing. I tried them on because I thought the same thing as the original poster- Would these work for disc golf? And I don't think they would, unless you only use white/yellow discs. The glasses make everything that's not white sort of a...

    [Trade] three dx discs

    I've got a champion monarch 175, a dragon 150, two champ valkeries 175, 175, a QJLS 165. Photos of some of those (and a few others): PM me if interested. I'm interested in any/all of your discs.

    3rd (dye) time's the charm

    nice job!

    Spent the last few days trying to learn how to dye...

    Yeah, it's a guy kicking his bag. Someone on one of the disc golf forums had it as their avatar and I thought it was awesome. It's supposed to have a basket in the background with a disc on the ground beside it, like he just missed a putt, but I didn't think I could pull off the cutting and...

    Spent the last few days trying to learn how to dye...

    This was the first one I did. It's a white dx wraith, and it took forever to make it look black, and it still came out smokey. But that's what I get for trying to dye dx. Definitely still figuring this out, but this is what I've got so far.
