    PAS disc sports Rovic RV1D

    Just got one, my Father's Day present. I was only able to play a handful of holes this morning. Some initial thoughts: Its BIG. And it's not as rock solid as others. It's a slightly modified bolf cart as others have pointed out. If you also whack little white balls a conversion kit is...

    Anywhere in the world to choose

    Europe! I've played Sloterpark in Amsterdam, Roel Langerakpark in Rotterdam, and Parcours Russelsheim outside of Frankfurt, Germany. I recommend all 3.

    The sheer idiocy of playing in snow

    I play kick the snow from time to time during the winter. It's usually better if you aren't solo. If you do it often enough you get pretty adept at snow forensics looking for those telltale signs of where your disc knifed into the snow. Champion type plastics have a tendency to reflect light...

    dogs on leases

    I'm "that" guy. I take Sheeba everywhere I go. That includes every place of business I go to. If she isn't on a leash she's in her pet stroller. She is ALWAYS on a leash when I play.

    [Question] Your favourite discs?

    My favorite 3 changes more often than I change my socks. But currently it's an Atom, Gator, and Fireball. The quality of courses around here varies from pretty close to perfect to I won't waste my time. My biggest complaint about most local courses is a lack of respect by a certain group of...

    Newb Question

    A Leopard was the first driver I could get distance with. It a dependable and forgiving disc. And with improved form it can go a long way. I would add, get a lightweight Leopard. It's no surprise that Innova but a 150g Leopard in its DX Beginners Pack. The only downside of a lightweight...

    Do You Like Hybrid Ball Golf/Disc Golf Courses?

    I didn't vote because I have yet to play on a bolf course. There is one locally, but I have no desire to play it. If I want to pay to play, I'll stick to a course designed for disc golf. Or better yet, play for free!

    [Mids] Need some advice on a new midrange mold

    Comet! If you're going to audition a Roc, then its required to try a Buzzz. For a little longer flight but dead straight try a Glide or an Atlas. Both are pretty reliable to hold their line even into a moderate headwind.

    Playing with chronic joint issues

    When I was evaluated for VA disability I was diagnosed with moderate to severe arthritis in my neck, lower back, left & right hips, and left shoulder. I also have a 50% torn right Achilles tendon and an unrepairable dislocated left thumb. And of course I'm left handed. The only medications I...

    [Question] Where's the Beef?

    And therein lies the problem with specialty discs. Not for everyone and not necessarily mass marketable. I try to steer clear of them. I try to make what I can easily replace work for specialty shots.
