I have heard some say that until you can throw a putter 250 feet, you have significant flaws in technique. If I wanted to work on this and try to learn to throw a putter 250 feet what putter would be good to use? I currently use an Aviar R-Pro Putt and Approach. I also have an Aviar KC-Pro...
Yes, I think I am doing this. I like to throw stable discs with anhyzer and make them "SI". I had a really hard time throwing hyzers. I am getting better. I throw the furthest in my regular group. So I have not been pushed.
I am working on my technique as well. But I got so tied up in...
Yes, that makes sense. I guess I am trying to understand the difference between an understable high speed disc and an over-stable low speed disc.
It is my understanding that in general discs tend to behave more stably at slower speeds and less stably at higher speed. So if you have a 9...
Over-thinking could be the tag line for my life.... hahaha.....
I am trying to keep the game simple fun and feel oriented. I am trying to keep only a few discs in regular usage that I am comfortable with.
But I enjoy getting a new disc and experimenting with it. And I enjoy the process of...
Great you tube video on speed. Thanks.
Seems to say that the fundamental nature of wide rim is high speed and therefore there are no wide rim slower speed discs. Although they mention a manufacturer that is using different plastic density to better control the distribution of the weight...
Yes, that is what I was thinking. Vulcan is 13 5 -4 2. Let's say I got that in a light weight and threw it at 9 speed, would it behave more like 9 5 -1 2?
Or would it just not perform since I am trying to make it do something it is not designed to do?
It seems more speed creates less...
Is there a way to estimate the flight rating for various discs at different speeds?
For example a Saint is 9 6 -1 2
So could it be similar to 8 6 0 3?
Or is the fade the fade since it is at the slower end so it might be more like 8 6 0 2?
Or is it just not designed to function at all at less...
I have played ball golf for almost 40 years. Took it pretty seriously for a while. Never got really good, but got to the point that anything over 80 was disappointing and broke par for 9 holes several times.
Now after 2 years of playing disc golf I already enjoy it more. Ball golf got to the...
So here is my bag at the moment:
Primary discs I expect to use most/all of the time:
Drive - 168g Saint Gold (new - replaces 175g Saint Frost)
Approach and windy putting - 178g Buzzz ESP Flex (I carry two of these)
Putt - 175g Aviar R-Pro Putt & Approach (I carry two of these)
I plan to use...
Interesting video - according to this, all my drivers have too much glide and not enough fade. I though a lot of glide would be good for me to compensate for less speed. Perhaps Saint and Jade are closest- 9, 6, -1, 2 and 9, 6, -2, 2 respectively.
I am also curious about weight. I started...
Thanks for all the great comments. Very helpful.
I have standardized on Lat 64 for drivers. I have Diamond, Jade, River, Fury, Saint and Saint Pro. So far Saint seems most versatile for one disc. River is good too, but sometimes if I want a gentle driving hyzer I will get my release a...
That varies a lot since my technique is evolving. Occasionally I will get one out in the 300 ft range. But more typical is in the 250 ft range.
I play from the shorts and 3s are good for me. I am trying to put my drive in play. Make a good up shot and leave a short putt. Try to avoid the...
