4.50 star(s) it's coming along Layout offers good variety of distance, open/wooded, and occasional light elevation. 9 and 12 holes loops incorporated. Additional layouts are popular among locals in the know. No poison ivy, large thorny bushes, or muddy spots. Low bugs. No ticks. 2 practice baskets. Cement...

5.00 star(s) Darn Good A good mix of left, right, and straight fairways that utilize every bit of elevation throughout this rolling to flat property. The entire course is dedicated to disc golf - while paved paths divide and skirt the course, there are no paths across fairways. There are new signs as of a...

2.50 star(s) It's almost as good as it could be well kept. nice benches. easy to get to. there's a map at the first hole. baskets are numbered. Tees have info embedded into the cement. no posts or other signs or markers to guide you. While the baskets are numbered, as are tees,without posts, it's not always...

My experience I hope no one is too offended that I replied to this. I read as much as I could, but I tend to read quickly/scim and some stuff is just too mathematical for my meager mind to envision. Given that, I'd appreciate feedback on my understanding in my own words, taken from my own...

Spin/Hyzer I know this is an old thread, however, I just can't stand when misinformation is not corrected. "More spin stabilizes the disc, which on a backhand throw keeps it from hyzering off sooner, thus (sorta indirectly I suppose) increasing distance." - This is not how it works. Hyzer...

I'm a RHFH player and as a forehand player, I get more speed and less spin on my throws than a typical RHBH player, which often translates to bigger discs. The Lace *IS* FLIPPY for forehanders. As flippy as my Avenger SS. I'm talking straight to the ground for a roller FLIPPY. I'm talking I let...

I went out on Tuesday, March 5th, 2 weeks after tuning the Lace hard. It's still as stable as my slightly tuned up ESP Force (a half click up from an Elite Z OTB Force), but it has more glide without a doubt. I'd actually like it to be just a little less stable than it is, so I'm hoping to see...

Vibram Tune So. It's been a week since I wrenched on my Lace hard, working my way around the rim, bending it face to face, trying to get it to take a tuning. Refresher: word on the street says Vibram discs will not stay tuned. So. Gave it a huck yesterday, exactly 7 days since I tuned it and...

I'm not really sure I want another flippy driver - I have a beat ESP Avenger SS, a beat 150 Valk, a beat Flash, and a beat Surge SS for that. However, the range of stability possible - between OTB and a hard tuning - is impressive. Usually, the maximum stability of a disc is determined by its...

I'm glad to hear a reply, Lewis! Indeed, I've read Vibram discs will work their way back to OTB stability. So it's an experiment. Right now, it's been about 5 hours since I tuned it up and it seems to be holding the tune. Whether that is true tomorrow or next week remains to be seen. But I think...

Understable Lace Just got a 171g Lace (and a 164g Sole, too) and hit the course for 13 holes. It was snowing steadily with a consistent 18 mph wind, so I didn't want to stay out too long. Given the Innova style stats from DGC and what's been said here and elsewhere, I was hoping for a driver...

Clarity First off, I think it's VERY important to clarify some physics of disc flight because much of what people have said above is incorrect, misleading, or vague. Stability is generated by the spin a disc is thrown with, not speed. That is to say, the direction a disc spins is the...

About dying and masking discs: Masking: I use the sign vinyl (as many others do), obtained from a local graphic shop. The first 2 pieces my buddy and I got were free, but when I went in last time, there was a cold, curt lady who wanted to charge me $12 for a square foot. I think when she...
