Funny thing about mids for me. I bag a Coyote and Gator. The Coyote I use on occasion, and very little lately as I tend to just pull out the putter more often than not when I'm in close enough range to use my mid. the Gator is my roller only. Thing rolls in a straight line most of the time...

Just picked up an official license dyemax Captain America Felon. Oh the ironing! But seriously, hope to give this a try soon. Was going to head out today but my dg buds couldn't make it out after work. It's also hard to go to a few courses around here lately as they are all almost water logged...

Looks to me like a good shot for accuracy. Are you specifically looking for a wide open distance shot with that throw? Because if you are then that was not the mechanics for it. But since it went in the basket, that looks like the perfect mechanics for that specific shot. Not every throw has to...

For distance, I find that grip isn't that huge of a thing. I've hit roughly the same distance with all the various power grips and even fan grips. I just get a nice grip, without it being way to hard or too soft that is comfortable. Manipulating your grip for a "little" more distance is good for...

While you are moving with a little more force and start a bit more coiled with the throw, you are doing the same movements I mentioned previously. First improvement would be to get your gut out of the way of your throw. Lean over, stick out that tush, and pull the disc through the belly button...

As for the hopping and compression, going to have to agree with iacas here. The initial hop the pro's use isn't to build energy for the throwing movement, it's to build energy for the coiling movement. It's to build momentum into getting their arm pushed back and their body/feet into the proper...

To me it looks like the OP is arming it the entire way. He turns his body, but doesn't actually use any of the coiled energy in his throw. All I see is a chest height, arm swing from far back to release. Speaking as a fellow guy with a beer belly, standing up that tall when trying to throw is...

Another thing I have found when going for distance, don't worry as much about accuracy right now. Too many people want to keep their face and eyes in the direction of where they want to throw. It will seriously hurt your distance doing this. I find it better to just close my eyes until I release...

Wow, seems a lot of hate in here for various molds. Personally I haven't ran into a disc mold I couldn't throw. Now there is plastic I don't like. Anything that gets beat so fast as to basically make it damn near a different disc every 3rd throw I don't like. I like a bit more consistency and...

Finally picked up the Jun to give it a try. Didn't really need another disc, but the Engrish about this disc going through trees was funny enough to get me to buy one :) Haven't had a chance to try it and with the weather as it currently is right now it may be a little bit before I do so.

Nuke OS is the most overstable disc I have ever thrown. That being said, I use such a disc for very specific purposes and not for max distance at all. I use it for thumbers for one where I want a very fast flip over in the air for one reason or another on my thumber. I also use it for shallow...

For me it would be the following... 1) Max weight good plastic mid. I like my 180g star coyote for this. I can use it as a mid or a putter even. Being very stable I can use it to shape just about any shot I want for the distance range I like to use it in. 2) A very understable low speed...

Hint, if you can't change the gun to a disc, put some writing along the side of the gun that says, disc gun, and try to make the ammo "lines" in the magazine look more like discs somehow. Maybe add a "patch" to the armor on the shoulder that is a disc golf basket or something related to disc golf.

Discstalker states they don't do copyright materials. However, if you know how to do a bit of photoshop, you can change enough to make it your own under some of the creative exclusion clauses to copyright materials so it is no longer copyright so long as the derivative work is for you only...

Honestly, I don't know. The only translucent disc I had done was a really light see-thru disc.They did try to inject a layer of white dye first before going over with color. I'm sure that helped some, but it ended up still very see-thru. I think a much darker translucent disc would fair better...
