I carry mine in my bag regardless of where I go

The most intelligent response yet, and shows the value of knowing history

The biggest advice for a new player who is looking to move to being competitive at the intermediate level is to make your learning experience as simple as possible. That means you don't want to try to buy 10 discs that all should do different things. You probably won't be able to keep track of...

Yes, the biggest reason is about money no doubt about that. Followed second by growing the sport in general. Even though he said "it's not a money making venture" (see the YouTube video), it still is about money because he spent a lot of time basically saying "this event causes us to lose a...

It depends on the courses you play. If there are lots of tights tree shots, maybe a 167-170 TL would be good. If you have lots of wide open shots, I'd go with a 168-171 Sidewinder, or a 165-168 Valkyrie. Don't get a Teebird like others are saying for adding distance. Take it from me. I was...

Simple question. I've seen ESP disc, I've seen FLX discs. But I was looking at discgolfcenter.com and I'm now I'm seeing ESP FLX discs? What exactly is ESP FLX vs. FLX? Or are they the same thing?

I'm not quite sure, but based on what I understand from what you said it sounds like a Z Buzzz SS would be better? I would be looking something that is less low-speed overstable. In other words, fades very little at the end of it's flight. And yes, that is about what I throw on average...

Deciding between the two. Thoughts? As an aside, I'm looking for something that will fly straight and will hopefully be good for trees also. (I throw a somewhat beat 175 KC Pro Roc about 250 avg). I know the FLX is better for trees (less bounce), but how do the flights of the two compare...

My other drivers besides the 167 Star SideWinder are 170-172. (Z Predator, Ch StarFire, Ch Teebird). These weights were picked after speaking at length with Blake T @ discgolfreview.com. When I talked to him maybe 4 years ago, I was just starting to play a lot more and so I started to buy...

Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a super straight driver and it looks like the Star TL is the one I should go for. About me: I throw my new 167 Star Sidewinder an average of 325. (this disc is too unstable for me for reliable straight shots). I live in Colorado, so the altitude as you know...

:( bummer lol haha

How much is this worth? How much is this worth? A first run, limited edition Elite Pro XL. I found it at the bottom of a lake, so I'm not sure how long it's been in the water. It's moderately worn on the edges, but not too bad. The markings on the bottom are strange. The number is crossed...

Need help ID'ing a disc I found a disc that I'm not sure what it is. I know for a fact it is made by Innova. The three letter marking near the weight is "PKH". The rim is pretty wide so it looks like a "higher speed" disc. The only front stamp is the 2010 Colorado State Disc Golf...

2.50 star(s) Decent course, alternate teepads make it better -Alternate tee pad locations. Aside from Hole 8 and Hole 2, the alternate tee pads give you a totally different look at the basket. -Nice tee signs and new tee pads -Good course flow and easy to follow -Some elevation change -Can play through...

Thanks for the insightful and respectful comments. I find it interesting that a vague question elicits a vague response. And yes it could be more vague such as "I need a good midrange, thanks!". I hope you don't do the same when talking to actual people. On another note, I think I'm just...
