    A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?

    Other info

    My philosophy of Course Ratings: Sorry, I don't have an objective course review strategy. I play 'em and wing it.

    My background is in parks and recreation, so I tend to have a better handle on public courses and how they fit into an overall park design. I'm nit-picky on conflicts with other park uses and play-ability (flow) as opposed to someone who is just evaluating the shots.

    I'm not a very good golfer so things like the challenge level of a top-tier course isn't really my strong suit. I can look at things like variety of shot types, variety of distances, etc., but I'm not really sure for example if a hole is a par 4 or a par 5. Like I said, I just take my perception and wing it.

    As a result, I really don't review courses I consider to be a "3" or over after I play them once. Better courses I like to play 3-4 times in a variety of weather to get a better feel for the design.

    The reason I am asking, is I need a larger margin of error for some of my drives. I've been able to get that Avenger to turn over so well, I have lost the ability to get the hyzer i need to get a better shot. So, Pred and Firebird it is!?
    noahrienks
    Dude, you know me, and you've seen me throw. I am in love with my Avenger, but I am realizing I need a better overstable disc to hyzer. What would be a good disc to get, with my arm strength, and ability? I've got a Speed Demon, but want either a good discraft or innova. HELP ME!!

    I was beginning to think my reverse psychology had failed. :\

    Then, after a while, I thought maybe "butter eater" had crossed the line. :D

    Yer the bestest 3PUtt!

    Dude, do you actually have a 10m brick? I haven't laughed so hard until I read about them!

    Thanks for the response. Can I pay on the day of tourney I have been playing less than a year so would think my son and I are intermediate.

    thanks for giving us all access to your encyclopedic knowledge of dg equipment and your astute observations of dg culture. :clap:

    we live in exciting times. this sport os growing in leaps and bounds and youre in a pretty sweet spot as far as forum personas go.

    you should write a book...

    hell you just about have. ever think about compiling all of your equipment threads in one place? a blog or a book or something?

    I was working at this place today and noticed they have a nine hole course with Innova baskets set up. I didn't get to play it but I was wondering if you knew about it I don't know if the let people just come and play but thought if you were interested since there aren't many courses around you might want to check it out. . They are about 30 mins from Rolla. http://www.wwbccamp.com/index.php

    hey man i was wondering if you could answer the question on the champion vs star thread....youre usually a fountain of knowledge when it comes to innova products so i figured you would be the best person to ask.... thanks

    Oops, sorry I guess I kinda stole your name. Using the number 3 instead of spelling it out allowed me to get away with it by accident. Oh well, I bet I 3 putt more than you, maybe I'll change my name to 3 putts and a gimme

    I don't want to sound like a creeper but I've been going through all your posts via your profile and just reading them individually. Thanks for being such an awesome source for disc golf history and for giving your insight!

    Oh and I'm sure you're a great person too ;)

    Ok, that last part probably did sound creepy.
