    [Question] Do you stay away from the latest and greatest discs?

    I hear ya. If it's a company with a plastic I like and it has the chance to fill a gap in my bag, I'll try it with an open mind. No point in missing a chance to find that perfect disc just because it's new. I stubbornly threw just DX for 14 years. In the past almost four years now, I've...

    What's with disc golfers and fancy zipper pulls?

    Point taken :D I actually have a Grip A-Series sitting under the xmas tree. We're putting paracord in the all the grand kids' stockings and putting them to work -- I should have a new set of zipper pulls before New Years ;) If you can't beat, join em.

    What's with disc golfers and fancy zipper pulls?

    The last time I saw this must interest in zipper pulls, it was from my 10-year-old granddaughter and her friends during summer camp ;) But in all seriousness, is there a practical reason for all this paracord and lanyard?

    Review by tombrinkman01 in course Bevier Park - Old Layout

    4.00 star(s) Fun well-maintained course ... - Great signage; red arrows located throughout the course makes it very easy to navigate - Fairways neatly manicured - Rare to find a 20-hole course in the Chicago-land burbs. - Nice variety: Starts out as your typical short park course, then you move across the...

    Review by tombrinkman01 in course Margreth Riemer Reservoir

    3.50 star(s) Good course but great for the area - Only 18-hole course in the area - Holes well marked and easy to follow - Fairways well kept - Baskets in good condition. This is a fairly short course, with few obstacles. Previous reviewer is correct that in 5-10 years, when the small trees grow in, it...

    Salient DG Spec 1 Shoe

    Point taken. Since typically anything DG specific is so expensive, some of us want things things that function well and look good. That's all.

    Salient DG Spec 1 Shoe

    My apologies. This was meant to be constructive criticism. Anyway, don't take my word for it -- take these designs outside the dg relm and see what regular people say.

    Millennium and Hyzer Bomb partnership

    I hear ya. Will there be other colors available for us old timers who don't want to look like that 50-year-old d-bag in skinny jeans? This 50 year old likes things a little more low key. Maybe a black, grey or brown bag in the future?

    Salient DG Spec 1 Shoe

    Why am I not surprised these hideous shoes are associated with Physical Flight. I'm sure they're totally functional, comfortable, durable, etc ... But just like the bags, please hire a professional designer because your products are really ugly. That Rhyno logo thing looks like clip art with...

    HOD 4/4/13: Blue Mountain in Missoula, MT

    That's a great question. I used to play this course in the late 90s when it was all sound poles, and this hole was pretty much an ace run. I thought maybe the pin location was changed when the baskets were put in, but after watching the video, it looks to be the same. At that time, my max drive...

    Dynamic Discs Bag

    I have an Ogio ball golf bag and the quality is amazing -- their bags are bomb proof. As for the design of the backpack, I agree with the comparisons -- the Ranger looks boxy like the Simian, which is the ugliest bag I've ever seen in person. Honestly, it looks like a tiny refrigerator box with...

    Any thoughts on the third-run Hyzerbomb Flak?

    Wow, thanks. I'm glad I got the Grip then -- even if it is too small.

    What generation are we?

    I started playing in the late 1990s, and I think everything before 2000 is the first generation. I say that because in the late 1990s no one ordered discs online -- we bought discs wherever we could find them and bought whatever discs were available. Also, learning proper technique was only...
