Hi all, long time no posts. I recently got back into disc golf and wanted to learn the mythical hyzerflip. I found a beat up DX valkyrie in the used section and thought "I have to be able to flip this disc." The good news is I can totally flip this disk. It's likely the flippiest disc in the...

I see a lot of people recommending the Nova as a disc to point out flaws in form. I have one and can never get it to do much besides turn and burn. However, I have an Opto Pure that I have no trouble getting out to almost ~275 feet on a slight anny line. Is the Pure just more forgiving than...

You could get a Justice. Absolutely no way that disc will ever dive right. Also not going to help your hyzer problem at all. In all seriousness I think you should just keep working on driving with the mids you have. If you slow down and focus on form I bet a lot of your issues will be resolved...

this escalated quickly...

I have always thought "high speed turn" is a result of high angular velocity. When spinning at high speeds the relative velocity of the left side of the disc and the right side of the disc are drastically different, with the left side being faster and the right side being slower. I always...

Sweet I'm so glad this thread inspire so much debate. I went out and worked on my throws saturday night. Switching to the fan grip instantly resulted in no more OAT but it send some of my drives wild. I've noticed I have a lot of trouble getting the disc and my forearm on the same plane when...

Lots of great conversation ITT. Thanks a lot everyone. I just want to clarify a few things: -I'm definitely not unintentionally putting the disc on an anny line. I know this because all the OAT makes hyzer flipping my Leo3 really easy. The problem is I know that people with good form can put a...

The stats are already bothering me. Who's idea was it to refer to getting inside the circle with your drive as a "green hit?" Ball golf invented a wonderful term called a "Green in regulation" that covers this well and avoids the mess of saying "greens hits, I mean greens hit, I mean... hit greens?"

Thanks a ton this all sounds like great advice. I'll go pick up a Comet this weekend and start on some grip work.

I'm stuck under 300 most of the time unless I accidentally do something right. :rolleyes:

Really? I've found forgetting everything I knew about throwing Frisbees was crucial to me consistently getting to 300 ft with any of my drivers.

I don't know anything about this disc but I assume it's something understable that would normally cut roll with any amount of OAT? If that's the case do you think I could do this with a KC Pro Roc or a Leopard3? I only ask because I'd like to cure this ailment without buying a disc that I...

Hi all, I'm sorry to make a new thread about this but I've done a little searching and feel like a little more info on this will help me a lot. When I changed from using a fan grip for all my throws to using a power grip, I noticed that I was turning all of my discs over. However, the only...

This weekend I switched to a birdie grip and stopped taking running starts on all my shots. The problem is totally gone. For whatever reason the power grip is just uncomfortable for me, but the birdie feels great. I can tell that I won't have as much rip but just seeing the disc fly correctly...

I don't know because it was found (no number on it) but the disc is in pretty good shape. Champion plastic, no scars. Thanks a lot to everyone who has replied, I looked into OAT and can't wait to get out to the field tomorrow AM.
