I just bought a sweet 112 DX Roc that almost feels gummy champ, really odd material. I bought a 101g Polecat as well. Haven't had a chance for my 5 year old daughter to throw them yet, but the 169g dx leopard was "Way too heavy" (her words) discgolfcenter is where i got mine, super easy with...

Heard about this yesterday on a course in tn Was playing some golf yesterday here in Tennessee and when i said i was from Indiana, this was first thing brougt up. Glad IN is seen in such a good light from this. I was playing in the tourney this happened in, but in a different group, and we...

agreed. Would you rather it be real island where every errant shot is lost disc? Not me. I'm all for it. And the best part of this? If you are playing casual...WHO CARES!!! But for tourneys/leagues (i.e. more competitive players) it is tougher for the challenge. Great use of land that...

This is a great point. I would have no problem paying for the opportunity to play at a very nice, very well upkept (sp?) course with typical golf course country club amenities. The issue, like most have said is the mindset, and goal of many golfers to have this sport be free, or at least...

I take multiple shots all the time. I don't count anything but my first shot as an ace. WHy? THEY AREN'T ACES. The only time a second shot would count as an ace (IMHO) is if you are playing as the wildman in a doubles (you get 2 tee shots) then that is a legal "first throw" so it'd count as...

Agreed. On the course, for throws, I think of 2 things, and that's it.. "OK Rob, make sure you get a full reach back, and full follow through." For Putts I think of only 2 things as well. "OK, get your hand/disc in proper position...and make sure you get that pop." During practice i think...

I'm 6'6", and am only stating heights of folks i have stood right next too, all were at worlds this year. Ricky is about 6'5, almost my height, I think he's grown in the past 2 years, so if you met him a while back, it could be quite different. He was taller than I expected him to be. big jerm...

I'll be the guy. I have 400' of consistent distance and accuracy with my Teebirds (on an open hole). I throw destroyers and bosses for longer shots than that. I regularly throw them 425'-475'. My accuracy left-to-right and distance control is suspect though. I'm maybe 35% accurate to within...

The big difference between the pros and us DGCR posters is this. When we post distance we throw our driver, it is MAX D without accuracy, that we pulled off 1 time in a lucky wind, haha.....when they post distance it is the distance they are comfortable getting, reliably, and can count on in a...

Or it is a slightly trashy calendar that demeans both of her professions, modeling and disc golf.

I would take steps prior to starting a round with your group of informing them of your "odd" putting style. That will reduce the chances of them mistakenly calling you for a fault. But be aware, this will cause more scrutiny on your putt and foot fault, balance, etc than others. But if it is...

hoping i'm fairly close to the top of the wait list when it's published tonight. Any historical knowledge of how many people will drop out? Trying to weigh the cost vs benefit of "gambling" on airfare while it's still inexpensive.

Not counting discs. Towels - Quantity depending on forecast and weather history Hand Warmers - again based on forecast power bars at least 2 per round in the bag, (more in the summer) OTC Drugs - Tylenol, Sudafed, Immodium, Benadryl First Aid Kit - band aids, cleaning wipes, etc Socks, long...

Stupidity and risk of frostbite aside, not everyone can do this. In our area, the ponds while disgusting and dangerous, are also illegal to enter. We have certified groups allowed to dredge the pond for discs and return them. Unfortunately many folks break the law, and risk their health and...

That's because the 2nd run, board flat CE Valk's are the greatest disc ever made. Glide, OS, but very stable (Straight) start of flight with limited to no turning, and solid OS finish. And can't be compared to any other disc I've ever thrown. As a tip with that disc, if RHBH, and wind is dead...
