    Visiting NC (possibly relocating)

    @OP Cary is nice. Its name is an acronym meaning Containment Area for Relocated Yankees, so you would fit in well. haha

    Visiting NC (possibly relocating)

    I'm also a 3rd year at NCSU. I live on Glenwood so being super close to Cedar Hills has drastically helped my game.

    Taking my head out of it...

    I hope you are familiar with the hyzer flip. Or at least that's how I handle water. 1. Buy crazy beat disc for cheap 2. Throw with wing at 45-60 degree angle 3. ??? 4. Profit!

    Playing through

    My local park has a lot of families and rookies, so people are annoyingly unfamiliar with proper etiquette. The other day, my brother and I got behind a Mom, Dad, and Kid(which frequently play there) on the first tee. We arrived at the same time and, out of courtesy, we didn't ask the play...

    [Innova] SL Vs Viking

    If you are throwing a little shorter than 300 ft, the speed should be just right. You might have a lot of success with it. It just doesn't like being thrown too fast so my 325-350 makes it get a little too flippy for my tastes. In the interest of full disclosure, I've only thrown one about 6-7...

    [Innova] SL Vs Viking

    I haven't thrown a viking, but as for the Valk comparison, I can help. To me, the SL seemed like a slightly longer Valk, but it wasn't as controllable. The flight paths weren't dissimilar if the releases were perfect, but the SL seemed less tolerant of extra power. Given correct speeds, the SL...

    [Innova] Need help selecting mids (roc throwers)

    My roc flies beautifully and I'm probably more comfortable with it than any other disc in my bag. Thus, I'm quite happy with the "multiple rocs in various stages of wear" approach that people have with mids. I've tried other stuff, but had lackluster results. So, if your mid game isn't roc...

    Spin vs Speed

    I want to know this as well! Good question! And well phrased, too. When I throw my putters or certain mids for longer shots(teeing off with them) I throw differently and usually get entirely different forms of flight when compared to my distance drivers. I suspected this (Disc Speed vs RPM) to...

    What would you do if there was no disc golf?

    Ride my motorcycle more, read more, and improve my GPA.

    Consistency vs Max Drive

    What is the distance between your max drive and the range you can throw with a good level of accuracy? I can throw about 320' with considerable accuracy, but can only tack 30' or so on that when I just sling it. Obviously, for all intents and purposes, that 30' is easy to sacrifice for the huge...

    Challenger vs. Wizard

    I love both these putters.To me, they are head and shoulders above anything else I try. Normally, I'm not one to pay attention to numbers, but looking at joe's universal chart, they are rated exactly the same. I'm trying to pick one and stick with it, so maybe you all can help. To you, what are...

    All this "Polecat" malarkey.

    In all sincerity, why do people hate this disc? I've never thrown one, for what it's worth.

    Turnover vs. Forehand?

    I throw RHBH and RHFH with similar skill. Thus, I have just used a forehand and never really bothered working on a turnover, which seems to be the more popular shot. Are there any differences between the two that I may be overlooking? As far as I can tell, both will start straight and finish...
