Thanks!

That’s a great idea! Not sure I can get a golf cart on such short notice

Yeah maybe I should make the contest be Disc Golfer vs. ultimate players. So if I have the pro throw whatever kind of disc he wants from 100 yds out and have the ultimate players & fans throw from like 35-50 yds out, that could be cool! Good idea!

Aria is the official disc for the game so I don’t want to highlight them in the halftime show. that’s sponsored by Innova. Don’t know that anyone else other than the Innova pro knows how to throw a good roller. But yeah maybe showcasing some unique throwing skills at the end might be cool...

I thought about something like SkillShot, but thought it would be so cool as trying to hit the basket. Thanks!

Aria is the only other approved USAU championship level disc. We approached several disc manufacturers with a sponsorship package for the event and Aria made us the best offer. Distance could be good idea? But I figured even the pro isn’t gonna be able to throw a Superclass 300’

The Color of Ultimate is an event this weekend in Atlanta that’s showcasing players of color. I’m coordinating the halftime show. Innova is our halftime sponsor and I’m trying to fine tune a halftime show featuring a local Innova ambassador. So Innova wants to reach more Ultimate players but...

Houck course in galoshes or some lower tier course along the way....crap weather

How’s the course near Slidell? Anything coming in town thru Meridian or Hattiesburg that’s good?

Ouch! Yeah forecast just took a turn! I’m cool with rain but hopefully not torrential downpour!

In town for the GrandMasters Ultimate Tourney at UNO this weekend. Looking to hook up with some locales to play the John R Houck course on Friday. Anyone up for a $5 singles or dubs round this Friday? I could start anytime between 10-11am. Chris 205-737-5312

Chevis, Are you or have you ever been a USAU member? (Or UPA back in the day) I think that getting more players who have experience with other disc sports would help to improve the flight group testing process. The disc standards committee is pretty much Ultimate players only, so I think...

So since the disc is low speed, do you think that makes flight testing easier or harder? Since it’s supposed to be a “Neutral” Disc could you say, 0. Throw disc at 50% power at 20 & 40 yd. distance to do one set each yo stationary and moving receiver, record turn and fade for disc for each...

There are definitely differences in Ultimate discs. On my last test discs sent to me from USAU, one was a similar mold to the ultrawtwr but was much easier to throw inside out RHFH. My son gained 20uds on his I/O flick and had improved spin. Your right on the money m, the flight chawvyrttics...

I’m a part of the disc standards test group with USA Ultimate and I believe that flight charrsrisctics are a vital statistic that is missing from the certification process. Although Ultimate discs are inherently low speed disc, why couldn’t the same methodology be applied to determine flight...
