This course has come a long way, with three varying pin placements on nearly all holes thanks to hardworking volunteers. Some holes are hard to get in three! As of 1/28/14 pins are mostly in long positions, but there are birdie holes and it is possible to shoot under par.
Any easy course to play...
Wow one day registered on DGR and I've already started a flame war:(
How is attempting to improve driving distance not DG related? You have your logic and I hear it, but I'm disagreeing that you would see those RESULTS. And I fear one might build up bad habits, i.e. off-axis torque etc. that...
Hmm not to be controversial--but I pretty much completely disagree with this post! (I'm not a pro but I can throw 400' with some accuracy, and 350 with pretty consistent accuracy, and more importantly 300 with a lot of accuracy) In my experience learning to apply torque in a controlled way to...
My star mako is MUCH flippier than my Z buzzz. (both pretty new.) Good compliment actually, will take different lines. Mako is easy to throw very far or throw a long anheiser--just holds it--seems more predictable on the anny actually.
I disagree with the speed thing somewhat....Champion Leopard is my absolute favorite disc and it's only a speed 6. I don't even own a DX one. But I like 'em pretty stable and I like them to stay the same for a long time--I carry a small bag and like to have a 'money' disc I know/love. I pretty...
Playing catch is good advice. Practice throwing softly, nose slightly up, with lots of spin. On open holes I usually just throw a hyzer to 'go for it' on shots past 80 feet. 40-80 feet work on a high aneiser shot that will fall back, to give it a chance to go in but not blow past it.
Just keep the roc for more overstable shots OR get a newer shark for those shots. New/heavy or premium plastic sharks are about as stable as rocs anyway. I assume the shark you currently use is DX and somewhat broken in?
Carry only 1 disc (star aviar putter for me in this case) or 2 or three (putter, champ leopard.) Sprint every hole for a workout. Throwing putter only rounds makes me throw my drivers farther the next time out with the whole bag.
DX Shark or any plastic Coyote seem like obvious omissions from this list! I currently throw DX Rancho Roc for this shot though. You can't go wrong with any of these, throw what you know.
This myth may be busted:

Thorough physical warmup is the key, simply stretching may actually weaken the muscles you intend to use. Since reading this I've made a point of warming up...
If both are champion very little difference in stability. If you're just flipping everything I really doubt a disc change will give you more success/accuracy/scoring in a tournament.
Clearly working out the technique issue is the solution--bring all your drivers to a field and keep flicking...
I agree--I have a 175 Star EX that is fairly beat-in that is just money, very controllable and easy to throw dead straight or with a bit of touch turnover or heyser if needed.
I use a Z Buzz and FLX Buzz combination. The FLX is my standard and I use the Z if it's windier or I want more fade--I find it that much more stable than the FLX. I have some Wasps but they are pigs, I don't often need a midrange that is that overstable.
As others have said--the answer is not a different putter, the answer is learning how to putt!
Instead of different putters invest your money in a basket for your back yard, put all your various putters in a pile 24 feet from the basket and fire away 100 per day.
Just remember the power comes...
