Thanks for clarifying!

Is there a difference between a disc being a "straight shot" versus a disc being "stable"? I always thought these two meant the same thing someone wrote something that is making me think otherwise: "the hornet is stable and the buzz is more of a str8 shot"

Not much, tryin to gets as many rounds in as I can in the winter, yourself? btw thx for posting the YouTube vidoes for noobs!

Hi! I'm new here. Disc golfing somewhat regularly since august or so of last year.

Can I have a $1.50? ;)

Does cold/freezing weather affect a discs flight? Does it become more understable/stable/overstable in colder weather?

Glad I'm not the only one!

The scorecard on this site asks for the number of putts on a given hole, is this something people generally keep track of?

Thanks guys! i was just playing a casual round, but I didnt know where to throw from since the tee itself was a wreck.

I play a course that has dirt tees. Currently the tees are a muddy mess, what are the rules for teeing off? ...suck it up and drive from the mud pit (potentially further wrecking the tee) ...or drive next to the tee where there is grass/less mud (potentially making the mess bigger if everyone...

LOL thanks keltik, I suspected as much since I wasnt seeing the same behavior with the new beast - but since i'm still not always consistent in my throws (newbie) I wasnt sure if it was me or the disc.

Here are pics of the disc, is this generally considered a very beat up disc?

@keltik actually there is one spot on the rim which is in somewhat bad shape (small chunk missing) from hitting a tree - i dont know if this would cause it?

I should also note that I have a new 170g DX beast,which I can throw about the same distance and it doesnt go off to the left (LHBH). When I mean "go off to the left" i mean it leave my hand to the left, and also seems to hook to the left, and not fall to the right naturally (again, LHBH, not...

@Frank - Well its a 168g DX, hit quite a few trees with it. I can only throw it about 220-230' on a good day (Yes, I've recently learned that I should be throwing slower discs, I've been really digging my 175 DX leopard which i found i can throw about the same distance, with less effort)

@Brother Dave, thanks for the explanation! I'm trying to figure out of a Beast I've been throwing is a flippy POS yet or if I'm just poorly throwing it now.

@Brother dave, ah so "flippy" is neither understable or overstable - does "flippy" mean it just flips somewhat vertically and flies like a POS?

hmm does less stable (more flippy) mean understable or overstable, or does it mean neither of those? (apologies for not knowing, but this is the newbie thread, right? :))

During a discs "lifetime", does it tend to become more stable, overstable or understable? I understand that a disc needs to be "broken in" in order to fly somewhat like the description, but what happens *after* that? does it become more stable as it gets beat up?

What does it mean when people list a disc and put something like "8/10" or "9/10" as part of its description?
