First, if you don't know what the yips are, please look them up. I'm not going to explain them here. Bio: 49 years old now, left hand back hand player almost exclusively--almost never backhand. Max distance: 360ft. Had never heard of disc golf until I was 40. Started playing disc golf in...

The rules don't say "consumption", they say "possession". And if the beer was in Valerie's bag--if her caddy put the beer in a cup holder in Valerie's bag, then it is Valerie's beer . . . no matter if it was her caddy or another player or a spectator drinking it. The beer being put in one of the...

Hoeschel, thank you for the comment. Well, today, I had the breakthrough. I played in a one day tournament. Don't get wrong: I got my butt kicked in Advanced--I think I finished next to last in a field of 14 players. But . . . the disc was going where I wanted. I was nervous but I kept relying...

At Doubles League last night I felt WAY better. I wouldn't say I played great. But, my doubles partner was the same and we used 6 of my drives instead of 1 of them like last week. And really in another 3 occasions she and I landed in about the same place. So, we could've used up to 9 of my...

What is also hard to figure out is that it's not like my competitiveness has gotten stronger in the last couple years. I've ALWAYS wanted to win. But up until about mid-2015 I never had any issues like this. And I was playing well. Then, boom, all of a sudden, discs are going all over the place.

Thanks for the comment. I think the main issue is these yips don't show up in practice. I NEVER grip lock anything in practice. Yes once in a while when I'm playing a casual round by myself I may have a couple crazy throws but it's not due to a mental issue. If I could create the conditions in...

I should've added that my miss when I'm feeling like this is a grip lock like nobody has ever seen. If straight ahead is 12 oclock, my miss is at like 10 o'clock (I'm left handed). A complete torquing over anny grip lock that will fly a LONG way. I think the reason this happens, although I have...

I'm sorry it's taken SO long to get back on to this thread. Frankly, the reason I haven't is because I didn't play much disc golf after June 2017. Lots of things going on. I bet I only picked up my discs 5 times between August and December--and I live in Florida where we can play year round. I...

I'm a high level Intermediate to mid level Advanced player--99% backhander. And sometimes right in the middle of a round, I'll get the feeling when I grip the disc that it's not going to leave my hand when I throw it. The feeling comes out of nowhere--never happens in practice. And it, of...

4.00 star(s) New pads, new signs, great course --New short and long cement pads as of 12/18/2016. --New beautiful tee signs with correct lengths, holes numbers, and directions to next tee as of 12/24/2016. --equal number of lefty and righty holes. Doesn't favor one side over the other. --Scenic location...

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, my injury wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was. That's the good news. The bad news is that it took me until about ten days ago to figure out the problem. Turns out, I do not have an SI Joint problem. After I wrote the original post I started researching that...

I tried to think about a dozen different ways to creatively say what I'm going to say but I couldn't come up with the right words. So, I'm just going to list a few points that haven't been mentioned yet in 400-some posts. 1. Everybody seems to have overlooked the filming itself. The people who...

JC Acehole and zgmc, you know what I find weird and fascinating. You also had/have pain in the lower right side of your back like I do. But . . . I'm lefthanded and you're both righthanded. It would seem it would be opposite for us. Hmmmmmm.

JC Acehole, I'd be interested to hear what kind of exercises you did. Because I really don't wanna go to PT. Ru4por, I hear what you're saying--I had a frozen shoulder (my non-throwing shoulder weirdly) 3 years ago and went to doctor. Then I went to specialist who shot me up with cortisone...

Before I respond, I want to say for the record (and since he just posted): My pain has NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what Sidewinder22 teaches in any of his videos. Let me make that absolutely clear. I mentioned his name in the original post and I should've been MORE clear that his...

So two weeks ago I suffered what may be my first injury that has started me wondering if I'll ever play disc golf again. I was the course two weeks ago. Feeling good. Playing decently well. Then with 4 holes to play, my lower back really started to hurt, and despite me being 46 years old, I've...

I haven't thrown the last two days. I really had to give my hand a rest. It was actually swollen for a couple days. Feeling better now but not 100%. I'll think about throwing tomorrow. Not sure what I did throwing forehand last weekend but my pointer and middle finger didn't like it at all.

sidewinder22, since I haven't been able to throw the last couple days due to the weather and my sore middle finger palm, I've been comparing the slow-motion video of your one-step BH to my own. Obviously there are many differences that make my throw inferior. But there's one concept I hope you...

Well, I totally agree with the stretching thing. Especially at my age of 44. But I don't think the pains I've had recently regarding forehand has been due to me being tight. It's been a factor of bad form leading my body to do things it shouldn't be doing. tu-f-o . . . I've had a sore middle...
