    The inevitable 2020 Pros switching sponsor/DD hate thread

    Wait, Gwen 1994-1998, or modern? Because those are two VERY different Gwens.

    [Millennium] Millennium Falcon

    Is this a Falcon? I got it in a player's pack and just lost my beat in Star Destroyer, so I'm looking for a new straight to turn distance driver. I also got a max weight Shryke, so I'm going to throw them both a bit before a tournament this weekend and see which gets bagged.

    Nate Sexton boycotting DGPT?

    That was a class response by Nate. Good on him. It doused the fire of speculation, rumor and drama with a well though, calmed approach that didn't attempt to belittle any other body of work or organization while doing so. Good on him.

    The clown throwing plastic toys.

    I love the opportunity to expose unknowing people to the disc sports. I'll bring an Ultimate lid and throw it with kids that walk by, throw it into the wind for a big boomerang toss-and-catch, then use high-speed drivers to show the difference in aerodynamic qualities. I'm a teacher though...

    Strong tail wind test, curious results?

    For an example of the above idea (slower getting better glide), I have hit 100 yard field goals with an Ultimate Lid in some extreme Oklahoma tailwinds (winds around 20mph with 35ish gusts). If you give a putter some height and keep the nose angle down while doing it, you can easily see 350'...

    The Ask MJ & Comet Love Thread

    So, I have this Cryztal Comet from the 2013 Brent Hambrick Memorial Open that I just love. The problem is, it's flat topped. That's not the problem, I guess, it's more that I cannot stand having the dome of regular Comets and I love this disc (it's starting to get a bit flippy for shots I...

    Most EXTREME course you've ever played?

    Is that higher than the course in Leadville at the college? https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1138 It starts around 10.2k and climbs fairly well in places. I would be estimate that it gets similarly close in height to Santa Fe.

    The Michael Johansen Walk Off

    Tend to value people based on their appearance? Class act, sir! I tend to appreciate people for their skill, work ethic, personality, intelligence, knowledge, talent, humor, generosity, etc.... But hey, we're all different, right?

    [Question] ID a disc or ask "What is the story on this disc...?" - Take II

    I think you nailed it with the War Spear ID. Nicely done, sir! There is VERY LITTLE info on this disc online, but throwing it into the wind made me a believer that this thing is a total brick; I might wait for a whipping round to make any type of conclusion about whether or not that brick...

    [Question] ID a disc or ask "What is the story on this disc...?" - Take II

    No idea... Any clue what disc this is? It was in my prize pack after winning a tourney this weekend, and I'm clueless as to what it is. I can tell you that it's almost lid deep, it has some thumb track groove in the top, but not like a Birdie or Banger GT, it is a DX-esque plastic, it is very...

    H.o.D. 12/25/15 - Hole 10 @ Zephyr Cove Park - Zephyr Cove NV

    GL Fuse or a Cryztal Comet if calm or tailwind, and a Roc 3 if there's a headwind. Looks like a really fun hole.

    Throwing up hill

    I think it's odd that others are discing up to a higher speed. If it's just an incline, I'll agree. But if there's a crest followed by a decline, I'm discing down.

    Throwing up hill

    Understable, and disc down. Since you'll be throwing high, most likely on a hyzer flip, you need to make sure you control the fade. If you use a higher speed but understable driver, or faster disc, you still get a lot of stalling out then fade in the final 1/5 of the flight or so. When I'm...

    2015 Tourney Videos

    His step-through foot is well on the ground by the time he releases the disc. Look around the 9:45 mark and you can see his foot heavily on the ground prior to releasing the disc. Whether or not people will call him on it has nothing to do whether or not it was legal or even ethical. Just seems...

    2015 Tourney Videos

    I thought the video, from a production standpoint, was as good as it gets. I agree that some of the cut-in's and out's were firing off pretty fast, but that seemed to find a slower pace for the latter half of the video. Beyond that, the commentary, hole information, angles and coverage were top...

    HOD 10/2/2015: Codorus Township Park Hole 7 in Glen Rock, PA

    Going with a Cryztal Comet, RHBH directly at the left side of the gap with a soft turnover. Should go clean. Those soft, late annies are my specialty shot for some reason. I love that type of shot.

    sorry. No idea how to get this smaller in dropbox.

    2015 Tourney Videos

    Yeah, I can see how that statement could be be ambiguous. I meant that their foot that is supposed to remain grounded until the disc is released ("the plant foot") is so high in the air once the disc is released that it is almost to apex of their jump. I'm only willing to scan for a moment and...

    2015 Tourney Videos

    Saw that, though it was neither egregious or an advantage. Made his anny-line sharper if anything, but still illegal. I had a hard time watching that round for other reasons, though. If I could stomach it, I would watch that again and count all the illegal jump putts. Hear me out, I could not...
