3 fingers or 4?

DON'T use 3 fingers because some old guy threw 350ft and told you to try it!!!!!!
Stick with the 4 finger power grip and then I would suggest learning an "accuracy" grip like a fork or fan grip. I use my "accuracy" grip on anything up to 400ft and it works much better for mids since you have more flightplate control than with a normal power-grip.

I started out 3 finger, but now it just feels weird. I even used to 3 finger mid range discs...but then I started power gripping those too. I do have a friend though who's been playing 7 years or something like that...he started really young. He really well backhand and only does 3 finger.

i couldn't get used to the 4 finger grip so i tried the fork grip. It works a lot bett for me. especially for midranges.
Its hard to do a 4 finger grip on fiarway drivers for me. something about the narrow rim mixed with long fingers just doesn't feel right.

I often wonder if they use it because it's so good or if they use it because they're so good.
In other words, is it using that grip that is making them so good or is their outstanding ability opening up doors with that grip that are closed to others.
Could it be possible that this "top ten" grip is an advanced technique that mere amateurs won't get the same advantage from, in the same way that we won't get much advantage from certain kinds of discs? For example, it occurs to me that the top pros all have super-huge bomber arms that have no need for distance-enhancing grips. They could probably throw a driver 400' flat-footed with whatever grip they like, so with no need for distance-enhancing grips, they all choose a more control-oriented grip.
The fork grip gets the nose down, at least when the disc is sitting in your hand. Switch between the fork and power grips and it's pretty obvious. The longest throw I've ever had was with the fork grip. Now, if I could just figure out how to do that regularly...
It isn't like the grip is magical or anything.......a lot of players use it ranging from Rec players up to Pros. They use a 4 finger power grip along with a modified stack/fork grip.

Three finger all day....unless you are going for an Anhyzer which requires snap...then go four
very stable discs use four, bu release again helps too:thmbup:
