Hey guys. I'm a regular here, I read the new posts everyday, multiple time a day... I might be addicted. However, I also try to make it to the dangerous outside world once in a while to actually throw some plastic, and boy do I enjoy doing so.
I'm 25
I have been playing for two years, but really only 14-16 months of actual playing (winter is brutal here and with University, I did not take the time to practice on the snow). I learned from local player (very few!!) and watching pro on youtube and such.
BHLH and occasionally use the sidearm, I would really like to improve the side arm eventually.
Distance : Hard to tell. I only play two courses (that's all we've got here) and the distance is marked on one of them, but I really don't trust them.
Me feeling is :
Putter : Wizard - 250
Mids : Buzzz and Roc - 275
Control driver : Leopard, Teebird 340
Distance driver : Sidewinder, PD, Katana, Boss, ... 380
I know I have pushed drive past 400 before, but I'm not sure I can do this regularly... (I should really use a range finder and check it out.)
These are rough guests really... it's possible I'm actually overestimating myself of even underestimating myself, you guys be the judges on that.
In this Video, I throw a putter, a few mids and several drivers (fairway and distance)
Things to consider while watching :
Time
1:00 (shank drive)
I throw my s PD during the warm up throws and I pretty much shank it, looking at the throw, I'm not sure what went wrong.
4:39 (shank drive)
I throw my s PD for the second time, same result more or less. Surprisingly, my s PD is usually my most constant driver
2:54 (sidearm)
I throw my Firebird sidearm on what turns out to be always a spike hyzer...!
What I thought after watching the vids (first time I actually see myself throw)
I don't pull on a straight line. I think I reach back OK but then, I pull low, getting my disc of line and then throw upward sort of...
I also noticed that I don't throw very well without a specific target. I will do a follow up video in which I will try to aim at something precise and hopefully mimic the situation on a course.
Now, the special of the day, My bag critique! I figure that since you see my form, you might as well give me your suggestion on my bag. I do have several disc that I rotate in and out, but I'll give you the 10 discs I usually don't play a tourney without.
Putter : SS and SSS Magic (175g)
Driving putter : Medium Wizard (175g) for approach and drive
Mids :
Star San Marino Roc (177g) (stable mid, always finish right (LhBh).
ESP Buzzz, very beat up, it's pretty understable now. Hyzer flip duty, nice long hyzer and turnovers
Fairway drivers :
Star Leopard (175g) straight, hyzer flip and turnovers
Champion CFR Leopard (171g) straight and gentle hyzer drive
Champion CFR Firebird (167g) hyzer, forearm approach with skip, spike... utility disc but I do use if on driving sometimes
Z Avenger SS Very beat up, I cannot really throw this one at full power without turning it into a roller. Roller disc, very severe anhyzer and 70% power hyzer flip.
Drivers :
DX Teebird (x2) (one beat up, one that I keep fresh)
s PD (beat up) (17?g)S drive, nice long hyzer, straight sidearm
Champion Sidewinder (17?g) big s curve, downhill and tailwind specialist
Champion Boss (17?g) in the wind, big hyzer, flex shots
I do have a Champion Gator for windy day and overstable duty, but I never actually used it in a tournament or even on more than one round.
Well, that's it... for now. I should receive today an order from Gateway with new Wizard (G9i and Evo) and different mids I want to try (Element, Warrrior) and other disc I don't remember.
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video and critique my form. Don't try to be kind or anything, I know I'm not a very good disc golf player, but I believe I have the physical ability to become one and that's why I want to work on my form.
I apologize in advance for my slow response time, I will be away for several hours. But I will come back and comment. Thank you.
