This^^HAHAHAHA
I am new. I've played about 12 rounds over the last couple months. I wouldnt say I'm a beginner any more. Sorry to be a noob, best way to learn is to ask right?
Unless you are a Natural, throwing 12 rounds still marks you as a beginner in terms of form....
Distance is not because of strength, it is all about form. If Don Knots had great form, he would out-drive Carl Weathers from Predator with bad form.
I don't get the Groove hate either. If that many people are saying it, there is probably something to it. But there is also more to inconsistency than the disc. It can be wind, OAT, all sorts of things other than the disc. So when someone says sometimes the disc is crazy stable and other times it turns and burns it makes me think it was other factors. Throw the groove with a headwind + OAT and of course it is going to roll. Throw it with a tailwind and hyzer and of course it is a meathook. But then to say the disc is terribly inconsistent wouldn't follow. Make sense?
alright, lots of not so quality information going on in here. The groove is bad for 2 main reasons:
1. No two grooves are the same. They mold up rather inconsistently, so if you get a good one/one you like (rare) it will be impossible to replace.
2. the margin of error the thrower has is very small. You have to get the perfect combination of speed, nose down, and angle, otherwise it will turn and not come back, or it will fade hard and early. most people just don't have the ability to hit that combo every time. Most of the most popular discs have greater margins of error, for a good reason
I think Frank D said: "Every groove is a unique snowflake of suck"

If you throw "slower" discs (discs with a lower speed rating, say below 7 for Innova) you will not need as much power (good form) to get them to fly properly. Completely ignoring distance drivers until you know how to throw these discs reliably will do nothing but help you in the long run.
...
Warp speed drivers often mask poor form, or require you to use bad form in order for it to fly "properly." Either way, it is bad news for your game. If you use a slower disc, you will have more control of where it goes, and they will give you better feedback if your form is bad.
Interesting choice going with Don Knots and Carl Weathers. Especially choosing Predator Carl over Rocky Carl.
katana's, groove's, vulcan's, even boss's...etc. are all garbage. get a destroyer in your bag if you need that "extra" distance, they make it all plastics so even a noodle arm can get distance with either a beat to sh!@#t pro destroyer or dx destroyer. on a side note I actually threw an ape yesterday, i must say, its def. the best out of all the other 600 speed discs. its flippy as all hell tho
An Ape is supposed to be a more overstable Boss, and a newbie shouldn't throw Destroyers if they plan on trying to be good at this game.
This is horrible advice.
Katana pro=poop. Katana Star=money.
In all seriousness, it's intermittently like an over-glided, slightly-gelded Boss.
