Mid-range messup

[tland447]

I am having troubles with my mid-range discs. I cant throw them without a flutter and them all going right. Can someone give me tips on how to grip a mid-range disc?

You most likely have Off Axis Torque. More info here:

Try using a soft grip with all 4 fingers. It helps me throw a Zephyr better.

With a power grip or control?

If by control you mean with your index on the outside of the rim, don't ever use that grip. It takes away power and control. Personally I like the Climo grip for mids and putters, you don't lose much power over a true power grip, but it's just more comfortable for me on deeper discs.

Yeah thank you for your intelligent answer I had no clue and you may have saved my disc golf carrer.

I don't know....call it what you want. What I'm saying is to hold it like a power grip but not too tightly. It helps me control it better and the loose grip helps me get it out there to the pin.

Intelligent or not....it was funny.

The ins and outs of grips: https://www.dgcoursereview.com/dgr/resources/articles/gripittoripit.shtml

This should help you find a grip that works for you. I had the same problem because of the size of my fingers and hands (short and stubby) and this article helped me out a lot.

Now my only problem is my midrange/putters all go right crash hard and roll. Please tell me if you get what im saying

Search old threads for OAT. Off access torque. My guess is that you are throwing really fast and stable drivers, and your form is a mess. It happens. I would suggest reading the Discing down thread and starting to play putter only rounds. But hopefully someone better than I will come on and give you a more detailed game plan. When my form goes bad I try to throw putters and my Fuse more. The Fuse and Comet are both good for smoothing out your form.

Definitely agree,I never really liked the way the comet felt in my hand(I know,satan) but the Fuse has helped me advance things along pretty quickly,definitely check one of those out and learn how to throw it on a rope.

You are probably rolling your wrist over (palm will face the sky immediately after the disc is gone), this imparts OAT and makes discs fly more understable. This is usually compensation for throwing discs that are too fast/too overstable (or both).

A good way to try and fix it is throwing slow, understable plastic on hyzers, and not allowing them to flip up. This works because it is very hard to make flippy plastic maintain a hyzer when you roll your wrist over.
