Name that Shot

[tmahan]

I think I heard once in disc golf monthly about a guy throwing chicken wing shots.

I have an ace with one (old #4B at Seneca Creek). Tom Edwards is the man with the wing however.

scoober or scoobie (roller)

Scoobers are not rollers - and scoobie is an incorrectly-said name for a scoober that got said so much that it came into the vocabulary.

Very useful and under used. :thmbup:

I know over 30 ways to throw a disc (including right hand, left hand, right foot, left foot). Most grips can be thrown forward or backward, upside down, or right side up. I find that in disc golf you only need two: one with clockwise spin and one with counterclockwise spin.
Here's some more:
Knucklebee (putt or rescue),
Floater (minimal spin lob)
1 finger spin (show off putt),
Two hand pizza toss (no spin putt),
The Finger, similar to backhand but using middle finger on rim, thumb underneath and index finger on top. This is one of the most useful unusual grips because it is good for above the head throws from trouble.
Still working on the freestyle technique of slapping your hands together at release to add speed and spin.

 

[Chiefstang]

Mulligan.

Lousy shot.

I wanna take that shot again.

That one has no shot.

I'm shot. I'll be in the car.

I generally agree but it's also helpful to have some sort of overhead (tomahawk, thumber, turbo, etc) for those rare lies in the rough where you have no room for any of the 'normal' shots.

I think most people confuse hammers and scoobers. I haven't really seen people throw actual scoobers in disc golf - mainly it's hammer putting that gets called a scoober or scoobie. Either way it's not a roller though.

 

[bwiese]

I didnt look up or read all that crap, but isnt a scoobie when you throw the disc on its lid to slide under objects, or get a weird skip to help your lie?

This ^ boy's more mixed up than a feather in a whirlwind!

 

[JTacoma03]

Interesting, never seen that before.

So there's two scoober shots evidently...well that'll just add to the confusion.

Now looka here son, if you ask any disc golf world champ what a scoober is, they will tell you its a roller. The only confusion comes from Ultimate players which is a different sport.

Typical disc golf arrogance, disregarding that our sport came from freestyle and that without freestyle we would be nothing... So if we start calling softball bunts "scrappies" is it acceptable just because its a different sport? I think baseball purists may cry foul.

I say boy, disc golf was around before freestyle.
