Rank your skills

[Halcón]

Pretty simple, although this could probably be tweaked.

Rank yourself according to PDGA divisions. Are you a pro putter, but have a weak arm? Good at approaches but stink in the circle?

For myself:

Driving Overall: Rec
FH: Novice-Rec
BH: Rec-Int

Approaching: Int-Adv
Putting: Int
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): Novice

Mental game: Novice

The only thing I'm a pro at is being inconsistent.

How about you?

Approaching: Int-Adv
Putting: Int
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): noobsauce

Mental game: Infant

I do fine during mini's, local events and casual rounds with mpo/advanced players, but when it comes to go time during a big tournament, it's like I forget everything I'd been working on and don't implement any of it in to my game. Throwing with friends (980-1000 rated) I'm comfortable with, I hit lines, bang chains, and everything falls in to place. Just gotta put more pressure on myself during practice/casual rounds to try to mimic tournament stress. Haven't found a way to really do that yet though.

[tdschrock1]

Driving Overall: Adv (I get off the tee well, although not super far)
FH: Novice (I can do touch FH approaches at a Int level)
BH: Adv

Approaching: Int
Putting: Int
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): Novice

Mental game: Adv

 

[Moose33]

Driving Overall: Low level pro
FH: Pro
BH: Adv

Approaching: Adv
Putting: Int
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): Pro

Mental game: Mental game is strong but I am prone to short bouts of putting yips.

 

[Geneva]

Driving overall: Low Pro (I can easily reach 400 (500 max) but I'm lacking precision)
Backhand: Pro
Sidearm: 1 out of 2 is Int, the other is Am (300 max, but I feel money under 200 with my FD2)

Approaching: Adv (takes me 2 strokes from 200 and under 2 times out of 3)
Putting: Adv on a bad day, Pro on a good one (we don't have a lot of wind here)
Speciality: Int-Adv (Adv (but 450 distance) for rollers, Int for the rest)

Mental game: I play a lot better in tournaments than in casual rounds, but I'll say Adv (bad choices sometimes).

My main problem is consistency (my rating can go from 894 (and it's counting...) to 1030), but it's getting better.

 

[Reniger]

Driving Overall: Int
FH: N/A
BH: Adv

Approaching: Adv (RHBH only)
Putting: Int
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): AM2

Mental game: Pro! On ice! (nevermind, about a 6 out of 10)

 

[Stardoggy]

Driving Overall: Int
FH: Int
BH: Int

Approaching: Int
Putting: Adv/Open
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): Novice all the way

Mental game: Int

My main issue is concentration. I'm great at focusing on putts. I'm ok on approaches. Drives are my major issue. I can throw Adv. distance, but my accuracy can be all over the place. Sometimes I'm spot on, sometimes I have no clue where it's going. If I could ever get my drive and approach focus where my putting is, I'd be dangerous. I've got some serious issues with distractions.

[dobbins66]

Mental game: Int

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

Driving Overall: Advanced
FH: Open/Pro (shot shaper extraordinaire)
BH: Advanced

Approaching: Open/Pro (my forehand upshot game is my bread and butter)
Putting: Open/Pro
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): Intermediate, rarely used

Mental game: Sometimes advanced, sometimes pro. If I engage hyperfocus, I am infallible. If I am drunk, I plummet to intermediate, though.

I guess I'm the only one who has reached "Legendary" status on every level.

Keep up the hard work guys, one day....

 

[Nemmers]

What are "skills?"

 

[DiscJunkie]

Interesting question.

Driving Overall: Rec
FH: Novice-Rec
BH: Adv
Approaching: Int
Putting: Adv
Specialty (Rollers, thumbers...etc): Pro at thumbers, Rec/Novice for everything else
Mental game: Adv

Way too inconsistent in my full-power-throwing for my taste, but it is something that I am working on.
The rest of my game has gone to crap while I busy myself transforming my form.
My mental game is good, but not great.
Putting has been a strong point for years and regularly practice at home.
The part of my game that has suffered the most during my form-concentration has been my approach game.
150' and in is all about touch and I have no confidence whatsoever.
I will work on it, but in due time.
In the meantime, still searching for the consistent 300' putter form.

Nemmers, how is the great NorthWest treating you??
We miss you down here...

I'm in the Midwest now, Brant. Des Moines, Iowa, to be specific. When I left NC I couldn't even fathom having a more involved, enthusiastic, and welcoming disc golf community, but the Iowa capital surprised the heck outta me. Started a sanctioned league (515 Disc Golf) and have to order another 25 bag tags for it to get to 100 because there's been such a demand. The reception I've gotten has shocked me and stoked me in equal measures.

I miss y'all too....but Des Moines couldn't have been a better follow up to North Carolina. Great people, AWESOME courses, and a community have made me not regret moving for a second....though I do miss the Castle and my peeps who taught me so much. But if you ever find yourself traveling through....look me up! You got a place to stay and a local who will be happy and honored to show you what we have here. Take care, brother!
