Technique Poll - What Are You?

[mashnut]

I checked BH only, I will throw overhand or forehand, but only if absolutely necessary.

 

[CwAlbino]

I throw offhand forehand dominant and I kick putt with my third leg.

Do you get called on falling putts often?

 

[bazillion]

Drive = BH mainly
Approach = Both, depending
Putt = Turbo mainly

 

[sidewinding]

I try to throw an annie on every shot. If the fairway curves to the left I will either flick an annie with my right hand or backhand an annie with my offhand. If the fairway curves to the right I will either flick an annie with my offhand or backhand an annie with my dominant hand.

I suck but the satisfaction I get from being a rebel trumps being a good player.

...when you're working with an annaconda...

 

[adam423]

Much prefer to use backhand. But a few holes I'll throw forehand or if I get in trouble. Also overhand(tomahawk usually) through trees or if I have to go up a wicked hill.

 

[JoshBusche27]

I used to be only backhand. Until I actually started playing disc golf. Then I realized in order to get better I had to work on my FH. so...
BH&FH (BH putt)

 

[sillybizz]

I use almost every shot ever invented except for the chicken wing, so I put BH/FH/OH/BH putting because there was no option for a turbo putt, which I use within 25-35 feet and anything 35-50 is a BH spin style putt.

Yeah sadly the poll would only allow 10 options so I decided to put the more obvious. Definitely a unique style though.

 

[justin]

I'm backhand with all sorts of understable discs for all different distances but I'm a lob putter. Putting style would be an interesting question. Both stance and style (lob, line drive, hyzer, S-turn, etc)

Discs that go right for me (long to short):
Beat Force
SL
Sidewinder
TeeBird, JLS
Beat Buzz, Meteor
Stratus

The sweet thing about those who can turbo well is that it's a fast spinning shot and if you do miss it's going to hit the ground sooner than to toss from the hip so (should you miss) your comeback really is a gimmie.

 

[DiscJunkie]

I throw LHBH, RHFH, and thumbers and Tommies with my right hand.
So, I don't throw FH much.
My FH and OH are usually just for getting out of trouble.

 

[mcduffiejc]

I am definitely starting to see that I am the only FH putter on the board and not that many like to throw FH either.

 

[simpletwist]

BH/FH, putt BH. But I'll try any shot I think will advance my disc. Primarily I drive FH because I get much greater distance. And usually BH approaches because I have better contol and accuracy.

 

[Mikie4]

I typically drive for distance with a FH, although my FH only has about 20-30 feet on my BH drive. On shorter holes or approach shots I use my BH if I need to throw a line or fade left and my FH if I need to fade right. I'm definetly better at judging distance with my backhand, so I use this 95% of the time for approach shots unless I need to fade hard right. As for putting, I definetly putt BH but I haven't decided which way to throw yet. I can flick, spin, and turbo, but I need to practice. Overall, I think I make more spin putts than anything. I also OH for trouble shots and through trees, but I bought an Epic to try out mainly because I used to play baseball and have heard a lot of stories about baseball players launching epics, lol.

You know I have never been able to get the turbo putt down. It really just doesn't work for me. I am starting to think it's because I have bitch hands!

 

[XxInnovaxX]

Can i say all of the above..lol....

Drive Distance = Fh
Drive Accuracy = Bh
Approach = both, depending, mainly bh
Putt = Bh, fh or turbo if nec.

*also will use OH and Rollers for drives and approach shots, just depends on the situation

 

[Manu10]

I have a much better forehand opposed to backhand. I am working a little more on the backhand though.

 

[vonDrehle]

I can do all three if the situation calls for it. However I can only get maybe 200 feet forehand and probably a little less then that overhand.

 

[Midnightbiker]

I do whatever is necessary to get that piece of plastic into that unforgiving basket and I would recommend that everyone practice everything because if you are throwing solely one way then you are going to get torn up on any decently hard course

I am starting to learn that. I need to work on my forehand shot, because sometimes that is the only option.
