A week of this led on Tuesday to my longest ever throw, getting on for 500'
That's truly awesome! I have started thinking about lowering my disc weight... I've been throwing almost all 170-175g discs... the RoadRunner is 167g and is just SUPER touchy to flip. A few shots last night were flattening about 275' out and then starting to turn, but never fading at all... losing quite a bit of distance from other flips.
This is what I despise about hyzer flips for distance and why I tend to throw -2 turn 2 fade discs and let the disc do the turning for me.
Thank you HUB for your very motivational articles - they have finally made me go back and work on my own form in the field in a way I should have done years ago but was just too lazy to do properly.
Now here's hoping I can convert this improvement to the course and that the impending arrival of a baby doesn't throw me out for the next 4 years...
Good luck w/ the bambino and I'm stoked to hear that the articles got some fires lit to make some adjustments.
It does seem incredibly easy to slide back into more comfortable habits, especially when those things don't necessarily show up in an obvious negative way. If you know exactly what shot you throw at your home course, your body does it - the disc is in bird range - you just reinforced that you're doing it right.
No question, I've found that anhyzer shots with a wider rim are much harder to leverage and hold onto the disc to the hit. I've slipped out early at least 75% of the time during rounds when I'm throwing a Destroyer.
I can throw a teebird or similar rim width just fine, but the wider rims are substantially harder for me to hold to the right pec. If I do it slowly, I can feel my grip weakening as I keep my nose angle down (coffee pouring) and my wrist starts bending more and more. I can actually feel my pinky and ring finger losing ability to squeeze at a certain point.
This is pretty specific to anhyzer only.
Anybody figure that out?
