This is going to be a little touchy

[t i m]

I've played with one guy missing their index finger who could rip a disc. Don't remember the exact grip, but I know it can be overcome.

LOL!! That's gonna be very intersting. I can tell you that you can't pussiefoot around it. You can only address the fact that he has a stub and have him throw just like he throws with little instruction. Then afterward, advise him where to put his...um....finger on the disc based on how he threw. Who knows, his stub might not be a hinderance.

Well, all this was in vain, because I knocked on his door this morning before I left, and he never came to the door. I guess he changed his mind.

Ha! You got off easy!!

Shouldn't be a biggie...

I lost my left index a few years ago and actually this is one sport where I never notice it (I am a lefty).

Sucks for bowling...sucks for tennis...doesn't seem to bother me in disc golf.

We just started playing again a couple weeks ago.

I can't believe this is my first post...sheesh.

We have a local player missing a few fingers and he has a lot of spin on his forehand shots.

I would let that person feel for the right grip on their own. I love when I get advice, but sometimes it ruins my round if I keep hearing multiple things I'm doing wrong.

Make it more about fun. Go to a course you imagine where your friend would have an easy, fun time.

They will be hooked in no time.

This necro bump would have been more appropriate on Easter.
