Hello all fellow disc golfers!
I just have a short question. Is it weird(should I keep doing it?) that I feel I can brace a lot better and thus throw farther with soccer shoes that have like quarter inch "spikes", I dont know the real word for them. It little weird to throw with them from a hard surface but in the woods or sand turf, you can really brace well and I feel like instant exit velocity boost. I know that my brace with normal shoes occasionally "leaks" and I dont get up on my plant foot properly, and that happens because I get greedy and try to take too long plant foot step. Is using soccer shoes now smart? Or is it detrimental and I should practice with normal shoes?
I dont have a video because my form has changed so much in the last few weeks that none of the existing videos that I have are really good in this sense. Also I read this forum so much that I have learned from others what I need to in my form, but this soccer shoe thing interests me.
For benchmark, I am comfortable driving about 330'' with putters and this seasons longest throws push 500''. 78'' wingspan and 8 years in the game.
Ok I found very old video of me throwing with soccer shoes on the course: (My run-up is WAY slower nowadays...)

PS. I call them soccer shoes because this I believe is an American forum. In my heart they are football shoes..
