Just getting back into the game after having our baby at the end of 2012. Love her to death, but we haven't had the time to play while she was so little. Now that she's big enough to go with us and ride around the park in her stroller, my wife and I are trying to get back to playing at least once a weekend.
Towards the end of my run before the baby was born, I was being instructed by a lot of the better locals that I shouldn't even try to do run-ups so early in my career (if you can call it that :doh: ). Once I stopped trying them, I did notice a good upswing in control and distance (probably a 50' increase and much less time spent in the woods for sure). As I'm getting back in, I'm noticing that I still have pretty good control, but my distance isn't close to what it used to be. I think I'm throwing my Leopard about 200' to 225', and maybe a bit longer than that when I can get it to come out just right (nose down and whatnot).
So my question(s) is this: Do you think I should wait until I feel like my distance has returned from stand-still throwing before getting back to a run-up? Or possibly keep throwing stand-stills until I plateau? When did you guys mixing in your run-ups?
