Throwing distance to my dog with these Hero Discs I feel is more similar to a big golf shot in dg versus a dg distance shot. I have to shape a shot that is trackable/collectible for a my dog to be able to catch, throwing a big distance line S curve especially being so high in air, very hard to...
I am going to guess its right after the hit. I was taught this by Marty Peters, used when I didn't want a disc to flip over like throwing into a headwind for example, also used for needing a hyzer flip on a lower line that wouldn't get a lot of lift on the flight.
Or maybe, I am totally off...
I think this might be worth a read, it's easily applied to DG Form.

With the different 235 discs, the Super Star ( taffy/star) and Super Hero ( candy/champion) are going to be more durable, and more stable in terms of dog discs. Then you have the Hero Air and Hero Extra, Im also really quite familar with these since they are required discs for the longest...
Something I forgot to mention, just popped into my head as I’m warming & stretching at the field right now .
Another big breakthrough 💥 was when I started doing 1-leg drills .
I realized omg that is so familiar , it’s what OG swing felt like from backswing to release.
Then it made it easier...
I will also add, throwing didn't come easy or natural for me, but it was rather my will not be outworked mindset like cwoj expressed.
you mentioned players getting injured trying to mimic Kusoka ? Curious to hear more about this . I thought his video about Janni was cringe- definitely was not...
Yes, yeah I met frisbee Rob last year competing in Indy. Timing wasnt right or ideal form wise for me though, still working through my form, and my goal last year was getting my dog used to the big stage events, and dealing with everything.
I should add, Rob throws to a lady in 🇨🇦 dogs, first...
World record would be Guniess Record, which has one for longest catch to dog, MTA to a dog, then few other gimmicky ones.
Each organization like quadruped, Hero Cup, Skyhoundz XD, updog’s far out - all have their own rules / records ect.
But reason now in hindsight, looking back with what I know and feel now.- my distance with less than optimal form I believe was due to using ground forces, leverage, and swing timing / late acceleration, and maybe grip or tendon strength? Not sure though
But it makes me think although the...
I’m 6’1 235lbs - I have a thicker muscular built, not far off from you . I’m still above any athletics, played Hs basketball, offers to play d3, but got into bodybuilding and powerlifting after HS. Still played bball in men’s league . I think from our age group, a lot athleticism can be genetic...
Yeah after I graduated college ( went later so graduated at like 27 or 28)
I stopped playing and training for disc , would here and there . So in the last 10 years I maybe threw in a field or at course a dozen times at most.
Long story short - my dog got my love for disc back, it was organic...
The way you utilizing the comet sounds a lot like myself, and throwing K9 Supersonics/Superstars
Everything you are describing and feeling just mirrors everything I'm experiencing .
Just recently returned to the course, and have been doing similar things with my supersonics and superstars.
ask...
I reached out to them last year to see if they could install their tech./sensor on a Hero disc dog disc for me. I gave the specs/weight/dimensions of the discs my dog and I utilize for long distance, Taffy supersonic 215 andHalo Superstar 235. They said they could do it, and that superstar 235...
