    Should old guys stop throwing hard?

    This is kinda a dilemma I've been having as well. I'm working on trying to increase hit power and "find" big snap. So here's my question: is it possible to get big snap (full hit) with 75-80% power? Or is big snap something that can only happen when one throws with max power or a certain...

    Shoulder rotation and "edge around" throwing.

    That makes sense. I think I had another lightbulb click. It's pretty much the right side's only job to manage that weight. I feel like my whole left side's job is to sort of contract into my mid point of the throw. When I'm going to that point, my right side just needs to track correctly to the...

    Shoulder rotation and "edge around" throwing.

    What is it that redirects it? shoulder rotation? or wrist extension? or the pinch? It feels like the farther I put it in the pocket, the harder it is to get it back out before the target line / hit point. I can't find a feeling forceful enough to redirect that 20-40 lbs that late in the throw...

    Why is a "pop top" desirable?

    We've all heard someone step up to the tee pad and start popping their disc like it's some little heart beat. Why does everyone want this pop sound out of a "good" disc? I've got discs that make no pop, ones that do pop naturally but softer, and some that definitely qualify as poppy. Sometimes...

    Heel Pivot and Weight Transfer

    I watched the slow motion vid of Avery Jenkins and one of Will Schusterick and a lot of things clicked. What was happening is I was applying power at the wrong time. I was so focused on getting the disc in the "pocket" and waiting for something magical to happen that by the time my pinch power...

    Heel Pivot and Weight Transfer

    When I get it right it feels like 4 parts firing in a chain. Hips, torso, left leg, wrist. The shoulder and left leg seem to go at about the same time.

    Heel Pivot and Weight Transfer

    After practicing this weekend, I think I'm a lot closer to understanding how the timing of the hips / shoulders generate a proper throw. As these two things happen somewhat correctly, actively pushing the left foot causes the right leg / foot to naturally pivot on their own accord; so it's...

    Heel Pivot and Weight Transfer

    I think pushing with the left leg is what I'm missing / not actively doing. I will work on this. I can't remember where I read (on DGR) about the foot orientation being less than 90 degrees. I think it was by either Blake T or Brad Walker. What I remember was someone saying that us normal...

    Heel Pivot and Weight Transfer

    I've read numerous posts about the aspects of foot pivot. In trying to convert from a toe pivot to a heel pivot, I'm running into a few problems. I understand the dynamics of how it needs to happen, but I can't get my weight shift right to where a heel pivot feels right. In my understanding...

    Attempting to compile DGR BH knowledge into a video

    you might think about adding a section on foot pivot as well.

    MVP's new driver -- Volt

    2x for nice run on last hole. I saw a little flip on the last drive, was that OAT or wind affecting it? Does it naturally flip a little? If so, at what distance?

    MVP's new driver -- Volt

    C'mon MVP!! Give me something. I've been waiting (very patiently) as I'm sure others are as well. And all I get is radio silence. Week after week I keep checking for a release date, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know of at least a ball park release date? Fall? Winter? Never? This is...

    MVP Disc Sports - Official Thread

    I got an email about soft neutron anodes. Anyone tested them out? I'm assuming they released soft neutron ions too, idk.

    MVP Ion

    Anyone tried an ion in neutron plastic? My local store just got them in.
