The banger is plenty stable for even a 300 ft throw. I have a Pro-D Banger that is my primary driver for most shots under 300ft. It is pretty beat up as I have *banged* many trees with it, but it its a nice sturdy disc that holds its fundamental shape. Mine is scuffed up, but hasn't taco'd (I...

I always used to look sideways on anything > 100ft. Then I started keeping my eye on the basketfor all 0 to 250ft shots and found that I had increased accuracy on those longer approaches. It did take a little adjustment though because for some reason, just having my head in a different...

In my area, one of our park districts has opened two courses that are $3 a game or $30 season pass. I would say the quality of these courses is definitely worth the price. Even though we have some great free courses that are not too far away, I would probably rather play the pay ones. Mostly...

Yeah thats a good deal at gotta go, I have taken advantage of that one myself. Its nice when your driver of choice is a very inexpensive disc and you can get a bunch cheap for field practice. 5 star wraiths or similar new discs would cost you $70+. Of course they would last longer, but for...

I have been trying out all kinds of different putters lately. I have been using JK aviars for most of my time disc golfing. They are pretty good, but used the 4x version which is a lot gummier than the 5x currently in production. I only have one 4x left and thought it was time to try some new...

The guy in the video cracked me up, he kept twitching both elbows before each throw. It just looks silly as hell heh heh.

Hey there, Brooklyn center over here. Im not all that far from lakewood hills, but things are too hectic for me to join any leagues right now. Although I do like the sound of yours, and I hope you can accomplish your goal of getting that course up to 18 holes.

One thing I like about certain leagues is if they keep track of statistics. I don't know why but I love stats. There is a park close to my house (central park, brooklyn park, mn) that I guess just started a new league. Its kind of strange, its completely on your honor. Meaning they will hold...

yeah they have a curious rating system. It seems kind of paradoxical to me. They calculate based off existing scratch player data. What makes me wonder is how they initially defined a '1000' rated player before they had ratings. In someways it does make sense though, with baskets always...

For a beginner I would focus on discs that they can throw better right now rather than something that would be better for their form long term. They will generally have more fun throwing something that matches their arm speed, which more often than not is going to be the most understable disc...

The reason your throws become wild when you switched to powergrip is because you need to adjust the speed of your throw. With only two fingers on the disc, you will not have as much grip strength and it requires a slower motion to get a straight throw. once you increase the grip strength you...

By the way, incase you didn't know, this plastic is so good because its packed with anti-oxidants. Not too mention it is a good source of vitamins and minerals.

readysetstab, When you hyzer putt properly, you don't necessarily want to aim to the right of the basket or at "nothing". You should be aiming at the right section of the chains. Your disc should not have so much right to left movement that you have to aim that far right. On a 30 foot putt...

That would be interesting to see if it absorbed some swamp gunk or something like that. I should see if he can get it weighed. Colors were the same (blue), weights were the same (150 class) for the flick. His newer ones fly pretty much identically, but swamp disk is totally different. I...

Anyone pull a disc from a swamp or pond and notice that it doesn't fly the way you think it should? I am wondering if discs that sit underwater for an extended period of time become water logged or somehow affected in another way. Reason I ask is that I have a friend that pulled a flick and a...
