    MVP New to gyro: Initial Impressions

    Proxy will beat in to be flippy, I find that it happens somewhat gradually, but probably only a few weeks of steady play until you see some serious drift. Photon, Wave and Trace are by far the 3 best 11 speeds MVP makes. Photon and Wave sit on either end of the Wraith spectrum, and there is...

    MVP Build a one model per manufacturer bag

    I actually don't think I'd have to change that much, if you're talking molds (like the title seems to imply) and we could bag multiples. Assuming that, here's mine Discraft Nuke - all distance driver duties, I have Nukes ranging from 14/4/0/4 to 14/5/-3/2 MVP Limit - super OS distance driver...

    [Innova] New Innova Stuff

    I may be able to shed some light on that; somewhere around the mid-to-late 2000s something changed either with how PDGA measured discs or maybe the plastics that Innova used for discs and discs that previously would've measured 2.0cm started measuring 2.1cm, 2.1 became 2.2 and so on. If we look...

    MVP New to gyro: Initial Impressions

    Electron discs generally start fairly similar or maybe a touch more US, but they beat in a lot faster. An electron proxy will be a turnover disc after a few tree hits. Reactors aren't made in Electron, unfortunately. Photons, and most MVP drivers, are generally flat, but they aren't always...

    Par Talk

    MPO, in this case, gives the tightest range of rating spread, excepting a few outliers. It makes for the easiest comparison and that's why I gave the accompanying ratings breakdown. Divisions are set up with the idea that people of certain skill ranges will gravitate towards them, whether it be...

    Par Talk

    Yes, thank you, I've read those a couple of times before but had a quick read through them again. The hole fits into either a par 4 or a par 5 depending on the way you use. I did include statistics from the entire field to start out with, but that was because it was easy and I figured that the...

    Par Talk

    Alright, so, the answer seems to be "no, that's not enough information to conclude that it's a par 5". I deliberately want to avoid talking about the design of the hole and the hole itself, because it's a bit of a mess overall, but there are no OBs, mandos or hazards and no weird rules in...

    Par Talk

    Well, that's a part of what I was getting at with asking whether more information was required. The hole is clearly designed with the idea that certain divisions play the hole and others don't, because there is an alternative. As such, I only included data from the divisions that played it. I...

    Par Talk

    Hey, we just had a tournament with a redesigned hole. Said hole scored an average 5.69 across all divisions that played that hole, there were 6 3s on the hole (and no 1s or 2s) and the most common scores on the hole were a 5, followed by 6, followed by 4. With just this information, would it be...

    OTB Open

    DD had him, they signed him just before his shoulder injury.

    OTB Open

    My MPO picks ended a bit worse, but my "darkhorse" pick of Rathbun wasn't far off. Really happy to see Ella play well and finish.

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    Nerves were killing me on the first tee of the first A-tier in my country. But on hole 2 I chained out for an ace and got a tap in birdie and that really calmed the nerves. Went on to shoot my highest rated round, despite 3 missed c1 putts. Currently holding a, uh... 17 stroke lead on 2nd place...

    Durable minimalist/barefoot/zero drop shoes

    Good to know. I do tend to destroy shoes, and have never had a pair of DG shoes last me longer than a handful of months in good condition, so I'm hoping Altras will be the first.

    Durable minimalist/barefoot/zero drop shoes

    I'm wearing Altra Lone Peak 7s as I write this with about 1000 to 1500 throws in them as well as maybe 200 miles of wear and they're in great condition. Mostly turf tees and fairways but a bunch of asphalt during field work and quite a bit of rocky terrain, too. Edit: They feel like they'll...
