In this case, maybe, the "plus" mold shape of some of the 1.3's is unintentional. Sometimes the slanted rim comes from the way the plastic cools and shrinks, IIRC from some things I've read on this board. Again, I've only noticed the "plus" feel on domey max-weights, so maybe the two are related.

Not all 1.3's are plus molds. I have two or three that aren't. The only ones I've seen that have slanted rims are the absurdly domey max-weight ones. Also, I've never thrown a 1.1, but from what I understand, they are a little less overstable than the 1.2's. My non-plus 1.3's are definitely...

The 167-ish 1.3 SOLF I have has low HSS, and sometimes won't fade out from a turnover. The 175 I have has a cereal-bowl dome and a super slanted rim, and flies like a meathook. It's hard to sum up the 1.3 run, I think.

The Whittler never gripped well enough for me to bag it. I'm happiest with a Birdie/Zephyr (which will fit in the front pocket of my Silverback) because of the inner rim. I don't like the rounded-ness of the Rattler/Whittler.

I'm definitely more comfortable flicking a Magic for this distance. I've had a hell of a lot of difficulty learning to throw slow, backhand approaches, so I just started flicking and it's worked out pretty well for straight, anhyzer, and hyzer. My sidearm isn't good for much else besides this...

I can definitely see myself coming this year. It's my last summer in the area and I've never played this event before.

I was watching a video of Sandstrom giving some instruction in a gym. I obviously couldn't understand him but still found some helpful things by watching his motions. This, in combination with some ruminating on what's been causing my knee irritation got me on this topic. I've been x-stepping...

I just ordered 3 SPD's from Disc Golf Center- a pair of 167's and a 159. The 159 is a flat hog (like a new 11x Champ Eagle). One of the 167's has a different top, like those "Test Configurations" that the Pro Shop put out with the blunter nose. I didn't think these were still around but maybe...

Let's talk about a Blowfly on a summer day after it's been sitting in your trunk. Or those woven (knitted?) frisbees that you can fold into your pocket. I've thrown one of those and it's crazy overstable (maybe because of the small diameter?)

I heard it's a faster Cheeteeagleopardzellebird.

Sheet metal, no doubt.

I was hoping you'd respond, but I was expecting a number of Shawn Clement videos :P Thanks!

Okay, without trying to explain my thought process yet (because I'm not too savvy with body mechanics terminology), I will pose this question: Would a lower "base speed" (Arlyn's terms, see 4:15) yield (for a player trying to incorporate leverage into his/her throw) an easier opportunity to...

You said this about the shoulders, but is it true for the hips, too?
