    Infinite Discs down for 2 days?

    No snark at all :-) Just got back home from a couple days away to find a nice package from InfiniteDiscs. Yay!! Playing a real tough course for first time tomorrow in York Pa and needed the replacement Roc among other discs.

    Infinite Discs down for 2 days?

    There wasn't a "migration" message there prior to the post. The site is functioning now even though the migration message is still there (placed an order).

    Infinite Discs down for 2 days?

    The main page comes up fine but from there I can't hit a specific link. For instance, if you select "Innova" it times out on a SQL error.

    Infinite Discs down for 2 days?

    Haven't needed a disc in awhile so could have been down for longer, but Infinite Discs site is down now for second day in a row with a pretty obvious issue. Has it been longer than this? I like to order from this site since I can see the individual disc I am getting. Would buy from other...

    Elbow Tendonitis - Am I done forever?

    I feel for you! I developed tennis elbow after starting to play DG last year. I am just now getting over it. Normal resting/PT didn't do it. My doctor gave me an injection of something called AmnioFix which is full of growth factors. Then after some PT it is doing much better and I am now...

    Greetings from PA!

    Ryan, Welcome! I'm a noob too (as of mid-summer last year) and my first course was Kennilworth. Live outside Coatesville and work in Malvern. Played several courses around Lancaster area too. Definitely looking forward to the weather warming up!

    Head/shoulders affecting throw

    Hey all, First chance to do some field throwing this year. *Trying* to see if all my forum reading would make any difference in my newbie technique - perhaps a bit. But I did notice one thing. My normal throw has my shoulders opening a bit and looking forward - maybe not totally at target but...

    Confusion - steely wrist stop vs pull around outside?

    Thanks all, I appreciate the clarifications! So when you lock the grip down hard during the throw, is it pinching BOTH the thumb and forefinger equally hard together? Or is it mostly pressure from the thumb and more of a "push" inwards towards the disc center that further bends the far end of...

    Confusion - steely wrist stop vs pull around outside?

    Hi all, After trying to read as much as I can on the forums, I am confused by two things (or rather if they are both valid how they work together): 1) the idea of a "steely wrist stop" 2) pulling around the outside of the disc Can both of these be done in the same throw? Is the pulling...

    Help with tennis elbow

    At home I was doing the following: 1) bad arm straight out, push wrist downwards with other hand and hold for 20 seconds x 3 2) bad arm straight out, pull wrist backwards with other hand and hold for 20 seconds x 3 3) hold some longer object out with straight arm with thumb inward, rotate hand...

    Secret technique ever revealed?

    I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I got on the archive board some time ago and read thru many of the threads. Blake_T had started one on "secret technique... almost complete" that sounded like it was proving promising on several students of his. Here are some of his quotes: I was...

    Help with tennis elbow

    Backhand. I really haven't learned how to throw forehand (or rather let me say I don't *try* to throw too many forehands - can't say I've learned a backhand either :\)

    Help with tennis elbow

    I would absolutely agree with: 1) don't resort to anything like this without going thru the more conservative route of physical therapy, etc... I did that for quite a while and it was the doctor who suggested this treatment. He offered this free for me as a test patient and (for me) I am...

    Help with tennis elbow

    Technically not but I was thinking the same thing. At least this is from donated placentas from mothers who have C-Sections. So (at least for me) no morality issues to face as if it were fetus tissue. Amazing science!
