Hey folks—I know discraft typically isn’t as collectible as others, but what about first run? I throw Cranks, and found a pink first run esp crank at a local shop for $18. Is this worth picking up as anything beyond a thrower?

I also played a short course at the beach this morning, and found that I’m pretty effective at throwing accurate skip shots with my firebird. My home courses are pretty mountainous so I doubt I’ll get much use out of that shot, but it was really fun.

I took everyone’s advise to heart and took the eMac truth out of the bag and started throwing my leopard forehand. The new use for my leopard has changed everything—I struggled with it a lot and considered taking it out. Now I can throw really low lines with it and keep it pretty straight. Also...

Dang autocorrect—obviously meant “hyzer” and that the “bug” bit me. I should also say that I’m happy to buy more discs, and I have multiples of some discs. Mostly for backups.

Thank you! Not terribly far—today I paced off a few between 240’ and 270’. I threw one that I forgot to pace off, but that I think went around 300’ with a little tailwind. Most importantly to me, my long one had a nice flight and didn’t float and fall left. I’m having a very difficult time...

Hey folks! I’m new to the sport (well, except for a few founds in college) and am trying to learn as much as possible. For background, I was a pretty good ultimate player and have some disc handling skills. For what it’s worth, I was also a pretty high level amateur (ball) golfer before the...
