Just played Dexter this morning, did not do well! 16 over. There's a lot of trees in the way! ;) Then played Westmoreland this afternoon... quick round was fun. It's an open course but it's almost always windy which makes seemingly simple things quite interesting, like a `simple` putt :)

Thanks all for the continued advice! :) Update: I've been practicing the Dan Beto drills daily with great result! Currently I'm getting close to the same distance as before, with just the `1-step` hit! I'm noticing that I'm getting a lower, flatter trajectory as well as a `whoosh` sound on the...

Yep I found that even with a simple 2-step I got some pretty good distance. It does make sense to get the fundamentals of the `hit` down, before trying to throw in extra stuff like the X-Step. Btw, technique appears to be very different between Dan Beto, and the technique in the Discraft video...

Garublador; thanks for the suggestions! Yeah in my youtube search I had come across that Dan Beto video. I'll practice those drills... and will get another video up in a bit to check on progress :) Also, I'll see if I can make a video with slo-mo...

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I saw that Discraft video last week... great info indeed. I should watch it again ;) Traver, I think you're right on with the high release... it's something I've been having an issue with. I'll also try a shorter last step and making sure I'm not leaning back upon...

Hi all! I've been bitten by the disc golf bug and have been playing for about 2 months now. I'm hoping you guys can provide some criticism on my technique. I play at Westmoreland in Eugene, OR. And I practice at a local field where I also walk my dogs. Currently I have a Star Leopard and a...
