    So close but yet so far away (almost 1st ace)

    Thanks everyone. Tips are always welcome. I will drive with a driver FH but use a mid or putter BH for approach. I don't get a lot of practice time but when I do I try working on mids using my FH. Really need to practice putting also. I have a basket in my backyard, just finding the time is...

    So close but yet so far away (almost 1st ace)

    That is currently what I do, throw Mids backhand. I have a serviceable backhand for everything but driving.

    So close but yet so far away (almost 1st ace)

    Well, I never thought this day would happen. I primarily throw RHFH and I've been maxing out around 220' as my longest shot. This weekend I changed my grip from a 2 finger stacked grip to just 1 finger. After throwing for 15 holes, I finally got the hang of it and started to rip some out by our...

    Hats off to Prodigy and Disc_Dudes

    You will need to search Disc_Dudes like that as Disc Dudes brings up someone else. They are facebook only. They have some pretty wicked looking Buzzz hats. They are a small time business just starting out. I will be ordering a Buzzz hat for my step son soon.

    Hats off to Prodigy and Disc_Dudes

    Prodigy and Disc_Dudes earned some kudos from me this last week. I was searching for the Prodigy Breast Cancer Awareness special edition disc. My 2 local stores did not have it nor could they order due to reasons I will not discuss. I could not find it online at 4 or 5 places either...

    Hello, and thanks for the chance to win this fabulous guide. I am a frequent user of the Inbounds Inflight website charts and it is a very useful tool to determine if I might like a disc or not. I am a research hound and love looking stuff up and comparing things. It's a logical brain type...

    [Putters] What's your putter?

    I started with the Innova Avair but moved to the MVP Ion Proton Soft. That mold will be in my bag for a long time. I never felt comfortable putting with the avair. Went and bought the Ion and I have serious confidence in my putting now.

    A Break Through Moment - Newbie

    I had one of them moments, played a great weekend 2 weeks ago at Hudson Mills in MI then 2 days later I could not throw worth a flip. My drives where turning and burning and my wife and DG partners said I lost my MoJo. After playing 48 holes of horrible DG it clicked to me on my ride home...

    Mid vs Driver flight pattern RHFH

    Ahhhhhhh, gotcha. That makes sense. I was reading as it was wasn't easy for the beginner to throw well, not that it masks problems.

    Mid vs Driver flight pattern RHFH

    I found the flick VERY friendly and easy. The nuke SS has taken a bit more to get it to fly better but I thought my form might be off so I tried some mids and had crash and burn which I will now work on.

    Mid vs Driver flight pattern RHFH

    Thanks for the replys everyone. I was afraid the flick was hiding form issues and I'm sure the Nuke SS and Krait that I've thrown are doing the same thing, masking problems. Back to the drawing board. Guess my wife won't feel so bad on the course next time as my throws will look horrible now...

    Mid vs Driver flight pattern RHFH

    I am still new to this sport, been playing for about 5 weeks now. I started off throwing RHBH but have switched over to RHFH. Currently I am using a Discraft Flick for my drive which are ~220-240'. However I have recently wanted to take the advice that everyone has posted to myself and all...

    I wasnt able to throw a lot tonight but I did try a mix of drivers and mid range, and the mid range discs had a better feel of being ripped out of my hand on my backhand and flew really nice. The shark was the best feel followed by my wolf and the kite wasnt bad. My throws tonight where only...

    Hello. My wife and I just started disc golf about 2 weeks ago. We have only played 2 rounds and done a couple evenings of practicing but I have concerns about her keeping interest in the sport. My concern is her throwing which is generally horrible. She gets almost no distance, maybe 75' on...
