    DGPT: 2021 Des Moines Challenge July 9-11

    To confirm what others have posted, Pickard Park in its normal configuration is just about the longest and most open in the area. With all of the great work being put in by volunteers and the even staff, the XL layout being used for the event will make it much more suitable for touring pros with...

    [Innova] Premium Aviar Driver

    The only recent premium plastic Aviar Drivers that I have been able to find are color glow champion and only as TFR discs. They fly about as you'd expect starting off with a mildly overstable flight and defined fade and they beat in to become dead straight. The color glow champion is one of the...

    [Question] ID a disc or ask "What is the story on this disc...?" - Take II

    Any help on identifying this disc? Ink has worn off in the middle, feels and measures around a 9 or 10 speed. It's quite flippy, but feels different from any Sidewinders, Roadrunners, or Mambas that I have felt. Doesn't seem convex enough for a Roadrunner, but it also doesn't seem concave enough...

    I don't do an x-step when doing any drills, just a standstill and moving into the plant. When I actually throw, I rarely do a standstill shot unless it is fieldwork or a shorter throw. I never feel like I know where the disc is going when I treat my arm more like a whip, and the disc never seems...

    Do you have any tips on transitioning from doing these drills inside into actually throwing a disc? I practice a lot of these weight shift drills inside and I can tell that it is very different from when I actually throw (I can feel the brace and how to use my arm as a whip), but as soon as I...

    https://youtu.be/-ifm3W4XRz4 I've been working a lot on being more balanced in my throws and these throws felt like they show the changes I've made. The first throw was definitely my best and it was the only one I released on hyzer. This first throw in the video went about 25' further than the...

    I did some field work today since the weather was so nice. I had a big breakthrough in that I fixed my shoulder timing. Now the reachback and shoulders move when they're supposed to. Every thing feels much easier and I have had some surprisingly far throws with putters and fairways. Obviously...

    [Putters] RDG Stego: 3, 0, +1, 4

    Does anyone use these for putting? I have been experimenting with it and love it. I have a moderately fast spin putt and it forces me to commit to my putts lest it hyzer out early. Also nice for longer putts as it has a dependable finish. Additionally in the event of a complete airball, they...

    https://youtu.be/OYBU1pIV8FU The first throw is a one leg drill. It feels quite different, but I wasn't getting any efforltess distance with it. Very short throws with it. The others are standstills with each throw using a faster disc. The orangle Eagle went as far or farther than the Blue...

    https://youtu.be/jcsRCj785xs Here's a new video. The timing feels way better than before, but everything feels slower. Putters and mids specifically are going much better while drivers of any kind don't seem to be very easy or go as far. Not sure why I'm I having such different experiences...

    Form Analysis

    So the upper arm is at a right angle to the chest for most of the throw right? Does the angle increase when driving the elbow past the right pec? Also is curling the wrist a really bad thing to do? I feel like I get more spin on the disc when I do it, but I'm not sure if it does so. Also not...

    Form Analysis

    I've been working on fixing the timing especially, but my body can't seem to figure it out. If I slow down and force the timing, I lose all weight shift I was getting. When I try it a bit quicker to get the weight shift into it, I revert back to bad timing. Should I just keep working on door...

    Thank you so much, excited to make these changes. Would changing the plant foot help with consistency, power, or both?
