jeez finally a thread in a language i understand...
moved to nyc about a year and a half ago and havent been able to play at all, so i havent been keeping up with the new stuff coming out. most other threads are complete nonsense to me and i have nothing to contribute. nice to see a living...
first post on dgr after a looong time...feels good to be back
anyway, i had a similar conundrum a while ago with my gf when we were in california. my situation was a little different in the sense that my lady WANTS to be the best at everything she does so her frustration set in quickly...
i keep 4 in my bag:
163 for annys and turnovers
168 for hyzerflips and more stability (workhorse)
172 for a little more stability
175 for windy days and a guaranteed fade
168-172 is my favorite range
isnt the piranha discontinued as well? and the old apx swirl putters? and then all those random discs...dolphin, griffin, raven, vipers, ...
or am i wrong? i thought i saw mention of those discs floating around somewhere
i learned to hyzer flip with a beat stingray and a light sidewinder...then, as i learned more and more, i stepped up to faster/more stable discs to hyzer flip...its a beautiful thing to watch
nothing...absolutely nothing...any line selection was made with disc selection, and as soon as i start my motion, my mind is clear
before my actual throw, i take a practice run up to test the footing and during that time, i am subconsciously deciding if i like it or not...i then adjust grip...
hah!...aint that the truth...me and billy the kid were tossin them at vibram this year and you have to put some serious anny on those to get a straight landing...and they go farrrrrr
Innova:
Wizard (Duh) and Predator
Discraft:
Wizard and Roc
Gateway:
Roc and Predator
Call me a conformist, but these discs are just awesome. My bag only has the predator from discraft, so it has to be the one i miss the most, and same for gateway with the wizard. And as for innova, between...
5 identical Wizards...done...i played some putter only rounds this summer and found my scores within 3 on average of my usual scores with a full bag, and i was never more than 5' off the fairways...i can just control them so much better...those longer holes would be tough but if im playing...
1) place 3rd or higher in an Am1 tourney (I got 4th last year which was my first year playing am1)
2) win an Am1 tournament
3) get my raw (field) d over 450 consistently (almost there...im at 420 right now)
4) develop my longer (>35') putts
5) (least important) get my first ace...not too...
i am also sorry for getting in here late...last semester was ridiculous and i havent been on the forums for quite some time
in any case, i think in addition to getting weight forward, wrist angle, and snap improvement, experimenting with different lines will prove beneficial
until this summer...
